Went early on a Friday night recently and just walked in without a reservation at 5:15. By 6:00 the…read moresmall place was full. Tried the tasting menu at $100 per person. We had one cocktail each and we enjoyed the food. The service is upscale. The server knew the menu. Of the many courses I really enjoyed the endive and egg salad which had excellent flavor and not over seasoned. The tortellini in butter sauce was light and solid. A shout out to the Bartender who made me an excellent Boulivardier and if I wasn't driving I would have had a couple more. The other courses were not nearly as outstanding. The beef cheek was seasoned well but not quite warm enough. The carrot cake for dessert was not too sweet and flavorful, however the tart orange wedges really complemented this dish well. It must the Nona's recipe from back home. I would go back, if I could just walk in again.

I came in wanting food. Wasn't breakfast but I didn't want Lunch. So I had this breakfast thing…read more It came with potato nugs, two bacon, 2 eggs, two toast, and a salad and I added avocado. I think I paid almost $27. I was really not impressed. The nugs. Tasted great. Half was still luke warm INSIDE the potatos so I'm guessing re heat on the pan etc. half hot. Half sorta warm. The bacon. Can anyone complain about bacon? It was great. The eggs... I liked the eggs but I wish they threw that on top of the bread. Because a wooden fork that doesn't pick up nothing. It was a mess to get the sunny off the take out container bottom. Otherwise the eggs was great. The toast... well I wasn't a fan of it. Maybe if it had been packed on the side in a bag I might of. I don't know. It wasn't great and it tasted sweet cuz of the salad they put on the other side of the bread in the box. I didn't like the salad. I don't like sweet salads and the dressing ruined the bread. Yep so the salad. The ingredients in the salad was fine. I just didn't like the dressing. Had this been dressing on the side I would have liked the salad. The avocado. I paid $3 for half an avocado. I wouldn't so much complain about that. If the whole meal itself wasn't such hit and miss. But overall. $27 including a $3 tip I was not impressed for what I got. And I'd dare say the highlight was the potatos even though half of the wasn't even hot. I would of really enjoyed the eggs if there was a way to get them on the toast (without the dressing contamination) without the egg breaking before I could get it on the toast (sunny side up) While I work practically next door, I can't say I would do this order again. Service was fast. For take out. Less than 10 mins. But I think I'd of prefer to wait 2 more mins if the potatos would of been reheated through

It was 4 of us and we got a table right away without a reservation on a Saturday afternoon. Their ambiance is sheek and minimalistic!

We ordered their shakshuka from their brunch menu - it was pretty good! The sourdough bread was amazing!! We also got their chicken sando which came with buttermilk chicken, salad, and pickles.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

It's on the 14th floor of the hotel and can be closed off if the weather isn't accommodating, which is nice. We went for cocktails because we heard they have amazing craft cocktails, and they do. Let me start with the service because if the service isn't good, it's a wrap for me. No worries though because service was amazing. From the hostess stand to the bartender, top notch. Chris was our expert craft bartender. Not only was he knowledgeable, he was friendly. He kindly explained the menu and the associated cocktails. I wanted a caipirinha which was not on the menu but he made it for me and let me know what was comparable on the menu. My husband ordered the chapter II shots, which were a flight of cocktails from different regions (Bahamas, Spain, Philippines, and Chile) from around the world. I loved my caipirinha (9/10) and my husband enjoyed the flight (10/10). I also had the Tropicalia, which was a rum based drink with cachaca and tropical fruits. I asked Chris to balance it out so it wasn't overly sweet, which he gladly accommodated. It was good but I preferred the original caipirinha. I highly recommend Levantine if you're in the downtown Vancouver area.

The prawn was slightly overcooked and tasted bitter to me.

We ordered 2 grilled fish set: the mirin marinated mackerel and teriyaki marinated yellowtail. Both were very well cooked! meat was so tender without over-cooked. We updated one of the set to the uni and snowcrab kamameahi set. The uni butter and the snow crab went very well together and lots of crab meat too. We tried the black cod and shrimp croquette. I am usually not a super big fan of croquette because of the texture. But the amount of fish and shrimp in these croquette were generous which gave them a very nice texture. We also ordered the chicken nanban. The amount of the batter was perfect without making an overly thick layer on the chicken thigh. The addition of egg pieces to the tartar sauce gave a nice kick to the texture The only minor downside was the side spinach salad. The salad was a bit dry on all of the sets.
