I think the atmosphere and the drinks were really nice! However, I believe most of the dishes are overpriced for their taste and portion sizes. I was particularly disappointed with the oysters and the steak. The oysters were quite small, and I would rather order them somewhere else. The steak was well seasoned but was served at room temperature. I don't think I would come back for dinner, but I might return for a few drinks and some light bites at the bar. read more

We came here for a birthday celebration and what a superb venue it is. The service is excellent and they accommodated us with a special prix fixe menu which basically let us sample much of the menu. There are so many good dishes. We had a couple appetizers, veggies, salads, mains, and desserts, all for sharing. Here are the highlights: - the June brioche and its honey butter was amazing bread. They serve it together with the pasta for Rachel whose flavours were sublime and in its unique shape. The brioche goes well with the pasta sauce. - truffled eggs were really good - crab dip with spiced madeleines was so unique and really good. - hamachi crudo was sublime. Flavours so so good. - roasted scallop was one of the highlights. The crunchy top combined with roasted flavour and the sauce it comes in - just so so good. - crispy eggplant I liked. Especially served with tomato puree. - the seared trout was really tender and the veggies it comes with complement excellently - the ribeye was amazing - the beignets and that chocolate mousse were fine. Actually the mousse was so light and good - and I hate chocolate! The only things I thought were just ok were the croquettes and the trout rilette. Highly highly recommended for all occasions especially special ones. read more

We were a table of 4. My friend and my birthday are so close together that we both decided to come here as a celebration for our birthday. We started off with some drinks. I got the mocktail Spicy Daisy $14 and B got the Mermaid Purse $19. The Spicy Daisy was very delicious and had a nice kick of ginger flavor. B said his Mermaid purse was good but not worth $19 good. It tasted like a regular cocktail. For food I ordered the beef tartare $22 to share with B. The beef tartare was delicious. What B and I liked the most was the chips that went with the beef tartare. The chips tasted like it was made in-house. The portion size of the beef tartare was pretty good. For entrée, I got the seared trout $34 and B got the Bavette (6oz) $52. The seared trout came with greens and the greens were amazing. The greens had more flavor than the trout. The seared trout itself was not. The Bavette was amazing. The sauce was very very delicious. The wagyu was cooked to perfection. It came with fries and the fries were very tasty. Out of all the items, I say the Bavette was a must try item. B then finished it off with the Beach Radler $8. The beer here are average price of anywhere else. Because my friend and I are celebrating our birthday here, we each got a Rhubarb Tart. I really enjoyed the tart. It wasn't anything special but it was definitely a nice treat. The entire bill for Brandon and I came to $160 before tips. The food was amazing here. I highly recommend trying. The atmosphere was gorgeous and cozy. The place is very small and getting a reservation was not easy. The place was super packed when we arrived at 6:30 pm. I do know the restaurant opens quite late and I am guessing the later you arrive the higher the chance of getting a table for the day. If you want to come here for dinner than a reservation is required. Also you do have to put down a deposit for the reservation online. read more

Went to June on Cambie to celebrate my partner's birthday. The food was exceptional and our favourite dish was the scallops! The atmosphere was very lovely and cozy, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely come back to try the other items on the menu! read more

A great spot for celebrating special occasions! My friend and I planned a visit for my birthday, just before June went on to win a bunch of industry awards (listed in North America's 50 Best Bars, Canada's 100 Best Restaurants, etc.), so you'll definitely want to make a reservation. The bright exterior is a stark contrast to the moodiness inside. It's dark, but still very warm and inviting. Service is prompt, and the food and drink is on point. First, I tried the Chura Sour - a refreshing mix of shiso shochu, gin, sake, yuzu kosho, citrus, passionfruit, and egg white. Later, to go with the main course and dessert, I was sold on the Mushroom Old Fashioned and it did not disappoint! Reifel rye whiskey, mushroom amaro, cacao, Islay mist, and a cute mushroom-shaped chocolate wedged into the ice cube! Very satisfying. The food is made to share. For dinner for 2, around 4-6 dishes were recommended. While everything was good overall, it was clear to me which were standouts vs. just decent. Spot prawn salad (special) - I liked having the dressing on the side so you could control the amount you wanted. I feel bad for forgetting the type of dressing, but it was creamy and had a bit of a kick to it. That being said, the succulent spot prawns were the star, as they should be! Hamachi crudo - the fish was top quality! So fresh and buttery! Thinly shaved radishes offered a slightly peppery counterpoint, and the elderflower ponzu brought it all together. Beef tartare - peppered egg yolk, crispy shallot, potato chips - good that it's all mixed for you, but I wonder if there was too much yolk or not enough salt or both, because this tartare just didn't blow me away with flavour. Pasta for Rachel - beurre d'Isigny, comté, pepper - very indulgent! I can appreciate the high quality, imported French butter, but was it worth $40? I don't think so... Chocolate - milk chocolate mousse, hazelnut, Frangelico - lighter than it looks, and that's a good thing! Loved the crunchy layer underneath the mousse. Would like to make a return trip, more so for the cocktails than anything else. read more

