Vancouver’s cultural diaspora provides an abundance of flavourful options. Wood-trimmed, artifact-laden Sala Thai (pictured) obliges with an extensive menu selection, from flower-shaped minced chicken and peanut-filled dumplings to peppery Tom Yum soup and a sweet-and-sour seafood platter. Nearby, Le Crocodile is a long-running, highly acclaimed French Alsatian stalwart where chef Michel Jacob blends classic and contemporary themes. All things Italian take centre stage—including the occasional live aria—at neighbouring Don Francesco, which also happens to sport one of the city’s best wild-game menus.—Tim Pawsey
