Quiche looked uneatable and one taste confirmed it. Disappointing in a classy place! Crust like cardboard, burned on top and oily filling. Spoiled my day, sent it back and left me with no appetite for a replacement. Can’t believe that they served it.

Great spot. Classy. Food is good. Service was good, food arrived in about 10 mins. The prices are reasonable, not too noisy, or too busy. We sat inside as it was winter time. Will definitely return.
Vegetarian options: There were gluten free and veggie options.

A hidden gem with a beautiful patio. Their salads are fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. A great spot for a light, healthy meal in a cozy setting. Highly recommend for a delicious stop while you're enjoying the gallery. #

This is a hidden gem and I'm looking forward to sipping wine on the patio this summer. I had the mushroom Benny on brioche. The brioche was soggy but the flavor was nice. The side tots weren't crispy. My friend had the vegan tofu bowl and said it was great.

Good food and stunning views, especially if you can grab a seat outside. The outdoor seating really adds to the experience. Unfortunately, the service was lacking. The server took the menu away while I was still reading, which felt a bit rushed and unprofessional. Overall, the food and location were great, but the service could use improvement.

I met my parents here for brunch while they were visiting in September. It's located in the Art Gallery building, and can be accessed from the stairs outside, or by going in and taking the elevator if stairs are an issue. The weather was good and the patio was very nice, the inside is also very nicely designed as you would expect. I got the shrimp toast which I thought was pretty good (looks like it's no longer on the menu though), and my parents enjoyed their food too. It was a long wait for our food and then another long wait to flag down a waiter for the bill. I wasn't actually watching the time so I can't give exact numbers. The wait staff was very friendly though. I wouldn't choose them for a quick bite, but for a leisurely dining experience I'd visit again.

We stopped here for a quick drink and bite to eat before exploring the gallery on the main floor, and they had exceptional service and happy hour deals! They also have a beautiful patio space with lots of comfortable seating! It's definitely worth the visit when you're in the area!

1931 Gallery Bistro is such a delightful find in downtown Vancouver! Tucked inside the Vancouver Art Gallery, it offers a perfect blend of sophisticated and relaxed vibes, making it an ideal spot for brunch, lunch, or dinner.
The food here is fantastic. Every dish is made with fresh, organic ingredients, and you can really taste the quality. The cocktails are not only strong but also creatively crafted, adding a fun twist to your meal. Plus, the views from the patio are just stunning – it’s a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The staff are super friendly and attentive, making sure you have a great time. The only downside is that parking can be a bit of a challenge, but it’s worth it for the experience. Whether you’re planning a casual meal or celebrating something special, 1931 Gallery Bistro is a fantastic choice.

Fantastic food and amazing service, great beer and wine options. Local and ethically sourced.
Since 2021, this has been my spot for a variety of things.
First, Kegan is my favourite server. He has seen me arrive at 10:00 am, for brunch birthdays, for business meetings and each time myself and my guests are always happy!
This patio is a gem and I have been gatekeeping because Vancouver has a way of overdoing things but I am glad that the place has taken on a life of its own.
Over time the menu has changed and I can still appreciate the creativity - my go to drinks in the summer: Iced Oatmilk, Dirty Chai
Haven’t been here for happy hour yet but I am sure it is worth the after work social!

"We are regular customers at this restaurant, but our latest visit was very disappointing due to the service we received. Our server, Kegan, was noticeably rude. He walked away in the middle of taking our order and consistently ignored our table, while engaging extensively with other guests. We felt disrespected and the treatment was very unfair and discriminatory.

The establishment is on the roof of the museum, with a terrace with artificial flowers on the table. Overall it looks nice, the interiors are like a museum, the portions are small. Tasty but not enough

Do not order the cheeseburger. It seemed like a frozen beef burger with some queso like sauce that ran out of the burger. Too bad, pre-pandemic it was better.

an absolutely beautiful space, tastefully decorated, and of course, the deck is perhaps one of the best in the city.
