Vancouver BC: Christmas Day restaurants?

Question

I'm not sure if this is QUITE the kind of question to ask here, but here goes...

Does anyone know of any restaurants that will be open on Christmas Day, in the Greater Vancouver area (in the city would be best)? Family restaurants are good, hotel restaurants, not so good :) Anything else is good, too.

I live waaaaaaay in the burbs and my elderly friends are too afraid to drive out here (can't blame them, we have VERY bad drivers in Vanc) and it will be dark by supper time.

We think a restaurant is a good alternative, but I don't want to have to call every place in the Yellow Pages.

Thanks!!

Linda :)

Answer 1

A few in Gastown or china town Call the old spagetti factory  Dennys

Answer 2

Typically, Chinese and other ethnic restaurants are the only ones open during Christmas.  I don't know which suburb you live in but I would recommend Samosa Garden for Indian in Burnaby.  Also, traffic is not bad on Christmas day.

Answer 3

take the sky train down town, also Denny's is always open.

Answer 4

Don't know if its any help, but all the chinese restaurants are open on christmas day in Vancouver

Answer 5

hi that really depends on what type of food you like

but there is a great greek place in commercial drive, i think its called Bouzyos but i dont remember...its small and quaint

theres also lombardos or marcellos, both on commercial, they are italian and have great pizza!

most restaurants downtown are open on christmas day, such as down on robson or granville

sorry i cant think of any others right now but hopefully you will be able to get some ideas

Answer 6

The only one I know of is the Guildford Sheradon but you said that you don't want hotels.  Maybe the ethnic restaurants would be open - why don't you open the phone book and phone around?  I think that is the only way you are going to know and ask the first one if they say no to recommend somewhere.

Answer 7

Go to the Delta hotel,
