Mushroom risotto
Rob C.

Great seafood platter! One of the best we've had because instead of just cutting up cold seafood, every item was upgraded to provide extra flavour. It's very big as there were two of us and it pretty much filled us for the whole meal. Truffled mushroom risotto was very good. Definitely get this. Prawn and Shrimp Tagliarini is apparently a permanent dish that never leaves the menu. I thought it was ok. Perhaps it's because I was already seafooded out from eating the platter earlier. Service was nice but not special. Restaurant is bigger than I thought and beautifully decorated. Old school Italian fine dining vibe Key tip: we asked for a nice table and were given a curved corner couch seat near the kitchen. The view was nice but because they do so much grilling, the smoke smell from the kitchen was overpowering and unpleasant.

Dine out Vancouver 2025 is in full swing. I've wanted to try out Bacchus Restaurant & Lounge for the longest time. Finally. This restaurant is located at the Wedgewood Hotel on Hornby St across the street from the Law Courts. The decor is Venetian - classy, timeless & beautiful. Wine connoisseurs will love the vast selection of wines available here. Tim our server & matrie'd extraordinaire was on point with service of pure excellence. Bravo good Sir! For DOV, it's $65pp & you get a choice of appetizer, main dish & dessert. We started off with the Seared Scallops & Duck Liver Terrine. Really enjoyed both of them. Our main dishes were the Maple Glazed Steelhead Trout & the Pork Collar Confit. Both of these items were buttery soft & ahhhh mazing! I was surprised by how full I was as the portions are not huge but extremely filling. When dessert came around I had a hard time trying to eat it. The Chocolate Cake was good, but the Caramelized Apple Tart even better. Bacchus is a classy restaurant but don't be assuming that it's only for the Silver (old, white hair) Fox type crowd. It is high end & very classy. If you can get in ASAP do so now & take advantage of DOV - you won't be disappointed.

Beautiful restaurant. Lots of velvet.

Bacchus was five star from the food to the service and the ambiance.. It is difficult for me to choose a favorite dish because I really enjoyed my appetizer and both of our entrees. Our server, Chelsea, was very nice, professional, and knowledgeable about the food and helped to guide us to the right choices . She was also very knowledgeable in her wine recommendations.

A very perfect execution of steak frites! Excellent!

I took my nieces for the Valentine's Day afternoon tea. I usually don't care for most of the food at these things, but I was impressed because they didn't taste dried out and stodgy as many others I have tried. They do give you a lot of food, none of us could eat more than maybe half of what was served, and we all purposely ate very little that morning. Maybe they could consider making their crustless sandwiches with thinner bread so we don't fill up as quickly, but that's a quibble. We all agreed that the chocolate profiteroles were the best thing that we tried. There were several items that we didn't even try. The girls took two boxes of leftovers home to their dad, lol! I ordered the Wedgewood-Tantalus sparkling wine, and was really quite impressed. It's very good quality and even with the hefty markup expected at a place like this, it felt like a good value. Definitely worth trying if you love sparkling wine. The service, as always was gracious, and warm. Overall, an excellent afternoon tea experience.

There was a time when fine dining restaurants were intimate, romantically lit, and offered live music that still allowed for conversation. It's been a long time since I've found one, so I was delighted to discover Bacchus. It's everything I loved about dining back in the 70s, but with a modern take on food. There were many highlights to our meal, but I'd have to list the two-tier seafood tower as the best. Unlike other seafood towers, there were a great variety of prepared dishes included along with the usual lobster, shrimp, and oysters--perhaps a dozen selections in total. We loved all of them. The wine list is extensive, and represents nearly every region of the world, although there is no depth to the vintages. Service was friendly and precise. This place is a keeper.

Beautiful hotel restaurant with an intimate cozy setting and good food. Went for a birthday as a table of 5 and got seated in a nice spot with a curved couch and chairs. There was a live pianist who also sang and made the atmosphere upbeat yet classy. I thought it was a bit unfitting that the hockey game could be seen on the TV on the lounge side of the restaurant. We all got drinks and some of us shared raw oysters which were good but overpriced. I got the prawn and scallop tagliarini which I would order again and it was the perfect amount of food. We all shared the sticky toffee pudding, espresso tiramisu and the trio of chocolate millefeuille. I enjoyed the tiramisu the most but wished it was larger as among 5 people it was only a spoonful. The service was friendly but very slow. We were there for at least 3 hours and had to wait a bit to order our food and then again later on the night to order dessert. I had an empty glass of water for a while as well. I would return to try their afternoon tea and I could see this becoming a staple spot for a celebratory meal.

I went with friends to the $65 dinner dine out menu. The atmosphere is great and tranquil. We were seated at the back as the only group table back there. We had an 8:30 reservation though. They had the live piano music which was great. After we chose our dineout menus, there was a round of amuse Bouche which was deep fried cauliflower. It tasted quite salty though. There was also a complimentary bread basket with butter. The bread basket was great. My starter was the duck pate. It was smooth and succulent and came with 2 pieces of toast. It was a rich start to the meal. Then I opted for pork bourgnoie which they made it taste like beef and not dry at all. The portion was quite small but I was getting quite full. For dessert I chose the nougatine dome which was quite rich. Maybe I would've enjoyed it if I was a bit less full.

Chicken Schnitzel
Matthew J.

