“First time dining at Kypriaki Restaurant, and we had such a great time! The food was delicious, and the lunch deal of the 1/2 Chicken Souvlaki was well-plated. The portion was spot on. The flavors of the meal and the tenderness of the chicken was on point. Our server was so pleasant and welcoming, which made the experience even more memorable. We'll try to come back sometime soon! Definitely give these guys a try - you won't regret it. *There's 90-minute parking at the back of the restaurant“

“Long and gushing review incoming. Stick with me!

When planning our wedding we knew what was most important to us. Take everything we love: wine, cocktails, great food, supporting local, and combine that with the goal of wanting our event to feel like one big dinner party with all of our favourite people.

That's exactly what we got hosting our wedding at Dachi. They transformed the patio into such a beautiful, tasteful outdoor venue. It was exactly the vibe we were hoping for.

Beyond the incredible food and drinks, every single staff member made the night so fun and special. The overall sentiment from our group was that the team was extremely attentive, accommodating, kind, professional, and genuinely friendly.

Sarah, Dachi's manager and co-owner, goes above and beyond. The support she offered leading up to and throughout the evening was far beyond anything we'd ever expect from a restaurant venue. I felt like we got a bonus wedding planner out of the deal.

I have literally not one tiny complaint. Everything was perfect and we're so thankful!

Highly, highly recommend Dachi for any occasion. We've celebrated New Year's dinners, girls' nights, date nights, many glasses of wine, and now our wedding.

Thank you, Sarah, and the entire Dachi team for the perfect celebration. And thank you to the owners for creating all of our favourite neighbourhood spots. Dachi, Plain Jane Ice Cream, and Tall Shadow Bakery all make family life in East Van that much better. ❤“

“A true hidden gem for Italian food!

Conclusion first: the food is much better than the drinks.

Here are the dishes I enjoyed:

⭐ Burrata & Rhubarb – The creamy, milky burrata paired with sweet-and-sour rhubarb was such a pleasant surprise. We ended up ordering the focaccia to soak up every last bit.

⭐ White Anchovy Toast – Not fishy at all! The anchovies were tender and juicy with a bright lemony flavor. The vegetables underneath added a nice fresh touch.

⭐ Vitello Tonnato – I’m used to veal being breaded and fried, but here it was cooked sous vide, making it incredibly tender and juicy. The only downside was that the tuna sauce tasted a little fishy when eaten on its own.

⭐ Ricotta Agnolotti – I originally ordered this because of the spot prawns, but the agnolotti completely stole the show. Each bite was filled with creamy ricotta and was absolutely delicious.

The only dish I wouldn’t order again:

⭐ Ling Cod – The portion was much larger than what you usually get at other restaurants, but unfortunately the fish was quite tough in texture. It tasted like previously frozen fish. The clams were enormous, but they were a bit chewy as well.

🍸 Cocktails: Overall, they were just average, though the prices were reasonable (all under $20). My least favorite was the Fumo Dolce. It was described as being infused with peach tea, but the flavor tasted quite artificial. None of the cocktails were particularly memorable.

Overall, we had a great experience. The service was warm, the atmosphere was lovely, and the food really impressed us. I’d definitely come back to try the seasonal menu when it changes.“

“Love Bar Tartare! One of my new favorite restaurants/wine bars — absolutely perfect for a casual night out with friends. The staff were so kind and I found it very convenient being able to just order whenever you were ready up at the counter. The rotating chef/menu concept is fantastic and I love that they typically source local, in-season ingredients. Not to mention the vibe is just unmatched both indoors and outside on their patio.

The current menu by Alan Older was absolutely fantastic! I truly wish I could’ve tried everything. We had the butter lettuce salad w/ rhubarb + mustard vinaigrette, half roast chicken w/ potatoes + lemon jus, asparagus + mint + parm tagliatelle, and the cheesecake. Everything was super simple but so incredibly well excecuted. The absolute perfect spring meal! The wine options are also always great!

