Are you visiting soon, Ms PC? How exciting!
I can't really recommend anything in Downtown cuz it's expensive and generally speaking, I much prefer eating away from Downtown unless I really have to. Maybe go to Gastown (it's not too far from the Pan Pacific) and go to The Old Spagetti Factory. Avoid the Thai restaurant in Gastown, it's kinda dirty and yucky service. Under the Sinclair Building where the food court is located, you can get some decent French crepes. I enjoyed the plain butter one.
Take a ferry across to Lonsdale Quay and snack on some good fish and chips there.