I'm glad that this was my first experience with a Michelin-starred restaurant. However, the Chicken Schnitzel could have used more seasoning in the batter they used to fry the chicken. It was too plain tasting for me. Otherwise, I enjoyed how moist the perfectly cooked chicken tasted and the creamy Hollandaise on top.

We sat in the lounge section of the restaurant. Beautiful, sophisticated, and relaxing lounge. It takes you back to a era where life was less complicated and moving at a slower pace. There was a live piano player in the background. Service was fast! The staff were very kind, polite, and helpful with the exception of the bartender: Jesse. Not a very friendly at all. We also enjoyed our breakfast here 4 days in a row. Their croissants melt in your mouth. Relaxing music in the background. What a beautiful way to ease into your day. Coffee was great. They offer two fresh squeezed juices and a few other juice options.

Amuse bouche
Kelven W.

The first of our DineOut Vancouver journey. Started off with a bang with amazing service and fantastic food. Enjoyed that we had an amuse bouche to start with fresh shrimp to whet our palate. Their ricotta mascarpone ravioli trio was amazing. The black truffle beurre blanc added such an incredible depth of flavour! Wow! Their tuna tartare was super delicious and refreshing. For the entree, we had the cache creek farms Bavette... another show stopper which was incredible. Super tender beef with a delicious peppercorn Demi. We had their local steelhead (perfectly cooked and seasoned) as well as their local mushrooms. Soooo good! We ended off the meal with their apple galette, stick toffee pudding and house made sorbets. Can't go wrong with any of these incredible desserts! The cardamom ice cream is a refreshing twist with the apples :) I can't wait to come back again!

Baccus breakfast
Andrew E.

Lovely experience. Terrific ambiance, enjoyed the cozy, elegant living room decor. Comfy chairs, granite tabletops. Staying at the hotel, came for breakfast. Food was good, scrambled eggs perfectly creamy. Coffee very good, nice and strong, kudos for that. And nice and hot. I hate lukewarm, weak coffee. None of that here. They leave an insulated coffee carafe which was great, hot refills on demand. The menu was very conservative with standard breakfast fare. Eggs, pancakes, the ususal. Nothing exotic, but solid. They brought ketchup and two fresh jams without asking. Bravo. None of that jam in a plastic tub nonsense. Service was excellent. Perfect amount of check-in without pestering. This is $$$ but prices were fair and reasonable for the experience. Would recommend.

From the exterior, it looked like an upscale Italian restaurant, great for a nice sit down dinner…read moreto catch up with friends. We got a table inside, and the music was extremely loud (think club vibes). The music was amazing, but for the wrong setting. Our group ended up texting one another as we couldn't hear ourselves. As for food I got some pasta and truffle fries. The pasta was incredibly bland, but the fries were delicious! Our server was also lovely - friendly and attentive.

Their food was really good, truffle fries are quite rich and flavourful, same with the beef carpaccio. I don't think the menu mentions it comes with these sliced toasted baguettes which were topped with olive oil and balsamic glaze. Service was slightly disappointing as our service was quite flat. Two instances, both not the fault of our server, but the bar had a friend a drink in a dirty glass, she ordered a clear drink but it was brown tinged, and had a weird flavour. Multiple people at the table tried it before we told the server that it seemed off. It was slightly off putting, but our server went back and got a new one for my friend. Second thing, they said they updated their POS so for some reason the person who had the most alcoholic drinks had been put in with a really high autogratuity, but it was strange because everyone else at the party had the regular autograt of 20% I believe and the only person who was drunk ended up getting 30% or something of the sort. Our server again, amazing and took care of it working with the manager who fixed it and came to apologize but the optics of that only happening to the one drunk person if the party, well you know. Kinda left an unsatisfactory taste in everyone's mouths regarding the service. Food was still great and so was our server, and the manager who came to personally apologize about the issue.

I partially booked the Opus Hotel due to what I saw of the bar. Looked pretty awesome! We had a…read morefew drinks after checking in, needed a break after travelling all day. Everything on the HH menu is $5 3-6pm and all day Wednesday. We also got the meatball appetizer and the Baccala on toast. Bartender was friendly enough, gave some recommendations where to go for dinner. But then a very large party was being seated at the adjacent restaurant that the bar seems to also serve, and she got tied up pretty bad. We did see a couple come in and wait for a pretty long time and then just take off. And then the bar was closed for this private party at 7pm, and we had sort of planned on a nightcap after dinner in there. Fortunately we found PLENTY of awesome places to go after dinner so it was not an issue. While there during Happy Hour, the crowd was empty at first and the place filled up completely by the time we left. 30's and 40's crowd.

If you're looking for a comfortable,quiet, and cosy bar this is not the place for you. This is a place where Vancouverites get dressed up in their finest dark washed jeans. Am I being facetious - yes I am...but lets face it that's what passes for high fashion in this city. Celebrity sightings are not totally uncommon here, the servers are all friendly and quick to bring your drinks, and you're guaranteed plenty of beautiful people eye-candy. It's also a bar targeting a slightly more mature age group with their larger disposable income - so no annoying teeny boppers knocking back B-52's here and whoohooing it up. One shocking thing I discovered on my last visit to OPUS Bar, was that they aren't allowed to do "real" bottle service there. So if you order a bottle of Goose for the table, be prepared to have your server take it away and bring it back out only when requested or when glasses start to go empty - thankfully Champagne & Wine are exempt from this strange rule.
