Went here for dinner and had a good experience overall. The food tasted great and the service was friendly. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere for a quiet dinner. Prices are a little high, but the quality was good.

We had such a wonderful experience during our recent brunch visit. Everyone was incredibly warm and welcoming, from the person who seated us, to our server Jake, and the chef, who thoughtfully customized dishes to make them vegetarian for us. That level of care truly made our visit special.

A big thank you to Jake for making our brunch so memorable. We’ll definitely be back soon

Went here for Valentine's Day one day after being diagnosed with celiac disease. The staff were so helpful and guided me on what I could and couldn't eat and let me know the kind of questions to ask when dining at restaurants. I was very nervous about going to a restaurant with a newly diagnosed allergy but the staff were incredible and I felt so well taken care of. Highly recommend!

Never regret to have lunch over there, and I think I made the right choice. The food were fresh and tasty, we ordered spaghetti, risotto and veggie burger with fries, everything including the drinks were tasting fabulous. Good job, guys!

It was our first time here and so I didn't know how this restaurant worked. I scheduled the only res that was available at 2:30pm, which lined up perfectly with when the Festival of Lights started, giving us 1.5hrs to drink/eat. I figured we could take our time, but immediately the waitress was rushing us to order. Not her fault, as she explained the kitchen was about to switch everything over for their dinner service and if we didn't order before 3pm we'd essentially be SOL for food. Had I known, I would have 100% chosen another restaurant in the area. The lack of food options at 230pm.. we both ended up with mediocre cobb salads. That and two glasses of wine came to $90 before tip. We ended up getting out of there well before 1.5hrs, arriving to the Festival of lights wayyy too early, standing around waiting for it to get dark out. Anyway, heads up to anyone who chooses their 230pm res in the future 😐

Excellent food atmosphere and friendly workers. I go to this restaurant quite a bit the only thing I highly recommend is .. new bathroom vanity and plumbing one toilet would not stop flushing and I felt bad wasting all that water! They also need cleaning more frequently maybe a checklist with date and time they were last cleaned. 😊😉

Absolutely delicious food in a gorgeous setting, next level dining at extremely fair prices!
I never leave reviews, but this place is just such a Gem truly next level from the ambiance of the entry to the lobby to the outdoor dining area to the professional and friendly service. What a wonderful setting it totes the feeling of elegance in fine dining yet Comfort in casual.

Nestled in a stunning garden setting, this restaurant offers a dining experience that’s as memorable for its food as it is for its surroundings. Nature is quite literally part of the ambiance—don’t be surprised if a curious bee or two stops by to say hello. Just consider it part of the open-air charm!

The baby back ribs are the undeniable star of the show—fall-off-the-bone tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The sauce hits that perfect sweet-savory balance without overwhelming the meat. The mixed green salad was a refreshing counterpoint: crisp, vibrant greens topped with prawns grilled to smoky, tender perfection.

If you’re feeling adventurous, the Spanish coffee is a bold way to end your meal. It’s definitely not for the faint of heart—brandy-forward, aromatic, and warming in every sense.

Between the garden vibes and standout dishes, this place offers a uniquely relaxed, slightly wild (in the best way) dining experience. Bring your appetite—and maybe a little bug spray.

Highly recommend Shaughnessy Restaurant! We got married at Shaughnessy Restaurant and go back every year to celebrate on our anniversary. Had an excellent dinner tonight served by Milan and Terri.

Disappointed to hear the City of Vancouver doesn’t want to renew the lease this year, hopefully it gets sorted out and the legacy of Shaughnessy Restaurant can continue!

This is an amazing restaurant with great staff and delicious food.

I’ve been here twice in the last month and both times have been wonderful…good food, good service and lovely atmosphere. Also, the price is great with 25% off for a member and one guest.

Shaughnessy Restaurant is one of Vancouver’s most beautiful wedding spots, tucked away inside VanDusen Botanical Garden. As Vancouver wedding officiants, we’ve seen many venues and this one stands out for its natural beauty and flexible spaces.

Couples love the variety of options here, including a larger and sheltered patio that’s ideal for wedding ceremonies with more famimy and friends, a smaller patio that works perfectly for intimate gatherings, and a stylish indoor space with large windows looking out over the lush gardens. No matter the size of your celebration, from micro weddings to larger groups, there’s a space that fits beautifully.

Here is another bonus: it’s just right inside VanDusen Botanical Garden which gives couples and guests the chance to enjoy one of Vancouver’s most stunning backdrops before or after their event!
