• No.35 North America's 50 Best Restaurants 2026

If you're looking for a fine-dining experience without the formality, head to hip Kitsilano spot AnnaLena – a restaurant where warm hospitality and creative cuisine go hand-in-hand. Modern and stylish, its minimalist interior pairs refined details such as leather seating and atmospheric lighting with playful curiosities – from Lego sculptures and clusters of cereal boxes to vintage Game Boys – keeping the focus firmly on the food, but with a playful, irreverent twist. The mischief extends to the multi-course tasting menu, with familiar flavours repackaged in imaginative ways. Take, for example, the Cheeseburger 2050: an ode to an American classic, this deconstructed dish features a tempting trio of elk tartare, tallow-caramelised onions and a velouté of Red Storm and mimolette cheeses. It's as well-crafted as it is witty, with bold flavours and satisfying portions ensuring you leave thoroughly content.
