Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Downtown

Excellent! Highly recommend stopping here if you’re in Vancouver.

The Botanist was recommended to us by our nephew and since we were going to Vancouver we made reservations at the last minute. Brunch was the only meal available during our stay and we have zero regrets! The service was attentive, but not intrusive (shout out to Jess, who was friendly, professional and helpful - always able to answer our questions about ingredients and preparation style!). We opted for the full 3 courses and each was more impressive than the last. The aesthetics of each dish, the quality of the ingredients and the flavor profiles were absolutely delightful! Being able to enjoy the courses with a mimosa and a cocktail was a pleasant surprise, as well. And the drinks? Truly inspired! And then live DJ was a fun addition. We left feeling giddy, and it wasn't just the sparkling wine talking.... we felt welcomed, cared for and well-fed. Our experience at The Botanist was the perfect exclamation point on an already fabulous visit to Vancouver. We hope to be back again the next time we journey north ...

Outstanding food and service. We sat at the Chefs Table where we looked directly into the kitchen. Wonderful experience. 10/10 would recommend for anyone.

The service at Earls Kitchen + Bar - Fir Street - Vancouver is top-notch! . The food was great! And the service, the manager came up to us and gave us sweet treats for my daughter's burthday, its amazing, overall is great! The restaurant was aesthetic! Great dinning! Music was great! And all the server is friendly, ! Will definately come back!

The chicken fried mushrooms were not great - the dip was fantastic, but if you like dipping deep fried dough then this may be wonderful for you. The Babaganoush was fantastic but I think pita bread would be a better accompaniment than lavash - it was thin and hard. Best dish was the cauliflower. Our server was amazing!