Would highly recommend!“

“Really good waffles and really good lattes“

“Our last night meal in Vancouver, a great way to end a fantastic holiday“

“Lovely atmosphere, delicious food, polite staff and a pleasant music. Really nice place!“

“Shayla, our server, was absolutely amazing! She explained the menu thoroughly and made excellent recommendations that we were glad to try. The entire experience was exceptional, and the food was perfect from start to finish.We had the red wine braised short rib of beef from Double R Ranch — it melted in my mouth and the flavor was out of this world. We started with the scallops and smoked bison tartare, both of which were outstanding.For other mains, we enjoyed the wood grilled lamb, the Hank tenderloin steak, the Wagyu beef picanha from Brant Lake Farm in Alberta, Blue Dot Beef in Prince Edward Island striploin (10 oz). They were all amazing. The Blue Dot had incredible flavor — juicy, tender, and hands down the best steak I’ve ever had. Every steak was beautifully cooked and packed with flavor.We finished the evening with trying ALL THE DESSERTS! The baked Alaska was beautiful and delicious! The ice cream trio was so creamy and rich. The creme brûlée was smooth and dreamy. The chocolate cake was moist and perfectly matched with the passionfruit sauce. The fam favorite was definitely the cheesecake… we were all wanting it! Perfect flavor not too sweet and very smooth. Blackberries were a perfect match. We also had the donuts.. don’t forget about those. Im still dreaming of them. Highly recommend — a truly unforgettable meal!“

“Rude server - My wife's first experience going out after giving birth. The male server peaked over her shoulder while she paid and made a rude comment when he saw she tipped 'only' 15% on a $20 cocktail. Completely ruined her night. Train your staff better.“

“Great atmosphere, great staff , delicious food and amazing music on Saturday nights Definitely recommend“

“My friend and I went to this restaurant for happy hour and the food was amazing. The calamari was the best we ever had. And our server Gaga was very friendly, attentive and an excellent server. We highly recommend coming to this restaurant. Ask for GaGa!“

“Staff friendly food delicious“

“Was here with a friend tonight for happy hour. Amazing food and ambience. Staff was super chill. Bartender / Server was great. Manager (pretty sure he was the manager) came over and introduced himself to us. I’m definitely coming back. 5 stars, no question 👌🏾“

“We hosted our wedding weekend welcome party at Courtside and it was the greatest celebration imaginable! The food and drinks were fantastic, the decor and music perfectly to our vibe, but most of all the staff were joyful, accommodating and went above and beyond to curate the best party ever. If you love sports and good times you will LOVE this bar. Our friends and family were blown away but the incredible assortment of memorabilia and the high quality of everything inside. We definitely kept their bartenders busy but they worked with a smile on their faces and so much energy all night.“

“Great experience if you are craving meat!
Large pieces. Great sauces.
I also loves the atmosphere. Nice casual music. The seating is pretty spread apart so not too cramped. Good views of the street. Would definitely come again.“

“Amazing French Restaurant. Every dish we ordered was 10/10 and I will be craving the Pommes Dauphine till next visit.
There was live music as well which really enhanced the atmosphere.
Will be recommending this place to all my friends.“

“We had a great dinner there. All four dishes were fantastic, but I have to recommend the fettuccine with salmon and garlic cream sauce. It's perfectly located downtown, in a very quiet setting. Was not very busy when we were there so didn't probably need a reservation.“

“The food is yummy, the service is great, and a good price.“

“Second time here and it's just as good as the first! Our server Zee took wonderful care of us and the wine recommendations from their sommelier were all exceptional as well. The meal was one of those outstanding experiences where attentive, friendly and professional service coincided with delicious dishes and atmospheric ambience. It was the right choice to go on a Monday night since the restaurant is not quite as busy so the noise level was energetic but not boisterous. I dislike restaurants that are so busy and loud that you have to strain to hear your dining mates. Many restaurants in the city just don't do enough about the acoustics which hugely impacts the dining experience. Every dish we had was outstanding and had a real consistent point of view that line up with the restaurant's intentions. The highlights were the crispy eggplant, trout and the duck confit. The delicate accompaniments with the different textures and veg elements really elevated the main proteins and went so well with the wine suggested. We will return for more.“

“Went to Frankie's for the first time last night before Lion King , it was fantastic. Good service by Neil, he gave excellent recommendations from the menu. The restaurant was clean, and the food was amazing. Highly recommend“

“Africa / Kenya / Ugandan Shia Imami Ismaili fusion food ! Delightful tastes and exceptionally clean restaurant with , lovely service and talented owner Chef on site !

