Anh & Chi

Top choice in Vancouver


You'll find warm and solicitous service at this delightful contemporary Vietnamese restaurant whose authentic, perfectly prepared dishes are a must for local foodies. Not sure what to order? Check out the menu's 'bucket list' dishes, including the highly recommended prawn-and-pork-packed crunchy crepe. Reservations are not accepted and waits here can be long; consider mid-afternoon weekday dining instead.

There are good options here for vegetarians. If tables are not available, you can dine at the small bar; under its glowing, leaf-patterned stained-glass window, you can also plunge into the cocktail list, lip-smacking Vietnamese punch included.