We were a table of 5 and they recommended that we choose at least 10 dishes to share. I generally really enjoyed our experience at June, but there were a few dishes that were disappointing. I loved the scallops. They were perfectly cooked. The sauce that it came with was so delicious that I literally drank it all up. It would have been perfect if they made a soup version of it. The Hamachi Crudo was also delicious. It was very fresh and tasty. The Frog Legs were surprisingly really good. They were deep fried and tossed in what I would consider to be a sweet chili sauce. The Beef Tartare and the Striploin didn't have much flavor. We upgraded the fries that came with the Striploin to truffle fries for $20. The additional $20 was a bit ridiculous, but it was nice to try. They had tons of truffle in the dip. The Trout Rilette surprised me by how good it was. It was packed with flavor and was slightly smoky. I enjoyed the Crispy Eggplant, although it was on the smaller side. It got soggy quickly, so I recommend eating it quickly. The Brussel Sprout Salade was served slightly warm. I liked the slight acidity of the dish. The Mussels were unique. The petite fries were slightly spicy. The sauce was good but could have used a touch more flavor. The Pasta for Rachel was disappointing. It didn't have much flavor. However, we really liked the Butternut squash and truffle ravioli. It was slightly sweet. I would have much preferred a double portion of this, instead of getting the Pasta for Rachel. The customer service was really great. The staff checked up on us and took the time to explain their menu. I found the restaurant to be a bit too dark for my preferences, but it was still acceptable. 4.5 stars read more

The ambience in this place is so goood, it is definetely worth waiting to sit inside as opposed to patio. The food is great, particularly the mussels and scallops, as the sauces and toppings complement very well. Don't skip the chocolate mousse dessert either! read more

My friends took me here for my birthday and we had a nice evening. Reservations are recommended as the place was packed on a Tuesday. We sat at the bar and enjoyed chatting with Taku and watching him prepare drinks. They have an impressive cocktail list. The bar stools didn't have a backrest so it was a bit uncomfortable after awhile, I would've preferred sitting at a table. We started off with the June brioche and it was pillowy soft. Foie gras was their feature of the evening and although it was delicious, we were told it was cooked, but it was prepared as a cold dish. The crispy eggplant with tomato base was tasty. The mussels were incredibly fresh, topped with petite frites. Pasta for Rachel is named after the chef's wife and it was rich and addicting with potato filling. The only dish I didn't care for was the Fraser Valley chicken as it was a bit dry. I normally don't care for chocolate mousse but really enjoyed this one. They even added a candle for my birthday and gave me a mini ice cream cone. read more

I was very pleasantly surprised at how good this place was! For 2 of us, we ordered the crab dip and frog legs from small plates and the pasta for Rachel and mussels from larges plates and everything was delicious. I was especially impressed by the mussels and a very close second was the pasta. Everything was incredibly flavourful and had just the right amount of texture. The sauces were paired so well with the dish and felt really balanced overall. Service was friendly and they gave us lots of great suggestions while explaining the food really well. It was a bit too loud for my liking and slightly hard to hear the person in front of me. Prices are on the high end. Without drinks, our bill came to $130 before tips for the 4 dishes. It's clear that there's a lot of attention on the details of the dish so I'd definitely recommend going for a special occasion. read more

Excellent food, but service left us hanging. We wanted to try June to celebrate my birthday. When we arrived, we were unpleasantly surprised to find out that there are actually two restaurants. Instead of the full menu restaurant upstairs, we were led downstairs to the Lala which is a lounge with a limited menu. It is confusing for first time diner to understand the difference between the two restaurants. Apparently this was explained in the reservation confirmation email, but the hostess and server shouldn't count on customer reading the email and instead try to explain what's happening. read more

We were excited to get a reservation as it's so hard to get one! The cocktails were amazing, we tried a few different ones and loved them all. The food was hit and miss. I absolutely loved the mussels and the sauce complemented the mussels so well I wanted to drink it! I really liked the beef carpaccio with the chips but my boyfriend thought it was too salty. Their famous dish, Rachel's pasta was wayyyyy too oily/buttery (as you can see from the photo) and salty. Service was good! read more

Came for birthday drinks on Friday evening, 8pm. It was packed! The dining room was full with patrons waiting in the foyer. Luckily, I made reservations online and we were immediately taken downstairs to the basement bar. We ordered cocktails, a beer and fries. Pros: - Service is excellent, by far the best - Cocktails are well balanced and creative - Seating is super comfortable and plush - Vibes: DJ live spin vinyl records later in the evening Notes: - Next time, would be down to try the late night hour menu for drink and snack deals. - Free parking in the residential streets past Cambie St. read more

Before even walking into the restaurant we were warmly greeted at the door by @officialmaitredsolutions who happily gave us direction on what to do once getting inside. We were seated at the bar as we only wanted drinks and we ordered a Blue Fizz and Chamberzyette- both drinks were tasty! It was pretty packed inside the restaurant with lots a chatter and had the vibes for a good pregame spot on a friday night...however my friend thought it was too noisy inside. read more

We celebrated my birthday at June tonight. Our reservation was at 5:45pm, and we arrived 13 minutes early. Upon checking in at the front desk, the hostess informed us that we needed to return 10 minutes later, as it was not yet our scheduled time. Despite there being 5-6 empty tables, we were not seated. We waited for 10 minutes and checked on the status, at which point she stated that we would be seated promptly at 5:45. Once seated, we found the dining room to be quite noisy. We began with the crab dip and mussels, both of which were satisfactory but unremarkable. Our entrees consisted of the evening's features: stable fish pretty good and ribeye steak with chanterelle mushrooms delicious. Overall, I would say this new restaurant is likely overhyped. read more

