Service is impeccable. Explained notes of every dish, changed out silverware and dishes, checked on guests repeatedly. Some timing could be adjusted for the different seatings as we waited 10-15min past our reservation time for our table, then there seemed to be numerous open tables during our seating. Perhaps push back the 715pm seating to 730pm. Sold out of the gimlet cocktail. I normally like booze forward cocktails, but the martini was more than I wanted and the other cocktail had an anise flavour which I do not care for. Perhaps add a fourth cocktail to the menu as that's quite early to sell out of a cocktail in dinner service. Presentation was definitely very michelin and creative. The lamb and the crudo were exceptional as was the dessert. Some of the other dishes were a bit underwhelming. Gratuity is alrwady included on the bill at 20%. Be warned, people with poor eyesight will struggle as the dining room is very dim. read more

The ambiance and the respect to local food vendors is unbelievably unique to this restaurant. They choose sustainable foods and mostly remain local for all of their ingredients. I could see the true care and precision that went into every dish and the conception of not only the menu but the essence of Burdock & Co itself. Additionally, another unique factor of this place is the zero proof pairings that they have with each dish on their tasting menu. I think it's a bold move in the restaurant world that very much aligns with the trends of today's society. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive to your every whim and need. The kitchen is open concept and I revelled in watching these Michelin starred chefs cooking and creating from afar. Now on to the most important part; the details behind the food itself. The citrus menu standouts for me was the potato confit topped with potato skin cream, I deeply regret not adding on the caviar as I think this would have made it over the top heavenly, so please don't make the same mistake as me! The squab dish was perfectly juicy and the breast meat was even wrapped around a sausage type which made it all the more rich. The dessert with the buddha's hand flavours and several different textures of smooth, crunchy, icy and warm all at the same time was beyond words. Kelp/agar agar was prominent throughout the menu and created with intention to the local roots of the pacific west coast, as was most of the ingredients on the menu. As for the table add ons, the rabbit dumplings tasted divine, they could have used more broth to be categorized as a soup dumpling. The savoury eclairs were so incredible and rich, even though they were vegetarian, with radicchio and cheese. The flavours of the eclairs reminded me of duck with the caramelized marmalade intertwining with the above ingredients. I truly believe that Burdock & Co will be Vancouver's first 2 Michelin star restaurant. With that being said the cost of dining at this restaurant is high and although there are several dishes apart of the menu, they do have a bit smaller portions being less starch and fat heavy than most Michelin stars so please keep this in mind and make sure to order all the supplements if you walk in hungry. read more

We came here for a celebration dinner and left a little underwhelmed for the price. It had a Michelin Star recently so we thought this would be a great spot. To be honest, we came during restaurant week (which had a slightly lower priced menu). However, we didn't have a choice online when we made the reservation. One of the things that I really liked about this restaurant was the fact that hey also made a non-alcoholic wine pairing to go along with the rest of the menu. However, the Australian menu was lacking in flavor. While the food was good, the price point compared to the quality of what you were getting was a HUGE mismatch. Honestly, I wouldn't come back to this restaurant again. IG: AndTheNextAdventureBegins read more

What a fantastic place to have some of the most innovative and delicious food you've ever tasted! I started with the savory eclairs which were quite frankly insanely delicious. Elderflower, asparagus and goat Brie on a delicious bread made for some of the most tasty bites of the night. Then I had the duck terrine, which was aromatic and delicious. Finally, I had the two featured desserts. They were also fantastic and I had a great view of them being made from my seat at the bar. The boldly named Perfect Martini also did not disappoint. I was surprised by how high quality and beautifully done the food was. I would consider this place on par with some of the two Star Michelin restaurants I have visited. Service was also warm, prompt and lovely. I wish I was staying longer so I could visit again! This is a must-visit stop if you are in Vancouver and you love food. read more

