Harry Kambolis (born June 30, 1968) is a restaurateur who owns and operates three independent restaurants in Vancouver, Raincity Grill (est. 1992), C Restaurant (est. 1997) and Nu (est. 2005). Raincity Grill features Pacific Northwestern cuisine, and works with small lot, producers in BC. Most recently, Raincity Grill launched a 100 Mile Menu, sourcing products from within two hours of Vancouver. This has started a major trend in focusing on where foods come from.

C Restaurant opened in 1997 with a focus on seafood and by 1999 was working almost exclusively with sustainably managed BC seafood products. C introduced several BC seafood species to the market – either back from extinction or unfamiliar to the western market - such as geoduck, sablefish, pink salmon and more recently, BC abalone.

September 1, 2005 saw the opening of NU Restaurant + Lounge, a modern French bistro which embraces the sustainable philosophies of both Raincity and C.

Kambolis is credited with creating a trend in restaurant business management that has enabled farmers and fishermen alike to earn a living while still managing their stocks to the best of quality standards and environmental responsibility.