3.5/5! I thought it was hard to see inside the restaurant, but the atmosphere was nice. The girl who greeted us at the door and took us to our table was also very kind and allowed us to choose a different spot to sit. Since I am not a big fan of alcoholic drinks, there weren't a lot of options as this is a bar (understandably). I was hoping for there to be more fruit based mocktails, but they all seemed to have some sort of "spiced" element. I ended up getting a Spicy Daisy and I thought that it was interesting as it felt like there were different layers to the drink. I enjoyed the refreshing milky and calamansi side, but was thrown off by the ginger taste. The beef tartare was very well seasoned and it hid the "raw meat" taste so I did like it, though I prefer tartare served with bread. I think I would need to come back here to try their dinner menu and reevaluate! read more

June on Cambie offered a dark and moody ambiance reminiscent of art deco French nouveau. The theme was evident throughout, with the staff dressed in chic uniforms. The service was prompt and attentive, and despite being at a prime serving time at 6 PM, our drinks and appetizers arrived quickly. Surprisingly, the kitchen even gave us two orders of our truffle eggs, which we didn't mind at all. However, the close proximity of the tables created a lively atmosphere, making it difficult to hear conversations. The menu offered a variety of classic French bistro dishes, including steak frites, beef tartar, prawns, oysters, and mussels. While not groundbreaking, the execution was satisfactory, not exceptional but not comparable to French cuisine. The food portions were generous enough to share, leaving us feeling satisfied. We ordered the truffle eggs, crab dip with spiced madeleines, salade Maison with dijon vinaigrette, pasta for Rachel and steak frites 8 oz, milk chocolate mousse. I would consider returning to June, but it wouldn't be my first choice. While the ambiance and interior design were pleasant, I feel there are better French options available. Ultimately, it's more about the atmosphere than the food. read more

I feel like I've finally had enough time to digest my upsetting experience at June on Cambie to bring a honest review. The backstory - I've been here twice since their opening; the first time fresh within the month of their opening (pre-Lala), I had such a delightful experience, I decided to celebrate my birthday here the following month. The initial experience: 1st seating, packed, had a wonderful server (tall, slender fellow), food & drinks met and exceeded my expectations. The Drinks: ABC sour - read basic on menu, but the flavors worked so well together! Very smooth, refreshing palette, with just the right amount of punch. Blue Fizz - very sweet, muted spirit undertones, would've considered an extra shot in this one! Verdita Colada - this ones my favourite so far! The Food: June Brioche - the knob butter is really the star of the show. Solid brioche but portion size did not justify price point. Duck w/ frites & salad (seasonal, unfortunately) - this duck was phenomenal. Cooked to perfection - tender, juicy with a worcestershire-y sauce cutting right through the fattiness of the skin. This is also the dish I raved about prior to knowing it was seasonal :( Pasta for Rachel (2 attempts!) - the instagram-made-me-do-it order. I loveee fresh pasta cooked al Dante. 1st attempt, delish! A very buttery sauce base, plump little fillings, served fresh to the table. 2nd attempt, a disappointment. Served with crusty dried edges, nearly sauce free making it very bland. All neighbouring tables were served 'the IG way' with a performative table side butter service and we inquired with our server (a woman, slightly dismissive & irritated, serving a section of the back wall booths) and she clarified that the diner has to request extra butter served for the service, and swiftly left without further explanation. This is not noted on the menu, nor was it mentioned to us by our server upon ordering. Mussels - great sharing dish, portion & serve style. Very saucy and delish with the brioche soaking up the sauce. Mussels pictured from 2 visits included, both dishes look irrelevant to each other. Consistency is obviously a problem here. Halibut - regular menu item (thankful, unlike the duck breast), get the halibut for some kind of stability. Beautiful presentation, incredibly fresh halibut steak. NY Strip steak - classic steak & frites. Frog legs - not the first time having frog legs (pretty pan-Asian protein choice) served deep fried with a sweet sauce equivalent to Korean yangneom chicken, though not meaty enough. Beef tartare - housemade chips were nice, I actually liked the tartare as the drizzle of sauce toned down the gaminess of raw meats. Crab dip w/ spiced Madeline - the Madelines were solid, but the crab is occasionally too fishy to taste (1st attempt) and completely fine on another (2nd attempt). The Experience: A hit or miss? In my opinion in the scene of boutique-y dining experiences, good service anchors down the fort beyond the physical consumables. On any special occasion, like my birthday, to have bad service is literally a cherry on top for reasons to never come back - we didn't even want to bother with another round of drinks, or even do dessert to bear with our sever any longer. Beyond a prettyyy dismissive response to our inquiries, we did start the evening with over recommendations, approx. 2-3 dish each, where the neighbouring table of the same party size was only recommended 1-2 dishes a head, questionable. Perhaps I'd swing in for walk-in drinks, but no more 1-month out reservations, and definitely unnecessary to book for food quality as inconsistent as I've experienced. read more

