Oh Canada. You've stolen my heart since the first day I stepped foot onto your glorious and hospitable land. What twists the dagger of having to leave is how good the airport food is. I ran into a friend who was also going home from the same convention I was at, and we decided to get lunch together. Vino Volo seemed like a good choice, though it seemed too early to drink wine. I went with the pork tacos, which were absolutely incredible. The menu was short, but everything sounded tasty. The tacos were juicy, flavorful, and filling. If you're in this terminal of YVR, I would highly recommend them. I wish it wasn't so early in the afternoon. I would have chosen one of the many fine wines that Vino Volo offered. OH WELL, I guess I'll just have to get them next time I come back to Canada! read more

Talk about waiting at the airport in style! My flight was delayed for over an hour. I was in search somewhere to relax until my flight. That's when I came across Vino Volo. They had a nice selection for the food menu. I ordered the cheese platter, it was delish! And the wine menu was great! I decided to do the three wine samples for about $13. AMAZING! :D I highly recommend this place if you have time to kill in Vancouver airport. read more

Vino Volo is a nice oasis of calm in YVR. I had a 2 hour layover and wanted something to eat. I came across this place and was glad that there was an alternative to the usual pub/sports bar type places that are found in most airports. The decor is nice and there are comfy leather chairs. I looked at the menu and the options were definitely more interesting than the usual burgers, club sandwiches, etc. I decided to try the chick pea and chorizo chili. It was okay but not as hearty as the chili I am used to. It was kind of watery and mostly chickpeas with tiny bits of chorizo, kind of like a variant of chana masala. The portion was also really small. Not worth the ~$13 IMO. They do have nice wine flights that are reasonably priced. I didn't think i could drink that much wine (not good to be dehydrated before getting on a plane!), so I just had a glass of a California white for $9. This place is quiet and the service was prompt. It's a nice place to relax if you have some time to kill, but I wouldn't expect much from the food. read more

Vino Volo - Chickpea chorizo chilli - Wine Bars Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

I had a flight delay and was very happy to find a semi-decently reviewed option in the YVR airport. Though some of the menu items displayed here on Yelp are, sadly, no longer on their menu, I thought I couldn't go wrong with a glass of wine and a meat/cheese plate. Oof. Boy was I wrong. The wine arrived with a bug floating in it and the food arrived -- very small, barely tapas portions, btw -- delivered by a man with his mask around his chin. Not sure what the point is of that. Might as well not wear one. Except all the other employees, except the food deliverer, were. Very confusing. Anyway, I told them nevermind and sat at the gate eating a Starbucks sandwich. That's the end of my review. I chose a Starbucks sandwich over Vino Volo. Hope that helps your choices! read more

Poor services, servers not even making eye contact. agree with recent reviewer, pity that this location in in YVR in the International/ US side. read more

Really good food for an airport. Bread is fantastic and service is good. Still overpriced though.

For an airport restaurant it's pretty great, chill vibes and relaxing. The food was okay... wouldn't really recommend the chicken salad. I asked the server about what kind of chicken it was?? And he said it was regular chicken breast. But I found it was processed tasting. Not a fresh chicken breast. The service was really great! A lady next to me was having the pasta and said it was good, just a bit boring. I also ordered "cured" olives... but they didn't taste salty or squishy enough to be cure olives, they weren't bad, just not what I was expecting. Having said that, I over heard a few people at the bar, raving about how much they loved the pizza and wine!! Atmosphere is great!! read more

Have extra time to kill at YVR? Check out Vino Volo for some last minute BC wines. More of a 3.5 rating, but solid nonetheless. The prices are a bit high, but comparable to other airport prices. They have a large selection of wines, both from BC and elsewhere. We enjoyed the charcuterie board which went well with our flights of the Italian reds and BC reds. I then followed up with a glass of the Black Sage Cab Franc and my partner had another flight--of the world reds. He preferred the Italian flight. The black sage cab was a winner for me. read more

I'm always thrilled when I get to connect through Sea-Tac airport, and now I can add Vancouver to the list. The growing Vino Volo concept is great for airport stop-in meals and drinks; the wine flights they offer are great value, and you can pick up a bottle to go if you need a gift for your host (or even an incentive for you when you finally land at home). The menu is filled with little snacky treats, but my favourite of all time, every time, is the truffled mac & cheese. Made with Beechers cheese from Seattle's Pike Place Market, which is the best in the world. It has a hint of truffle oil, but isn't too musty and 'shroomy in taste. It is the perfect stopover pick-me-up. read more

