My husband and I came here for an early dinner before their "Pottery Night" event…read more We each had a flight of ciders (they had 20 on tap)! It was really awesome to try so many different types of cider. We also enjoyed the well made vegan menu and shared: Burger with side of poutine - the burger was very tasty, and the fries were top notch. The mushroom gravy was a bit too heavy on the corn starch or whatever thickener they used, making it weirdly gummy, and was somewhat lacking in flavour. But otherwise this was quite good. Jackfruit Tacos - we ordered an extra one. This was decent, but a bit underwhelming for me. The ingredients were fresh. As for the Pottery Night, that was fun! Anais, who runs the event was very kind and patient, and gave us guidance along the way. I ran out of steam after making a few Christmas ornaments, so my husband used the rest of my clay for his projects (ashtrays). I recommend signing up the next time they do this!

Fantastically friendly and amicable service truly compliments the food and drinks here. They're a…read morevegan restaurant, but that's not a bad thing, everything we ordered tasted wonderful. If I had to find a fault I would say the fries could be a little crisper. They have 19 ciders on draught, which are available by the 12oz or as a 4x4oz flight. I recommend doing the flight, as there are so many delicious flavours of ciders that this is the best way to try many. There is a small outside patio, and reasonable sized seating area inside. We were there mid-week for a late lunch, so they werent too crowded, but I can imagine this place is very popular in the evening and weekends. It's also a convenient short walk to Kitsilano beach. What better way to cool off after some sun than some cold cider!

This review is 3 months late, but even a few months later, we remember our meal like it was yesterday and can't wait to return the next time we're in Vancouver. Getting to experience a Michelin Guide-recommended vegan restaurant was one of the highlights of our trip! We had (from the June 2025 menu): the Bread, the Broccolini, the Chickpea Tofu, and the Potato Cavatelli. Not a single crumb, morsel, drizzle of sauce, or even pea was left on the plates! Every bite was so full of flavor and decadent, we were so sad when the meal was over ;) The stand-out though was the Chickpea Tofu, the best tofu we've ever had and it seemed to just melt in your mouth. We also loved sitting at the bar that overlooks the open kitchen. They offer those seats for guests who want a more immersive, interactive dining experience. It was really cool to watch the chefs create each masterpiece. Overall a truly memorable and delicious experience!

Would go back again -- and soon! They change their menu every few weeks.

First off people here a genuinely friendly, big smiles from the lady Boss and warm welcome from other staffs once we stepped inside, menu is simple and yet full of choices! Since we love grilled meats, we decided to go for the Platter for 2, oh wow, when it came out, I thought I was Fred Flintstone! Anyways, I have not had pork in Greek cooking that often, and was eager to try their Pork Souvlaki, one bite and I am hooked ( not many Greek places offers pork on their menus ), other items on the platter : Chicken Souvlaki, grilled Lamb Shoulder, Beef Patties, Pork Sausages, all came fresh off the grill with delicious char flavours! Oh and their fresh cut fries are also outstanding! For $65.00 this is a great value for such a generous portion of quality meats! As for sweets, please please try their Portokalopita ( Greek Orange Cake ) its a super super moist orange cake that goes well with a cup of coffee! Our Server Jack makes you feel relaxed and also very helpful with giving you recommendations plus a sense of humour! Street paid parking available, and if you venture into the side streets you may find free parking on your lucky day!

