Perched at the top of the Shangri-la Hotel's gorgeous bamboo garden is Ki, Vancouver’s newest luxe sushi spot.

And by luxe we mean super exotic sashimi like Matsu (butterfish), Aji (Japanese horse mackerel) and Tai (sea bream) ranging from $5-$17. On the playful modern side is the Spicy Avocado Roll ($10), a protein-less delight comprised of pineapple, tomato and chives, wrapped in cucumber instead of seaweed. When it comes to spirits, Ki sports a comprehensive saké list of different grades and styles. The luxurious food comes with ritzy surroundings: Ki’s opulent room and picturesque rooftop patio exudes decadence.

Now that's our kind of raw deal. —Anya Georgijevic
