Farmer's Apprentice Restaurant

This was our second time dining at this lovely restaurant! The second time was just as magical as the first! The entire experience is amazing. The service, the food, the atmosphere, and the wine and cocktails are all amazing. I can't wait to visit again. It's a must.

The tasting menu was a phenomenal experience. Amazing flavors and techniques were a revelation. Many dishes used a very nice, subtle heat to enhance the flavor profile without overwhelming. In particular, the lamb tartare and salmon were stand out dishes. The service was prompt and incredibly friendly.

The food was delicious. The steak had a superb balance of spice and the tast of meat. The fish texture was amazing and sauce was balanced. The dessert was unbelievably tasty.

This was our final meal in Vancouver before moving to Montreal. We spent many good meals here with friends and ourselves. Highly recommend. It was a good sendoff meal and we got to treat a friend who is a new customer!

We went for the Basta BBQ event. The food was really really good and top notch for flavors. But we were disappointed with the price point to what we received for portion sizes. Service was decent but seemed a little detached. That being said, I will probably go back to try out their own set menus. Some of them look really interesting.

Friendly staff, tasty food, chill vibes and always an amazing dining experience. One of our fave spots in the city!

We booked a table for 2 for our 10th wedding anniversary as we always treat ourselves and try new Michelin restaurants for our anniversary - this restaurant was specifically recommended by my patients. In the reservation, we made a note that we were celebrating a big anniversary and wanted to have the tasting menu. We were seated right away, and our servers were good (albeit slightly on the disingenuous side). The server checked to ensure we were indeed getting the tasting menu, as well as clarify any dietary restrictions. In terms of the food, the flavours were EXCELLENT - kudos to the chef and their excellence. However, the portions were quite small for a 7 course tasting menu and we left the restaurant hungry. For the price one would pay for that tasting menu, $140, I would have expected more as I compare Farmer's Apprentice to other Michelin Star, Michelin Green Star or Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurants that we have visited around the world. As such, we had to order pizza on the way home. With 2 rounds cocktails/wine, the total bill came up to almost $400! To add insult to injury, considering we were celebrating a big anniversary, this was not taken into consideration at all. For example, at other Michelin restaurants that we visited for our anniversary, we would have been offered a complimentary welcome drink/sparkling wine, or a dessert with "Happy Anniversary" written on it - there would have been some gesture and acknowledgement. These gestures are much appreciated and don't go unnoticed; it is what makes a restaurant top notch - when they go the extra step in acknowledging their guests on special occasions. In fact, the server didn't even mention or congratulate our anniversary when greeting us. It is just unfortunate that this happened considering this restaurant was recommended by patients, and picked out from the list of other Michelin Recommended restaurants.

Basra BBQ pop up was a 12/10. Best BBQ we've had in Canada, hands down. Perfect cook, flavor, portions, and hospitality.

Absolutely the best food I have had in a relaxed casual environment that allows you to just be yourself and enjoy spending time with friends enjoying wonderful food.

Honestly, one of the best meals we've ever had! A bit pricey, but you have to pay for top quality these days and this restaurant is top quality, using the best and freshest ingredients available. Can't wait to go back! Service was absolutely top notch.

Outstanding meal. We did the tasting menu and we're blown away by the creative and ambitious combinations of flavours. While the space is a bit plain, the food more than makes up for it. The wine list is bold and daring - not the stuff you see elsewhere.

Quaint little hidden gem. Always a fun and exciting food experience. One of my top new places to go for a food extravaganza. Wonderful service with fun and exciting staff and food.

Super flavourful, creative sharing (or not!) dishes accompanied by a well balanced, interesting wine list - and cocktail menu. Attentive, friendly service in a cozy atmosphere. Will definitely return!

My friend and I dined here recently. We ordered the sweet potato sourdough bread, the beet salad, the celeriac dish, the cauliflower dish, and the pear dessert. The food is delicious, the portion sizes are small. The pear dessert is amazing. The bathrooms are clean. The celeriac dish is OK but we preferred the cauliflower dish. We recommend ordering 3 to 4 dishes to share for two people because of the smaller portion sizes. The servers are quick and attentive, and the food is delivered quickly.
Our bill was $48 plus tip each.

My friend and I went there for dinner yesterday around 6 PM, the place was pretty empty, which was awesome. Our food arrived really quickly and everything was delicious. The portion sizes are small so I recommend ordering three or four things to share between two people. The pear dessert is so good, if we had more time, I would've ordered two more.  I definitely recommend this restaurant. The sweet potato bread, beet salad, cauliflower, dish, and pear. Dessert were all delicious. Plus their washrooms are very clean!
