Best Yaletown 2014

GOLD: BLUE WATER CAFE + RAW BAR

Silver: Cioppino’s Mediterranean grill & Enoteca | Bronze: The Flying Pig | Honourable Mentions: La Pentola della Quercia, Homer St. Café & Bar

 

In a district that’s built out but still lacks a common spirit, judges rewarded general excellence. Blue Water Cafe + Raw Bar took Gold for a mammoth space that surges like the ocean it pays tribute to. In it, great wines are poured, clients are entertained, and supreme service makes big spenders and barflies feel equally at home. Cioppino’s Mediterranean Grill & Enoteca (Silver) merits its spot on the strength of chef Pino Posteraro’s unmatched chef-sommelier skills and his drive to innovate. If Yaletown does develop a hangout, it’ll look a lot like The Flying Pig (Bronze): relaxed, urbane, consistently delicious (brunch, especially the warm banana bread, is killer).
