In case you missed the big news, the Juno Awards are returning to Vancouver next year, and everyone’s favourite Metro Vancouverite, Michale Bublé, will be hosting the event.
So, ahead of the big day on March 30, 2025, at Rogers Arena, we thought it’d be a good time to reflect on all the great eats the singer-songwriter has recommended or been spotted dining at. And after compiling the list, we’ve come to realize that he’s been to some pretty great restaurants.
From celebrity chef-owned restaurants to a three-foot-long hot dog, here’s a list of some Bublé approved foodie spots in and around Vancouver.
Tojo’s shared an Instagram post showing Bublé smiling at the restaurant with head chef Hidekazu Tojo and the rest of the team.
“Always a pleasure when our friend @michaelbuble stops by! His visits are always a highlight,” the post reads.
The restaurant has been a leading establishment in Vancouver’s food scene, winning numerous awards and even having a documentary made about its head chef’s journey.
Address: 1133 W Broadway, Vancouver
Bublé shared a photo of him and his wife, actress and model Luisana Lopilato, dining at Blue Water Café.
In his social media post, Bublé thanked Francesco Aquilini, who owns the local eatery, through his investment company, Aquilini Group.
“Lu and I love your restaurant!” he said, also calling the spot a “must try when you’re in Vancouver.”
Address: 1095 Hamilton Street, Vancouver
Vikram Vij posted a video of Bublé and his wife visiting his restaurant with the caption, “Such an unforgettable moment serving the incredibly talented Michael Bublé and his lovely wife Luisana Lopilato at Vijs!”
This was just two days after a visit by none other than the royal couple, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who were visiting the city to attend a three-day event in preparation for next year’s Invictus Games.
Address: 3106 Cambie Street, Vancouver
Around the same time Bublé was photographed shopping at Burnaby’s Cioffi’s Meat Market & Deli, a popular spot for Italian goods, he also paid a visit to Port Coquitlam’s Orrange Kitchen + Bar.
The restaurant shared a photo of Bublé’s visit on its Instagram account, thanking him and his family for stopping by.
“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Thanks for joining us Michael Bublé, it was great seeing you and the family again,” the caption said.
Address: 1125 Nicola Avenue #111, Port Coquitlam
While this isn’t necessarily a Bublé spotting, the star did take the time to shout out multiple Vancouver eateries on Apple Maps, which included spots like Dynasty Seafood Restaurant, Cioppino’s Mediterranean Grill & Enoteca, and Joe Fortes Seafood & Chop House.
The famous singer also features the Granville Island Public Market as one of his top foodie picks in the city.

This three-foot-long hot dog is essentially a right of passage for any baseball fan, and Bublé said he had “no regrets” after devouring this massive handheld. During the game, he also surprised fans with a rendition of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.”
