    We had brunch and both meals were great tasting and very generous portions. The avocado toast comes with 2 fully loaded toast and looks like artwork in the presentation...perfect for the art gallery!! My daughter had the salmon lox bagel and again very generous with the lox especially comparing to other places we have been. Prices for both items very reasonable. We will be back the next time we visit Vancouver again.

    I ordered the salmon bowl. It was very good. I would order it again. When the restaurant is busy, it’s definitely noisy. Perhaps some carpeting or fabric to soften the room a little. Great service. I’ll definitely go back.

    Always love this restaurant. We must dine in whenever we go to the Art Gallery. It is a little gem in downtown, good food and service. We love sitting outside to overlook downtown from there.

    My first time back since Covid. No longer a cafeteria-style European food extravaganza but a real Bistro menu. Bonus: our reservation spanned Happy Hour. My business guests and I were very pleasantly surprised by the overall experience.

    Very nice setting. Sitting outdoors was a real treat. The food was well prepared and very tasty. Service was excellent and they have a very good wine list. We enjoyed our visit.
