“Orto Artisan Pasta is a small but truly special spot in North Vancouver that serves up some of the most authentic and memorable food we’ve had in a long time. What sets this place apart is their deep commitment to sourcing ingredients locally or growing them in-house and you can absolutely taste the difference in every bite.
We started with the Bad Dog Bread, which they share a facility with. Since the flour is milled in-house, the bread has a unique, rustic depth to it and it’s served with a knockout onion butter and tapenade. Such a strong start.
My wife, a vegetarian, ordered the Ricotta Gnocchi, which was light, flavorful, and perfectly balanced comfort food done right. I went with the Fusilli Chicken Alfredo with Spinach, and honestly, it was food-of-the-gods level good. Rich, creamy, but not overwhelming, just beautifully made.
We wrapped up with their Tiramisu, which came with a refreshing lemon zest twist that caught us completely off guard in the best way possible. It was a creative, elegant finish to an already incredible meal.
One thing to note: portion sizes might look modest at first glance, but don’t be fooled they’re incredibly satisfying and filling. It’s a testament to the quality and richness of the ingredients.
Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for Italian done right, with integrity, creativity, and serious flavor. We’ll definitely be back.”

“Came for a birthday on a rainy Sunday evening. The inside is beautiful and feels a bit more dressed up than the other options on the North Shore. We tried a few drinks from their Negroni menu and were impressed. The salads and squid we ordered for starters were fantastic. All of the pasta dishes were delicious. The portions were surprisingly large, which was nice. Overall a great spot at the bottom of lonsdale for some higher class Italian.”
Japanese • $$
“Really nice spot. I was struggling with the menu and was assisted very politely. I’ve never had sushi so fresh and delicious. You are attended to perfectly when you’re there. They opened the door for me and welcomed me and made sure I always had water. Cozy, friendly, professional. Really happy I came here.”
Seafood • $$
“Fishworks was recommended by my hotel. We sat at the bar since the tables were full and I'm glad we did because Tom, the bartender, conducted a master class in mixology and oyster shucking. These local oysters were the least expensive I have seen in years and very fresh. I'm sorry I only got 6. My main course was the paella which was excellent. Highly recommended.”

“At Chicko Chicken in Capilano, biting into their fried chicken is like experiencing a culinary fireworks show—each crunch explodes with flavor, sending your taste buds into a celebratory dance. The golden-brown coating is crispy and light, almost like a delicate armor, encasing the tender meat within. It’s a symphony of textures: the satisfying crackle of the crust giving way to the succulent, juicy interior, which seems to melt in your mouth like butter on a hot skillet.
The seasoning, with its perfect balance of savory spices, is the real hero of the dish. Each piece is marinated to perfection, allowing the flavors to infuse the chicken deeply, creating layers of taste that build with every bite. It's like unwrapping a gift where each bite reveals a new and delicious surprise—sweet, salty, and a subtle heat that lingers just enough to keep you wanting more.
Pair it with their homemade sauces, and you have a match made in heaven. Whether you go for the tangy, finger-licking goodness of their soy garlic or the spicy kick of the hot and sweet option, the sauces coat the chicken like a vibrant, flavorful glaze, making the experience even more indulgent. Chicko Chicken's fried chicken is not just food—it’s a masterpiece in fried form, showcasing how something so simple can be elevated to an unforgettable treat that you'll crave long after the last bite.”

