Earls Kitchen + Bar

Earls King West occupies a prominent corner at King and Portland, and the building is a big part of the appeal. Spread across three levels, it includes a lounge, a street-level patio and a rooftop solarium that looks out over the strip.

The menu is the Earls formula many Canadians know: globally inspired dishes, from rice bowls and burgers to steaks, plus a broad cocktail and wine list. With plenty of space, it handles large groups and after-work gatherings well, and the rooftop is a dependable choice when you want a view without the club scene.
