    Lobster bisque with a Cubano sandwich.
    Tim J.

    Cosy and comfortable. Exactly what you need for a quiet night out of the rain. Has an old-style pub/ski chalet vibe to it which is warm and inviting. The self-description of "food for comfort" is on point. Been here a few times and it's suitably satisfying. Service has always been good. Lobster bisque (4/5) - been on a bisque run recently so wanted to try it. Very satisfying but not top-tier. It's a small portion so you may want to supplement it with a sandwich or grilled cheese. The Cubano (4/5) - good amount of pulled pork, all the right flavours. Lovely ciabatta. A solid sandwich. It's a fun menu to explore - not many places quite like it. Will be back on another cold and rainy night.

    Mushroom Medley + Bistro Salad with added pulled chicken
    Maggie H.

    Burgoo is pure comfort food. We love coming here, it's always cozy and hits the spot every time. Highly recommend the soup and salad combo. I usually add chicken to the salad and it's the perfect amount for a full dinner. Super satisfying without being too heavy. The French onion soup is also amazing if you're in the mood for something rich and hearty! It's also fairly affordable (which is rare these days!) We always leave full and happy.

    It was yet another rainy day in Vancouver and I was seeking pure comfort food so decided to go to Burgoo. I'm so glad I made that decision because I left feeling cozy and warm on the inside (might have been all that cheese). For drinks we got their fresh mango cooler and aperol spritz. Both were good! The mango cooler was non-alcoholic but very refreshing! For appetizers we were torn between their fonduementale and brie fondue but decided to go for the first one. It came with cubes of apple, grapes, crouton, and tomatoes. All those went so well with their gooey cheese! For main course I got their french onion soup and gooey cheese grills. I was in heaven! Their french onion soup is one of the best I've had, towards the end I was left with a blob of cheese and some soup. The portion was so big! Their gooey cheese grills came with a side of tomato soup, it was the epitome of comfort food. Never had grilled cheese like that before! There's a reason Burgoo is considered the best for comfort food in Vancouver.. 5/5

    Mushroom soup, kale salad

    Cute, cabin restaurant with flavorful variety of food. Their salads are packed with vegetables and delicious dressings! The butter chicken was a very generous portion and tasted close to authentic.

    Really filling and really delicious! I also tried the mac and cheese and was also pretty good. Service was nice and the ambiance of the restaurant is cute. I always suggest burgoo to friends and people I know travelling here! Went at lunch time and was not busy at all or forgotten about by our waitress.

    Gooey Cheese Grillers with a kale Caesar salad

    My friend and I went to Burgoo during happy hour. The staff were super friendly! The starters were buy one, get one free--we got the garlic shrimp and pierogies. Both tasted great, but the garlic shrimp really stood out. I LOVED it! For the main dish, I ordered the Gooey Cheese Grillers with a kale Caesar salad. The baguettes were loaded with cheese. They were not bad but I might try something else next time. The salad, though, was so good! The kale and Caesar combo worked really well together. We also ordered the strawberry lemonade, which tasted super fresh. I'd definitely order it again!

    We had my friends surprise bday brunch here and they were so accommodating. It got really busy though so they had to kick us out. I feel bad we stayed for so long and were loud. The waitress was very attentive. The food was good. The options were not many but decent enough so you don't have to think too hard too early in the morning.

    Burgoo - Mount Pleasant location 3096 Main St, Vancouver 604-873-1441 https://www.burgoo.ca/ Went there for a late lunch with my daughter, we happened to be there 20 mins before their happy hour start (3-5pm) We decided to have a Parmesan Chicken burger & tomato soup to share. The burger was tasty with lots of pesto & arugula on it. The soup was very good. For happy hour, we ordered the fondue (20% off during happy hour). They also had a happy hour menu, we had the jalapeño popcorn chicken- nicely breaded & crispy. It has a very slight kick to it not spicy at all. Service was awesome, she was very friendly, attentive & such a cheery disposition. Loved the decor, so warm. Do check it out, street parking available.

    Lavender Lemonade

    My wife, son, in-laws and I came here for dinner tonight after our AirBNB host left a note containg their favorite spots around town. After checking out the menu, we decided to come and we are glad we did. Kirk was very friendly and welcoming. He found us a booth in the back and brought us a high chair for our son. They also had a family restroom with a changing table that fathers can use. This is a big thing for me now that I am a dad. The drinks were refreshing. I had the Lavendar Lemonade and my wife went for the pineapple guava soda. We also ordered the Cheese Fondue with Bread, Apples, Grapes and Tomatoes. Our son enoyed watching us dip the ingredients in the fondue and eating the pieces with us. I needed some greens to help me absorb some of the comfort food . Kirk was able to get me a Side Caesar Salad. For my main dish I went with the Ratatouille and asked that Chicken be added. Delicious food indeed!

    Tomato soup and FAB salad (soup/salad combo)
    Kathy H.

    Really cute/homey interior. We asked for the patio because we were a little warm from our walk down Main St. The patio was blasting hot from the heaters but the staff turned it off for us. We had the honeycomb pale ale, corn ribs, and a tomato soup/ FAB salad. The corn ribs have a tasty batter that had me actually gnawing on the "rib". The tomato soup was super tasty, not too creamy or cheesy like other places. The FAB salad is a greens with bacon, red onion, and apple in a vinaigrette. Very light and delicious. We will have to come back to try their entrées! Service was excellent for a Saturday brunch time.

