Aura Review
Creative Pacific Rim cuisine and the city's best waterfront patio make this chic eatery on the Inner Harbour's south shore a winner. Always using local ingredients, the seasonally-changing fare reveals Asian leanings: think poached B.C. salmon paired with barbecued eel and a Japanese rice-cabbage roll; buffalo short ribs braised with fennel and star anise and served with wild mushroom bread pudding; or free-range chicken with a wasabi pea crust. The wine cellar is full of hard-to-find Vancouver Island wines and Okanagan labels. Sleek lines, warm colors, and water-view windows create a room that's both stylish and cozy.