June on Cambie is a must try when in Vancouver B.C.. The interior is very sleek with the dim lighting giving it a softer feel. We had reservations for 5pm but the atmosphere made it feel like it was 9pm. The service is spectacular. Our waitress was nice and very informative with the menu highlights. We ordered the Crab dip, the Pasta for Rachel, and the Chocolate Mousse (dessert). The Crab Dip is refreshing. I like that the madeleine's have a subtle citrus flavor. The Pasta for Rachel is probably the best pasta I ever had. Their take on ravioli is something special. The first bite gives a toasty taste and then you start tasting a buttery and honey flavor (Normandy Butter). The comte' cheese within the ravioli gives it a creamy texture. It is definitely a must try. For dessert we ordered their signature June Chocolate Mousse. It is light, fluffy, with a crisp base. It is served over a pool of creme anglaise which gives it a silky texture and makes it visually appealing. read more

Really good food, great cocktails. We came for the NYE set menu, which included scallops, tuna crudo or foie gras, a ravioli dish with shaved truffle, trout or steak frites, brioche, and dessert (chocolate mousse, baked Alaska, or eggnog ice cream). Everything was tasty and well executed. Standouts included the pasta, which had incredible flavours, and the trout (perfectly cooked, on point flavours). We also had the oysters which had a nice light seasoning. Knowing the bar is run by the people behind the Keefer, I had to try their cocktails as well. I had the Verdita Colada (incredible, one of the best cocktails I've had in a while with an unusual mix of flavours and a nice kick from the chili oil), the noisette Manhattan (boozy and rich in flavour, a must try if you like a manhattan), and a shiso sour (fun and interesting with savoury notes). The decor, lighting, and ambiance are on point. You can definitely dress up and not feel out of place, but it also doesn't feel pretentious. Service was nice although a touch hard to get a hold of but given it was packed on NYE this may be situation specific. Overall 4.5/5 stars for a great dining and cocktails experience. Rounded up as currently quite good value. Can't wait to come back and try more things from this team! read more

finally got a reso to check out this awesome restaurant and ironically, it coincided w/world work bestie day so ofc i came w/my foodie a - she's my wrk!bestie as well. the entrance to the restaurant is rather inconspicuous but once you step inside, you are transported to a cozy, dim jazz bar - there is a bar downstairs called lala, and you will need separate resos for them. it was a raincouver-type of day so the dim jazz vibe was def a nice change. i was a little early to my reso but was seated right away - coat check was down at my seat. a ran a little late so i got started with a cocktail - orchard hiball, which is an AMAZING drink to start your dinner with. it is basically a crossover btwn umeshu and apple juice, spiked with some fizz it in. it is definitely easy to drink and i can totally see myself getting tipsy if i had a few. a finally arrived, and we - being the prepared ones - already had a few dishes in mind but our server was very friendly and advised that everything was family-style and meant to be shared. a ordered an extra dirty gin martini that our other frd, s, would be VERY proud of (s is more of a vodka girl tho). as i said, the hiball is very smooth and easy to drink so i was basically on my 2nd drink at this point - guava batida - it came in the cutest cup and a whole lot of ice. beware, this drink is boozy and quite herbal - not for someone who is just starting to drink. i personally preferred the hiball more. as a and i are both gin gals, we each essentially got a g&t afterwards - she had the mermaid gin and i had the christian drouin le gin. i've always wanted to get the mermaid gin cuz the bottle looked so nice but...ngl, it essentially tasted like sea air/water. on other hand, christian drouin was cardamom and juniper-forward - i love juniper in my gin so it was perfect. now onto the food! for starters, we had the crab dip - the plating and presentation! i have to say that all the dishes that we had was both appealing to our palates and our eyes. the crab dip is covered in chives, with dill scattered inside along with the spiced madeleines surrounding it. there was a bit of a tang with the dip so it was the perfect starter. we then moved onto our next 2 dishes - the mussels and the crispy eggplant. the 2 dishes compliment each other as they both have the salty, spicy vibes thoroughout. the mussels - if you've had HK-style stir fried seafood, you'd know exactly what i mean with the spicy, garlic and crispy frites on the top. the fino sherry sauce adds nice richness to the dish. the crispy eggplant was just an excuse for us to add veggies into the mix - but it was deep fried...at least we tried? the butternut squash ravioli is a seasonal dish - basically the same as pasta for rachel only a bit smaller and obvsly, butternut squash filling. the dish was rich, dense but not overwhelming. the truffles on top added another flavour profile to the pasta. i called this the chocolate thing but really, that's what the menu calls it too. it is the most decadent chocolate mousse with hazelnut and a crunchy bottom - the Chantilly cream was such a nice addition to the dessert. it was such a wonderful experience and im trying to plan for my next visit! read more

Very surprisingly satisfied. June punches all the notes for a fine dining yet hip venue. Decor is modern with lots of energy. We started with beef tartare, crab dip and frog legs - enjoyed all especially the Tartare - an interesting take where it is accompanied by house made potato chips! The mussels were awesome and so fresh. It was pre-shucked in half shells. Don't skip dessert particularly the crème caramel and house made ice cream. The white pine negroni made with Akvavit was so enjoyable - a sophisticated west coast sipping concoction indeed. Great date night location if you want to impress with your culinary coolness. I really want to come back! read more

