Ask most people in Vancouver about eating at a casino, and they’ll probably just shrug. But look a little closer, and you’ll find something surprising: a few casino restaurants are actually pretty popular. We found seven casino restaurants in Vancouver that are better than you’d expect and worth a visit on their own.
1. The Victor, Parq Vancouver
Let’s start with the one you’ve probably seen on Instagram – The Victor. It’s on the rooftop of Parq Vancouver, next to BC Place. The dining room faces the city skyline, which makes it an easy pick if you’re trying to impress someone or just want a view while you eat.
This is a steak and seafood spot, and they don’t cut corners. The prime ribeye is aged for 28 days. The seafood tower comes stacked with crab legs, oysters, and tuna, and it’s definitely built to share. Sundays are for brunch. It’s a full sit-down affair with dishes like crab cake benedict and lemon ricotta pancakes.
Prices reflect the atmosphere. Expect to spend around C$70–$100 per person, especially if you’re ordering wine or dessert. It’s not over-the-top fine dining, but it’s polished. And the staff? They don’t hover, but they know when to check-in. It’s the kind of place where people linger after dinner.

2. Gordon Ramsay Burger, Great Canadian Casino Vancouver
Not every celebrity chef venture lives up to the hype, but Gordon Ramsay Burger makes a decent case for itself. Located inside the Great Canadian Casino Vancouver in Coquitlam, this spot isn’t trying to reinvent burgers, it’s just trying to do them right.
The Truffle Burger is one of the bestsellers: juicy beef, just the right amount of sauce, and a soft, slightly toasted bun. You’ll also find hand-spun shakes (yes, they’re actually thick), seasoned fries, and a few lighter options if you’re not feeling too hungry. The space is clean, well-lit, and you don’t need to be a gambler to get in. It’s open to all ages.
It’s a casual place, and you won’t be the only one in jeans. That said, it’s still priced above your usual burger chain – around C$20–25 for a burger, fries, and drink.

3. Honey Salt, Parq Vancouver
This one’s for those who like comfort food done properly. Honey Salt, tucked inside Parq Vancouver near the hotel entrance, serves a mix of farm-style dishes with a West Coast touch.
The brunch menu is what draws most locals: avocado toast, eggs benny, and crispy potatoes with just enough spice. Lunch and dinner go a bit heavier, with options like roasted chicken, wild salmon, and truffle mac and cheese. The menu changes slightly with the season, which helps if you’re a repeat guest.
It’s a flexible space. You’ll see business folks on weekdays, families on weekends, and the odd solo diner with a book and a coffee. It never feels rushed. If you’ve got time to spare before a show or a game, it’s a good place to land.

4. Sea Harbour, River Rock Casino Resort
Sea Harbour is known mostly for its dim sum, and for good reason. Located inside the River Rock Casino in Richmond, this restaurant leans heavily into classic Cantonese seafood dishes, and it doesn’t try to modernize them for the sake of style.
Expect the basics done well: har gow, siu mai, BBQ pork buns, and deep-fried shrimp rolls. Dinner service steps it up with lobster, steamed fish, and other family-style plates. It’s the kind of place where dishes hit the table fast and hot, which regulars appreciate.
The room is large but not noisy, and it fills up quickly on weekends. Dim sum is best around noon, but the kitchen runs until late, especially on casino nights.

5. Jerome’s, Hastings Racecourse
Jerome’s isn’t trying to impress with flair. It’s a no-fuss spot for a burger and a beer while watching the horses or waiting for a bet to land. Located inside the Hastings Racecourse building, it faces the track, which gives it a bit of charm you won’t get at most casino venues.
The menu is basic but reliable: club sandwiches, onion rings, breakfast platters, and burgers. Most meals come in under C$20. You’ll order at the counter, find a seat, and get your food brought to you without delay. The crowd is usually casual racegoers or locals grabbing lunch.
It’s only open when the track is, so don’t count on dropping by late or midweek unless there’s a race or simulcast.

6. BC Kitchen, Parq Vancouver
If you want to eat without missing the game, BC Kitchen is your best bet. Located inside Parq’s casino level, this is a modern sports bar with more than enough screens to keep track of what’s happening.
The food leans toward upgraded bar classics: smash burgers, tacos, Korean fried chicken, and a rotating beer list with several B.C. craft labels. You won’t find anything too experimental, but that’s part of the point. It’s dependable, filling, and quick, especially on game nights or if there’s a concert at BC Place.
Staff keep things moving, and the layout works well for both small groups and solo diners. It’s a solid option if you want to grab a bite without leaving the casino floor.

7. Gordon Ramsay Steak, River Rock
This is the kind of restaurant you plan for. Gordon Ramsay Steak at River Rock is more formal than its burger counterpart, with white tablecloths, aged cuts, and signature dishes pulled straight from Ramsay’s other high-end venues.
The Beef Wellington is a standout: rich, flaky, and cooked as it should be. Steaks come in a few styles, including Japanese A5 (if you’re ready to splurge). Sides are à la carte, and the wine list is long, with helpful staff who actually know what to suggest.
It’s not cheap, and it’s not trying to be. But if you’re celebrating or just want to see what Ramsay’s team can do at the high end, it delivers.

Tips Before You Go
- Make a reservation: The Victor and Gordon Ramsay Steak can book out, especially on weekends or game nights. If you’re planning dinner around a show, lock in a table ahead.
- Watch the schedule: Jerome’s at Hastings Racecourse doesn’t open every day. It follows the race and simulcast calendar, so check the site before heading over.
- Late eats are easy: Most of the casino restaurants stay open later than standard dinner hours – handy if you’re eating after an event or playing late.
- Ask the staff: At places like Honey Salt or BC Kitchen, the servers are usually happy to steer you toward what’s popular that day. “We often ask for their top 3, it saves time and rarely disappoints,” says our editor.
“You don’t need to play a single hand to enjoy a good meal at a Vancouver casino. These restaurants stand on their own, some are quick and casual, others feel like a full night out. If you’re nearby or just curious, they’re worth checking out for the food alone.”
