In the early '70s, Japanese cuisine, especially sushi, was foreign to most Vancouverites. Fast forward to 2017: the city has embraced sushi with open arms. It is home to 600 sushi eateries and counting. In fact, Vancouver was the first Canadian city to introduce Japanese cuisine, earning its title as the sushi capital of North America. Judging by the crowds that head to The Lobby Lounge and RawBar at the Fairmont Pacific Rim, sushi remains as popular as ever. Heading the open-concept kitchen is sushi master Takayuki (Taka) Omi.

“Sushi is simply a combination of three or four ingredients, but what makes superior sushi is the ingredients you use,” Taka explains. Japanese born, Taka earned his culinary degree in Tokyo. Before long he was honing his chops working at the Yamaha Resort in Tsumagoi, Japan. In 1997, the talented chef was invited to work at Toronto’s famed Fairmont Royal York.  Thirteen years later, drawn by B.C.’s rich seafood bounty, Taka moved west.

“Sushi is all about freshness and B.C. is rich with a wonderful selection of fish, like salmon, Albacore tuna, halibut and sablefish. Which as a sushi chef, is a dream,” Taka explains. His enthusiasm for producing "top notch" sushi and introducing unique plates has put The Lobby Lounge and RawBar among the top-ranked sushi restaurants in Vancouver.

Vancouver bars and restaurants for warming cocktails

Vancouver bars and restaurants for warming cocktails

The Fairmont Pacific Rim’s Lobby Lounge is a swank spot for a drink whether you’re in town visiting or simply looking for that hotel bar ambiance. During the holiday season, stop in for a range of festive fireside sippers: try mulled wine, spiced apple cider or hot buttered rum. Looking for something a little different? Not exactly warm in temperature, but the chilli chocolate cocktail will be sure to warm you up. This adults-only chocolate milk is spiked with smoky mezcal, port, maple, hazelnut and spicy cayenne that’ll definitely leave a little heat on your tongue.

As advertised, this modern space just east of Coal Harbour stretches out in calming white marble amid the bustle of check-ins and concierges. Low couches surround a sleekly designed gas fireplace, glam 50s-era seats are illuminated by lux gold light fixtures and the notes from a white baby grand tinkle over the entire movie-set scene. Munch on complimentary nuts and olives while you decide on your drink. A flute of champagne seems the appropriate choice here.