Vancouver needs more places like JUNE! We live in the hood and we've been eyeing June since we saw a new lease had gone into this building. We got a reso for four last night (Friday) which also happened to be the soft launch June's underground bar, Lala. The vibes immediately cool when you step through the curtains and moody and the decor is awesome. The bar is striking and I love the outfits that everyone wears! The service is wonderful, our waiter joked lots with us and gave us his "fave" dishes! We ordered the following and here's how I'd rate them: Crab dip - LOVED want to eat a mound of it to myself. Paris Tartare - FRESH and a lovely bite of tuna Brioche - perfect for slopping up sauces Mussels - LOVED, insanely great sauce comes with. I love the textures on these too as they have little crispy garnish Frogs Legs - A MUST, no notes just so great. I simply want more! Pasta for Rachel - the famous pasta sheet, while I loved the look and was anticipating this dish, I wanted a slightly more flavourful filling, maybe sharper cheese. Pasta was beautiful tho and cooked perfectly. Crème Caramel - GORG, loved the crispy topper. Drinks wise you need to have the Veridita Colada - best drink I had. I also had the Genmaicha Clover Club which too was pretty and delish. Shoutout to Joshua who welcomed us to June and made our experience even better! Once we finished dinner we headed down to Lala and caught a glimpse of the "ice room" yes they have a room for ICE! Lala is a vinyl bar and the vibes are so right! The design is really pretty too with velvet stools and seating with a curved and sexy ceiling. The bartender Riley was great. He made excellent cocktails. A guy is spinning records the whole time and the room is buzzing. I can't wait to go back to June and Lala on the reg and try the whole menu! I'm so thrilled this spot opened. As we were leaving we also saw fellow Will and Grave Canadian, Erik McCormack waiting for a seat! Well done June! So stoked to have you in the hood. read more

June has been getting a lot of hype lately, I could only get a weekday reservation, and the place was packed even then. The vibe felt more like a bar than a restaurant: it was quite dark, and the music was loud. That said, the service was top-notch. They cleaned the table and changed our plates between each course, which was superb. The cocktail list was impressive (no surprise given that it's from the same owner as Keefer Bar). I really enjoyed the ABC Sour, the hojicha gave it a fun twist on a classic whiskey sour. Overall, I was pretty impressed with the food. The menu was well executed, and I genuinely enjoyed most of the dishes, with the highlights being: Pasta for Rachel ($40)I love that it's named after the chef's wife. The pasta, filled with potato and cottage cheese and served in a brown butter sauce, was pure comfort: rich, luscious, and indulgent. You really can't go wrong with carbs and butter. The entire table loved it. Steak Frites - NY Striploin ($68)Another favorite. The steak was beautifully marbled, tender, and packed with flavor. The fries were outstanding - perfectly crispy and seasoned. My friend even joked she'd come back just for the fries. Chocolate Mousse ($14)Their signature dessert that's been all over social media, complete with "June" written on top. The mousse was silky smooth with a crisp hazelnut base, a lovely textural contrast. I only wish it had a stronger chocolate flavor. Other dishes we tried ranged from average to decent, I'd probably try different options next time. Pumpkin Ganache Paris Brest ($12)A seasonal dessert with unique components like mocha and rice crispies, but the pumpkin filling was overpowering. It felt a bit like eating a massive dessert bagel. I much preferred the chocolate mousse. Crispy Eggplant ($18)A creative take on the vegetable, the texture almost made it feel like a vegetarian steak. Interesting if you are in the mood for it. Beef Tartare ($22)An interesting twist on a classic. It had more pickles (I think?), giving it a tangier, punchier flavor than traditional French tartare, which I actually appreciated. However, the chips on the side were too oily and detracted from the dish. Le Petit Chapeau Pâté ($24)My least favorite dish of the night. The pastry was dense and unappealing, and the pâté itself was chunky yet bland. The salad and cornichons on the side helped a little, but I'd recommend skipping this one read more

(4.5/5) Finally got to try the highly anticipated June on Cambie. It is required to make a reservation at this time if you'd like to dine during peak hours on the weekend. Although we came a bit early, the hostess managed to seat us at our table. The non-booth tables are quite close together so be mindful of that if you require accessibility. The restaurant is warm but dark with minimal lighting and kind of reminds me of a jazz bar - 10/10 ambiance and great for dates and celebrations. Below is also a basement bar called Lala which I hope to check out one day. Our server came by promptly and took our drink orders. I loved the Sunflower Punch - the clarified and carbonated milk punch made it refreshing while the sunflower seed and tarragon provided floral and herb notes. It's a delicious fall drink! For the appetizers, we went with the liver mousse feature and the beef tartare. Both were staple wins in my book. The mousse especially was the star of the night for me as it paired really nicely with the sliced mini grapes and rosé jelly, a true sweet and savoury dream. The crostini to pair was also soft!! This was so pleasant as opposed to harder cracker like textures that sometimes hurt my mouth to eat. Tartare flavour and texture was also perfect with enough tartness and aroma. Potato chips were an interesting choice but I wasn't mad at it. Next was the steak and my goodness it was perfectly cooked and paired with a delicious and rich brandy sauce. The fries were also fried to the most perfect brown and had wonderful texture. My only wish was that it came with a couple pieces of roasted vegetables. Pasta for Rachel was extremely buttery and rich which was fun for my tastebuds, but not for my weak stomach. Finally, we were hesitant to order dessert but the server highly recommended the chocolate. While the presentation was simple, I was blown away by the texture and taste! The dessert essentially reminded me of a very classy chocolate mousse with something crunchy at the bottom paired with condensed milk and cream. Definitely a must order if you like chocolate. Overall the night was seamless and wonderful. I found the prices for the appetizers and mains to be fair as well. I would definitely love to return! read more

