About this restaurant

  • Vegan-friendly
  • Vegetarian-friendly
  • Good for special occasions
The Acorn, a MICHELIN Recommended and award-winning restaurant, brings a fresh, modern approach to vegetable-forward dining in the heart of Vancouver’s Main Street. Known for its creative, locavore-driven menu, The Acorn delivers an unforgettable dining experience using locally sourced, peak-season ingredients. With options for vegans, vegetarians, and gluten-free diners, even the most dedicated carnivores leave satisfied.

Our commitment to sustainability runs deep. In our zero-waste kitchen and bar, every part of the ingredient shines—from the skins and stems to pits and peels—transformed into inventive dishes and drinks. We’re proud of our close relationships with local organic farmers, foragers, winemakers, and distillers, ensuring that 99% of what you enjoy on the plate (and sometimes the plate itself!) is grown, harvested, or crafted right here in BC and Western Canada. Signature cocktails shine while local wines showcase the harmony of Terroir to plate.

    The variety of this brunch menu was excellent. There were so many different flavours on display. The endive in the salad was balanced well by the apple, and everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Portions were just right for the variety of dishes and everything was paced well. The servers who took care of us were excellent, and my compliments to the entire house and kitchen for doing such an amazing job taking care of everyone. I'm looking forward to the next fixed specialty menu.

    Considering the marketing and the reviews and the Michelin rating and the price, I was very disappointed in the food - you'd think they would not rely so heavily on radishes and beets and daikon to create a vegetarian meal. The first offering of a small bowl of broth was delicious, but our anticipation of further delights was soon dampened with the arrival of thin slices of the above veggies in various compositions, all quite - meh. The final dish of pasta had lots of flavour, and having arrived hungry, we left not hungry, but those were the only other positive aspects of our food.

    Outstanding, exquisite tasting menu experience! Every dish was artistically arranged and picture perfect! The flavors were excitingly different and complex. Clearly a lot of time and effort were put into each dish. Loved the pace of eating so many courses, and being delighted at every bite! Highly recommend the tasting menu experience!
