The Acorn, a MICHELIN Recommended and award-winning restaurant, brings a fresh, modern approach to vegetable-forward dining in the heart of Vancouver’s Main Street. Known for its creative, locavore-driven menu, The Acorn delivers an unforgettable dining experience using locally sourced, peak-season ingredients. With options for vegans, vegetarians, and gluten-free diners, even the most dedicated carnivores leave satisfied.

Our commitment to sustainability runs deep. In our zero-waste kitchen and bar, every part of the ingredient shines—from the skins and stems to pits and peels—transformed into inventive dishes and drinks. We’re proud of our close relationships with local organic farmers, foragers, winemakers, and distillers, ensuring that 99% of what you enjoy on the plate (and sometimes the plate itself!) is grown, harvested, or crafted right here in BC and Western Canada. Signature cocktails shine while local wines showcase the harmony of Terroir to plate.

    My friends and I had a wonderful evening and enjoyed the tasting menu. The staff was very accommodating with GF and vegan options. Food was very flavourful and plentiful. The service was very good, and I liked that there were different servers for each of the small plates. Highly recommend.

    Acorn is the best vegetarian restaurant I've ever been to. All their menus are great and their waffles with fried oyster mushrooms are absolutely outstanding. Their sauce game is on a whole different level; unique and incredibly refined.

    The food was exquisite and the staff wonderful. While it’s difficult to get a reservation, it’s well worth the wait until you can get a spot. I highly recommend this restaurant. It’s a must-do if you are visiting the city.

    This restaurant is truly world class, and yet uniquely Vancouver in its beautiful philosophy and emphasis on land and farmers. We bring all our friends here and always put ourselves in the chef's hands for the tasting menu. We never leave hungry, as is the case with some fine dining, and always feel inspired and amazed at the level of taste and creativity they manage to create every time. All this while managing to maintain a zero waste kitchen. Even their brunch wowed us and remains a favourite dining memory. (It's a good option if you're on a budget, but would still like to experience their culinary magic.) We're so lucky to have this restaurant in our little city. Don't hesitate to try them.
