What makes Gastown VIP Walking Food Tour by Vancouver Foodie Tours a unique experience ?
The central intersection of Gastown – great for patios and people watching! You’ll see a cross-section of old, new, modern, and old-school living here!
A working steam clock, one of only a few in the world, located in Vancouver’s Victorian Gastown.
The name refers to the ancient Mexican monarchy honouring the influence both his parents made on his culinary style. While his mother inspired our sister restaurant Ophelia, the familial tradition has continued here at Monarca where you’ll find playful dishes and a lively atmosphere inspired by Chef Higareda’s father.
Gastronomy Gastown fuses a modern day Vancouver with Italian influence, which gives the opportunity to create an entirely new culinary experience. The restaurant, which is located in Gastown, serves elevated contemporary twists on classic dishes. At only 46 seats, Gastronomy Gastown is an intimate but invigorating destination.