Booked a Gathering ROOTS Under a Cold Moon tasting experience to celebrate my best friend's birthday, and it was a good, solid dining experience. Some of the reviews have mentioned that the dishes, albeit good, lack consistency throughout the menu, with some technical errors peeking through. For our appetizers, we ordered the Buratta and the Acadian Sturgeon Caviar. The buratta with the amagaki persimmon was absolutely exceptional and we added a dollop of the caviar, which really made all the flavours pop. The creme fraiche beignet, which were served alongside the caviar, were buttery and also delicious. Overall, both of the appies were 5/5 stars. As for the tasting course, Burdock root with uni was a perfect starter 5/5, but the Salsify root made me a little disappointed-- the rice was just a smidge under al dente (both of these dishes we had with the caviar-- I highly recommend getting caviar for these, because it really ties in the flavours) 3/5. The Sunchoke and the Rutabaga were solid dishes, Rutabaga's duck breast was cooked to perfection and the duck leg confit hash was splendid 5/5; Sunchoke gets a 5/5 for being an amazing mushroom dish. The desert was Parsnip root, a play on Mont Blanc, which is a classic French dessert, and tbh it was wayyy better than a Mont Blanc. Really unique flavour, not too sweet, simply a 5/5. The ambience inside is cozy and rustic, with warm, glowing lights welcoming you as soon as you walk in... It's a perfect setting for a cold, rainy winter. Service was laid back, but very knowledgeable. Staff were friendly and kind and honestly such a major part of the dining experience. I want to celebrate special occasions here JUST because of the amazing service. read more

Overall, it was a great experience. The food was delicious. The place was a little small, but there was enough seating space to get some privacy, which we greatly appreciated. The service was excellent. The staff were very knowledgeable and explained each course in detail. Hands down, the parsnip root is one of the most unique and best desserts I have ever had. The sunchoke was also exquisite. The only criticism that comes to my mind would be that it's a bit pricey for the experience served, especially when compared to other local Michelin-starred restaurants . For being such a vegetable-forward menu, the price just seemed a tad high. But definitely, if you are in town, check this place out. They offer a unique take on food which leaves you craving more! read more

A little pricey but love the progression of the meal and use of seasonal products. The fish mousse was so nostalgic for me and packed with flavour though the fried chicken wasn't as light and airy as I prefer. I love the storytelling and use of the main ingredient from bitter note to sweet. The fish dish was so buttery and delicious. Some dishes didn't wow me but I applaud the overall service and thought out to create the course menu. Ambience was nice for a date night and while it was busy, it felt intimate. read more

I've been here a few times. There are around 6 different menus a year and I've enjoyed some more than others. I think it's important to note it is usually vegetable forward menu and leans towards a more New Nordic style so flavours are understated and there is less wow moments that you might expect from a 1 star Michelin. That said for me personally every dish we had was executed well even if I didn't like all the flavour profiles. For sure get the savory eclairs and I think for a tasting experience it is worth the 165 a person. The desserts are always intriguing and fun. The portions are small and I think for some people that aren't use to a tasting menu that isn't protein heavy they may be disappointed. The service is exceptional with friendly but very educated and helpful staff. The atmosphere is casual which I personally like but if you are looking for a more formal experience, this isn't it. read more

Great ambiance and good service. Had the "resin" tasting menu. What was served was delicious, but have never left a Michelin star restaurant hungry until now. We even added two extra courses, which were both great. The wine pairing was good but it had sake and two sweet wines that were not really to our liking. Kept waiting for more of an entree-like course that never came. A bit disappointed to be honest. read more

I planned for a romantic / anniversary getaway to Vancouver highlighting trying new foods / experiences. Burdock & Co was the first restaurant I booked. Burdock is running a series of themed menus, our time was root vegetables. The root vegetables were the focus. The food was flavorful and good. Even though there were about 5 courses plus dessert, we were full when done. The amazing - the staff. The good - everything was flavorful. The soso - things were heavy, root vegetables and foams pushed the heaviness a bit too far. Their Feb/Mar menu focuses on winter citrus, I'd love to see if we can get back to try it. A great experience. read more

I've been quite skeptical of Michelin in Canada but this has been one of my more memorable experiences. On all fronts, Burdock outshone and delivered an impeccable dining experience. The most outstanding thing for me was the service. Our server was so knowledgeable about the food and the wine pairing. Given it was my birthday, we did splurge on an extra glass of bubbly and the premium pairing - the selections paired each course perfectly. Couldn't have one without the other. For a tasting menu, I was surprisingly full! Each course made sense, though I found it difficult to appreciate due to being so full. However, it was a pleasure to be seated at the kitchen to be able to observe the small team churn out dish after dish. Burdock provides an awesome experience in a beautifully curated setting. Intimate and not too noisy - perfect for a date night or special occasion! Definitely try out their fried chicken as an add on! read more