“Went there 8:00 AM thinking they’d have fresh baked good. Ordered a croissant and a scone. They were at least 1 or 2 days old. Croissant was soggy. The cheese on top came off like rubber and the scone was so dry and stale, it was crumbling. On top of that it cost a fortune. Most definitely a skip. the latte was on par with a Tim Hortons regular coffee. I.e. not a latte at all”

“10/10. I’ve been to Italy 3 times, but Bravo Cucina is a contender for the best Italian food I’ve had. The pasta here is incredible. So are the scallops and prawns. The portion sizes are also very good. The service was fantastic, the staff and owner were very friendly and customer oriented. I can’t recommend this place enough, will be back (many times)”
Breakfast • $$
“The staff is so disrespectful! We arrived at this place around 12:35pm and the hostess said they would have a 35 min wait list. We said ok, got our names in the wait list and left. After 35 min I came back for a time check and the hostess said more 30 min wait. We have a toddler and 1 hour wait would be too much for the toddler. I asked to talk to the manager but the hostess said there was no manager on duty that day. I insisted since that wouldn't make any sense. After begging to talk to the person in charge, finally someone showed up. The manager was even more disrespectful than the hostess - she kept this ironic smile all the time and said that the hostess removed our names from the list by mistake but nothing could be done, not even offer us the top of the wait list and we had to go to the bottom of the list again. She also said they were doing the best they could - I left without saying a word since keep discussing was just pointless - when I walk out the door I just heard "and please don't come back". Just don't come here.”

Diner date with a girlfriend
We heard it gets busy so we went early on a friday night.
The menu had wonderful options
We shared a yam & avocado roll, some kind of a deep fried avocado and salmon roll, tuna & salmon sashimi, sunomono, and lots of their delicious tea
About $25 each, and we felt satiated but not crazy full. Great quality food.
The service was excellent and very attentive. Frequent tea top ups is my love language, and they hit the spot.
I can see why Hachi Hana is such a popular spot.
Free street parking around the area.
Clean restaurant and restrooms.”

“We love this cozy neighborhood spot - the coffee is always great, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is perfect. However, we were surprised to see a $3.75 charge for a soy babyccino, while the regular dairy version is $3. A 25% up-charge for a simple swap feels steep, especially for those with dairy allergies. We’d love to see more reasonable pricing for plant-based options! Thanks for considering!
Dietary restrictions: Very few plant based options and dairy free options come at a cost :/

“We had a beautiful lunch at the Cliffhouse restaurant while visiting the Capilano suspension bridge park. We ordered the Pacific codfish and chips and poke bowl and both were beautifully presented and delicious.
The service was exceptional with the staff very interested in our preferences and restrictions. I ordered a Spanish coffee, which was absolutely delicious and particularly warming on a cold rainy day.
The prices were extremely reasonable considering the quality of food and location. If you are looking for a beautiful sit down meal well visiting the park this is an absolute must stop.”

I’ve never had Ja Jyang Myun before, and i really enjoyed it !!! Although I don’t have much to compare it to, i thought the black bean sauce was awesome and the portion they give you is massive. also a very generous side portion of rice which came steaming hot.
i hope this to visit this restaurant in person sometime!”

We were starving and did not have a lot of time as we had to catch ferry. the staff person was very polite and understanding about it and our dinner was served super quick. Everything that we had ordered was delicious. My husband and I did not expect it to be this good. the staff person was very respectful. I ate good authentic Indian food after a long time. If you happen to be in North Vancouver and craving for Indian food, this is a place to go to. Nice family run restaurant. We will surely be there next time I am in North Van.”

“Food was fantastic,service was quick and the meal was delivered to the table in short order.
The only downside was the price was a bit high for the smaller portions. It might just be a Van City thing as I have been all over North America and most portions are larger and less expensive.
That said, the brisket rivals that in some of the best Texas smokehouses and I would recommend it to anyone.”

They move the restaurant to Marine Drive when construction hit the area. Service is excellent. Food is excellent. We are blessed to have such amazing food without having to cross the bridge.”

“I heard they changed the management, so we decided to visit on Sunday. There was live music, and we ordered Gourmet Sabzi, Tadik, Koobideh, and yoghurt shallot. The food was decent not extraordinary but good enough. The overall experience was nice. The service was a bit slow because of a large table, but everything was clean and organized.”

