    My favourite go-to spot for lunch. This Thursday the food and service were excellent as usual! Also find the food and libations to be great value - not overly expensive. Highly recommend!!

    Great food and service. Because of the acoustics, when there’s large groups it can get extremely loud where you can’t hear what your dinner companion is saying. Great Dine Out menu.

    This restaurant is a hidden gem located in the Vancouver Art Gallery - have eaten here a few times now and never more than one or two other tables occupied. The vegan options are excellent - on my last visit i particularly enjoyed the mushroom risotto which was cooked perfectly. the wait staff are friendly and efficient, not a long wait for food (unsurprising really) and although the prices seem on the high side, the care taken and the quality of ingredients more than justifies paying a bit extra.

    The salmon burger and the soup were incredible. And the sesame tart was a work of art!

    Turkey roulade was overcooked; brussels sprouts were raw. Food was served lukewarm. Very disappointing. Planned to take guests to Bistro 1931 on Saturday, but now opting for a different resto