This place has received a lot of hype on social media. That I don't trust much, but some friends gave it a good review too, so I naturally wanted to try it. Reservations are recommended, and getting them online is a bit a competition. We arrive at open, and there was already a small line in front. Those with reservations were allowed in first, so I'm guessing they keep a few tables for walk-in. The space is quite dark. The most striking feature is the orange glow from the bar. We ended up trying the following: - Apple Celery Mocktail: Excellent. I usually don't include my drinks in the review, because they're usually not exciting. But this was one of the most memorable drinks I've had in recent memory. Wonderful blend of apple and celery, which was incredibly refreshing. - Le Petit Chapeau Pate: OK. Decent enough, but was the least exciting dish of the night. - June Brioche: Good. Small portion. Just enough for 4 people to take a bite. - Seasonal Salad: Very good. Nicely presented, it was fresh and simple. Tiny croutons were a nice surprise. - Pepper Bluefin: Very good. Nice executed and plated. - Pasta for Rachel: Very good. An interesting presentation, where we had to cut it up to share. Drenched in butter, which is a selling point. - Steak Frites: Excellent. Striploin was perfectly done, and I tried to soak up every drop of the brandy sauce. Fries were also excellent, and the mayo maison was outstanding. - June Burger: Excellent. Easily one of the best burgers I've ever had. Service was pretty good. Our server was good enough, as she was attentive. There was another server (or busser?) helping, and he was very entertaining trying to get my kids involved in a couple of conversations. Overall an excellent meal. Admittedly pricy, but the food got progressively better through out the night. I would rate 4.5 out of 5, but edging up to 5 because I still think about how good that steak and hamburger is. I would definitely return. read more

We came for a birthday celebration on a Saturday. Service was mediocre and food was a little bit of a let down Drinks: Most of their drinks are prebatched so are harder to customize. They are infused ahead of time to give it more flavour Noisette Manhattan (23) - a good solid drink. If you like strong drinks this is a good one. The brown butter whisky makes this drink delicious Genmaicha clover club (18) - loved the faint genmaicha flavour at the end Blue fizz (19) - good for people who don't love the flavour of alcohol. On the sweeter side Verdita Colada (22) - like the creaminess of this drink with the contrast of the chilli oil Burnt Gibson (mini) (10) - a bit too strong and dry for me Onto the food... Crab dip (28) - I liked the spiced Madeleines in this dish. Gave it a little punch. The crab wasnt too seafoody and contrasted well with the avocado. Reminded me a little of a deconstructed California roll Beef tartare (22) - the potato chips had a hint of old oil flavour but it didn't influence the dish too much. They were nice and crispy. Good amount of tartare to chips. I think there was a bit too much pickle to the amount of beef. Would be better if we were instructed to mix the tartare beforehand so that you aren't getting huge amounts of sourness in some mouthfuls. Felt like the peppered egg yolk didn't add much to this dish Frog legs (16) (usually comes with 3) - they reminded me a lot of yangnyeom Korean fried chicken which is like a sweet and spicy flavour. The frog legs were juicy. I feel like the lime mignonette was a bit much. A bit overly sweet for me Pasta for Rachel (36) - was a disappointment. I think we were most hyped for this dish. To our disappointment this dish didn't exceed expectations. The pasta (especially the side pieces) was dry. It tasted EXACTLY like a PEROGI. The beirre d'isigny was very faint. Almost nonexistent. We were advised that it probably melted before it got to the table. Our server explained that some people want extra on theirs which is why other tables get the table service. I note that this isn't explained on the menu (but it is on their Instagram - I guess social media does run the world now). HOT TIP. Ask for EXTRA butter for your pasta and you will get tableside butter service. Without the extra butter the whole dish was just dry and we were forced to scrap up whatever sauce we could find on it to add that extra flavour (if you compare other photos with mine, the amount of sauce will look very inconsistent in each which definitely impacts the flavour profile) Halibut (40) - one of the better dishes on the night. Very soft and perfectly cooked. Loved the delicate sauce Special of the day asparagus salad (22) - this was one of the specials of the day. Quail egg was well cooked. I hated the size of the asparagus (chopped into tiny pieces) and the sauce coating the asparagus totally masked the flavour of it. Dish was refreshing but shouldn't be marketed as an asparagus dish. It also looks like a side salad when compared to the rest of the dishes. Maybe should have been served with the initial dishes instead NY steak with fries (65) - fries were crispy and delicious. The steak was also tender and well cooked Overall I felt like the service here was mediocre. The explanation for some of the dishes were lacking. The overall noise of the restaurant was also on the louder side so if you are looking for a quiet place this is not it. They also have some larger tables which is good. The food was okay but nothing that I would come back for. The birthday girl at the table had been to the restaurant before and commented that the dishes were inconsistent with the quality received on the initial visit which prompts me to believe that food can be inconsistent. Maybe your visit will be better than ours.I did enjoy some of their drinks so I would come back to try those. And again. Reminder to order the extra butter IF you are getting the pasta read more

