WHERE TO FIND GOOD PLACES TO EAT A YVR


Vancouver International Airport
is a well organized airport with a large selection of places where you can dine while waiting for or arriving from a flight.  Besides a food court with a number of fast-food services, there are some more high-end restaurants where you can relax, enjoy the panoramic views of the North Shore mountains or watch the comings-and-goings of fellow travellers.

For moderately priced meals, I recommend Milestone’s Grill & Bar located in the Domestic Terminal, level 3 (pre security).  I’ve dined at other Milestone’s restaurants in Vancouver (they have over 30 locations), so I can recommend their excellent menu that offers a full range of options for lunch, brunch, dinner or drinks.

The menu includes signature dishes as well as sandwiches, pastas, seafood, steaks, ribs and chicken.  Their rotisserie menu includes prime rib to over-baked pizzas.  They also offer salads, appetizers and entrees for vegetarians and people with dietary needs. Their prices are moderate and their meals will satisfy the hungry traveller’s palate.

Mon - Wed. 6.30 am - 8 pm
Thurs - Sun. 7 am. - 10 pm.

The Globe@YVR, located on the lobby level of the Fairmont Vancouver Airport Hotel,
is an award-winning signature restaurant with an a la carte menu created by Executive Chef, Kamal Siva, using local West Coast products. The restaurant itself is a showcase of contemporary architectural design with magnificent panoramic views of the North Shore Mountains and the US arrival/departure ramp.


Hanami Japanese Restaurant
, is located on the departure level 3 of the International terminal just before pre-flight scanning. Enjoy this quiet atmosphere where you can dine on everything from Dim Sum to Japanese dishes.

Relax in the Pacific Market with a beer or glass of wine, or visit the food court in the international terminal departures level where you can find an array of small cafes serving fast foods, such as Flying Wedge Pizza, and Burger King

There’s also a selection of coffee shops, including Starbucks and Tim Horton’s, a Canadian tradition, where you can pick up donuts, bagels and sandwiches.
