Comfort Food Restaurants near West Vancouver, BC

“Alicia moved through the room like practiced grace,
Balancing plates, balancing time,
Each table a small promise she kept
With a smile that never rushed, never faded.

She learned the rhythm of the restaurant—
The first rush, the quiet lull,
The way a guest’s shoulders soften
When they’re truly cared for.

Milestones passed in clinks of glasses,
Birthdays, promotions, first dates, last exams,
All stitched together by her steady service,
By water refilled before it was missed.

The food arrived just right
Warm, fragrant, beautifully plated,
Each bite reminding us why we came,
Why we stayed a little longer than planned.

Good service made the meal memorable,
Good food made the moment last,
And somewhere between the two
A simple dinner became a celebration.

If meals are measured in memories,
Then this one was counted well
Served by Alicia, with care,
And a kitchen that knew exactly what it was doing.“

“I give this place five stars across the board, but it deserves more than that. The service was amazing, the food was absolutely wonderful, and the chef even went above and beyond to accommodate for our diet restrictions. The atmosphere is also something else entirely. I would 100% come back, and recommend to a friend.“

“Healthy and yummy.,good services and staff.“

“The best food I have had dining out in years. You must try the coconut Shrimp. They are huge and super tasty!!!! Too many things to list. You will be satisfied with everything on the menu. The staff is also super friendly and service is fast. Definitely a must try!! I am sure you will be a repeat customer. In the middle of my review I took a picture of the coconut shrimp. So good!! A++“

“I am very pleased we found you. We were introduced to you by my late brother, John Drexel, at the Red onion in Kerrisdale. You have outdone the superb job you did with the Red Onion at Bigsbys. Thanks. Now we know where you are we will be back, again and again, We will also be able to tell our family and friends where you are the fabulous dining experience we enjoyed. Ralph Drexel“

“We stopped in during happy hour, great food and drink specials, had some beers, steak frites and the pepperoni pizza, food was really good, our waitress was really friendly and helpful with menu questions made it a good experience.
Busy place, patio was full and looked good, has a nice view.“

“Wow! We were blown away… best vegan breakfast we’ve ever had - and we’re used to California vegan! A must-try if you’re in the city… portions a bit smaller than you’d like (but I’m 6ft8 lol) but the taste is out of this world. Burrito, sandwich, croissant, matcha… all amazing Updated from previous review on 2026-04-18“

“always delicious. always fun!“

“Had an amazing time coming to Motonobu! The food has always been delicious, one of the better spots to bring people out of town to eat! Been here multiple times and every visit has been pleasent! Only downside is the waiters/waitresses can be inattentive at times. Overall though, Motonobu is a great spot to celebrate milestones at!“

“Was incredible, both my partner and I loved it“

“mmmmm great food and dessert. i stop in when at appt at wesbrook!“

“Amazing food I always go with my daughter for her favorite Mac and cheese 🧀“

“Shout our to whoever was working tonight. They had a 2 for one on Uber eats which included a side. They didn't list mashed potatoes as an option. In the notes I asked for mashed potatoes if possible. They gave me a call, not to say they couldn't, but to make sure I wanted mashed for both.

I'm used to these requests being ignored. They rock for going above and beyond. I hope the owner sees this and the employee gets the recognition they deserve.“

“Beautiful room and great food.“

“The employees are wonderful, they are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the local area and surrounding areas. I really liked the Thunder from Down Under Parmie.“

“I ❤️the dime. every time I come here I see everyone I know and their baby mamas I love the bartenders they so chill. Only sad thing about this place is that they got rid of the ice cream sandwich

“We were lucky to be served by two amazing gentlemen at the bar last night! We were so well taken care of. Kudos to them. My husband and I came into Vancouver to do some YouTube filming and decided to end our night in your establishment and to be honest we didn’t want to leave! But all good things have to come to an end or they can’t start again. We didn’t have food this time unfortunetly. But we thourly enjoyed ourselves m. The music was AWESOME but just too loud. We sat at the end of the bar and it felt like my ear was being blown off, but in most def not in my 20’s 😆

We usually do whistler EFW and it also never disappoints. U really have an eye for bartenders!

Another lad joined at the end from down the road and he was lovely. Really looking forward to our next trip to van.“

“Very delicious 🤤 and the attention is great“

“Good atmosphere! Good food !“

“Overall stellar experience. Awesome patio for when it’s sunny, as well as a very nice and new restaurant itself.“

“Generous portions, fresh ingredients, it comes in an individual metal hotpot dish. You can't control the temperature and you can smell the charcoal or something, which is kind of a strong smell. It keeps the soup boiling literally it will spill out if you don't eat it fast enough. Tasted yummy, got a free iced drink with lunch. Nice meal on a cold day.“
