The service was exceptional: the food presentation on the high tea pedestal, the quality of the tea cups & cutlery, the professional uniform of the servers, the cleanliness, and the music were all outstanding.

About the restaurant

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.

A lovely experience, attentive service. We got the tasting menu that was very heavily focused on greens, and personally we would have loved just one or two more of the mushroom/legumes/cheese/grain items from their menu, for balance. But everything was beautifully made and presented, so we can’t complain!

2 of the 3 of us weren't vegan or vegetarian. We were a bit nervous. However, the food and drinks were delicious. The service was great, too! It made no difference that there was no meat. I'll definitely go back and try something else on the menu.

Really good neighbourhood sports bar with a family side (larger tables, games for the kids, big screen TV, room for strollers) and a bar side (great array of local breweries, big screen TV array, lots of high top tables with patio outside). Excellent food and service - highly recommend!
