It’s always a tense moment when Van Mag drops it’s finalists for the highly-coveted restaurant awards and every year the competition seems to get more difficult. Here are the finalists copied right from the Van Mag<\/a>\u00a0announcement.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Below you\u2019ll find the spots that our judges deemed worthy of vying for the the elusive gold medal in their respective categories. From holes-in-the-wall to big-fancy-deals, these are the rooms that reached for excellence the past year, who served the dishes that implanted themselves in our judge\u2019s memories and who created an environment that they didn\u2019t want leave.<\/p>\n

Among these nominees also sits one spot that reigned supreme this year\u2014the one and only Restaurant of the Year. All the winners will be revealed at our annual blow out\u2014the legendary Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards (our 30th Anniversary, no less!), taking place on April 29 .<\/p>\n