REVIEWER # 34 I am a Huge Wino! There is nothing better than some good ol' wine, especially before boarding a flight! Vino Volo is a true Wino's best friend! Its wine bar that's located in some airports (after flying as much as I have, I start to notice them everywhere). It's a great place to kill time before the flight and they offer decent wine. They even offer some tasty food plates, such as: Roasted Tomato Soup, Pork Tacos, Brisket Sandwich and that good ol' Brie & Prosciutto Sandwich (I promise the food will hold you till you arrive at your destination). In addition to food plates, they also offer cheese plates to match with those tasty wines. Now moving on to the wine, shall we?! I love that they have an option to do a flight! Makes me SO happy! They have a wide range of wines: Red, White, and signature wines. They have them in groups depending on the type of wine and you have the option to taste all three for the price range of $12-18. The glasses of wines are pretty high (IMO). If I was you, I would do the taste all three and get the most for your dollar! My personal favorite, you may ask? Well, the BC Whites! I love me some White wine, honey and these wines (before my flight back to Cali) did not disappoint! My only request is that they should open longer!! (Cry face emoji). What if flights are delayed until after 8PM? You're out of luck, people! I feel bad for you because after 8PM, everything is closed in this terminal. I. MEAN. EVERYTHING! PS-Be prepared to be charged that good ol' GST and Liquor tax. It is everywhere in B.C, so don't get startled by it. read more

A bit pricey of a wine bar located inside the US terminal in the Vancouver International Airport. I love the fact that you're able to order different flights of wine here to be able to try new/different wines. The only downside is that the service is slow as the place is usually packed; I was only able to order 1 flight in the span of an hour. I was hoping to get a glass of sparkling as well but noticed they only had two options starting at $20/glass, whereas the flights started at $14. Nevertheless, it's a decent place (usually child free) to wind down before your flight! read more

Vino Volo - Flight $14 - Wine Bars Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

0 stars if I could Had a bunch of bags. We were waiting for someone else so decided to stop by for a drink. Ordered some food and a few glasses of drinks. The bartender comes and bring the drinks. I inform him after seeing it that we would have to move to a table since we won't have space. So I carried the meat board to the closest table when he just stood there watching me. Instead of then helping me carry the waters. He says. If a group comes in, you guys would have to move back. (The place was empty and had one other table). I said ok I would like to refund since I won't be able to enjoy anything. As I was packing up our stuff, the lady "manager" asks, do you want the bill? I asked do you want to give some customer service? Instead of ANY apology, she decides to laugh with the bartender saying "you see new people working at the airport everyday". Horrible service. Never expected a Canadian location of one of the best airport bars to be such a disappointment. read more

Amazingly bad service. I asked fir water for my wife, no one came I ended up serving ourselves water. We waited 10mins, no one came to serve us. When we left & explained why, they turned it around on us saying you should have asked us to come over. Seriously? read more

Good little layover killer was one of the only patrons for the duration of my meal. Had a nice little sandwich, don't expect their plates to tide you over for a long flight but tasty nonetheless. Tried a couple local beers (Four Winds Brewing Co.) loved my hockey talks with bartender Mateo. Definitely upped the class from the airport Chili's experience. read more

Convenient and mellow place to wait for a flight. Solid selection of wine - including local variety - and they have taster sets of 3. Reasonably priced. Good menu with fresh food. Smoked salmon crostini is delicious but it is a small plate. Charcuterie is best value. read more

Oenophiles rejoice! There's finally a place at YVR where you can enjoy a good selection of about 60+ wine that are almost evenly split between Old and New World which many are available by the glass. There are also pre-selected wine flights grouped by type (Red vs White), region (i.e. California), and price (i.e. Premium), but can also be purchase separately. Prices range from $12 to $20 for a flight of roughly 2ozs which I thought is reasonable especially at the airport. I saw a lot of open-bottles stocked on the bar and my assumption is that the turnover rate is high enough that they do not need to be stored properly. I sampled the House Signature Salmon Crostini, $10 for 3 pcs or $15 for 5 pcs, charcuterie platter, and a bowl of tomato soup. The Crostini chip was crisp, and the peppered salmon slice rest on top of a spread of crab meat mix which all together was quite delicious! The charcuterie platter came with 3 different types of deli (Proscuitto, spicy ham, spicy salami) , 5-6 slices of tiny baguette, and few pickled baby cucumbers and picked olives. The soup ($8) was the least favorite of them all...it was overly sour albeit I did see there were lots of finely diced tomato and herbs in there. It cools down very quickly so perhaps serving it in a hot bowl would help. I would go back for the wine but not for the food. Cheerio! read more

Great place to kill time at the Vancouver airport. Ordered the Cab Sauvignon. It was delicious. Service - Great. They could care less if you brought other restaurant's food into their place as long as you have some of their wine. We had some poutine fries from Burger King that went perfectly with the cab. read more

My favorite place to hang and have a cheese plate and smoked salmon crostini. Comfy seating very private, quiet and good service too. Truffle mac is heavy on truffle and Brie sandwich is really yummy. Lemon tart is big enough for two. read more

I always look at this restaurant in the airport but never had a chance to go. This time was early to the airport and I was like.. don't want to eat in fast food joints.. let me try this. Honestly, it was not bad.. I ordered truffle penne pasta ( with Gouda ) . It was 13$ with tax and tips around 17$. It was not huge portion. Decent portion. They had salads as well. Wines are Supposed to be good there but I just ordered food for the night. The taste was good. read more

