Hy's Steakhouse · Restaurant · Vancouver
The dark-wood Hornby Street chophouse where the cheese toast and tableside Caesar have not changed since 1962.
Hy's Steakhouse on Hornby Street is a genuine Vancouver institution, the downtown chophouse that has served the classics the same way for decades and never apologized for it. For the steaks and the wood-paneled dining room, it is one of the most reliable special-occasion tables in the city.
Hy's opened on Hornby Street in 1962, and the room still trades on old-school steakhouse theater: dark wood, warm low light, white linen, and a formal-but-comfortable feel that never goes out of style. It is the sort of clubby, low-lit space where deals get done at lunch and anniversaries get marked at night, and the service carries the same unhurried confidence as the setting.
The signatures are the reason people keep coming back. Hy's Famous Cheese Toast, a broiled slab of cheese-laden bread, has been on the menu since 1955 and is the house calling card. The Caesar salad is still prepared tableside, whisked together course by course at a cart brought to your table. Canada Prime steaks are the core of the menu, backed by a kitchen known for the theater of tableside service more broadly, including dishes finished at the table.
Hy's is open Monday through Thursday from 11:30am to 10pm, Friday from 11:30am to 10:30pm, Saturday from 4pm to 10:30pm, and Sunday and holidays from 4pm to 10pm. Reservations are booked directly through the restaurant's OpenTable page.
