Dining options at YVR after customs?
I will be arriving at YVR this week from the U.S. I will have some time to kill waiting to meet a friend who is coming in on a slightly later flight. Once I clear Canadian customs, will I have access to any bars/restaurants at the airport? I assume there will be nothing available to me before I clear customs.
Thanks for any help and advice.

Your're right that there will be no choice before you clear Canadian Customs; however, once you've cleared there are lots of options.
What time of day will you be there? Obviously late at night your choices will be more limited.

A popular choice for locals at YVR is "Milestones." It's a casual, sit-down place with good menu options. Prices are reasonable.

It's located in the domestic terminal, on the departures level - A 7-10 minute walk from Canada Customs.

FWIW, there is a bar as soon as you exit the customs hall. Not sure if it serves food.

Thanks everyone. Just had a very acceptable grilled salmon burger at KOHO, on my second bloody mary and enjoying the free wireless^
