Fabulous place. Food, drinks, service, decor, ambiance. Even waiting for a table is a treat with the free appies/amuses to get the tummy juices flowing. GO TO VIJS Da Cook (9 replies, last updated by sophie. April 22, 2007)

My wife and I ate a Vij's for the first time last night and it was one of the best meals of my life. We drank some wine on the patio while we waited for our table which was very pleasant. We enjoyed chatting with the other people... (21 replies, last updated by lominator September 13, 2009)

I’ll be in Vancouver this weekend, and I’d like to take the advice of the many, many hounds who have recommended Vij's. Their website says the serve dinner from 5:30. And their phone message says 5:30... (5 replies, last updated by seattleliz April 6, 2009)

Tired of Vij's self-promo? Who else should he be promoting? I think the point is that Vikram has the whole package. Decor, service, consistency, training (look at the guy’s resume!), intelligent wine list, and yes food. The... (6 replies, last updated by Anne, Vancouver May 12, 2004)
