Delightful setting for a delightful meal. Even on a cloudy day it's great fun overlooking the beach from the second story (street level) of this stylish location. We started with the crab and spinach dip, which was wonderfully creamy without being two rich. Then for entrees we have the ceviche--which was classically prepared with a nice hint of jalapeño to accompany the line--and the lettuce wraps. I particularly liked the couch of the peanuts and the kick of korean sauce in the wraps, and there was a half a head of iceberg lettuce to make wrapping easy. There's a nice cocktail list (excellent whiskey sour) and some interesting wines by the glass. Service was friendly. read more

Cactus club has something for everyone. It's really a good place to have lunch or dinner with familly, friends or coworkers. Lots of options to choose from. I especially love the shareables. The creole crab spinach dip is to die for. So tasty!! Also a good starter is the scallop shrimp ceviche. The mains are also very nice, I have had the tuna poke bowl and the baja fish tacos and yam fries. So yummy! Lately I had the thaï red curry, the curry sauce was excellent but the chicken was burned in some places so that was a bit disappointing. Cocktail are quite generous. Love the Pina colada and the Frozen Bellini! So many things to try you know you will have to come back. read more

Meh. This place has ok food with pretentious servers. Sorry you decided to work here and we wanted to enjoy a meal. We got the rigatoni, cajun chicken sandwich and a basic poke bowl for our toddler. For the poke bowl, I was surprised it was $30 with tuna that was grisly. It should have a more premium tuna at that price. The rigatoni reminded me of a premium version of hamburger helper. Iykyk. And the chicken although not what I expected, was good... not great. The truffle fries were the best part. I would not return. read more

What an amazing view!! This restaurant has the most beautiful view overlooking Stanley Park in the beach. There was a little bit of a wait because we did not have a reservation. We were set on the lower level outside. We had a baby with us and they were able to quickly make accommodations for us. The service was great. And the food was delicious as well. I have the crab dip pictured below the aerosol, spritz, fries, and Cajun chicken. It was all very delicious. The Cajun chicken was a little salty, but still very good. I would highly recommend. read more

Stopped by Cactus Club for happy hour after a walk around Stanley Park and had a fantastic time! We grabbed a table on the patio, which was perfect for enjoying the nice weather. We ended up ordering several rounds of the sunset soda (loved the bellini slush in it!), as well as the Longboard Lager. For food, we had the truffle fries, tuna temaki, and the Cajun chicken sandwich, all were delicious and hit the spot. Honestly, I have no complaints. Cactus Club is a staple, you can always count on consistently great food, drinks, and friendly service. It's a reliable go-to for casual get-togethers or happy hour with friends. Highly recommend! read more

Cactus Club English Bay is always an amazing place to go. The happy hour prices are pretty damn good and the at is always amazing. The view from the beach lounge is breathtaking. The food is incredible! I am a creature of habit so I tend to go for the avocado dip and prawn crunch and if I'm still hungry, I enjoy the steak frites. The staff here know how to make you feel like you are important and not just another number. Definitely recommend. read more

The food was fantastic! My friend and I both enjoyed every bite of every dish, and our bellinis were scrumptious. Our terrific waiter Angelo made our dining experience even more fun. I will definitely return here again next time I'm in Vancouver! read more

What could be more quinessential of a late spring happy hour than sitting in an open patio by the beach with a glass of frozen Bellini in early June. To top it off, it was in the middle of the week so there was no weekend crowds around but it was still rather busy. The signature frozen Bellini was sweet and refreshing. I had an aburi salmon roll. It was good enough for a happy hour selection in non-Japanese restaurant. The one at Aburi restaurants are better though. I just looked at the happy menu and the salmon roll is not offered anymore. read more

If you're looking for a quick drink around English Bay and want the Canadian hospitality you should definitely come here for happy hour! They have a lot of options on their drinks and food menu. There's essentially a dish for every culture and they're actually pretty good. This would be comparable to Joey DTLA but at a more affordable price especially if you're from the states where the USD is strong. Definitely recommend all new comers to try cactus a few times! read more

