While all summer long you can find us at Vancouver Magazine praising the city’s top patios and rooftops. But now that fall is officially here, we’re changing gears entirely: it’s fireplace season, ya’ll.

Here is the nomination and voting portal for the 2025 Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards People’s Choice division. While our traditional, cuisine-focused Restaurant Awards are still judged by our expert panel of judges—the People’s Choice division is judged by you, the people. Nominations are now open—this is the write-in portion of the process. You’ll only be able to nominate once per category, so, make it count! Nominations will close on November 22, 2024—after that we will open up voting.
