There are so many good places to eat in Vancouver (it is a large Megalopolis offering anything you might wish) that sharing our modest experiences is like a drop into the ocean. However if you stay in Vancouver downtown for one-two nights and don't have much time to browse, this article might become handy.
India Bistro is located on famous Davie Street, downtown Vancouver. It has casual and relaxed atmosphere. The best time to come is between 11 AM and 3 PM to catch a buffet lunch offered every day for CA$13.99 per person. Drinks are not included in the deal.

Traditional Punjabi dishes include: pakoras, salads, soups, tandoori specials, vegetarian dishes, naan bread, rice dishes, seafood, lamb and chicken dishes.
The reason I recommend this place is that they managed to deliver consistently good food for 9 years we have been going to them.
Our absolute favorite dishes are: butter chicken, tandoori chicken, lamb palak. I never leave without Masala Chai Tea, as it is magical!

Da Poke Bowl Hawaiian BBQ was ​was incepted about 2,5 years ago by a local couple -Mark and his better half, whose love for Hawaiian food fueled their desire to open a first Hawaiian restaurant in Vernon, BC.
​
Traditionally Poke /poʊˈkeɪ/ (Hawaiian for "to slice" or "cut crosswise into pieces"; sometimes stylized Poké to aid pronunciation) is diced raw fish served as either an appetizer or as a main course and is one of the main dishes of Native Hawaiian cuisine.

To customize the Hawaiian cuisine experience for local customers, owners thought of a buffet style. Customers have a choice of raw fish, cooked beef, chicken or pork cooked in Teriyaki style sauce. The base dish comes out the kitchen with rice and customer adds sprouted beans, beets, carrots, pineapples, crunchy wasabi peas, crunchy nori, sesame seeds to taste. Buffet comes with choice of drinks included in price CA$14.99 per person. You can refill your bowl as many times as you wish, no limit. 

The restaurant relays a cheerful vibe thanks to warm wood interior and ample lighting.  
We had a delicious lunch and definitely will be back!

The restaurant located 2809 30 Street Vernon and open for lunch 11:45 to 2 PM, dinner 5 PM to 7 PM. 

What do you do at Sunset Ranch Golf &country club in December?
This is an excellent Christmas party place!

We had a Christmas party held there the other night and it was a remarkable experience. The floor plan is well thought, allowing people sit comfortably and others can walk by. Entrance decorated with Christmas lights, bows, Christmas tree.
The staff is very helpful and attentive. Our water glasses were refilled instantly, dirty dishes disappeared seamlessly, and bartender girls were quickly mixing up great Caesars.
The Chef cooked an excellent buffet style dinner: salads, vegetables, creamy mushed potatoes, stuffing, turkey, and roast beef with real homemade horseradish. The dessert table included butter tarts, cookies, chocolate roulade cake, rocky road squares, strawberries dipped in chocolate, cheesecake, chocolate brittle and boozy Christmas pudding.
We also had a great DJ who kept it up and positive. Perfect place for a party!
