1 Best Restaurant in Vancouver, British Columbia

Harambe

$$

The name means "working together" in Swahili, and the family that owns this welcoming restaurant does just that as it introduces guests to traditional Ethiopian fare. Savory stews are served atop platter-size pancakes of injera, a tangy, spongy flatbread used to scoop up every morsel. The bread does the job of cutlery, so you won't find knives and forks here. Order a combination platter to sample a range of flavors. The vegetarian version, which includes spinach, lentils, peas, assorted vegetables, and salad, is especially tasty. The space is colorful, and the walls are hung with Ethiopian artwork. Unlike some Ethiopian restaurants with traditional low seating, there are regular tables and chairs here.
