“Excellent food and wine in a cozy, friendly establishment“

“First time trying this place — loved the patio! The area wasn’t too busy, super cozy even though it was a bit windy. The staff were really friendly! The chef rotates, and we got the ceviche — it was okay, but the vibe totally made up for it. Would definitely come back to try more food! Overall 9/10 🤍“

“Highly recommend Wildlight Kitchen + Bar. Chef Warren Chow is one of the best chef's in the city! Whether its a special occassion or just a night out, its a great spot to visit.“

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

“Really good waffles and really good lattes“

“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!“

“Staff friendly food delicious“

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

“I recently had dinner at June on Cambie, and it turned out to be a delightful culinary experience. The food here stands out for its inventive approach that builds on classic French cuisine, blending traditional techniques with fresh, creative twists. Each dish felt thoughtfully composed, with layers of flavor that showed real attention to detail.

One of the highlights for me was the pasta, clearly influenced by French richness rather than typical Italian simplicity. The sauce was deep, buttery, and intense, with a texture that clung beautifully to the noodles. It’s not the light, olive-oil based kind of pasta you’d find in a trattoria; rather, it had a rich and creamy profile that leaned closer to a refined Parisian kitchen. Personally, I usually prefer a cleaner, more Italian-style flavor, something brighter and lighter but I can absolutely appreciate the craftsmanship here. It’s a matter of personal taste, and I imagine many diners would find this style incredibly satisfying.

Service was attentive without being intrusive, and the ambiance struck a warm yet sophisticated tone, making it a great spot for both date nights and gatherings with friends who enjoy good food.“

“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!“

“There is much that can be said about this restaurant. It's quaint, it's small, it's everything a new age restaurant should be. To give you a little background of my qualifications. I am classically trained in French technique. I have worked in the highest of restaurants let alone Michelin but I have also worked in the lowest. When I go to a new place I always look for the new, the innovative. This restaurant alone touched my soul. Gave me dreams of the next dish, the next wine. Watching the Executive Chef work was utterly relaxing. While I am not from BC it is the one thing from my trip that makes me want to come back. It would be a shame for anyone to miss this little gem while they are visiting.“

“Fantastic experience, very friendly and amazing service. The food was outstanding combined with an outstanding service.
We were on the Patio with our two Westies and we enjoyed the original italian hospitality.
I can recommend this restaurant 100%“

“Honestly the food was fine and service were great! We got the tasting menu ($75/person) and tried 8 different dishes. We did mention needing an accommodation for no spicy dishes as I don’t eat spicy.

The only reason I docked one star is because of amount of food for value. As a petit lady this was filling enough for me but my partner was definitely not full. We felt that had we known about the selection of dishes within the tasting menu we would’ve preferred to order a la carte, and still come out to a total less than what we paid.

Recommendation for restaurant would be to ask diners in advance if there was any dish they’re dying to try to ensure it’s included in the menu (I.e., we asked about a dish when discussing the menu and was disappointed it wasn’t included for us).“

“Great wine tasting room with perfect pairings in a cool, rustic setting. A must if you enjoy good wine and service.“

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

“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.“

“A solid 5-star experience at Courtside! My friend and I sat at the bar, and despite the basketball theme, the staff was kind enough to switch a TV to the Canucks game for us, which was a thoughtful touch. We took full advantage of the all-day happy hour—amazing deals and delicious drinks. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Great atmosphere, great service, and great food. We’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend!“

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

“I’ve visited this restaurant many times, and it’s always such a pleasant experience. The interior feels upscale yet relaxing, and all the staff are friendly and welcoming.

The “Holly Cow” platter is an amazing selection of meats — without a doubt the best taste you can find in Vancouver.

They also offer individual BBQ sets and counter seating, which makes it easy to come alone, while the private table seating creates a wonderful atmosphere for families or friends to enjoy together.