This was by far one of the worst fine dining experiences I've had, and completely unacceptable for a Michelin-level restaurant charging $175 per person. The tasting menu was deeply disappointing. The fish tasted both overly fishy and excessively salty, and the squid had an overpowering, unpleasant odor that made it inedible. These were not subtle flavor issues -- they pointed to serious problems with quality and execution. When we raised concerns, the chef on duty offered to substitute a few dishes. Unfortunately, none of the replacements were any better -- every option we tried was equally disappointing. What was most shocking was the chef's attitude. Instead of acknowledging the issue, she told us that next time we should "make a note" if we can't accept a fishy taste. That response was dismissive and unprofessional, essentially blaming the customer rather than taking responsibility. For a restaurant associated with Michelin standards, this level of food quality and service is unacceptable. I've dined at many high-end restaurants, and this stands out as one of the worst experiences I've had. Despite everything, we still left an 18% tip, which in hindsight felt completely undeserved. I would not recommend this restaurant read more

Wow! What a fantastic experience we had for my husband's birthday! There were several other birthdays being celebrated that night in the restaurant. I really appreciated how affordable they made their tasting menu, especially for a Michelin-starred restaurant. Zero pretentious attitude, just nothing but gracious hospitality, fantastic food, and a great wine pairing selection that leans heavily feminist! I was too engrossed in the food and company, so only too a few photos. The stand outs for me were the cucumber salad, the crazy delicious dip they served with the buttermilk fried chicken, and the ridiculously delicious savoury profiteroles filled with cured steelhead. Wow! read more

Food was amazing!! Every single dish they brought out was tasty with the exception of the corn risotto. It had a bit of an odd kick to it and I didn't like it. However the servers rectified immediately and made another without the spice which I thought was a bit better. Service was impeccable. I love how two servers brought out the dishes at the same time so we didn't have to wait for everyone at our table to get the dish. Initially from the outside it doesn't look like the place is anything special but inside was quite cozy. I loved how the dishes came in unique plates. Highly recommend. read more

Walking along Main Street, found a small lit sign "Burdock & Co". Not sure what to make of it. On the quiet side of things. Reminds me of "Nighthawks" a 1942 painting by Edward Hopper. Opening its door, the sweet voice of Sade singing "Smooth Operator" filled my ears. The place is a cozy space covered with reclaimed wood paneling on the walls and ceiling, giving a warm welcoming familiar feel. Unique and individual lighting adorned the space, reminiscent of vintage furniture stores that were prominent along Main Street decades ago. Our server Jesse, at first shy, then reveal to be a very knowledgeable and thoughtful food enthusiast. She described the menu items with precision and detail. Seems she has had toast master training, answering an inquisitive individual like myself without any filler words. Her work for us was impeccable. We have ordered a "tasting menu" of 5 courses with this time of "citric" theme. 1. Lisbon Lemon stracchiatella cheese, Lisbon lemon & Foxglove Farm ginger ice, hosui pear & endives 2. Bergamot rosemary smoked Sieglinde potato, black garlic, potato skin cream, shaved bergamot 3. Sweet Lime Akami tuna, pork hock & leek, rose hip & sweet lime chili paste, shiitake glaze 4. Rangpur Lime lamb collar with koji cured crispy belly, fermented sunchoke, charred grain risotto, Rangpur lime & mountain huckleberry 5. Meyer Lemon parfait, malted milk chocolate cremeux, salted biscuit & malt caramel. ---------------- Started with sourdough and rutabaga appetizers. The dishes after followed each other like a crescendo that started with a small beat. Each dish was more lingering than the former. My thoughts were running away to the idea of rise of the proletariat. Vegetables that were once mere garnishes to the mains are celebrated here. For the first time I noticed their aroma, their musical notes, their essence. They are the stars of their own. And rightfully so. Coming from Landscape design background, Head Chef Andrea Carlson favours local sourcing and essence over sensational. Many who don't understand the subtleties of things, will not appreciate the sheer discipline and art that is in each dish. Every element cooked to perfection, every sauce cooked either to complement or contrast to bring out the ingredients' true essence. Harmony and chaos in a symphony of culinary perfection. Not to mention deliciousness. The meal is like encountering a masterful seductress who leaves you with an aftertaste like no other than a bittersweet romance. Sweet in reminiscence but bitter in parting. .........Until we meet again. read more

