    Mar 22, 2025 - Jun 20, 2025
    We are proud to introduce Green—our newest tasting menu. This menu is a celebration of renewal, capturing the energy of Spring as it awakens with new life. A menu inspired by the season’s vibrancy through a singular lens: the colour that defines life itself. Ingredients at their peak—fresh from the soil, the forest, and the ocean—bring bright, fresh to the table. Each dish reflects this moment of growth and abundance, shaping a menu that feels vibrant, alive, and deeply connected to its origins. As you move through the menu, you’ll experience a progression of flavors that highlight the ingredients we love most this time of year. Each course is a reflection of how these elements come together—connected by the landscapes they come from and the season that brings them to life.

    Absolutely beautiful evening at Published on Main. 10 course tasting menu was out of this world. You will be very full after, be prepared. Wine pairings were spot on as well.

    We had an incredible experience this past weekend. The food and service was exceptional. The staff was very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairings. They were able to help navigate the menu for dietary restrictions and helped put together a fantastic meal. One of our top culinary experiences in the Vancouver area. We will be back on future trips to the West Coast.

    A very special dining experience. A bit uncontrolled noise level is an obstacle to a complete satisfactory dining experience.

    We had a good dinner at Published. All the dishes were very tasty and creative except the sirloin steak. I think it was $75 for, at best, 4 ounces of sirloin steak. We found the steak to be very tough. I could barely cut through it with my steak knife. I was expecting the steak would be tender, melt in your mouth and be memorable. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. I'd recommend that the restaurant forego some profit margin and buy a better cut of meat so that the customer experience exceeds their expectation instead of leaving them feeling they could have "done better at home with a good steak from costco". Also, I've experienced and appreciated from other fine restaurants when the customers are escorted at the door and assisted with their jackets. It's a nice touch and I don't think too much to expect after spending $800 for a meal. This opinion was shared with ourselves and our 2 dinner guests.

    First time for tasting menu experience. Out of 10 courses, 3 dishes were considered a bit too salty for us. The menu was beautifully crafted but the taste needs more refined. Overall, a lovely dinner.
