The Sardine Can - Vancouver, British Columbia

A good amount of vegetarian options for my friend. Food also tasted simple and flavourful. Going with a group is better since you can share the tapas.

Visited the Sardine Can last night and had a wonderful experience. It’s a tiny place with 3 tables and some space at the bar. The service was excellent. We tried about half the menu and some specials, and I really loved about half of those dishes. They other half were ... pretty good, but not something I would order again. The spicy garlic prawns are excellent, and the oil is really amazing (great for bread dipping). The paella was lovely but beware it is quite fishy. I would recommend checking this place out.

One of my favourite places to go to for drinks. Gets busy but the staff doesn't rush you to leave.

Super cute! And tasty! The place itself is so small it reminds of a sardine can - long and skinny. We were lucky to have visited on a quiet weekday evening. The food is served on small plates (some are vintage, probably from antique stores), adorable bread tower (we were ... told that since the table real estate is limited they have to strive for smaller footprints and go upwards, makes sense), everything was delicious. Prawns, mushrooms in sherry sauce, paella, green beans with romesco sauce - all very good. They don't have hot water for tea or coffee, so go find it elsewhere. Read more

Delicious food, incredible service, good wine. I've been here a few times now and always seem to be planning when I'll be back next. Undoubtedly one of my favourites in Van.