We have been wanting to try Burdock and was able to get a reservation on the day of. In June and July, they have the "flower gazing under the berry moon" menu, which consists of six courses including one dessert. It is priced at $150 per person. The ambience in the restaurant is quite casual and intimate. The service throughout the dinner was 10/10. For the food, the only down side is probably the portion size. Almost every dish was bite size (or couple bites), and there wasn't a lot of protein in most of the dishes. However, as you can see from the photos - the presentation of each dish was all on point, you can see the amount of effort put into it. Our favourite dish was the Magnolia (spot shrimp with radish/kimchi) and the one that fell short was the Elderflower (halibut mousse with cabbage). Overall a great experience, we may come back again when the menu changes. read more

What can I say? When people come to a Michelin star restaurant, they definitely have certain expectations. Although it's not everyone's cup of tea, but to me, Burdock was not a disappointment. We were contacted the day before our booking to check in with any food allergies, which is rare from my past booking experience. We can tell that they took the extra step to get to know their customers before preparing the meal. They sat all their dine out customers beside the bar table, which is right on the outside of the kitchen. I loved the scene as I can see how the food are prepared and hot the kitchen staff are functioned. All the staff are trained to have a good kitchen etiquette, they talk among each other with short sentences, to inform each other what they are doing etc, which is very impressive. All the ingredients are weighted and cut precisely. Their plates are pre-heated in the oven, so when the food is ready, they will be placed on a warm plate to prevent being cold. Sometimes the change of the temperature could also change the taste of the food. I like how they taking every detail into consideration to enhance people's dining experience. The portion of the dine out menu is very generous and prepared with all local farm grown ingredients. The owner has a 100 miles rule which means all the food ingredients should be coming within 100 miles. Burdock also owns their own grocery store in Chinatown, and they have their own farm. I like to support local community and buy from local farms whenever I can. This farm to table concept definitely make me very happy. All the dishes has this earthy, and fresh taste. They incorporate the ingredients together to maximize the flavor. For example, the steelhead was prepared with dill cream sauce which helped to bring out the freshness of the fish, rather than minimizing the fishiness. They also used a lot of Asian ingredients and cooking techniques on their other dishes such as the pork pate, fried chicken, and the dessert (diplomat with the glutinous ball). I enjoyed every bite of it. Their servers are very knowledgeable. For each course we were given a brand new set of cutlery and plate. There was always an introduction before each course. I saw their head chef standing by the end of the kitchen for quality control. If the dish is sent out in the wrong order, the server will be called to kitchen for a short brief. I'm very impressed with this dining experience. Each of them were working very hard. Even during dine out period, they still try to maintain their normal high standards which can be very hard when mass production is required. I am very proud that Vancouver has a rustic appealing restaurant like this, and will be back again! read more

