Best Dinners With Show In Vancouver Near Me

Connie Ono: If this is your first time visiting Vancouver, Miku would be my top recommendations on your itinerary list for places to eat. Now, this isn't your typical sushi restaurant, in fact, I would consider this to be fine dining and here's why.When it comes to Japanese food, presentation is the most important next to customer service level, and they are bang on. I absolutely love how intricate their sushi layered to simplicity on a plate. Reminds me of a zen garden. The waiters/ waitress' are knowledgeable of their dishes being served and super friendly! Dishes are, at minimum $20, but the portions are decently sized. (Anything with Wagyu will always be expensive).They do offer gluten -free and vegetarian dishes and non alcoholic drinks.(I had their Shiso Nojito and it was the most refreshing non-alcoholic I've ever had. Not too sweet either).Overall, I would highly recommend it for first time travellers to Vancouver. It's absolutely a beautiful place to dine in!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free available

Keith C: We had the 7 course Kaiseki dinner and were very impressed by the taste of most of the dishes. Also, the portion is very large and we found it quite heavy.Favourites are the insanely tender fillet, the Hokkaido scallop, oyster, and fresh sashimi.Few of the menu items were a miss, such as the Uni (Sea urchin) which we found not fresh at all. And sake pairing was late for one of the courses.Overall, this was a delicious meal and definitely recommended. We would have liked some lighter dishes that were not fatty-protein-focused, or slightly less portion for lower price (like the omakase platter at the end). Bring a large appetite if you are ordering this tasting menu!

Junky Mailhai: For the price, I thought that it’s an okay place. The food is fresh and the service is good. I didn’t love the sushi. It was good but not amazing. At CAD $50 per person, I felt that it could be a bit more than what it was. The salmon sushi and the soba noodles were tasty.Recommended dishes Sushi …More

Alexander Chan: Went to Minami last year and had saved Miku for a special occasion. Food was great and the space is really nice, but was disappointed they changed the surf and turf roll without changing the name.

t t: Sushi in Vancouver is an obvious choice and I visited Miku recently for the first time. Due to its popularity we weren’t able to get a reservation for dinner but came as a walk in at lunch time!! Great service and atmosphere, views right in the harbour. If you love sushi you 100% need to go here.

ミスタードーナツ: People go here for the pressed sushi, which is pretty awesome, but their protein selection is pretty impressive to. Try the lamb, try the prime rib.

Joel Chan: This restaurant was a fantastic experience. The food was delicious and had surprisingly large portions. Our server was professional and attentive. My ribeye steak was cooked perfectly medium rare and the sablefish was also delicious. The surf and turf role was excellent and I would order it again. The view was also lovely during dinner.

Chris L: I love Miku! Every time I’m in Vancouver I make sure to go and get the tart in my photo. In fact, on my last trip I went four days in a row for lunch. Definite must try when I’m Vancouver.Recommended dishes Salmon Oshi Sushi, Sashimi Platter, Aburi Sushi …More

Homesteading Heather: Best food I've had all year. Staff were friendly and helped me choose some great dishes. View was amazing!!! I had the soft shell crab appetizer, sashimi lunch, and their pressed sushi which had a great charred flavour while still being light and fresh.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Joanna R: I had an excellent, hearty breakfast here, as I would not get lunch due to travelling at lunchtime.I had the bison hash with sauerkraut, kale, eggs and toast, it was delicious. I felt it was let down by Forage not having freshly ground pepper; the only pepper option was ground in a little shaker; this is a curious decision given the attention to curing meats in-house, and making fresh sourdough etc.If you are in Vancouver and want a hearty, well-prepared breakfast Forage is worth a visit. When I am next in Vancouver I will quite likely eat breakfast here again.

Maira Malik: Went for brunch this morning, the waitress spilled a bowl of berries on me. I was very shocked she didn’t help to clean it, they did not compensate me at all, or do anything to make up for the mishap. We were also constantly waiting on things even though they were fairly slow at the time we were there.

