So many restaurants in YVR, especially those that opened within the last 5yrs or so are mostly like this. Stupid Instagram has ruined everything.
Like, their food and ambience might be pretty and all, but the flavor is average at best.
It rare now that I'd go into a resto and I said, wow, this is quite decent.
The last one that came to mind was Lorette Brasserie in Whistler. Like I went in without much expectation other than it was close to where I was staying. But food was actually decent and quite refreshing on their take on some food. It wasn't wow because some plates were meh. But overall, I gave it a 8.5 and had been back already.
The other one I'd recommend is not fancy. But it reminds me of those hole in the wall places that were more prominent back in the 2000s where food was the center stage. Lao Cai in West Van. They also have location in Surrey and Richmond (just opened) but I haven't tried them. But the West Van one is legit.
