Vij's · Restaurant · Vancouver
Vikram Vij's Cambie Village room where the wine-marinated lamb popsicles remain the most famous Indian dish in the city.
Vij's is a Vancouver Indian institution. Vikram Vij opened it in 1994, and it has been rewriting what Indian food means in the city ever since, now from a striking purpose-built space at 3106 Cambie Street in Cambie Village.
Vij carries a spot in the Michelin Guide's Vancouver selection and stands as one of Canada's best-known chefs, an India-born restaurateur who helped redefine how the country eats Indian food. His kitchen treats Indian technique as a living, evolving thing rather than a fixed template.
The signature is unmissable: the wine-marinated lamb popsicles in a fragrant fenugreek cream sauce, a dish so identified with the restaurant that regulars order it on reflex. Beyond that, look for the jackfruit in a cumin and black-cardamom curry, the boneless chicken wings served on ri