4.5 rounded up! Great food, service, and ambiance. Standouts were the crab dip and June burger. The burger was juicy and perfectly balanced -- easily one of the best burgers I've had. The Paris tartare was refreshing and the Haidacore tuna was seasoned well with a citrusy flavor. The one thing I didn't really care for was the pasta; it was quite buttery and tasted like mashed potatoes wrapped in ravioli. I was a bit underwhelmed considering it was one of the pricier menu items. Regardless, all of the dishes were well executed. 10/10 would recommend and come back! read more

-good service! They had the Hy's waiter fit on LOL - bar and lighting installed in the centre of the restaurant was v cool and vibey but based on other people's vids I definitely imagined something abit different LOL kinda didn't meet the expectations I created in my head loved the rounded windows though - great cocktails (I only order mocktails if I do choose to get a drink & the spicy Daisy was really good (calamansi, honey + smtng else) - must orders: Pasta for Rachel, Steak frites, Mussels, crab dip - good but not must order: tartare, brioche buns, frog legs (although I was obsessed with honey lime mignonette -good desserts! Get the creamsicle ice cream French influenced West coast food so expect HEAVVYYYY butter across the mains. So good cause it's special butter from Normandy that's apparently very expensive LOL i don't think you really need to ask for MORE butter though cause it was a lot read more

June On Cambie - Desserts Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

What's the hype ??? New place , nice and cozy , sounds a little too loud that you have to yell at the person in front of you . Steaks and burger are way too salty . We came in at 6 , I know it's busy on a Saturday , but the Wait time is ridiculous . Our server is nice , but took a bit of time to get her attention when needed . A blazer as their uniform , NOPE! read more

June on Cambie is a beautiful new addition to Vancouver's dining scene--elevated food, romantic vibe, and a lot of promise. We came here for a date night and were really impressed with the atmosphere--warm, stylish, and perfect for a cozy evening out. Highlights included the crab appetizer and tomato salad, both fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully prepared. The scallops were incredibly juicy and flavorful, and the pasta (their signature dish) was outstanding--definitely a must-order. We also tried two mocktails, which were both refreshing and well balanced. There are still a few kinks the restaurant seems to be working out. We were initially seated at the wrong table (a four-top for just the two of us), and had to return to the reception to be reseated. One of the appetizers arrived before our salad, and at one point, a server mistakenly brought our dish to another table. Service overall was friendly but could be more coordinated. As for the food, the burger was a bit too salty for my taste and could have used more plating finesse. The chocolate dessert was rich and satisfying, but would benefit from a finishing touch--perhaps a twist of orange peel or a touch of gold to elevate the presentation. Despite a few minor hiccups, June is clearly aiming high. It's a new spot with real culinary talent, and with a bit more polish, it could easily become one of Vancouver's top dining destinations. We'll definitely be back. read more

This is a very nice jazz vibe place with various options. We got reservations for the main dining room but there is also a bar downstairs that we must try next time. Great atmosphere, great food and great service! See you soon! read more

10/10 experience all around. From the service, to the ambiance, to the incredible food. We tried 6 dishes and loved every single one. The mussels and pasta for Rachel were the crowd faves and the dish that surprised us with its juiciness and flavour was the June Burger! All the drinks were also delicious - no surprise there as this restaurant is the same group as Keefer Bar. It's pretty difficult to get a reso though so if you can get one, highly recommend! read more

Don't be confused by the 2004 LA or San Francisco vibes and DJ/vocalist this place serves delicious food in a place that while on the noisy side we were still able to communicate in. People mentioned it being hard to get a reservation but I got one really easy during the week maybe because I think eating at 6 or 7 is too freaking early and I eat out during the week as much as I do on the weekends. We ate at June upstairs and had the full dining menu which served until 9:30pm. It was hopping when we got there despite it being a week day and the host was a bit curt but everyone after that was lovely. If you want to check your coat they do have a closet but you have to ask for it. Both the bar and the dining area are reservations so you wouldn't be able to get a drink at the bar if you come early unless you want to stand. The space is designed to be noisy with hard surfaces on the walls, ceiling and floor as well as very good speakers, there is also DJ that sings and play guitar after 9pm. Despite this we were able to hear each other but it might be more of an issue with a larger group. It very much reminded me of places in LA and SF around 2004 with comfy banquette seating and free standing chairs and pretty people who all probably have more interesting jobs than the average bear. Our server said 4-5 dishes would be good for two, it was a bit too much for us but we enjoyed what we got. Our server was excellent, she knew the menu, the drinks, was able to ask answer questions and never seemed rushed despite it being a completely full restaurant. I love knowledgeable service folks. We had: crab dip $30- lots of fresh crab but not special, I like the versions with roe on top. tasty but probably wouldn't get again Grilled Bluefin Tuna $28 probably my favourite dish. 4 pieces of Blue fin Tuna with haricot vert, lardon vinaigrette with lots of lardons, wonderful lemon emulsion and for some reason so frisee that covered the whole thing and did not need to be there. This was a dish where every bite was complete and made my mouth happy. Special fries with truffle fondue sauce-I don't know the price for this but I'm guessing around 25-30? cause anytime people add the word truffle it adds 20-30. I love real truffles from Italy or part of France and the fake ones from Oregon and Washington but I hate "truffle oil" and the marketing of truffle= expensive. Anyways the truffle fondue was tasty and there was real or oregon truffle in there and not just the stupid oil. The spouse loves truffle fries so we had to get them and they are a good late night food. Beet salad. 20 this was listed as beets, walnut, pear, shallot. It needed more walnut and pear. We also got the burrata for additonal charge. It was good burrata but a bit on the small side for the double digit cost. This dish looked beautiful and the beets were cooked right which seems like a hard thing for some North Americans and the vinegrette it was in was delicious but the balance was off with more texture needed. Also there were endives that while traditional I didn't think were needed. Pasta for Rachel 40, this felt very comforting in it's simplicity. cheese ravioli in butter with a bit of pepper but this showed the quality of the ingredients and the preparation. I thought it was going to be a single large raviolo but it was sheet of tiny ravioli cooked to al dente and dressed. It was very good and I would get it again. It's the kind of pasta you think you can make at home until you try and fail completely. We finished with an eggnog soft serve which had tiny gingerbread men climbing on it and that is all the reason you need to get it. We also got three non-alcohol cocktails which were each around 12 dollar (they had a selection of 4). We really liked the tart one. Still and sparkling water are both gratis and they had limes as well. Dinner for two with tax and a decent tip was around 275. I don't know how popular this will be with the local diners but I think for international and transplants this with be a happy new addition. I personally like that even the Michelin starred and fine dining restaurants in Vancouver have a more casual or party vibe but I can understand that some people equate quite and stuffy with special occasional meal which i think this would be for many locals. read more

