The hospitable staff at Raw Canvas challenges the concept of the starving artist with a menu of tapas and desserts that recharge brainpower for creative endeavours. Like a bust of Andy Warhol carved out of butter, Raw Canvas merges the worlds of art and cuisine with a painting pit where colourful brushstrokes flow freely and a dining area for munching on fine sausages and alpine cheeses. The restaurant-studio prides itself on its eco-friendly approach to both visual expression and bodily nourishment, stocking up on paints made on Granville Island and culinary ingredients culled from local family farms. Guests sip craft beers and complex wines as they marvel at Raw Canvas's gallery of original paintings by local artists, or admire the patron-conceived masterpieces that adorn the walls of the painting pit.

A raw bar packed with ice, oysters, and crab greets diners when they enter Cork & Fin, offering a glimpse at a menu of refined seafood and contemporary cuisine that Zagat rated "very good to excellent." In addition to spotlighting seafood by creating towers of oysters on the half shell, dungeness crab legs, and albacore tuna tartare, the chefs demonstrate their culinary skills by introducing new flavours. Saffron aioli adds a distinctive, Mediterranean spark to seafood fritters, barbecued mackerel arrives with the restrained zest of a beetroot vinaigrette, and wild mushrooms lend a savoury decadence to six-ounce cuts of grilled sirloin.

This commitment to simple yet refined cuisine complements the split-level dining area's clean, minimalist decor. Exposed brick walls supply a rustic vibe that acknowledges the building's historic Gastown roots, but the room also features modern accents, including track lighting and an electron microscope. Bordered by a stately white banister, the mezzanine level presents guests with a semiprivate dining option for parties or special events.

Mis Trucos maximizes flavour with minimal portions, serving up Mediterranean tapas and small plates made from fresh, quality ingredients. Chef Kris Barnholden harnesses classic French, Spanish, and Italian influences for his culinary creations, adding a modern spin to traditional tastes. Highlights of the tapas menu include crispy bread-wrapped wild gulf prawns and alioli ($2.50 each) and flatbread topped with chorizo and anchovy ($4 each). Main dishes include a lamb ragu and gnocchi ($18) and the restaurant's most popular dish—the white-truffle and lobster risotto ($16)—which is said to possess the power to realign planetary orbits in a single spoonful. Mis Trucos' selection of wine and craft cocktails has the ability for similar super-satisfaction—a pitcher of the house sangria ($15) refreshes the body like a summer sun shower with the ability to get you tipsy.

The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver is chock-full of cheer during the month of December, with a slew of holiday meals and activities planned.

All the trimmings are included, such as chestnut and sage dressing, a root vegetable medley, garlic mashed potatoes, turkey gravy, and cranberry relish, as well as rolls and butter. You’ll also get a freshly made dessert. Meals can be fetched and escorted home on December 24 or 25, and must be ordered at least five days in advance.
