Owner-chef Michael Robbins has injected a subtle sense of quirkiness into this Kitsilano neighbourhood gem, that has been wowing its diners since 2015. The contemporary restaurant appears subtly edgy and endlessly stylish on the surface but beneath the gloss, you’ll find cheeky moments that challenge the fine-dining status quo, hinted at with stylized pop art pieces and collectibles lining the shelves. The food is the ultimate star, beautifully plated with passion. Concise, seasonal tasting menus devised by Robbins and team are offered for short windows of time to capture the season at its height of deliciousness. Expect dynamic small plates – often including seafood thanks to the restaurant’s proximity to the ocean – with eye-catching pops of colour that spark delight and awe. Plus, an elevated cocktail menu offers an alternative to wine pairings for the adventurous visitor.
