Restaurant in Vancouver, Canada
Two Michelin Plates. Book three weeks out.
Suyo is Vancouver's most serious Peruvian kitchen, holding a Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025 with a 4.6 Google rating from over 700 reviews. At $$$$ pricing on Main Street, it earns the spend for food-focused diners — especially at dinner. Book at least three weeks ahead; availability is tight since Michelin recognition arrived.
Suyo is one of the strongest arguments for Peruvian cuisine in Vancouver, and two consecutive Michelin Plate recognitions (2024 and 2025) confirm it belongs in the city's top tier of destination dining. At a $$$$ price point on Main Street, the question isn't whether it's good — it is — but whether to go at lunch or dinner, and whether the format suits you. If you want the full Suyo experience, evening is the call. If you want the cooking without the full commitment, check whether a lunch service is available before you book. Either way, reserve well in advance: this room does not hold open tables.
Suyo sits on Main Street in Vancouver's Mount Pleasant neighbourhood, a corridor that has developed a serious dining reputation over the past decade. The address at 3475 Main puts it among independent operators rather than hotel restaurants or downtown flagships, and that positioning shapes everything about the experience: the room is focused, the cooking is the draw, and the atmosphere reflects a kitchen with something to prove.
Peruvian cuisine at this level draws on a wide technical range , ceviche, tiradito, causa, anticucho, and braised preparations that reflect Japanese, Chinese, Italian, and Spanish immigrant influences on the Peruvian table. This is not a simplified or fusion-light interpretation. The cuisine's complexity, which has made Lima one of the most discussed dining cities in the world over the past fifteen years, is what Suyo appears to be working from. For a food-focused traveller who has eaten at Peruvian restaurants elsewhere in North America or abroad, Suyo is worth benchmarking. For a first encounter with the format, it is a strong introduction.
The Michelin Plate, awarded in both 2024 and 2025, is a signal that the inspectors found consistent, good cooking here. A Plate is not a star , it does not indicate a transcendent or technically flawless experience , but it means Michelin considers the food worth a dedicated trip. In Vancouver's Michelin cohort, that places Suyo in credible company. Two consecutive awards suggest the kitchen has not coasted.
This is the practical question that matters most at Suyo's price tier. At $$$$ pricing, a full dinner service is a significant spend, and the decision about when to go should be deliberate. If Suyo offers a lunch service (confirm directly when booking, as hours are not published in available data), it typically represents the stronger value case at this price level: the same kitchen, the same address, and the same Michelin-recognised cooking at a lower per-head cost and with a shorter time commitment. Lunch formats at restaurants of this calibre also tend to be more approachable for solo diners and first-timers who want to assess the kitchen before committing to a full evening.
Dinner at Suyo, however, is where the experience is likely to be complete. Evening service at a $$$$ Peruvian restaurant in this mould typically brings a longer menu, more elaborate preparations, and the kind of unhurried pacing that justifies the spend. If you are visiting Vancouver specifically for the food , and this is a city worth visiting for food, with peers like Kissa Tanto ($$$$ · Fusion) and AnnaLena ($$$$ · Contemporary) nearby , then an evening at Suyo is the right format. For a food-focused itinerary that includes stops at Masayoshi ($$$$ · Japanese) or Barbara ($$$$ · Contemporary), Suyo fits well as an anchor dinner or a lunch to pace a multi-restaurant day.
For context against Canadian peers at a similar level: Alo in Toronto and Tanière³ in Quebec City both operate in the same Michelin-recognised tier and offer useful comparison points if you are calibrating expectations. Internationally, Le Bernardin in New York City and Lazy Bear in San Francisco represent what this price bracket can look like at the starred end of the spectrum. Suyo is not in that company by award , but a Michelin Plate two years running in a market as competitive as Vancouver is a meaningful credential.
Reserve at least three weeks out for a weekend dinner. Michelin recognition in Vancouver has tightened availability across the board at this tier, and Suyo's relatively compact footprint on Main Street means the room fills quickly after any press or award coverage. Weeknight tables are more available, but do not count on last-minute slots. No booking method is published in available data, so contact the restaurant directly or check through standard reservation platforms to confirm current availability and hours.

