We had an outstanding meal at one of our favourite restaurants in Vancouver, celebrating a special evening with the La Familia chef’s tasting menu. Dish after dish was absolutely incredible — each one more impressive than the last. The attention to detail, the creativity, and the warmth of the staff all came together to create a truly memorable dining experience. Hands down, this place continues to set the bar for exceptional cuisine and hospitality.