R. Schubert: Start to finish, front to back, great experience on every level and vegetarian friendly!If you are like me, farm-to-table is your go-to criteria for eating in a region you have not been to. For this reason, I picked out Forage for a family dinner during my first visit to Vancouver. Everything we had was just varying degrees of amazing.We started with the Cast Iron Pan Bread which is served in the cast iron. It is warm, sweet and savory, made with local cheddar and spicy honey. It is somewhere in between a mini Detroit style pizza and a sweet fried bread like an apple fritter. From the starters, I assume you should try everything, but do not miss the cast iron bread.Next up we ordered a trio of mains: Mushroom Steak, Pork Crépinette (our one meat dish), and the gnocchi. All three may be the best version of each that I have eaten.The mushroom steak was perfectly tender. Lion’s mane over a celeriac puree with mushroom jus. Topped with crispy onion rings for some crunch. I have a love-hate relationship with mushrooms and this dish is way over on the love side.Two out of my top three all time meat-eating experiences have involved a farm-to-table pork sausage, and Forage’s Crépinette is one of them. The pork crépinette is divine. The loin part is tender and juicy, and the ground sausage is on another level all together. It was topped with an excellent peppercorn sauce as well as a parsley coulis and an apple purée. Three sauces is bold, especially when sausage brings so much flavor to the table but this whole dish was perfectly balanced. Everyone who tried it was blown away.Lastly we had the gnocchi. They were pillowy and soft, topped with brown butter crumb for some crunch and tossed in a delicious nettle cream. The Alpindon cheese also brought some nutty flavor to the dish.To round it all out we had the whiskey spiked vegetables as a side. This was a fine plate of roasted carrots and parsnips. Not that we needed more food, but they rounded out the meal.Finally, against some protest from very full and content diners, I ordered the spice cake to share for the table. This was possibly one of the best desserts I have ever had. The cake was perfectly moist, topped with pickled apples, buttermilk gel, candied orange zest (which blew all of our minds), and a pecan crumble for crunch. Surrounding the cake was an orange custard that we almost came to blows over. I cannot sing this dessert’s praises enough.Our service was fantastic. We were here on a Saturday night and never once felt like we were rushed or off pace with the meal. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful and really made the whole experience great for each of us.Eat at Forage. I know I will return when I am back in Vancouver.Vegetarian options: There are lots of delicious vegetarian options on this menu. We had a great meal and ordered just one dish with meat for the table (out of six).

Romain Pire: It was very good !!

Haritos Kavallos: Spent a few days at the Listel Hotel and Forage was recommended to me by several folks. The restaurant has a nice modern feel, the staff were welcoming and helpful in their recommendations. If you are into locally sourced and sustainable foods, Forage might be up your alley! I should also mention…. Their sourdough pan bread is an absolute treat and definitely a must if you visit (it’s great as an appetizer or dessert!).

Helen Gaughran: Amazing food and ambiance and our brilliant server Hershey gave us fantastic recommendations on what to do in Whistler!

Linda Lloyd: Amazing! Wonderful food; excellent service from the server, bar service and the general manager. Probably the best meal I’ve ever had from New York to Sydney. Excellent. Not even words can describe. So glad friend’s recommended!

Jeffrey Robinson: We used to come for celebratory dinners pre-pandemic, and came back for one more tonight and left after appetizers, and hungry.The food didn’t disappoint, except the gluten free option for the carpaccio. Freezer burnt udis bread, even rice crackers from no-frills would have been a better option, but honestly at your price point we expect better. My partner decided to endure tomorrow’s pain of gluten in the really tasty sourdough crisps, instead of tonight’s pain of eating the horrible toast.We decided to sit at the bar, because we appreciated the product knowledge and friendly service Forage bartenders have provided us in previous visits. Tonight was a bust - the bartender was abrasive with us, we felt as though we were putting him out by sitting there. We’ve never had a bartender need to warm up to us, this was a first. He did have a great product knowledge and was cheerful, but he saved that for his co-workers. To top things off, he put his hands down his pants at least 20 times to adjust his shirt - is that even food safe?We had a couple of drinks each and three small plates for $150. Honestly, had the service been better our bill would likely have been more than double and his tip significantly larger. Forage and the bartender lost out tonight.Peter the general manager came over to introduce himself early in the (almost) dinner. It was a nice touch, had his standard of service been matched by staff, the night might not have ended up in a stop at McDonalds on our walk home. FYI, the service at McDonalds was much more friendly.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free substitutes were not up to the same standard as the rest of the food.

