The 2017 American Lighting Association Conference is less than two weeks away, and as attendees already know, Monday (September 12) is a free night. That means it'll be time to hit the town and sample the flavors of Vancouver. 

Looking for a good recommendation? Here are five Vancouver restaurants you won't want to miss.

Forage

If you really want to eat like a local, make a reservation at Forage, the hip farm-to-table restaurant just blocks from the Hyatt Regency. The restaurant sources all of its food from British Columbia and strives to achieve "zero waste efforts, reduction of energy consumption and support of our local communities." Split a plate of oysters or indulge in the fresh halibut and tuna.

Cardero's Restaurant

It would be a crime not to mention a great restaurant right on the waterfront, so if you plan to venture farther out from the hotel, check out Cardero's. While seafood lovers will feel right at home with the restaurant's squid, tuna and scallop dishes, Cardero's also serves up burgers made with grass-fed beef, lamp chops and pizza. Don't forget to save room for dessert!

Le Crocodile

Bringing a spouse to the conference? If you and your significant other are planning a romantic dinner on Monday night, consider Le Crocodile, Vancouver's authentic French restaurant. While more expensive than other restaurants on this list, Le Crocodile truly creates an experience for guests with its service and its amazing dishes.

Kissa Tanto

A rare combination of Japanese flavors and Italian cooking, Kissa Tanto takes inspiration from the Japanese jazz cafes that dotted Tokyo in the 1960s. Guests can enjoy unique pasta plates and chicken, rib eye and duck dishes that artfully combine two different styles of taste and cooking. This intimate setting is best for groups of four or less.
