Overview
- The Michelin Guide published its 2026 Vancouver selections on Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2026, naming 72 restaurants and awarding stars to 11 venues.
- AnnaLena was promoted from one to two stars, becoming the first restaurant in Vancouver to receive a two‑star rating under chef Michael Robbins.
- The 2026 list is slightly smaller than last year’s and shows noticeable churn, with several restaurants dropped or demoted including Barbara losing its previous star.
- Two restaurants earned Bib Gourmand status this year—Kavita joined as a new Bib Gourmand and Chef’s Choice Seafood Restaurant was promoted into that category.
- Michelin also announced four individual awards for cocktails, sommelier, service and young chef, and the selections were made by anonymous inspectors in the guide’s fifth Vancouver edition.
