About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for brunch
Secret Location answers the question about whether to go shopping or go out to eat by providing both for those in Vancouver. The tasting room provides European inspired cuisine with multi-course meals, pastries, artisanal coffee and an extensive wine list so that shoppers won�t need to shop at Secret Location hungry. The tasting room at Secret Location offers lunch, brunch and dinner. The cuisine is unique with such choices as a BLFT sandwich, which has bacon, lettuce and tomato, of course, but two more special ingredients � foie gras and a fried egg. During dinner hours, give the smoked sturgeon and caviar, Margret duck ham, butter poached lobster or the octopus & artichoke a try.

    Great, knowledgeable staff. It's absolutely beautiful and prices are not over the top expensive.

    The food was 90% awful and left me with a stomach ache and much regret. If you're going to spend some $$$ and want a great experience with the Vancouver foodie scene, avoid this place.

    Dish with interesting sauces, but no bread to wipe up the sauce with! Then, $4 for bread!! $20 burger= too much.

    Still Hungry! Food was delicious but portion was very very tiny which it didn't fill me and my friend. Even having good food in this restaurant but making sure entree is big enough for customer to feel full before get out the door is also very very important! In this restaurant, you might get full only if you order at least TWO entree on top of appetizer, dessert, otherwise, you really need to go McDonald afterward!

    Went there for brunch on Sat. The place was quiet and relaxing. Loved the interior, the service and the food. Liked everything but except for the music. The pop music At the background might work at night but it's really really weird during the day considering it's a high-end designed, hotel-like restaurant. It could have ruined the whole experience. Other than that everything is great.

    Secret Location is a place where is suitable for business meeting, dating, and afternoon tea with friends. I ordered scrambled egg white, and it came in a relatively small portion. The taste was very complex and dynamic. I would recommend you to give it a try if you are a calorie counter and also a foodie.

    Very expensive. The environment looks good and the location is perfect. However the food is really poor. We ordered chicken and lobster and we couldn't really finish it because it didn't have a good taste. We pass on the desert too. Valley was so expensive $12

    Very personable experience, the atmosphere upon walking in was very inviting and warm. Exceptional food by Chef Montgomery and his team, followed by a meticulous service from the front of house. Great overall experience, our first time here and many more to come.

    Two people for lunch. Plates very artfully arranged. Meal taste and variety was lovely. Bit pricey for lunch $100 no alcohol. Shared three appies and one main. There was not one other guest in the restaurant and we arrived 12:15-ish and stayed through 130pm.