Finally had the chance to try this famed Michelin star restaurant. DOVF was the perfect opportunity for me to get a glimpse of the artistry behind this establishment. Place is small with only a few proper tables. Otherwise, You sit at the tiny bar with barely enough room, and it fronts the kitchen and plating as well. What they dont tell you at booking, is that if you are doing DineOut, you automatically get bar seating, and cannot request to be transferred to a table as its only for the regular menu. A bit discriminating in my opinion with prior warning, and after asking for pre-payment. Unto the food...for artistic presentation and cooking techniques, they surely live up to the michelin standards. They take ordinary ingredients and turn it into something extraordinary. The complexity of their sauces and fusions, showcases the talent behind the kitchen. For appys...the pork pate was nothing to rave abt. It tastes like any average pate. No wow factor. The other appy was a bit sweet, and could pass for dessert. For mains, the pork shoulder...the execution was a bit lacking. The pork shoulder we had was a bit chewy, despite being cooked sousvide. ( the have a sousvide machine in the kitchen) . The bokchoy that came With it was poached with rice wine and gave it a good bitter/sweet contrast. The fish was great. Excellently prepared and cooked just right. The sauce emulsion that accompanied It was superb. A glimpse into molecular gastronomy. The desserts were probably the best dishes. The mt Seymour was decadent layers of goodness all assembled nicely and the parsnip puree with glutinous rice balls was an excellent example of fusiong east and west. Now this is another establishment that you come hungry and leave hungrier. But then again, every michelin restaurant is mostly like this. The one thing that i found really appalling was the fact that the cook assigned with assembling the pate's and desserts kept in using his barehands to handle and slice the food. Wouldve been ok if he was touching only that. Since i was seated at the counter...i saw him touch his hair, clothing, put his hands inside his pockets and suspenders, open and close cabinets, hold a wash cloth, use the same wash cloth to wipe counters, chopping boards, and surrounding countertop areas....and handle food all at the same time. Another line cook was using her phone while cooking, and had no issues putting her phone on flat on the food prep areas. I highly doubt they get a michelin if the judges saw this part. Lastly, service was impeccable. Servers very knowledgeable of the menu and very attentive to your needs. Since i didnt get sick after, i may give them Another try next time as a regular diner and not during dineout. I may get a better experience and proper seating. I do believe the kitchen got overwhelmed doing 2 sets of menus so they kinda fell apart and rushed Things and got a bit careless. Cheers! Happy eating! read more

Had an absolutely wonder experience, quaint intimate atmosphere. Probably seats around 30 with some at the kitchen where you can watch the preparation. Halloween night, October Moon Menu featuring Radicchios, along with the premium wine pairing. From the moment I walked in the door I was greeted warmly, (ya Iet them know in advance it was my birthday). Service was provided by Shiva who's complete knowledge of the wines provided & course description along with her friendly disposition was impressive. First course was served by Katy the sous chief, who was in charge that night, and each successive by a member of the kitchen to wish a Happy Birthday. The meal was outstanding, left that night with a satisfied palate and a warm soul. read more