Food quite innovative and all dishes were good except steak tartare a little too salty for our taste. Checked out both main floor dining room and downstairs. Music is really quite loud and lively. read more

Beautiful ambiance from the moment you step inside. They keep it very dark, with some mood lighting. We had made a reservation for 5pm, right when they open. Once we were seated the staff was professional, nice, and quick. They took our jackets to a coat check if we wanted. They went through the featured menu, everything sounded delicious. I ordered the apple Celery fizz, so good. Crisp and a little tart. My partner ordered the spicy daisy, which the waitress described as a NA spicy margarita. These drinks were sooo good and refreshing. We had a table of 4 so they recommended about 8-12 dishes as they also recommended sharing everything family style. However, the other couple we went with don't eat beef, so we really just ordered in pairs to share. My partner and I got the Foie Torchon, it was sweet and salty perfection. The beef tartar, refreshing. The June burger, oh my gosh this was delicious. And then the Ribeye and frites, also very delicious. We did try the croquettes (ham and cheese), along with the truffle eggs. These were both pretty good, not our favorite. For the Ribeye and frites, we had hoped the fries would have been more like shoe string fries, but either way still delicious. Everything was cooked well and presented beautifully. Now to the desserts! I got their chocolate, which I believe they are known for and my partner got their beignets with blueberry compote and a cream cheese like frosting for dipping. This was a featured dessert. All I can say is WOW! My chocolate dish was amazing. It wasn't too sweet, which we love, the hazelnut crunch on the bottom gave it texture. It was just so delicious. The beignets were also delicious, but I am a chocolate girl through and through. Overall, we cannot wait to go back. The food, service and experience was excellent! Highly recommend! read more

I have seen a lot of reviews for this place on TikTok and couldn't wait to finally try it and decide for myself if it was worth it. Although it is almost impossible to get a reso here, I was able to snag a last minute reso for the next day. We were a group of 4 and ordered the beef tartar, mussels, burger, pasta and steak frites. We also got the chocolate dessert and tried a couple of their cocktails. No dish or drink failed to live up to the hype. Everything we had was delicious and made with care. Food came out at a good pace and we were left full with the dishes we had ordered. To this day I'm still thinking about the mussels and pasta. read more

This is a influencers restaurant. So much hype on Instagram and it is Instagram worthy don't get me wrong, but the food does not match up to the hype. A telling sign is the average age of the patrons is very young, who typically do not have a robust sense of flavours or experiences. If you want photos of good looking food, then this is for you. If you want good flavour for money, not so much and look somewhere else. We had the crab dip (one of the better options, that was refreshing). The scallops ($10 per scallop) which were very cooked perfectly, but were heavy seasoned with lemon and sweetness, which resulted in it the scallops being like flavoured with lemon-cello and it overpowered the dish. The mussels were good. Average. They put micro-potatoes on it for crispiness but it did not add anything great. My thoughts were to put fried onions instead which would have been better in my opinion for a little counter balance to the slight heat. The sauce for the mussels was amazing but did not make up for the overall dish. We got the chicken that was sold to us as the best chicken ever. Not so much. It was over cooked and not juicy. $50 for a quarter chicken you would expect it to be at least juicy. With so many options in Vancouver, I would not go back to June. read more

We went to June, as it was the latest "hot" restaurant. The space has a nice deco and the servers are the typical yuppy type. Sadly, we found the food was just OK, not worthy of second try. We believe there are so many other interesting restaurants out there that serve excellent food without the hype. However, we did enjoy the bar in the basement. That, we will return. read more

TL;DR: Multiple bugs in our salad, dismissive service, and poor handling of the situation. Our duck dish came with fries and salad. After a few bites, I spotted a live bug on the cucumber. The waiter brushed it off, saying it likely flew in. Checking further, we found two more dead bugs in other salads. The manager offered desserts or a partial discount--$20 off a $70 dish. When we pointed out that comping the dish should be standard for a high-end restaurant, she argued "you enjoyed the protein." Only after pushing did they fully comp it. read more