“To the pizza chef(handsome Italian Guy) at Roma Italian Restaurant—bravo! You are not just making pizza, you're creating art with fire, dough, and passion.
The balance of flavors was nothing short of brilliant. The salty elegance of the prosciutto, the freshness of the spinach, the creamy mozzarella, and that whisper of extra virgin olive oil.You brought harmony to every ingredient like a composer with a symphony.
But what impressed me most was the soul in the food. This wasn’t just technique, it was love. You can taste the respect you have for tradition, and the pride you take in every pie that leaves your oven.
To the chef: thank you. You’ve reminded me that pizza, in the right hands, can be something unforgettable.”

“The server made good recommendations. I asked questions and ordered what he recommended. Food was very good. Lamb Souvlaki dinner with extra tiger shrimp skewer. Grilled perfectly Greek style. Potatoes were delicious with home made tzatziki, Rice and Pita. I can’t believe I ate this much. I started with Spanakopita. Pastry was light and flaky. Not greasy at all. Well done!!! I recommend this place. My name is on this post. I stand behind my reviews.”

“I recently visited Poke Bar and was thoroughly impressed! The salmon was incredibly fresh, and the sauce was absolutely perfect, adding just the right amount of flavor to the dish. The portion size was generous, ensuring great value for the price. On top of that, the service was friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving a delicious and satisfying poke bowl!”

From perfectly Verde Noche pizza to rich, flavourful sauces, everything tastes like it was made with love and tradition. The ingredients are fresh, the portions are generous, and the presentation is always beautiful. The ambiance is warm and inviting, whether you’re there for a cozy dinner or a celebration with friends. The staff are genuinely kind and attentive. You feel more like a guest in someone’s home than a customer. They remember your preferences and go out of their way to make your experience special. If you’re looking for authentic Italian food and a place that feels like home, look no further. Highly, highly recommend! 👌🏻✨✨”

“I have the Ancho Chicken Poutine delivered about once every 6 weeks. It is always delicious. I also appreciate the fact that there are no napkins, plastic utensils etc. - not needed when you are eating at home. Finally a delicious chocolate chip cookie always comes free of charge with the order. Try the poutine - it's excellent!”

“The owner of this business apparently thinks it's okay to park their car in a bicycle lane, to load/unload their vehicle. This of course forces cyclists onto the busy traffic lanes and of course could be unsafe. "I pay taxes..." they say as their justification. Car is a jeep, licence plate CG8 86G. There was ample parking down the street, so why does this business owner think it was acceptable to block a traffic lane? would they do it in a regular car lane? Oh, wait...they had their hazards on so that makes it allllll okay. They probably park in handicap parking spots as well, because they're "only here for a minute..."”

“How have we lived here for six years and not tried Lionsgste pizza!? I looked up gluten-free pizza and LG pizza was the top of my search. We ordered a gluten-free pizza with vegan cheese and I was thoroughly impressed with the flavour and the amount of toppings! The staff are super friendly and very flexible allowing us to split the toppings half and half. My kids absolutely loved the pizza, which is very telling because they are quite picky eaters. I do have to say,I see people are commenting on the price of the pizza, but that’s what you pay for a good quality pizza. I mean the box was heavy, so to me that means quality ingredients. We will absolutely be back!!”

“Ming's is great. In a time where prices for food is sky high Ming's will give you a meal for $50 that all others want $70+. Consistent quality. Good picks are the wonton soup, deep fried prawns, and beef and broccoli (which conveniently happen to be in a set meal). Hope they stay in business forever.”

“My server Anahita exemplified attentiveness and kindness, bringing an incredible personality to the experience. The Lamb Shank was nothing short of amazing, and the food and service were among the best I have ever encountered. I happily awarded the Chelo 5 stars and wholeheartedly recommend it, as you will surely leave satisfied. Located at 1078 Marine Drive, North Vancouver, the restaurant offers ample parking. It is impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and provides very comfortable seating, whether in a booth or at a table.”
