Dip platter
Carl C.

Located on the top floor of the nest, the Gallery is a restaurant/bar in one of the most convenient locations on campus. The entire restaurant is nicely decorated, with comfortable furniture and a nice causal atmosphere. Great for chatting, but maybe a bit loud for studying or doing anything productive. My friend and I came here during happy hour, where they have 5 dollar dip platters and select drinks on discount. My mojito was pretty good, and the various dips were surprisingly delicious. The service is pretty nonexistent, you basically seat yourself, you pay for your drinks at the counter and then go and pick them up yourselves once it's ready. Overall this is probably the best place to relax after classes, and the patio is a great place to grab some drinks and forget about the stress of upcoming midterms and exams.

Shepherds pie
Vickie Y.

One of my favourite restaurants/ places to eat on UBC campus. The gallery 2.0 serves a variety of snacks, meals at an affordable price. Usually busy around meal times but doesn't get too full. We ordered the shepherds pie and fried chicken burger and I have to say the gallery Po'boy was amazing. Probably one of the best fried chicken I've ever had. The food portion is generous for the price compared to point grill. Service was good although food came a bit slow (15-20 mins). Gets a bit dark at night - really only candles and dim light in the restaurant. Will definitely come back to try other items on the menu!

As a student its super convenient. I'd recommend the gallery as a catch location when you haven't seen your friend in forever, group hangout or even a date. The decor is cute, you feel classy but also don't feel the need to impress. It definitely isn't the most affordable place on campus, but the location is very centralized. The fries were sweet and salty and the view was gorgeous. What can I say other than I'd go back during happy hour, but probably not anytime soon otherwise. Solid 4/5 for happy hour 3-3.5/5 any other time of day

Seating inside
Melissa C.

Being a UBC Alumni with the old Student Union Building, this new UBE Nest is the ultimate upgrade. And with an eatery at the top 4th floor with an outdoor patio is a cherry on top! The interior of Gallery 2.0 is saturated with natural light and a beautiful range of seating from booths, common tables, couch seating and an outdoor patio. The menu had a range of pub like food and lots of drink options. My boyfriend and I just wanted a snack, so we decided on the All-day Breakfast Sandwich ($3.95) with a side of fries ($2). We chose our spot with our number in hand and we grabbed a pot of ice water for our table too. The major downside, as stated in other reviews as well, was the wait. It was a Monday early evening but it took 25 minutes to get our 2 breakfast sandwiches and fries! What is even more disappointing was that the food wasn't even hot. Regardless, everything tasted good. The breakfast sandwich had a crispy english muffin and real cheddar cheese and a decent slice of ham. The fries were typical but good too. Overall, very very nice atmosphere but the wait time was a killer for the mood, especially if you're hungry.

A hidden and unseemingly aesthetic pub for cheap, delicious eats on UBC Campus!…read more Good vibes, generous portions, friendly staff, and delicious tacos and beer! Koerner's Pub has everything you need to decompress after a stressful study session or exam. Serving the best, soft shell, gluten free tacos on campus, I was hooked after my first visit! The toppings were super fresh, had just the right ratio of sauce to protein, and they were HUGE for only $5 each. OR you could get 3 tacos for $13! I could barely finish one, let alone 3 because of how large they were! They also have a huge selection of beers to pair with your tacos and a variety of meal combos for you to save $$, which is totally necessary for a broke student scavenging for food.

I had their amazing mac and cheese. I enjoyed it with my fellow students as a pre-seminar lunch. A lot of people had the same and also had the poke. There was a lot of people who enjoyed both the mac and cheese and the poke. I would recommend this to anyone on ubc campus who wants some good hearty comfort food.

I liked that there were high rise student buildings but a lot of greenery. I could see a lot of parks/walking trails. The hotel/studio itself was okay. Check in was easy. I think parking was $16-18 a day. The total for our room was $180 Canadian dollars (about $140 a night/US). I think it is on the more expensive side since the room was very basic and small. It was just big enough for our family of three but beyond that, it would be very very tight. They had a kitchennette next to the bed. I guess that could be useful if you're a student staying for longer than a day. The elevators weren't working on the day that we arrived. We had to wait like 10 min to get on the elevator to take us to the 6th floor. For a basic hotel, it was decent but priced on the higher side. I guess the room rate is considered cheap for Vancouver though.