    A heap of French bread! Delicious!
    Trude H.

    Enjoying a French Onion soup, highly recommended by my neighbour. Burgoo today is bustling! The opaque brown broth is rich and well-seasoned. Properly chewy cheese topping a very substantial stack of bread makes this a stand alone lunch. Cosy and warm atmosphere. Will return to sample other mains. Lots of local beer. Corner of 15th and Main, long time location. East street parking and transit.

    Burgoo! Food for comfort I really like the vibes of this restaurant! It's a bit fancy looking and quite cosy. I got a sandwich, the tasty chicken. I like that it came with hard bite chips and coleslaw, interesting sides. I liked the chips more than coleslaw though. The tasty chicken has bacon, onion jam, Brie, apple and Dijon mayo for $16.5 I liked the bacon and the apple gave it a nice crunch. We also got a big bowl soup served with herb buttered baguette (wish there was more baguette to dip into the soup, only one piece of bread ) we got straight up tomato vine ripened tomatoe, garlic , red wine, olive oil for $10 it's quite fancy soup, although oily, it's quite flavourful and thick. I really liked the consistency and warms you up! Just need more things to dip with the soup is my only suggestion.

    I use to love coming to this Main Street location, but it's been more and more disappointing the…read morerecent visits. I've been here 3 times in the past two weeks. Each time, service was super slow, some staff are not well trained on how to greet customers or talk to customers, and I got green onions every time I asked for no green onions (I never gave it back though). I know it's not a big deal if you forget once or twice, but it's been like this every single time. I can easily pick it out, but if you have the option for customers not to put it in, then I do feel it's a slight problem if you constantly forget. The portions have been getting smaller and small every time. Overall, not as impressed as I used to be. I dont think it's the employees problems though, the boss is just under hiring for rush hour time! (Even during non rush hour their service is kind of slow..). They have people running around but half the tables are empty and not clean. They don't have enough employees hence everyone has to wait for a long time. Hoping to see some improvements in the near future.

The milkshakes are LARGE and super customizable (including boozy shakes). The freshest veggie burger I genuinely ever had was here, served with a smile and a silly 80s soundtrack. The side salad that came with it, usually phoned in at a diner, was assorted greens with cucumber and tomatoes and chickpeas, with a nice honey mustard dressing. These little touches really make for a nice experience, and help the prices make sense - you really do get what you pay for. I've split a slice of pie and feasted on one of their stack of chocolate chip cookies. Yum. I've even come in for just a bowl of delicious tomato soup, served with soft sourdough. Unlike chain diners in the area, this is one of a kind. If you're into equal parts quality, friendliness and nostalgia, definitely give it a try!

    Went to Lucys for the nostalgia and late night eats; it was my GO TO waaaaay back when it opened…read more I was craving a BLT post movie. I ordered it with a side of poutine. We peaked in and there was 2 ppl working and nearly empty restaurant didnt bode well. My partner ordered a grilled cheese. The cheese wasnt melted atoll. My order arrived bacon was cooked well. But just one sad piece of lettuce, one single slice of tomato. Nothing tasted fresh. The proportions were so off; like an entire avocado? But barely and lettuce or tomato.... and the sourdough just tasted like bad white bread. Quality definitely went downhill. Literally everything but avocado was to little. The cheese in poutine was cold :( . Not melted. Wtf Subtracting from the experience : The staff working was nervous and softspoken. Which is completely fine. But he genuinely seemed like he didnt want to be there. Perhaps he was overwhelmed or it was his first day working solo. The next patrons tried to ask what his favourite thing in menu was and he wouldn't answer. Felt bad for the kid. The place was clean. The decor is still cute. Definitely our farewell meal there. Sad to say its no longer a fave for us. I have so many GREAT memories there.

This is a vegetarian restaurant and we had the ten course tasting menu ( which sounds like a lot but most dishes are 3-4 bites).

The service was also very attentive, including explaining in detail what each dish was when it was served. Delightful. This is a once in a lifetime experience.

So to say I was extremely excited is an understatement. We ordered the Sourdough (with House Cultured Butter, Vancouver Island Sea Salt) Shiitake (with Soy Braised Squash, Kelp, Ginger,Lemongrass) Cabbage with Brown Butter and Pomme Dauphinois Harvest which was house made ravioli stuffed with chicken of the woods. For dessert the Plum with Fig Leaf, Miso Honeycomb and Thai Basil Sourdough was good. No arguments there. The shiitake was fine, palatable. The cabbage and potato were very bland and made me question why the Acorn is so hyped. It was so bland i didn't finish it. Keep in mind SERVING SIZES ARE TINY. The ravioli were practically inedible the chicken of the woods was beyond overly salted and the pasta wasn't cooked. We joked that al dente was at least touching water. This pasta has never heard of water. Easily one of if not THE WORST PASTA I've ever had at a restaurant in the past few years. Thank goodness the plum dessert was yummy. Very good. But truly I don't understand why people rave about The Acorn. I love food. Im a vegetarian but it's hard to comprehend why it's so hyped. Maybe there was a new cook? Maybe it was an off night? Crossed off my Vancouver bucket list. It took me a while to write this review because I frankly was in shock the contrast between the actual food vs the lore it has around town. The highlights were a basic sourdough and a well balanced dessert. That just feels so wrong.
