Downtown restaurants – finding and selecting places to eat

There are many downtown restaurants in Vancouver. Regardless of your preference, it seems there’s a restaurant nearby. So how do you choose a restaurant with good food downtown? First, you need to find the restaurants from which to choose.

Apart from searching on the web, or checking a downtown restaurant guide, by just taking a walk around you can see that downtown restaurants in Vancouver offer a great variety of cuisine. But what looks good on the outside might not be good on the inside – that is, your inside! In fact, good restaurants where the locals eat don’t necessarily look obviously good on the outside. That’s because the biggest variable is food quality, and you can’t tell that by the decor. So how do choose a downtown restaurant with good food that suits you?

One of the biggest clues is checking who eats there. Just like you check for Chinese people in a Chinese restaurant if you want good Chinese food, you should check who’s eating in


 

the downtown restaurant you’re going to visit. If you see a happy, local downtown crowd, smiling wait staff, and the food on the plates looks good, you know you can count on good food and reliable quality.

Central Bistro offers freshly made ‘comfort food’ and we advertise the fact that it’s ‘where the locals eat’. And they do — because the food is reasonably priced and the quality is reliable. In fact, much of our menu is made with fresh ingredients, from scratch, every day. We have a casual atmosphere and we make sure you’ll get good service so that you can enjoy your time in our restaurant.

Central Bistro is located in Vancouver’s west end, which extends from downtown out to Stanley Park. We’re on Denman Street, which runs across the downtown peninsula from English Bay to Coal Harbor. So there’s some dispute about whether we’re a downtown restaurant or a west end restaurant, but all we really care about is serving freshly-made food for you to enjoy. So give us a try, we’ll welcome you — and make sure you’ve found the right place.
