We hold 1,712 venues in Vancouver — 1,638 places to eat and 74 to stay. That is more than anywhere else in British Columbia, and 12% of everything mapped across the region. Nationally it sits 3rd out of 6,205 places.

Of the places to eat, 24% are cafés against a national figure of 19%. Vancouver is 5 points more café-heavy than the country as a whole, which usually points to daytime and weekend trade rather than an evening dining scene. The full split is 400 cafés, 824 restaurants, 294 takeaways, 55 bars and 65 pubs.

1,066 of the 1,638 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are coffee shop (143), japanese (93) and pizza (87). Relative to the rest of the country Vancouver is unusually strong on cambodian, fusion and cantonese — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.

On the practical detail: 1,093 publish opening hours (64%), 275 are recorded as step-free, 294 have outdoor seating and 266 flag vegetarian options. Coverage here is better than the 21% national average, so the hours below are more reliable than most.

For a bed, Vancouver runs to 74 listings — 54 hotels, 2 motels, 12 b&bs and guest houses, 3 hostels and 3 serviced apartments. Hotels dominate, at 73% of the town's accommodation.

Places of a similar size — Ottawa (1,334) and Vaughan (1,187) — average 3% accommodation. Vancouver runs at 4%, much the same, so on this measure it behaves like its peers.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 386 of the 1,712 venues in Vancouver carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
