Best Casual Restaurants in Gastown

Best Greek salad in town! I definitely recommend it.

Steamworks is a fabulous place to meet with friends for a glass of wine and a bite. The ambiance is friendly and fun, the service predictably perfect and the food always delish. The views of the harbour and north shore mountains are a much appreciated bonus! We love sharing the special pizza but there are so many interesting choices on the menu. We love meeting at Steamworks and highly recommend it to tourists and locals as well!

Friendly and attentive service with amazing drinks!

We had a wonderful time at this restaurant! The food was incredible, the service was excellent, and the vibe was so romantic—highly recommend! The only thing that could be improved is the server’s knowledge of the drink menu. We ordered the premium sake flight, but when we asked for details, the server simply Googled the names from the labels. From past experiences at Japanese izakayas, servers are usually well-versed in sake and enhance the experience by explaining the different types. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case here. That being said, the food was absolutely top-notch! We’d definitely come back.

Great experience here! Very personalized service, lovely room. Started off with tasty complimentary bread and butter and tried the fried cauliflower and braised brisket. Braised brisket was excellent!