Stephen Yeung: Update: Peter and his team did a great job reaching out and making sure our second visit was high quality. The food and service was much better and more prompt this time. I'll be back again.Had higher hopes for Forage. 30 mins after we ordered the server told us there was a "glitch" and the order didn't get submitted. We waited a long time for food and they didn't comp anything for the long wait. Food was decent for the price, but not great.

Alois Callemyn: I hate giving a bad review, but this restaurant is the worst place I’ve been to for breakfast. The service is very bad. Our waitress didn’t come very quickly and then couldn’t speak English. She then took forever to bring us coffee. Most restaurants I’ve been to for breakfast greet you with coffee. We then had to flag down someone to ask for a coffee refill. Food came out after a short wait, but no salt and pepper offered.The staff seemed overwhelmed and the tables were way to close, the loud conversation from the couple sitting less than 2’ away was very disturbing.Again, I hate giving a bad review (98% of my reviews are 4+) but feel that future visitors need to be warned.

Steven Xu: Food 5/5Service 5/5Excellent pork belly benedict, and French toast, the boba on top was bland in the middle, would prefer syrup ots instead.

Chris McCloud: Seasonal local menu. Food was lovely and service was great. Friendly atmosphere. If you want to try something different try the bison board. The marrow was probably the best I have ever had. Vegetables were well cooked but still crisp and the bison cheek and steak as tender as could be. Pork was delicious. Will definitely return again Thank you.

Nick Villanti: Had a great Easter brunch with the family. Was able to get a reservation for 6 without issue (we did book a week in advance). Due to the holiday they did request we be done in 75 minutes for the next party.Great drinks and food. I had the whiskey latte and the pork belly Benedict. Highly recommend. Family also had the pancakes, which they loved as well.

Andy Chiang: This is a wonderful restaurant located on West 1st, close to the beach, and a wine store next door. Very awesome space, the food and service definitely match up to it.It’s one of the Michelin star restaurants in Vancouver and it’s definitely earned its reputation. The food was absolutely delicious and carefully crafted. Every bite was perfect and everything just seemed to work well.The cocktails were also delicious and matched well with the dishes.The dessert was fresh and gave a palette cleansing experience - definitely another highlight from an already amazing dinner.If you’re worried about being hungry after the tasting menu, you won’t be. It definitely will fill you. I don’t think you even need to opt for the add ons, but I found it filling.Don’t worry about parking either as there is plenty of paid parking in the area. We got lucky and found one right outside the restaurant but cars come and go quite often enough.I would highly recommend coming here, but book well in advance as they fill up quickly.

Curtis B: Three visits to date and the food continues to be great. The service had some very strong points and was generally quite warm. Where things fell flat for me were the wine pairings. Three of the five had natural wine characteristics, which were not to my taste and repetitious. I commented that the first pairing tasted of vinegar and was told by the sommelier that she tastes each bottle. Essentially, I was wrong. No alternative or suggestion that I may not enjoy the next couple of glasses was given. It was an odd resolution and really detracted from the experience.

M G: Visited this place post Michelin accreditation and it was def a good experience. The new chapter of the tasting menu is something that caught my attention, so I decided to give it a try. Being a meat lover, looking at multiple vegetarian courses made me a bit unsure if I'd enjoy the experience to the max. But oh!! I was so wrong. The vegetarian options instead took the spotlight. The croutons with the crudités complemented with the garlic sauce took my breath away and the miso ice cream (WOW!!!), was to die for!! It's the wow factor that earns some places a sound recognition and this place definitely deserves it. Yet there were a few kinks here and there.I saw some unnecessary additions of certain herbs (to a few courses) that didn't really make any sense, like they didn't really compliment the dish or elevate it in any way. Adding some idle leaves does add to the appeal of the plating, but nothing more. The sauces could be refined a tad bit more, just a dash of some sort of extra flavour (like hints of special tea, etc).Apart from that, this place unquestionably left a lasting impression on me and I would surely like to visit again!

yana yushkina: AnnaLena continues to be my favourite Van restaurant. Every dish surprised without being overly pretentious and the service from Tyler and Nick at the bar was A+. Will be back again and again.

davince: favorite fine dining restaurant. had a great birthday there 🎂

Jessica Villavicencio: Excellent service from the whole staff.Meal was delicious and interesting👌🏽 will be back!