Service is absolutely trash. The waitress was trailer trash ghetto rude, quite baffling to receive this type of restaurant service at an airport. She was sassy & talking back. It was very clear that she didn't quite understand her job, that as a server, her function is to provide service. Even mid-way when we were ordering, they didn't have salad, so we had find a different option & mid-way through the conversation, she says out loud, "oh okay, not ready!", and turns around and walks off. When the manager walks by he asks if we are ready, and I say "yes we were but she just walked off on us mid-way while ordering" and he responds "that's fine!". I was the only person of colour in the tiny restaurant and I take this personally because they did not treat anyone else with just disregard & disrespect. A glass of wine and a small pizza for $40 for garbage service, smh. That manager needs to get fired because he clearly doesn't know how to lead a good customer service team. read more

My new favorite place at YVR to sit and wait for a flight. After passing by this place a half dozen times, we wandered in yesterday when our flight back to LAX was delayed. So glad we did! We only had wine - I did a Tuscan flight and 2/3 wines were fantastic. The only miss was that one of the wines definitely needed a food pairing - but not awful by any means. Very quiet and relaxing bar to work on some recent Yelp reviews. Great service. Reasonable prices. The food looked really good and it's nice you can take it to go - will definitely partake the next time! read more

This is a nice spot to go to while waiting for a flight. Since it's in an airport gate, it's expectedly over-priced. But the service is quick, friendly and the food is good. I had the pork taco and it's better than a greasy burger from another place nearby. I'm happy with my wine and for a spot to plug in my laptop before my flight! read more

For an airport joint the food was as advertised. Got the mixed green salad with goat cheese. The vinegarette was just right in terms of acidity. Had a nice wine flight as well. Nice quick bite, service, and nice wine! read more

Very nice atmosphere. Good food. Reasonably priced for an airport restaurant. Nice wine selection. Good service. Pleasant staff.

The service is slow. The food is mediocre and overpriced. The offagato was crap (freezer burnt generic ice-cream and crap espresso)

Great spot for some drinks and snacks before our flight. Fast service and pretty good prices too. Glad to have finally stopped in for a drink, will definitely be back in future flights out of YVR. read more

This little wine bar was so adorable and cozy inside! I had amazing service. I just ordered a glass of wine. You can order wines by the glass or bottle and both menus have a large selection.The menu has very detailed descriptions of the wines and the service was excellent! Unfortunately, I didn't try any food items but regretted that decision as the menu and items looked delicious. read more

If you're stuck in airport this really is a great choice for food and wine and relaxation. I had professional service in a very nice atmosphere. I recommend Vino Volo when in Vancouver. I did not come for the wine but the selections are broad based. read more

A wine bar - in an airport! Awesome! We had a long layover in Vancouver, on our way to the States. We were thrilled to find somewhere to relax for a few hours. Atmosphere is decent - especially if you remember you are stuck in an airport. Granted, being in an airport, prices are on the higher end. Skip the pasta. It's really overpriced, especially for the quality. The rest of the food seems to be a far better value. (Children are welcome, if accompanied by an adult.) read more

Stopped in for lunch since my flight was delayed. The atmosphere was pleasant, at least once a profusely swearing male paid his bill after unsuccessfully trying to impress two women at the bar. I ordered the Tuscan chicken sandwich and it was decidedly underwhelming for $11. My suspicion is that the whole thing was microwaved given the texture of the bread and the flavour of the chicken. It came with three gherkin pickles - an odd accompaniment. The wine flight was decent though rather pricey for three taster-sized pours. I requested water but it never arrived. Service was promptly and friendly, aside from aforementioned water issue. read more

I never really look forward to having a meal inside an airport. At most, I hope that the food is at least bordering decent. Vino Volo was a pleasant surprise! Pricey (as you would expect in an airport) but food was quite enjoyable (not as you would expect in an airport). Sandwiches are available in half sizes and is enough to satisfy. All around good quality food. Of special mention is their belgian chocolate torte. I love love love chocolate but at the same time I am very picky about chocolate desserts. Their torte is - without question - REALLY GOOD. I visit Vancouver once in a while and you'll be sure to see me in Vino Volo while waiting for my flight to board. Tip: They allow you to bring non-alcoholic drinks into the restaurant if you're not a wine drinker. read more

Great wine flights/ samplers. Civilized place to drink wine, enjoy Wi-Fi, and wait for your flight. The evening we were there, we ordered roasted lamb meatballs that were over done. They were sort of tough, and not very appealing. The pesto on the meatballs was also overwhelming. But the salmon crostini (on little bruschettas) was delicious. read more

Decent place to grab a bit and a drink before your flight. I tried the BC red wine flight and enjoyed that, along with a Brie and fig jam sandwich which was really good. I am a huge Brie fan!! Items are a bit overpriced but that's standard airport fare, plus there was nothing else appetizing enough in the US terminal. Service was really quick but I expect that depends on flight traffic, I probably got lucky there. read more

Not very impressed with either the quantity or the quality of the food. Packing your own lunch is definitely a better option. The tomato soup was good. The penne was rich but generally OK. The tacos were OK. Tuscan chicken sandwich was pretty good. read more

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Vino Volo considering airport food can usually disappoint. Had the red and white BC flights along with the Charcuterie. Didn't love the onions that came with the Charcuterie but everything else was very delicious. Also had the chocolate mouse cake for dessert.
