  I love that the menu constantly changes! A great places for an intimate but social meal. It is easy to order a little of everything if you just can’t decide! Everything is delicious they regularly have a different feature cocktail that is always unique

  The place is small – a mere 25 seats.But small can be amazing and this is the place for amazing food, service and drinks. Dishes are of the tapas variety, a style we love and enjoy.A relative newcomer, it opened about three months ago, it is adjacent to its sister restaurant, Farmers Apprentice, another star on Vancouver’s culinary scene.All the dishes are a perfect combination of texture, flavour and taste, beautifully harmonized to make your taste buds tingle in anticipation of the next dish.And one of the little extras is that you can enjoy this glorious food at 50 per cent off, if you go between 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Our baquette style bread was crunchy on the outside and moist and fluffy on the inside. Freshly churned butter with a dab of sea salt was that extra, but important, touch. The beef tartare with beets was light and refreshing, the beets slightly acidic, cut into richness of the beef. Mushroom ceviche, how novel, consisted of a medley of mushrooms, thinly sliced with yuzu and a sweet tasting sorrel granita, was quite something. The woodsy tasting mushrooms with that granita was a wonderful, delightful combination. The burrata cheese, smooth and creamy, with almost crunchy peas; tasted as if you had just picked them, and the sprouted wheat berries, added up to a spectacular dish. Marinated anchovies nice and briny, with fennel ( great crunch) and superb little nuggets of olive oil croutons, was terrific. Both desserts were were fabulous. The olive oil cake with grapefruit sorbet, lemon curd, was a perfect combination of flavours and tastes, rustic, sweet, tart and creamy. A bing cherries clafoutis with crime fraiche and two delightful and refreshing cherry fizz drinks, had you wanting more. goo.gl

  Grapes & Soda is Vancouvers first natural wine and cocktail bar. Opened by Chef David Gunawan and Dara Young at Farmers Apprentice, Grapes and Soda which features natural, organic and biodynamic wines and artisanal cocktails paired with seasonally inspired small plates. Grapes and Soda is located on West 6th, next to Farmers Apprentice and Cadence Cycling Studio.The team is led by Farmers Apprentice GM and Sommelier Hao-Yang Wang and Manager Paul McCluskey as well as Chef Ron Shaw (former Bishops Executive Chef) and Bar Manager Satoshi Yonemori (formerly of Wildebeest and The Diamond).Being an extension to Farmers Apprentice and the Farm-to-Table concept, the construction by Milltown Contracting focuses on plenty of reclaimed wood, a short bar and a long banquette.We spent an evening over natural fine wines and seasonal dishes that are fresh and farm-to-table focused. Smoked Sockeye Salmon Salad: with mizuna (Japanese mustard), ikura, strawberry, and rhubarb juice dressing. A fresh introduction to summer highlighted by salty salmon caviar and a single fermentation champagne with subtle carbonation.Puzelat-Bonhomme Petillant Naturel Rose 11, Loire, FRMarinated anchovy 10: with fennel, celery, olive oil croutons.

  Overpriced cold red wine. The wine selection is limited to French and Italian with the option of a 3 oz or 5 oz glass at the same price you would pay for a 6 or 9 oz glass. The wine was over chilled and over priced. Food was mediocre and over priced. Four people, some appetizers, a couple of glasses of wine each cost $173!! No one in our party would recommend this wine bar nor will we return.
