    A Must-Visit in Vancouver for Exceptional Vegan Dining! We had the most incredible experience at Acorn Restaurant in Vancouver! We came in for brunch and were absolutely blown away by every dish we tried—each one was even better than the last. The creativity and flavors in their plant-based menu are unmatched, and you can really taste the quality of their locally sourced ingredients. Beyond the food, the ambiance is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The staff were exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, taking the time to walk us through the menu and share insights about their sustainable, zero-waste philosophy. We’re already planning our next visit to try their dinner menu! If you’re in Vancouver and looking for an unforgettable dining experience—whether you’re vegan or not—Acorn is an absolute must.

    Great food quality and service. Definitely more of a casual place. The only issue I have is the wine seemed to be priced extremely high for the excellent value of the food. I had a cocktail instead which was excellent and priced appropriately.