The service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, and the food? So much of it. We actually had to take some home, which almost never happens with high tea. The pastries and sandwiches were not only beautifully presented, but also creative and well-executed--nothing felt like filler. You can tell there was real thought put into the menu. The space itself is elegant and charming, making it perfect for a pre-spring outing, a catch-up with friends, or a low-key celebration. Would I come back? Absolutely--especially for a themed menu like this.

Service - 9/10. Everyone we interacted was very kind and helpful. We especially enjoyed our time with the bartender who was attentive to our needs. Smoked salmon bagel -- 9/10. This was really good and fulfilling. The smoked salmon tasted fresh. Avocado toast -- 9/10. Solid avocado toast which paired nicely with the salad and poached egg. I ordered some bacon on the side for some additional protein Berry french toast -- 4/10. I found this to be dry and lacking in flavor. I wouldn't recommend this. Wings -- 6.5/10. The wings were just ok to me. I personally prefer when my wings are already separated. Flavor was good for the first bite, but got tiring after French onion soup -- 5/10. This was my first time trying french onion soup, so I could honestly just not like the dish, but I thought it tasted awful. At the end we just had chunks of cheese Chocolate cake -- 8/10. Super rich and decadent. A great dessert option if you're looking for something to end the meal!

It was served in a scalding hot bowl. The rice was crispy at the bottom and I was amazed at how well it retained its heat. Even when I blew on each spoonful to cool it down, it was still piping hot when it entered my mouth. My niece ordered some tacos and said they were really good. She said she had ordered them before so they must've been good indeed since it was a repeat order for her. My mom's Avocado Benedict looked really good. I will have to try ordering that for myself next time! Service was "meh". It was one of those situations where I could see our server but he was constantly facing the wrong direction.

The patio itself is in a beautiful spot and they've added patio heaters, which makes it comfortable even when it's a bit cooler outside. The food was good overall, and the menu is what you'd expect from Earls -- solid options with something for everyone. Unfortunately, the patio cleanliness took away from the experience. When we sat down, there was bird poop on my cutlery and water glass, which meant I had to ask the manager to replace them. After that, they brought out another glass that had bird poop on it. So, I also had to ask for the entire table setting to be refreshed so everyone had clean utensils and glasses. To make matters worse, there was bird poop on the couch cushion as well. I understand patios can be tricky with birds around, but it did feel like the table area should have been checked and cleaned before seating guests. Overall, it's still a nice patio, dog-friendly, and the food was good, but I'd recommend the staff do a more thorough check of the outdoor seating before guests are seated to avoid situations like this. The patio heaters and location are definitely nice perks, though.

We started with the nachos, which were the best I've had in Vancouver. Be aware that a half order is plenty for four people as a starter. The superfood salad looked delicious, but I'm not sure the grilled bun was a superfood, however it was super tasty! The Baja fish tacos were also good. Lots of filling, and nicely crisped fish. The Korean chicken bowl was probably my favorite--sweet spicy sauce on crunchy fried chicken bites. I wish they'd had places like this to eat on campus when I was in college!

The hostess confirmed my reservation but apparently they got a massive rush cuz everyone was going to the concert decided to go here. She seemed a little frazzled and asked me to give her a minute. She came back and told the other people waiting their table would be coming up shortly and took us to a long table that sat 8 or 10 people. I said to her I said hey. Look if you need to use the other side of the table please go right ahead and do so. I said I don't even care if someone sitting next to me. She thanked me graciously and then took a few moments to ask what we were up to tonight. We chatted for about a minute. Since we were pressed for time for happy hour she said she'd send the waitress over right away , she smiled and went on her happy way. We tried the Little nachos, OMG these are amazing and addictive. I also got the Smashburger Taco, winner! Another awesome dish. My only regret is I tried one and I should have done the two because my husband and daughter also thoroughly enjoyed it and pretty much consumed over half of it, lol Daughter had the spicy Korean barbecue chicken appetizer which was very good and my husband had the French dip which was different with the bacon jam. The beef was a thicker cut, I prefer a very thin. The au jus was excellent and so was the fries. The manager popped over and asked how everything was and I told her how much we enjoyed the nachos and she said on Sundays you can get the full size ($24) for the price of the little nachos ($17) and on Monday they also have a deal on the little nachos for $9. I was super impressed with the customer service not only from the hostess and the server, but the manager. I went up to the hostess stand thanked her in front of the manager, gave her a cash tip and told the manager how awesome she was considering the situation and how calm she remained. The manager introduced herself, shook my hand and thanked me. Unfortunately we live in Surrey otherwise I would make this a frequent go-to as I was so impressed with the service and the quality of the food. Looking forward to when we get to go back.
