Such a lovely evening with my dearest Caitlin and her love… chef of the night #brianluptak You won’t believe your eyes when you see the dishes and you can’t imagine how a cabbage can be that much delicious…
We went for brunch. The food, atmosphere and service were amazing.I was just surprised at how little food was on the plate. The portions feel more like tapas, so be prepared to order 2 dishes per adult.
Not gonna lie – Vancouver has a lot of overhyped food and restaurants in our opinions but this restaurant was absolutely perfect.From service, to the menu, atmosphere, decor, knowledgeable staff, good value, cleanliness and more – we were impressed. We actually felt like we were dining out as a treat rather than ‘bus your own plates’ kind of establishment. The only reason why it wasn’t 5/5 was my preference of a larger portion and a lack of a place for my coat (not a deal breaker but it being on the back of my chair had it touching the floor). We got two main courses, and if you come hungry – and usually eat a lot, it probably won’t be enough. I do like that their menu isn’t overwhelming/large, and the server was extremely well versed in it and the ingredients. The food tasted fresh, vibrant flavours, unique combinations (and for someone who’s still struggling to eat less meat, I didn’t miss meat one bit!) Food came out quickly.Washrooms were clean and maintained, spacious, again – nicely decorated. They even had a recording of a bird chirping playing in the background!I actually can’t wait to make a point of coming back here to try what else they have on their menu.
Expect to wait because this place is small. We came here for Sunday brunch and waited for 20 minutes for a table of 4. It took them some time to clean the table and sat us down. Waited for another 5 minutes for our server (which is also the hostess) to give us water (complimentary sparkling water btw). Another 5 minutes for her to come take our drink order, another 5 minutes to get our drinks, and another 5 minutes to finally take our food order. That was already 20 minutes past we sat down. Unfortunately the place is so small that they probably won’t be able to hire another server but I would strongly suggest they hire someone at the bar just to make the drinks much faster and help out the waitresses a bit. Food was not bad (or maybe because we were just too hungry anything would taste good) but portion is a bit small.
Excellent vegetarian food in a very tight space. Often had a wait out the door that was aggravating and we don’t go as much because of it. I really like the halloumi dish and they have a decent selection of whiskies.
I. Love. This. Restaurant. Came here two years ago for the first time on my birthday. I was the only vegan out of a table of 9 and everyone really enjoyed their meals. Had such a great time, being vegan this place is a dream. Beautifully presented whole food without processed/refined, gross fake meat ingredients.Recently came back for the second time this month and it did not disappoint at all.Food: always amazing. They just know how to cook everything just right, use herbs and other foods for flavour, everything is always seasoned well. It’s like thoughtful, fancy vegan/vegetarian in a nice but casual setting. Look at my photos and you’ll see.It’s always busy and they don’t take reservations unless it’s for 7 or more I believe. So arrive when they open or be prepared to wait.I can’t wait to go back when I’m in Van next.
Man alive! This place is amazing. Words won’t do it justice, so my advice would be to experience it yourself. I would even go as far as to suggest it is the ideal place for a first date. Why? Because if your date manages to find fault with any aspect of their dining experience, there should be no second date. Simple as that.