another michelin adventure w/a - s missed out of the action. first shout out to the assistant mgr, georgio, for accommodating the last minute change with our reservations. glad that i did as i realized how small the kitchen is for the restaurant so everything is prepped to a t! i got to the restaurant early but i was greeted and seated right away. the restaurant has a rusty yet homey feel - i was rly comfortable and at ease with all the hubbub around me frm other patrons and the open kitchen buzz. a arrived a little later and our server - kieran - came over and did his speech. 2nd shout out to kieran who was AWESOME at his opening speech to explain the menu and drinks; he was also super attentive (in a non-hovering way) and knowledgeable thru out my whole night there. thank you kieran - you made my experience at burdock a very wonderful one. we started off with drinks - im not a big martini person but that was the only cocktail on the menu that had gin in it. again, being a smaller restaurant, the bar does not have a lot of space for other spirits. kieran was able to convince me to give it a try and im sure glad that i did. my 3rd shout out goes to shiva - who graciously came out and handed me a baby sized martini so i could try it out and not make a full commitment if i hated it. spoiler - i loved it! i got my adult-sized one afterwards but this little detail def added bonus points for me. a got herself a glass of rosé that is darker than most - it gives a light red vibe, which went perfectly with the lamb. she did get another half glass - generously poured - of a syrah that kieran raved on and on and on about. we got suckered in and it was DEF an eye opener - there was tinge of tartness when we drank it alone but with the lamb and the sauce - the tartness went away and we were left with a normal syrah. alain graillot - you are an amazing wine maker like kieran said you were (rip). now for food! burdock has a seasonal menu that rotates every 2 months - roughly. currently, it is the sturgeon moon menu. there are other items that you can add on - caviar, fried chicken, celebration salad and so on. we got the arctic sourdough bread and it came at the 3rd course mark (thanks to kieran) with the corn. the sourdough bread was charred perfectly - it added a nice crunch to the corn dish and the charcoal flavour definitely shone thru. the marjoram and garlic butter that it comes with was also delish. clearly i went out of order there so let's start at the beginning shall we? profiteroles as amuse bouche came first - the plates and cutlery already wowed me at this point. the profiteroles are meant to be eaten in one bite - á la kieran's advice - and we did just that. all the flavours - the brie mousse, the mushrooms, the apple sauce - all come together into a symphony of umami in your mouth. so def open wide for this one. the spotted shrimp came after that - the milk bread that this came with is to die for. pillowy softness that is asking to be dipped into the shrimp broth and ofc, we did that! the celery added a fragrant crunch and crispness to the dish. the scallop dish was one of my favourites out of the menu. the tomatoes definitely stole the show but the scallop was seared to perfection. the freshness and tang from tomatoes in its various forms - tomato skin paper, tomato puree, and as a whole - made the dish more complete. the fennel salad was a palate refresher that helped prepared me for the next dish corn risotto was next, and the arctic sourdough helped soak up the chili broth that the risotto was sitting on. a and i loved the asian touches in this dish - the gochujang and black sesame oil. lamb was something that both of us are not big fans of but we thought that burdock would be able to wow us - and wow us indeed. there was a bit of gaminess with the fat/skin of the lamb but mixed with the chimichurri and the pickled onions, you don't even notice it anymore. even with the other sides, like kieran suggested us to do, the potatoes and turnips helped add more dimensions to the dish that made us forget abt the gaminess of the lamb. this dish, believe it or not, is my other fav frm the menu. the grand finale of dessert - the sour cherry. the only thing that i wanted to point out was the meringue - it wasn't bad but there is that distinct egg white smell that is present. again, not a big deal but for those that don't like that smell, be warned. we were surprised by the salted sakura ice but it worked wonderfully with the dessert. the meringue was light, the cherries added the perfect tang and the cherry blossom custard added a creaminess that tied everything together. it was such a wonderful experience that i had and the 1-star was well-deserved. it's also pretty obvious that i love kieran, our server i will definitely come back and try the other moon menus read more

Ate there for the first time on Sunday night 4/16 - exactly one day after they celebrated their 10 year anniversary! We found the food terrific, and every bit deserving of its Michelin Star -- and, in our opinion, without the pretentiousness that many Michelin places have to project. It is TINY. I think a max of 30 people. Food is creative and great. 5 course fixed price tasting menu. There a few "extras" they can add as appetizers. There is also an optional wine pairing. read more

Tried their tasting menu for 99/pp recently and I must say their service was immaculate ! The server was attentive and paired each dish with their own story. 5 course meal started off with a pate, that kinda resembled spam meat (haha we joked that we were missing some instant noodles). The mushroom broth with the brioche bun was definitely the highlight of my meal. The flavours were so powerful and the bun was nice and soft. So cozy and warm! My partner liked the beet salad with the puff pastry, as it was beautifully presented and light to the stomach! Overall I'd go there for the experience. I'm rating the service as a 4 and the food as 3.5/5! read more

Burdock and Co was a good restaurant. Prices are at the high end but did not disappoint. The tasting menu was a fun experience and I enjoyed most of the dishes. The halibut dish was one that unfortunately missed the mark however the salad dish, the steak, the cookie with the steak, and the elevated french fries dish we're really good. Also try the add ons, but sadly would have to say it wasn't great take on southern food. read more

Burdock & Co rotates a seasonal tasting menu so every time you go, you are bound to get different ingredients and dish concepts which is pretty exciting. I liked the theme of the restaurant and also the friendly service. I was seated at the chef's table which I loved and the atmosphere was very intimate (the chair was high up and a bit wobbly but it is a trade off I am willing to make). The theme of my menu was `citrus scented rain under a Snow Moon` which I thought was particularly poetic. I also appreciate how the waitress took her time to explain the sourcing of the ingredients as all the citrus were locally grown through hydroponics which was really cool. While I thought the cooking was good, I think that there were only two dishes in the tasting menu I enjoyed (probably because I didn't love the actual ingredients so much) so that's just the risk of going through with a tasting menu. For example, I don't like beets so the beets course was just ok to me. I thought that the citrus sauce was a bit too overwhelming. The pommes Anna was good and probably my favorite aside from dessert. All the other courses were just ok too me and I didn't like the bison main course as much. Overall, I had a good experience and would come back depending on the next tasting menu. read more

