Acorn - East Vancouver

Amazing little place, mind blowing great food. We did the chefs tasting menu so we got to taste all kinds of Amazing foods that we wouldn't have other wise been able to experience.Vegan friendly if you wanted to know.

I am a true omnivore, I love both meat and vegetable dishes. What I don’t love is vegetarian restaurants that have uninspired menus consisting of meat dishes (burgers, fried chicken, eggs, sausages, etc. where the centerpiece of the dish has been replaced with a not as great plant-based imitation. I was absolutely thrilled to find Acorn is a restaurant with precisely 0 such items.Acorn is a restaurant where they have committed to plants as the focus of every dish, and have designed each menu item to highlight and complement the best of fresh, locally grown, and in season plants. The execution is excellent. Definitely worth a visit, even for a meat lover!Oh, and the cocktails were also great!

I recently had my second dining experience at Acorn and it left me with mixed feelings.The presentation was undoubtedly a highlight each dish was artfully plated, showcasing a creative touch. However, some of the flavour profiles didn't quite match the visual appeal.The portion sizes were on the smaller, and I found myself searching for a satisfying fullness that never quite materialized.In summary, the restaurant offered a distinctive culinary experience with artistic presentation, but it fell short when it came to the depth of flavors and portion sizes. It's a place that might appeal more to those seeking vegan dining, but those with hearty appetites might find themselves leaving less than fully satisfied.

Wonderful service, great atmosphere, affordable prices. Locally sourced produce, prepared exquisitely and properly seasoned.Highly recommend the pre fixe menu!

We went to the bus place with very high expectations and it did deliver. We tried a few things, the halloumi, legume lettuce tacos I guess and a tomato salad. We tried a very unique dessert, where the case was made of some grass and thistle. The ingredients are all unique, have you eaten a green blueberry before? It was all very experimental for us and we enjoyed our experience. We really appreciate the philosophy of this restaurant as they want minimize food waste which is a big concern even for me. Going to this restaurant was like going to a show, it’s a whole dining experience. The staff explains the idea of the restaurant and the chef, it’s a small place so go early to get your table! This is an expensive affair!