We came here for happy hour at around 4:00pm. We didn't make reservations so we were seated downstairs. We waited around 20 minutes before it was our turn. Tip: If you make reservations you can sit indoors upstairs We got the mini crispy chicken trio ($15.00), crab cake with fries ($23.00), a bellini ($8.00) and a Hey Hibiscus ($6.75). The mini crispy chicken trio was a bit dry but I liked the fresh lettuce and tomato. The crab cake with fries was recommended by our server. She told us to order the crab cake with fries over the crab cake as it's more worth it. The crab cake with fries come with salad. The fries are crispy and so are the crab cakes. There was a bit too much flour in the crab cakes but other than that not bad. The salad was also refreshing. The bellini was as sugary as I remember it. Great for happy hour and the Hey Hibiscus tastes exactly like a Starbucks refresher (if you are into that kind of thing). Overall - Cactus club is great for happy hour as the atmosphere is always good and the servers are always nice. The prices are also really good and the portions are big enough to be worth it. This location in particular is also really good for the view read more

Every time I go to Cactus Club, I get the blackened Creole chicken and this time was no different. However, this is the first time I've ever gotten broccolini instead of asparagus, and it was extremely welcome. Broccolini is so much better than asparagus in my opinion, especially for a soft mouth As always, the blackened Creole chicken was divine. The kind where you close your eyes with every bite so that you can taste all the flavours with less distractions. I also got their truffle fries to share with my partner and I have no complaints there. The fries were crispy, hot, and delicious. Service was a meh that day so it was nice to have the ocean view as the sun was slowly descending. read more

We came here as a large part of 8 + 1 child. We were totally sure we would not be able to get in because we were a large party and it was a nice day and this location is right on the beach. We were pleasantly surprised that not only were we able to get in, but we even got right outside along the fence line. We had a great view of the water. Our waiter was Mo and he took on the challenge of a large party! The food and drinks we had were incredible (I had the chicken tacos). Tom was the assistant manager/manager, and he was great in taking our group photo and gave us some extra attention. Sad we don't live in Canada, or else I would come here more often! They have other locations around Vancouver, but if you are near Stanley Park, I highly recommend checking out this location. On Tuesdays they have 1/2 off bottles of wine, so we got two bottles of wine probably for the price of one! read more

The ceviche was so fresh and delicious, so too was the veg burger and the server Hugo was just so engaging and fun to chat with. We went back a 2nd time during our visit because everything was so relaxing and tasty !! read more

We arrived at 3:45 much earlier than our 4:15 reservation and our host had us seated after only 5 minutes. The menus were provided and our server was with us not long after to give us water and answer any questions we had about the menu. We had a window table which gave us a stunning view of the sunset overlooking the bay. I cannot get over the sunset. We were celebrating my partners 30th birthday and the quick efficient service as well as the attention to detail by our server Azra, the whole experience was absolutely spectacular. My partners 30th birthday choose from the happy hour menu which though simple fried chicken with pickles and truffle fries the flavor was far from simple. The Cabernet complimented the meals perfectly and the bolognese was flavorful and rich. I wish I could have tried all the food but I was stuffed after the main course. The key lime pie was made in house which had a smooth and refreshing taste coupled with the whipped cream, my partner got the cheese cake on the house and he loved it. At 5pm they brought out candles for the tables which gave a romantic and calm vibe. All in all absolutely wonderful. read more

Came here with a friend on a weekday for lunch. Reservations recommended. There is valet parking across the street $11 -$13 per day depending what time you pull up. They actually don't check if you actually go to the restaurants you say you are since there is no validation. Came here for the view of English bay. we were seated upstairs in the dining room. There is a downstairs lounge area that is right off the beach but you don't see a lot of the view since you are tucked underneath. Had their non-alcoholic drinks - very yummy and refreshing Ordered: Crab Cake - not bad but only one piece Carpaccio Waygu - very good beef and good portions Fish Tacos with Yam fries extra on the side - nice juicy fish and good portions and very light and zesty sauce. Can't just have one yam fries. There is a 2-hour seating limit. read more

Reservations is a must here. Located right by English Bay beach, the view can be stunning. There are two levels, with the lower level having two sections (indoor and outdoor with heater during the cold weather). We managed to get a table outdoor since we didn't have a reservations. That suited us perfectly as we wanted to be by the beach for the view. The heater worked well in keeping us warm during a cool Spring afternoon. We were here just for drinks, and they were good. We didn't try the food, but I am sure the standard will be similar to other Cactus Club locations. Service was good too. read more

This was honestly the best meal we've had in Van. I had the salmon and oh my god it was to die for. Partner had this crunchy chicken dish and that was also top tier!! Drinks were pretty good, we had cheesecake for dessert that was absolutely Devine. The view was beautiful. Our waiter (I forget his name- but he's the guy who's planning to visit Italy on his own soon, you know who you are), absolutely amazing human being. I hope you never stub your toe, and you randomly find money on the ground. Such a cool dude and kind/attentive waiter. Truly best experience! read more

