Best Restaurants in Commercial Drive

19 restaurants analyzed · Vancouver

Commercial Drive is one of Vancouver's most characterful stretches for everyday eating, where Mediterranean and Italian roots run deep alongside a strong showing of Asian spots, all at prices that won't leave you wincing. The strip along "the Drive" between Venables and Broadway rewards a slow walk, with the kind of unpretentious trattorias and mezze plates that locals return to weekly rather than saving for special occasions. If you're after a neighbourhood where the food reflects people who actually live and cook here, this is a reliable place to start.
