Pac Rim Patio Pop-Up
The Pac Rim Patio Pop-Up is back for another summer of fun, opening for the season on Thursday, May 18. New this year, we’re pulling off the ultimate collaboration series as we bring together Vancouver’s top chefs to showcase their globally influenced cuisine. This series will see some of the city’s most celebrated chefs and restaurants serve up their favourite comfort food of choice from the food truck. In a celebration of culture, community, and comfort food in a casual way, come connect with your friends, family, colleagues, and sit back and relax in the Vancouver sun. Keep an eye out for the full calendar line-up to be announced.
Fairmont Pacific Rim’s Executive Chef Damon Campbell’s food truck stands center stage of the patio, serving a playful menu of appetizers, mains and refreshing desserts perfect for outdoor dining or packaged for take-away to enjoy while exploring Vancouver. To accompany Campbell’s dishes, Creative Beverage Director Grant Sceney has assembled a line-up of refreshing Malfy Gin cocktails including a series of G&T’s, Spritzes and other summer time sippers, alongside an extensive selection of craft beers and local and international wines.
The outdoor patio will be open Thursday to Sunday from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., with live music daily on Fridays and Saturdays until 8:00p.m., and until 6:00 p.m. every Thursday and Sunday.

Botanist
Named to the 50 Best Discovery list by the World’s 50 Best Restaurants and one of the world’s best bars in the Condé Nast Traveler Hot List and MICHELIN Recommended, the inviting restaurant space is inspired by the principles of botany, and transports guests into a world where day blurs into night, summer into winter, and food and drink are plenty. Executive Chef Hector Laguna’s menu represents the botany of the Pacific Northwest region, where locally sourced ingredients are coupled with contemporary techniques. With an innovative cocktail bar and lab shaking up chemist-like libations, a lounge pouring the world’s finest, a lush garden, and an exclusive terroir-driven wine program which supports small-batch sustainable and bio-dynamic farming practices; the experience reflects a new Pacific Northwest—one that has always been there, it was just waiting to be discovered.
Botanist Bar