Contact the restaurant directly before booking. At a $$$$ Peruvian kitchen with Michelin recognition, the team should be equipped to discuss dietary needs in advance , but Peruvian cooking uses a wide range of proteins, shellfish, and dairy, so pre-notification is important rather than optional. Do not assume flexibility on the night.
Specific menu items are not confirmed in available data, so we won't invent dish names. What Peruvian cuisine at this level typically centres on: ceviche and tiradito preparations, causa, anticuchos, and braised mains drawing on the country's multicultural culinary heritage. Ask the team which dishes represent the kitchen's current focus , at a Michelin Plate restaurant, staff should be able to give a direct answer.
At $$$$ pricing with a 4.6 Google rating from over 700 reviews, Suyo is a credible solo dinner choice if the format suits you. Peruvian restaurants at this tier tend to have counter or smaller table options that work for one. Lunch (if available) is the lower-risk solo format , shorter commitment, lower spend. Confirm seating options when you book.
Unknown without confirmed seating data. At a Main Street independent with a focused room, large groups (six or more) may be difficult to accommodate, and private dining options are not confirmed. For a group dinner in Vancouver at $$$$ pricing, iDen & QuanJuDe Beijing Duck House ($$$$ · Chinese) is more reliably group-friendly by format. Contact Suyo directly to ask about table configuration before committing.
Two things: first, this is a serious Peruvian kitchen recognised by Michelin two years running, not a casual neighbourhood spot , the price and pacing reflect that. Second, the Main Street address is not in Vancouver's downtown core, so build in travel time if you're staying centrally. First-timers who want a reference point for what Peruvian fine dining looks like in Canada will find Suyo a useful benchmark. If you're new to the cuisine format, a lunch visit (if available) is the lower-stakes way to try the kitchen before a full dinner investment.
No dress code is confirmed in available data, but at a $$$$ Michelin Plate restaurant in Vancouver, smart casual is the safe call. Vancouver's dining culture is less formally dressed than Toronto or Montreal equivalents, but arriving underdressed at this price tier is noticeable. Business casual or a well-put-together casual outfit works. Leave the athleisure at the hotel.

Side-by-side comparison to help you decide where to book.
Peruvian kitchens typically work across a wide range of ingredients, but at $$$$ pricing with Michelin Plate recognition, it is reasonable to expect Suyo to accommodate common dietary needs with advance notice. Contact them directly before booking rather than flagging it on arrival — at this price tier, surprises in either direction are avoidable.
Specific menu items are not confirmed here, so ordering advice has to stay general — but at a Michelin Plate-recognised Peruvian restaurant, the proteins and ceviches are usually where kitchens show their range. Let the server know if you want to eat across as much of the menu as possible; at $$$$ in Vancouver, that is a reasonable ask and worth making explicit.
Main Street restaurants at this tier in Vancouver tend to have counter or bar seating that works well for solo diners, and a Michelin Plate venue is unlikely to leave you feeling underserved eating alone. At $$$$ per head, solo dining here is a considered spend — worthwhile if Peruvian cuisine is the draw, less so if you want a social format.
Groups of four or fewer are the safest fit for a $$$$ restaurant at 3475 Main St without confirmed private dining details. Larger parties should contact Suyo directly to check capacity; Michelin-recognised spots on Main Street are not typically set up for big tables, and assuming availability is a risk at this booking difficulty level.
Book at least three weeks out for weekend dinner — Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025 has made Vancouver's top tier harder to get into across the board. Arrive knowing you are spending at the $$$$ level, which in Vancouver's Mount Pleasant puts this firmly in special-occasion territory rather than a casual drop-in. It is the city's clearest case for Peruvian cuisine at this price point.
Dress codes are not confirmed in venue data, but a Michelin Plate restaurant at $$$$ on Vancouver's Main Street corridor sits in smart-casual territory by neighbourhood convention. Overdressing is harmless; arriving in activewear is a mismatch for the price point and the recognition level.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
