Yaletown is Vancouver’s Dining District

Yaletown is Vancouver’s trendy and upscale renovated warehouse district, boasting a huge variety of restaurants, sports bars and late night lounges.  A number of restaurants will be offering special goodies & discounts on Monday, April 2nd just for AFP delegates who make reservations at  www.yaletowninfo.com/conference/afp or see the restaurant reservations desk in the registration area.

Yaletown’s converted heritage buildings are now home to a dense mixture of condominium and loft residences, some of the city’s top fashion and design shops, cutting edge restaurants, cafés and bars, late night entertainment, and destination retail boutiques. Described as “Canada hippest neighborhood” and a “foodies delight” Yaletown sets the table with over 80 restaurants and cafes, with menus to suite every taste.

This dynamic neighborhood is home to Zagat 5 star rated restaurants, many of which have also received “Golden Plate” awards, annual “Best of” awards and have even competed in international chef and bartender events.  The chef’s of Yaletown are as inventive and unique as the fashionable boutiques and gift shops of the area.
