Well, what better time to go then for my boyfriend's birthday? We came with somewhat full tummies and so we only got the cauliflower to share which was unique but the real star of the show are there cocktails. I started out with their cocktail which is their name sake: grapes and soda. It was so drinkable and delicious. My boyfriend got their special which he loved so watch out for those. We tried another one that was really a beautiful drink which I think was the umeshu shiso soda wari and finally zombie cure. 3.5 oz and you do NOT taste the booze -- these drinks are DANGEROUS and delicious. Come for the good cozy vibes and drinks. Maybe leave more room than I did as I spotted some beautiful local inspired menu items!

If I had to find a fault I would say the fries could be a little crisper. They have 19 ciders on draught, which are available by the 12oz or as a 4x4oz flight. I recommend doing the flight, as there are so many delicious flavours of ciders that this is the best way to try many. There is a small outside patio, and reasonable sized seating area inside. We were there mid-week for a late lunch, so they werent too crowded, but I can imagine this place is very popular in the evening and weekends. It's also a convenient short walk to Kitsilano beach. What better way to cool off after some sun than some cold cider!

This review is 3 months late, but even a few months later, we remember our meal like it was yesterday and can't wait to return the next time we're in Vancouver. Getting to experience a Michelin Guide-recommended vegan restaurant was one of the highlights of our trip! We had (from the June 2025 menu): the Bread, the Broccolini, the Chickpea Tofu, and the Potato Cavatelli. Not a single crumb, morsel, drizzle of sauce, or even pea was left on the plates! Every bite was so full of flavor and decadent, we were so sad when the meal was over ;) The stand-out though was the Chickpea Tofu, the best tofu we've ever had and it seemed to just melt in your mouth. We also loved sitting at the bar that overlooks the open kitchen. They offer those seats for guests who want a more immersive, interactive dining experience. It was really cool to watch the chefs create each masterpiece. Overall a truly memorable and delicious experience!

We made a reservation ahead of time, and it was a good thing we did because the place filled up soon after we got there.

I loved the flavour of the beef, and it was so good with tzatziki. It was also served with this thinly sliced cucumber that resembled noodles, and it looked really pretty on the plate! And who doesn't love lemon-roasted potatoes? I could eat like 10 of those for myself!

I forget the name), and the grilled sea bream. Both dishes were incredible. Our server was Jay and he couldn't have been nicer. Everyone was lovely. We definitely will be back!

There is free entry; you just have to wait in line for a stamp, but it's worth the wait. You can buy drinks at the concession stand, where they sell some craft beer, coolers, and non-alcoholic options. On one side of the concession, there's also a place to buy bottles of wine. Once you've got your drinks, there are plenty of different tables and chairs to sit at, or you can just stand, which is what my friend and I did. Connected to the concession, they also sell Downlow Chicken. I didn't get any, but it smelled sooo good, and I'll definitely have to try it next time I visit. Honestly, this place reminded me of a lot of spots I've been to in Europe, which I absolutely love. I'm so glad we're starting to get cool places like this in Vancouver!

I really enjoyed the meal here and I loved their potatoes! I personally found the bacon topping on the benny to be a bit too salty. I also found that the biscuit was overcooked and quite hard. I was looking to get some water, but there were no cups left out, and the staff was too busy to help us. It was pretty chaotic in there, but we did go on a holiday so that may have been a factor. The food was good but because of the ambiance and difficulty in getting service I had a less than ideal experience.

We ordered their shakshuka from their brunch menu - it was pretty good! The sourdough bread was amazing!! We also got their chicken sando which came with buttermilk chicken, salad, and pickles.

The fried are so addicting and morrish. A bit of old oil flavour which is understandable considering the amount they are frying. It's not crispy but instead very potatoey. The sauce that it comes with (like mayo) went so well with it. Could eats lots of it. Salad was also a welcome addition to make it feel a bit healthier Overall great little French lunch spot

I mean Chef…read moreAdam's food speaks for itself so he doesn't need me to encourage you to dine there but I'll go ahead and try it anyway. This is the best Italian food in town. The menu changes constantly depending on what is fresh and in season. Take a look at my photos on this page to see the range. Last night an heirloom tomato and onion salad tasted like the last of summer exploding in our mouths. There are usually 4 - 6 different fresh pastas to choose from. We shared a halibut with tomato one and bolognese last night. These pastas are the definition of al dente. No place in Vancouver does it this well. There is an extensive wine list sure not to disappoint and make sure to start or finish with a cheese or two. The parmesan is mind blowing perfection. They don't take reservations and this outstanding restaurant is quite small and busy so be prepared for a wait. If you are going with a group larger than 2, the La Querica side does take reservations and I've found that to be an equally exceptional option. Just a little more casual on the L'ufficio side.
