Sushi may well be the unofficial official food of Vancouver, and few places serve it up with as much attention to detail and absolute class than the Lobby Lounge and RawBar at the Fairmont Pacific Rim. They've just launched a brand new Omakase Long Table sushi experience, and it is a pretty mind-blowing spread of epic proportions.
Designed to share, this daytime-only sushi feast is for groups of four or more people, and features a dazzling line-up of the RawBar's 100% OceanWise seafood selections.

Prepared under the creative direction of Sushi Chef Takayuki (Taka) Omi, the Omakase Long Table is served on a stunning sustainably crafted driftwood long board by Raven Timberworks in British Columbia, for dining at the restaurant's high-top tables only.
The $50 per person charge includes a beautiful bacon-studded miso soup, a chef's selection of maki, sashimi, and nigiri, and small-bite appetizers like spinach goma-ae, wakame salad, and fresh raw oysters. You can augment your order, too, so that you can get more tastes of the beautiful sushi from the RawBar.
Sushi fans will love the bright red Hawaiian tuna, the sweet and tender lobster, the delicate prawn nigiri, and the velvety iwashi (pacific sardine), among the many options at the sushi bar's disposal for putting together this chef's choice spread.