What a lovely, authentic Greek restaurant!…read more I first heard of this place from one of my online Vancouver restaurant newsletters that I subscribe to (the article listed 12 local restaurants that locals want to keep private, to keep them all from getting too popular and crowded). It sounded great, and their website looked good, and the reviews here were excellent. So today we tried it out, visiting at an odd-ish time (4pm). The decor is fantastic. Stone walls, murals, a cozy fireplace at the front, a gorgeous bar, a cute patio, a large and open interior. The menu is not overwhelmingly large but large enough to have lots of options, mostly for traditional Greek fare (think: souvlakis, Greek salads, dips and pitas, various grilled seafoods, lamb dishes, etc). (Note: I did not see my favorite moussaka on the menu, surprisingly). We ordered and shared a trio of dips with warm pita, a chicken souvlaki and a plate of fries. Everything was fresh and delicious. The taramasalata dip was, for me, the hit of the show. Wow, was it good! (It tasted like the most delicious smoked salmon dip imaginable, with a bit of pink caviar on top). The breads were wonderful (pita and bruschetta slices). Even the fries were fresh and hot and perfectly cooked. (They also offer the typical lemony Greek potato wedges, if that's your preference). Our server was super nice and attentive. What was really awesome here was how they accommodate people with celiac issues. They always do their fried potatoes in a separate fryer so they are always gluten-free, and the server was very knowledgable about the ingredients in every dish. She even brought out a plate of cucumber spears so my celiac friend could enjoy the dips, too. Super thoughtful! I thought the prices here were quite reasonable. My only suggestion for this restaurant is: it'd be fantastic if they had some sort of happy hour specials. When we arrived today, there was only one other dining party out on the patio. The entire restaurant interior was empty, save for my dining party. I know 4pm is an odd time, but perhaps if they had a HH menu, they could get more people in the place at this hour. It was a little disconcerting, being the only occupied table in this large, open restaurant. Just a thought! That said, I'm already planning when to return with my daughter here for dinner as I know she will love this place!

There is free entry; you just have to wait in line for a stamp, but it's worth the wait. You can buy drinks at the concession stand, where they sell some craft beer, coolers, and non-alcoholic options. On one side of the concession, there's also a place to buy bottles of wine. Once you've got your drinks, there are plenty of different tables and chairs to sit at, or you can just stand, which is what my friend and I did. Connected to the concession, they also sell Downlow Chicken. I didn't get any, but it smelled sooo good, and I'll definitely have to try it next time I visit. Honestly, this place reminded me of a lot of spots I've been to in Europe, which I absolutely love. I'm so glad we're starting to get cool places like this in Vancouver!

Another French bistro we recently tried. Didn't realize how we missed this place for so long but…read moreglad we dropped by. The dishes were simple and classic but I think they were nicely executed. Mussels were fresh and the cream sauce was not oily. Duck confit with lentils are classic pairing but done well. Duck was not salty. French fries seasoned well. The star was the pomme dauphine, hot, rich, cheesy but not heavy. French cooking done well. Treated ourselves with a lemon tart but it was not what we imagined. This was more of a family style tart with great pastry, set cream, and poached pears. The flavours and textures were amazing and balanced. Glad we splurged on the dessert.

Interestingly the steak tartare was in chunks and not grinded which was welcome for me Chocolate nousse- okay but I would pass next time Fries and salad came with each dish. The fried are so addicting and morrish. A bit of old oil flavour which is understandable considering the amount they are frying. It's not crispy but instead very potatoey. The sauce that it comes with (like mayo) went so well with it. Could eats lots of it. Salad was also a welcome addition to make it feel a bit healthier Overall great little French lunch spot

I mean Chef…read moreAdam's food speaks for itself so he doesn't need me to encourage you to dine there but I'll go ahead and try it anyway. This is the best Italian food in town. The menu changes constantly depending on what is fresh and in season. Take a look at my photos on this page to see the range. Last night an heirloom tomato and onion salad tasted like the last of summer exploding in our mouths. There are usually 4 - 6 different fresh pastas to choose from. We shared a halibut with tomato one and bolognese last night. These pastas are the definition of al dente. No place in Vancouver does it this well. There is an extensive wine list sure not to disappoint and make sure to start or finish with a cheese or two. The parmesan is mind blowing perfection. They don't take reservations and this outstanding restaurant is quite small and busy so be prepared for a wait. If you are going with a group larger than 2, the La Querica side does take reservations and I've found that to be an equally exceptional option. Just a little more casual on the L'ufficio side.

Sure it was delivered with haste; but it's the principle of the matter. Buratta cheese is not my jam. My dining companion enjoyed it well enough. The calamari was good, but so very oily. The oil seeped all over the plate. Could it not have been placed on a paper towel for a moment or two prior to plating? We'll never know. Will I/we be back? Maybe.
