Well, what better time to go then for my boyfriend's birthday? We came with somewhat full tummies and so we only got the cauliflower to share which was unique but the real star of the show are there cocktails. I started out with their cocktail which is their name sake: grapes and soda. It was so drinkable and delicious. My boyfriend got their special which he loved so watch out for those. We tried another one that was really a beautiful drink which I think was the umeshu shiso soda wari and finally zombie cure. 3.5 oz and you do NOT taste the booze -- these drinks are DANGEROUS and delicious. Come for the good cozy vibes and drinks. Maybe leave more room than I did as I spotted some beautiful local inspired menu items!

We were so lucky they could seat us, as we did not have a reservation. The ambiance was vibrant and animated. My kid and I shared an appetizer (white prawns with some sort of amazing Greek cheese. I forget the name), and the grilled sea bream. Both dishes were incredible. Our server was Jay and he couldn't have been nicer. Everyone was lovely. We definitely will be back!

We also got the small Greek salad to share, lemon roasted potatoes, and grilled octopus. For dessert, we tried the phyllo dough with vanilla custard -- never had anything like this before but we truly enjoyed it! Staff was friendly and attentive. I would come back here for sure!

Recently I went for brunch with my family for Father's Day and we had a great time. We all ordered different brunches. My brother and dad got the French omelettes, my mom the quiche Lorraine, my sister the carbonara and myself the mushroom egg tart. We all really enjoyed our dishes. Mine was light, fluffy, flakey and bright with a perfectly cooked soft poached egg. It's a clean feeling breakfast. My sister's carbonara was a proper carbonara (made with egg yolks) it was really savoury and a touch too salty for me but I enjoyed a taste of it. We also ordered the basque cheesecake. I've noticed more and more basque cheesecakes on menus but very rarely do restos do it right. I was looking for a gooy-er lighter but full cheese flavoured basque and unfortunately this just doesn't hit the mark - it's a bit dense and lacks that rich cheese flavour. It was a miss but everything else was great including the service. We had many attentive waitresses from the bar staff to the floor staff and had some great convos with them. This is a staple for the neighborhood and I wish we had more places like this!

We recommend making a reservation in advance, especially if you're planning a dinner visit. We like that they have a regular menu plus seasonal dishes, so there's always a reason to come back and try something different. Our biggest food highlights were the Corn & Mascarpone Pasta from the seasonal menu and the chocolate dessert. The pasta was definitely one of those dishes we kept hearing people talk about, so we had to try its seasonal version with lighter, slightly sweet cream. After trying it ourselves, we totally understood the hype. It was creamy and comforting, but somehow didn't feel too heavy. The chocolate dessert was another favourite. We loved the combination of chocolate and hazelnut, such a nice balance, and thankfully, it wasn't overly sweet. The best part was watching them pour the Frangelico liqueur crème anglaise over it. It was such a fun way to finish the meal. And we can't forget the cocktails. These are definitely not your basic drinks. The cocktail menu is creative, with interesting combinations and flavours. We'd recommend taking your time looking through the menu, because several drinks caught our attention. We also really liked the atmosphere. The dining room feels cozy and intimate, so we think June is a great spot for date night, a celebration, or just an adults' night out. Overall, June feels like a place we'd go when we want more than just dinner. They have good food, creative cocktails, a great atmosphere and a night out all in one. We'd definitely come back, especially to see what's on the next seasonal menu. Food: 5/5 Must Try! Service: 5/5 Kids: 1/5 Kids are welcome during earlier dining hours, but there are dining restrictions, so this is definitely more of an adult-focused spot. Presentation: 3/5 Parking: Metered street parking is available throughout the surrounding Cambie Street neighbourhood. Tips: * Reservations are highly recommended. * Bring your physical ID. There is an age restriction later in the evening. * The outdoor patio is also available when the weather is nice. Would I Return: Yes ‍

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.

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.