Tina Hibbs: We had an amazing experience at Anna Lena - the service and cuisine was exceptional! We found the environment fun and relaxed, sitting at the bar and enjoying cocktails provided a special impression. Anna Lena makes a conscious effort to source ingredients locally, I wont get into each individual dish but Anna Lena is worth checking out - recommend you place your name on the waitlist as last minute spots do open up.Thank you to the team at Anna Lena, we left quite full from some of the best food we had ever enjoyed! The details of everything we were served was carefully considered and extraordinary.

Aelfares S: Amazing everything!! 100% would recommend

No MSG No Garlic Foodie: AnnaLena has been on my radar for about four years. Occasionally, I would check their menu. Finally last week, two things came together: Chapter Sixty Two menu and availability of a table at the last minute. We found most of the dishes outstanding in the way flavors and ingredients were combined. Intricate, exciting, and multi-tiered are some of the descriptions that came to mind. If I could give six stars for some of the dished, I would. We were served two bonus starters, seared scallop with needle stick fries and sauce, and single bite size banh mi inspired mini sliders. The scallop was perfectly cooked and the trimmings most enjoyable. The first dish of spring salad was thankfully unlike the boxed Earthborn spring leaves with the same name, the endive and roasted beets excelled with the yuzu apple vinaigrette and finishes well with roasted hazel nuts and hazel nuts custard. I was going to skip the garlic parmesan torn bread because of my unpredictable garlic allergy, but discovered that I couldn’t even smell or taste the garlic (hmm, did that make a special torn bread for me??). The torn bread was amazingly soft like brioche sprayed with parmesan sauce and then flamed. The chowder was more like a white wine light broth with delightful pieces of tender clams and sprinkles of flavored oil. Very yummy! The smoked cod was a bit uneventful, but the sweet potato agnolotti was enjoyable. The BBQ Fraser Valley Poultry BBQ chicken consommé was very intense. I think I prefer that to beef consommé. We all thought the aged strip loin was totally boring. Two pieces of 1 inch square rare 3-day dry aged beef were probably sous vide and then placed on the dish with sauce poured over. I would have enjoyed them more if they were lightly torched along the edges to complete the taste of the fat. My favourite item in this particular dish was the broccoli puree which I will try to experiment at home! To finish, we were served walnut ice cream with poached pear. The poached pear turned out to be the star with an intricate mixture of sour and sweet, and the ice cream, a great accompaniment at the perfect temperature.Ambiance, however, is a crucial part to the total dining experience. The sound was 80 decibels when we first sat down and before all the patrons started drinking. All evening, we were more than annoyed at the loud bass that came through without the music being audible. The sound system did not complete the dining experience, it racked the dining experience. We couldn’t really hear the server’s description of each dish, we could hardly hear each other talk. Throughout the two and a half hours, we ate the food with the bass thumping loudly – at near headache level. The four of us were quite surprised that there were no acoustical foam hanging in the ceiling. We felt assaulted by the bass-heavy noise, as though we were forced to try Michelin Star menu in an empty warehouse. I would have loved to be able to enjoy the same menu with happy classical music from some of the Baroque masters because that would have really matched the details and flavours of the food in both form and tastes. Of all the one star Michelin restaurants we tried in Vancouver, we found AnnaLena’s Chapter Sixty Two menu our top choice, six stars for the food, five stars for the service and minus one star for the music, of course.

Connie C: A very nice experience trying out the dining menu #62. We definitely get to try somethings that we otherwise wouldn’t order. The bread in the clam sauce was a highlight. I also liked very much how the scallop and beef was cooked and seasoned. Some other dish fell flat for me, but was still pleasant surprises.

David Luu: I visited and AnnaLena for a birthday dinner over a month ago. It was an incredible meal with friendly service and food that came out promptly one dish after another. The highlights of the meal were the deconstructed lasagna dish which was astonishingly delicious and the torn bread dish.The staff clean the bread crumbs off your table, fold your napkin for you when you step away from the table, and change cutlery after almost every dish. Service feels attentive, but not too intrusive. Some of the staff were a little awkward, but so am I so who am I to complain. This restaurant is certainly worthy of its Michelin star. My only complaint is that the table set up is rather close for a few of the tables. For example, when the staff are having a conversation with the patrons at another table, I regrettably had a butt in my face while I was eating. This is a minor gripe that didn’t get in the way of an otherwise great meal.AnnaLena was wonderful, I would come again most certainly as the menu continues to change.
