Great little bistro under the Granville St/ Bridge. We've been coming here since it opened and although the menu is limited, the quality is always great. Staff are wlecoming and attentive. When the weather heats up there is a small paito outside on the pedestrian walkway.

About the restaurant

In a dining room rich in history, dinner at Hy’s is a truly authentic experience. The charcoal-grilled Prime steaks, tableside preparation of classic Caesar salad, and impeccable, professional service have made Hy’s Canada’s Premier Steakhouse for over 65 years. Enjoy the intimacy of the cozy, wood-paneled main floor space or the upstairs modern library inspired décor and disappear into a world where the guest is always first, and fine dining is at its very best.

Expert Suggestion: The famous cheese toast is addictive. Try it with an Old Fashioned for a decadent treat.

This restaurant is located on Hornsby St, in the Hotel Le Soleil. It’s a very beautiful space with high ceilings, wood flooring, and a very interesting light fixture over the center of the space. I got there just after it opened so it was empty. Chloe was my server. I started with a double Monkey 47 gin and tonic ($28.50CAD), and ordered Bone Marrow ($24), and Duck Cassoulet with foie gras ($59). Along the way, I had another Monkey 47 G&T and finished with an Americano ($6). The bone marrow came with four pieces of toasted baguette, and some Shimeji mushrooms and pickled onion. It was so unctuous and delicious! The cassoulet was rich, with confit duck, sausage, lardon, and some vegetables. The foie gras add-on ($20) took the dish over the top. This was a fabulous first meal ($156.13CAD + tip) in Vancouver … I loved everything!

Great experience. Great waitress although I don’t recall her name (she shared she was born in Russia) she was interactive and very nice to my wife and I. Drinks were great too- hats off the head bartender that evening.

The Birthday event for us was very fun. Elegant and enjoyable. It was certainly not cheap or even moderately expensive. Highly end but then the aroof is iconic. It was a great experience for those who experienced the roof before with Dal Richards. It was a fantastic reminiscences of an unfortunately bygone era. We may be back.

Wonderful food. We had the duck and it was truly amazing, both the taste and how it was served with a flambe at the table, then a course of the skin (which was wonderful) and then the duck meat. All served with paper-thin pancakes and multiple condiments. The four of us ate every bit. Our next favorite dish was the fish in a hot pot. It is served with dry ice in a saucer underneath that is covered with water at the table so it fogs up around the dish--very impressive. And it cools the dish just a touch so it is not too hot to eat. Both the texture and taste were divine. Also the vegetables were similarly great--crispy green beans and eggplant. And we appreciated the free parking. The service was a bit abrupt but not actually rude, just not gracious. We put up with it. We will be back next time we are in Vancouver, we are already looking forward to it..