"Good, friendly service. Everyone liked the food except me. I had the Thai curry with crispy tofu. I found it bland and one-dimensional- not what I expected from a coconut milk curry. We will return someday as we generally love Cacus Club on the whole. Thank you read more

Lunched there with a beautiful view of English Bay. Typical of Cactus club is their great menu, their good service and their delicious food. However, they do rarely drop the ball, but at this place they didn't. We ordered the Cheddar Burger and Chicken Sandwich both with fries and started with Edemame. I'm not much of a chicken person, I'll pick red meat any day over chicken or even fish, but that day....I guess I wanted chicken. :| The chicken was so tender and juicy that it just melted in my mouth and with the right combo of sauces and ingredients......yeah...go try it. The Cheddar Burger was also nice, but I preferred the chicken...ironically. I felt the beef patty was a little dry, but honestly that was minor and I should've asked for it to be med-rare. For me it tasted a bit dry because I like my meat med-rare across the board....even with burger patties. Their fries were super hot and fresh and the edemame was a nice start....specially sprinkled with coarse salt.....yumm. read more

If I could give Cactus Club 1000 stars, then I would. This location in particular reminds me of summer visits to see my grandpa -- something that was especially fun once I was of age and we could bond over peach bellinis. This time around I made the mistake of trying the squash ravioli and now it's the only pasta dish I can think about 24/7! If I could order this dish and have it sent down to me in the states, then I would do it once a week just to have the delicious meal. All of the servers and hostesses are incredibly welcoming and it's nice that they stay open late for late night drinks. read more

I was walking past Cactus Club while going near the beach. I stopped in to grab a drink. I requested to sit outside on the patio to look out on the bay but they were closing the patio (at around 2pm so I'm not sure why). I sat at the bar and ordered one of their seasonable drinks- a tequila seltzer with guava juice and it was very refreshing. The only thing that would've improved the space was an outside view. read more

This place has arguably the best sunset views in Vancouver. The wait time was long for the patio but we made it with less than a minute to spare before the sun went down...it was the last day on our first ever visit to Vancouver and this sunset view was what we REALLY wanted! Got our pics....JUST! Staff are lovely, friendly and as attentive as they can be with the high volume. There is consistency with the food and cocktails across the franchises which is good. Both are yum! Watch the outside heaters though as ours was either ON full or OFF. Would highly recommend with the proviso that you arrive at LEAST an hour before sunset to wait for the patio if that's what you are looking for, OR book an inside window table in advance. read more

We visited the beach lounge at cactus club today after a bicycle ride around Stanley park. We sat on the patio looking out over the beach. Our waiter was Cody who was top notch.

Really enjoyed our visit and will definitely come back before we leave. read more

Always wanted to come here, and finally fulfilled it ! Staff was friendly and we had such beautiful weather as well. I was told they have an amazing cocktail selection and it did not disappoint. They had so many different and interesting drinks that it was so hard to pick, but finally I went with the Frozen Brazilian. It was delicious and perfectly blended, and it's not often I see cocktails with kiwi in them. The crispy chicken sliders are a starter, but I had them as a main course and it was perfect. Not too heavy and not too greasy, loved the breading. Side of yam fries were very yummy as well. read more

The ambiance and service was great. However, we went as a party of 12 and about 6 of us had a really bad stomach after dining. We wrote to the restaurant only to receive a generic response assuring us that "they only use fresh ingredients". No further action was taken. We followed up with an email to ask if any other guests were unwell but received no response. I won't be going there again. read more

Needed a place for a late dinner that was close to our hotel and also served a variety of options. We have a hard time finding restaurants for our group as we have dietary restrictions (vegetarians) and some picky eaters in our group. Our table overlooked the water and there was a beautiful view. Great ambiance from the candles and music. Everyone in our party found multiple amazing looking items on the menu and we had a hard time choosing. The crispy chicken sandwich, spicy chicken and pickles, vegan sushi, and the Szechuan lettuce wraps were our final picks. Service was amazing and friendly, very helpful with making recommendations. Sizeable cocktail menu, including quite a few nice non-alcoholic options. Prices are definitely reasonable for the quality. We were excited to find out that there are many more locations of Cactus Club in BC, and look forward to coming here again. read more