I was completely taken by surprise, everything was absolutely delicious! We went on a dine out Vancouver night and it was a $65/pp. Aside from their tasting and dine out menu, there were a few "add on" plates that you can order. Ordered: Arctic Sourdough $8 - chewy and fresh, good filler Buttermilk fried chicken $22 - crunchy and flavourful, only 6 small pieces though, price a bit steep Pork Pate - served cold, there's an acidic sauce on the side that went really well with it Pork Collar - 2 pieces of savoury and satisfying pork, reminiscent of thick pieces of ham. Yummy charred vegetables and creamy sauce went so well together with the pork! Mount Seymour - chocolate hazelnut cake, perfect sweetness and served warm. Delicious. My companions ordered the steelhead and the Diplomat for dessert. They enjoyed them a lot as well. The only odd thing about was that they added a 20% gratuity on the bill automatically. It was just the 3 of us so I didn't really quite understand why. The service was quick, friendly and attentive though, I didn't have a problem with it. read more

Burdock & Co is a one michelin star restaurant situated in main st and w 11 ave. It is $125pp tasting menu with a bunch of different appetizer to add and wine pairing to add on top of that. If you dont add anything, basically you will pay $150pp including gax and gratuity. 1. Burdock Bread: The bread were okay. I wish they were salted more and made with more better to be more flavourful and have better texture. But the butter was superb thouth dont miss this 2. Rolsaba: this was the star dish of the tasting menu. Definitely made to perfection which each thing complements each other. Definitely something to keep up there 3. Treviso: i personally think there are so much flavour in one dish. All just mixing up together the bitterness the sourness the umami. So this is just personally i dislike. 4. Sugarloaf: this is very acquired taste but very interesting. 5. Costarossa: everything was good except the cheeks needed more seasoning or more sauce as it is very dry and the striploin has a lot of silver skin when trying to cut it so probably where the beef is coming from does not supply good cut. 6. Castlefranco: this was perfect just except wish the apple cakes were hotter and the condiments were way colder. Playing with the temperature difference can make it perfect. 7. Chicory Root: it was alright. In conclusion, the food here is very acquired taste and uses local product which is good. The 7 dishes made me full so which is good too. Service was superb never had a second where my drink is not filled. The place is very packed and noisy which is not my preference. But this is definitely something worth to try for the tasting course. Cheers! read more

This is probably the 7th time I've been to Burdock. This is day 2 of their new seasonal menu. There are highs and lows, leading to a mixed review. As always, the ambience and service were excellent. However, the entire meal took far too long (between 2.5-3 hours). We also ordered a wine pairing and only received a half glass extra pour on the first pairing as compensation, which seems too little for consistently waiting too long for the food. Their corn and sturgeon courses were delicious - complete, absolute umami. I scooped up the sauce with my finger, so good! However, the tomato add-on course should be skipped. I'm appalled they charged $22 for half a small plate of tomato varieties in tasteless vinaigrette. I'd expect more from an esteemed restaurant, and if they simply want the ingredients to shine, then it should be priced better. Above the highs and lows, there was simply not enough food. With the wine pairing, between my wife and I, we spent over $400. Yet, we had to stop at Quesada on the way home, as we were both still hungry! I've never been hungry after eating at Published, or even after having the tasting menu at The Acorn (vegetarian restaurant). This needs another course or more carbs. All things considered, the summer menu is not worth the money. Yes, there are delicious courses, but this a not a cheap meal, nor a restaurant with modest goals. However, I've had some amazing, 10/10 meals there before, so I'm sure adjustments can be made to ensure Burdock stays a preeminent restaurant on the Vancouver culinary scene. read more

Omg I had guests for the night so I got a selection of pastries. They are so good. Everything we tried we loved soft and flaky and crispy.

We celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary last night at Burdock. It was exquisite, extraordinary, and surpassed all expectations. We have eaten at many fine restaurants and Burdock is among the best. Every course offered something unique: tastes & textures that were delicious and beautiful but also creative & original. Burdick's Moon menu, changing 6 times a year, reflects a deep respect for the changing seasons and the farmers and fisherman who produce our food. All in all, it was a true celebration of food, nature, and remarkable artistic ability. Paul Phillips, Denver Colorado read more

Burdock & Company is one of Vancouver's Michelin Star restaurants with a small, intimate, casual dining experience. They serve a tasting menu that I love because you get to experience what the chef's latest inspired creations! I also recommend the wine pairing add-on to enhance the experience. The staff was VERY knowledgeable about the wines and they took the guesswork out of dining. It's like going to dinner at a world class chef's home and letting them whip up some amazing food! read more

Yech....... Small, boring, tables to close together, no artwork, nothing to give the restaurant any character. Food was mediocre.... at least until I found the hairs in my food in the 2nd course. The first hair I saw on my fork. I let it go as it wasn't in my food, could have been my hair, etc.... But the 2nd and 3rd I dug out of my mouth as I was chewing the food. The 4th hair I dug out at home with my toothbrush. I tried to eat the net course, but ...... yech. I really tried to put up a good front as I didn't want to ruin my husband's experience, but yech...... Almost $600 for 2 fixed menu, 1 high end wine pairing. Not even close to worth it. I have been to many Michelin restaurants all over the world. This one doesn't come close to even my least favourite. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed our evening out the other night. Dinner was very good and wine was excellent. We had the 5 course set menu, highlight: the duck was magnificent. read more

Price/quality (4/4): Came here for brunch, just in time for last call. I ordered the Swedish meatballs, which were quite impressive--the flavors were spot on and the texture was great too. It came with some toast, an egg, and some other toppings, which went very well together. Service (1/1): Service was friendly and effective. They also were able to seat me pretty quickly at the bar, which was a relief--many brunch places have long lineups, so I was really glad that this one didn't, at least not when it was close to 2pm. Would I come here again: Yes read more

Visited Burdock for Valentine's Day dinner with my sweetheart. It was a set menu consisting of 1) scallop crudo with sakura granita 2) beet and ricotta millefeuille with red endive and picked red onion, hibiscus gastrique 3) venison with maitake mushroom and "atomic carrots" 4) black sesame cake with raspberry mousse and ruby chocolate ice cream 5) honey and rose profiterole Unfortunately, the scallop crudo was not a good start. The texture was kind of slimy, and by kind of slimy, I mean "felt in my mouth like something that had been extracted during an alien autopsy." It is frankly the only thing separating this review from five stars. Maybe my partner and I are just not "scallop crudo people," but if so, with a set menu, perhaps the first course should have been something more accessible. Beet and ricotta millefeuille was absolutely wonderful. The ricotta was mixed with something savoury (garlic chives?). Perfect balance of flavours and textures. One bite of this set aside any worries about the meal which had developed during the first course. Lovely presentation. Venison was the third course. It was well cooked. Not the best venison I've ever had, frankly, but pretty good. Deep fried maitake mushrooms were a nice touch. This dish was served with something called "tomato glass" which seemed to be dehydrated tomato skin. It got sort of wet and sticky on my fork and didn't add a lot of flavor. There was also something that the menu described as "atomic carrots," which were unpleasantly salty. This is one of my few complaints about Burdock: pretentious names and preparations for things that might be better off being treated with simplicity. This dish had a nice, rich, umami taste overall. Just-right portion size. I'm not a huge black sesame fan, and wasn't expecting to like the fourth course, but it turned out to be lovely. It had a peanutty taste, which was just wonderful with both the raspberry flavour and the ruby chocolate flavour. Like a really, really elevated PB&J. Beautiful presentation. When Burdock is at its best, it can reintroduce you to ingredients you didn't think you liked and make them new and appealing. Honey and rose profiterole was probably my favourite course. The flavour of honey, rose, and fresh raspberry was just exquisite. I ordered a white wine called Movio with the first two courses - really pleasant notes of honey and roasted pear. I ordered a red called Ursa Major with the third course. Very dry and kind of barnyard/boot leather notes. I've noticed a trend at Burdock towards funky, barnyard tasting reds. If that is not your thing, stick with white or ask for a recommendation. read more