I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!“

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

“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 👌🏾“

“Nice ambience, tasty cocktails and good service. The appetizer “potato pillows” were delicious and not greasy. The vegetarian ravioli dish was well presented and it tasty yummy per my friend. The duck was not tender enough though. I ordered my latte extra hot but it was cold. However, the server quickly gave me a really hot one upon informing her. Overall, it was a nice evening spent at the restaurant. Thanks!“

“As someone who cannot eat gluten, I was so pleasantly surprised by how many gluten free options are at Il Nido. I had the gnocchi dish with prawns and it was amazing. All service staff were lovely as well, as was the atmosphere. Will definitely come back!“

“Absolutely LOVED their plant based menu! Very much recommend the oyster mushroom “calamari” 😍“

“We had a wonderful dining experience at Croquette Brasserie. Our waiter was both helpful and charming, adding a personal touch to the evening. We started with the moules-frites, sharing the mussels and fries as an appetizer. The dish was outstanding—perfectly cooked mussels paired with crisp, golden fries. For our main course, we chose pasta sourced from their sister restaurant, Fiore Famiglia, which happens to be our long-time favorite neighborhood Italian spot. As expected, the pasta was impeccable, showcasing the quality and flavors we’ve come to love. A special highlight was the crème brûlée, torched at our table by the waiter. Watching the caramelized sugar form into a crackling, golden crust was such a treat, and the result was as delicious as it was entertaining. The ambiance was made even better by live music from "Van Django," an incredible violin and guitar duo. Their lively and romantic performance elevated the evening to something truly magical. Croquette Brasserie is a gem we can’t wait to visit again!“

“I love this place. Kind staff amazing food. Amazing service. One of the few places where you always feel welcome.“

“Definitely a must-visit, cozy Greek restaurant in the heart of the old Greek neighborhood in Kitsilano. The food was full of authentic Mediterranean flavors, bringing back wonderful memories. The sea bass was outstanding, fresh and flavorful as if it came straight from the Mediterranean. We also enjoyed perfectly fried atherines and gavros, along with a crisp, finely chopped lettuce salad that was incredibly refreshing. The tiganopsomo, loaded with cheese and served with a side of creamy taramosalata, was another highlight. From the meat selection, the pancettas, juicy keftedakia, and were absolutely delicious. The grilled octopus paired beautifully with a glass of ouzo to finish the meal.

They offer an impressive selection of authentic Greek wines, but this time we opted for Aperol spritzes, which were light and refreshing. Next time, I am looking forward to trying their wine selection along with their famous meat platter.

Service was warm, genuine, and friendly, making me feel like I was back in Greece.

A true gem in Vancouver. 5/5 stars without a doubt.“

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

“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“

“Excellent service, relaxed ambience, and amazing food! What more could one ask for?“

“Came to celebrate a grad and enjoyed my time here. We were in for lunch on a weekday and it was pretty quiet.

Good service, and servers recommendations was good. Water was refilled often.

Everything was flavored pretty strong, but good. I'd avoid bringing people who prefer milder flavors.“

“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“

“Check our daily specials “Delicious”“

“Great location with fantastic cocktails. Service was fantastic. Barrett is one of those people that really stands out when it comes to creating a memorable experience for his guest.

It's very unassuming and contrasting from the loud and busy exterior. It feels like your in a whole other world as soon as you step in the door.“

“We had a Celebration of Life in the event room upstairs.
When we came to check the venue out they were very accommodating . Details were all worked out to our satisfaction.
On our day, I can't say enough about the staff. Everything was ready and they were very efficient, polite and friendly.
The food was fantastic.
All in all, I would highly recommend this venue for any kind of get together you may be planning.“

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

“Top tier experience! We came for a birthday and had a sublime time. It felt like we had the restaurant to ourselves and we really adored the cute homie atmosphere. Great weekday deals on wine and meals. All in all, would be happy to be back!“

“Really good food Authentic Vietnamese“

“Great food and service. I highly recommend the duck breast! Risotto is a second favorite. The Ora King Salmon Soba is a great appy as well.“

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

“not sure what these other recent reviews are mentioning but, from my experience at novo it was incredible. seated my family of 7 and each one of us loved are plates. manager was incredibly kind and talked with us through the night. highly recommend, recent reviews of this place seem to be straight lies tbh.“

“I’ve been coming to this place for a long time for sushi lunch, and the flavor is always delicious and satisfying.

Most of the time, I order the bento box with chicken and salmon sushi—it’s amazing. Highly recommended!“

“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.“