“I brought my mom to Published on Main on a mother-daughter night out. The food was amazingly delicious, and service top-notch. We had a memorable night together sharing love and a wonderful culinary experience. Will definitely return for more!“

“Fabulous place, great staff, great service, Thank you“

“Killer drinks - classics and some really unique ones. All nicely balanced and properly mixed (love Satoshi's real deal Tokyo hard shake 👍🏼). Delish food, great drinks and a cosy and fun atmosphere. Always on point. A definite fav. 5/5“

“My wife and I went in at lunch hour. I had the pulled pork sandwich and she had the club. We both enjoyed them a great deal and thought the serving size was also good for the price. Lady at the counter was friendly. Would definitely go back again“

“The best wings EVER. Really get some on July 2nd“

“Really good food Authentic Vietnamese“

“Very authentic Italian food. Great service. Good pricing. Nice atmosphere.Very good weekend brunch with a nice Italian version of Eggs Benedict.“

“Check our daily specials “Delicious”“

“Really great modern Italian restaurant. Everything I have had here is good. The vibe is comfortable for conversations.

The meatballs have currants in them that make them sweet in a way I really appreciate. The spaghetti with meatballs is one of my regular weekly meals when I have a regular appointment in the area 🫶😌🍝 I get the bolognese sometimes too.
The pizzas are awesome and their forno oven is 👌 The ingredients are high quality and the crusts are delicious, soft inside, and the perfect amount of crusty.
For dessert: The gelato is great. The chocolate budino pudding is tasty. The seasonal desserts are usually nice too.

Marius is the best super-server. The service is always really good and the right amount of attentive and friendly without being intrusive or annoying ever.

It’s mostly an older crowd of locals who are regulars and work lunch folks. The happy hour is good. The patio in the summer is lovely too.“

“What a great restaurant..came across it while shopping and enjoyed the happy hour. Great food, ambience and service.“

“Great place for the kids to be outside - and the adults - and enjoy the beautiful setting. Food was great. Our kids loved the Mediterranean Power Bowl. We loved the wings, fried pickles and pizza. Mac and Cheese was loved by some, not all, but those who did said it was some of the best. It’s a little “drier” than some. Chris, our server, was so friendly and helpful. We enjoyed him. (Some of the pics are the area - great for walking after dinner.“

“If you're looking for a change from sports bars, cheap wines and fried food - this is your place. A varied menu - think carpaccio, grilled squid, warm potato salad, risottos, oven roasted meatballs etc plus an extensive range of cocktails, spirits and some excellent wines at reasonable prices. Highly recommend. Also open during day for breakfast and coffees.“

“Good food. Decent service“

“Great staff great food a secret gem !“

“My boyfriend an I were looking for a place to dine while walking around Gastown when we came across Al Porto. We entered and where greeted by the waiter SIXTO. He made us feel very welcomed and took care of us. We had the lasagna which was excellent and the calamari which we found to be very chewy and tough. Not properly prepared. We ordered Molson Canadian beer and where told that we don’t carry it. SIXTO recommended we try The Kokanee beer which was comparable. We where offered the dessert menu but declined and had another Kokanee. Overall experience was good with exceptional service from our waiter. Will defiantly return to this restaurant next time we are visiting Vancouver.“

“We truly enjoyed the foods and the restaurants when we had dinner here the other night. Foods were fresh and the prices were quite reasonable. The service was good too. And we really appreciate the server that served us that night, I think her name is Karen. Will bring my whole family to eat here again soon.“

“Great friendly quality service.“
