Pure finesse from start to finish! From the tasty, delicate melon gazpacho, succulent duck confit, a crème brûlée of silken texture, and an excellent wine pairing, the meal was outstanding! We were made to feel like honoured guests, and the chef and sous chef's kitchen choreography was a wonder to behold! Thank you!
We treated ourselves to Absinthe for New Years Eve 2016. Some friends had recommended it to us. I was so impressed by the quality of food - a mouth watering delight starting with beef carpaccio, followed by duck leg confit and finishing off with creme brûlée. The service was attentive and friendly and the timing of food delivery was perfect. Absinthe Bistro is definitely on our list for repeats and this is a very short list for us!
I organized a dinner celebration with my family and friends at Absinthe and it’s a very enjoyable experience. The food is delicious and consistent. Great wine and ambience. Definitely will come back again. Thank you chef and team for the great service and dining experience.
Decided to bring my mother, a fine dinning Industry veteran, here. It was such a lovely meal! Every course was so good and thoughtful. I may have taken my herb butter home with me, I couldn’t bare to waste any. Chef Corey has such a great energy with his guests, it really made the night. I would recommend this to anyone. Will absolutely come back
Definitely one of my all timr favorite restaurant. One of my best friend took me here and I usually visit them every 2-3 months once.
Cory and team is awesome! They made you feel at home, treats you like a family and most importantly, the food are all really delicious. Haven’t had anything bad here. They changed their menu every 2-3 months once.
Very reasonable price too for a 3 course meal, definitely nothing like absinthe!!! Go check them out and support local if you’ve never been and you will not be disappointed!
We had a wonderful dinner experience at Absinthe Bistro. Terrific and friendly service, excellent food and good wine selection. We tried the set menu option and it didn't disappoint. The highlights for me were the carpaccio, sea bass, and lava cake. Will definitely be going back!
Very very good food, including side dishes like bread (from Quebec) and butter! We ordered scallop crudo as starter, steak and halibut as main courses for each person and chocolate lava cake as dessert, absolutely amazing! Scallop was super fresh, nicely seasoned. Steak has this charcoal flavor to it, nice dressing and tasty salad. Halibut was moist and flaky, nice match with purée! Wine and beer were also good. Nice interior design too, interesting chair and lamp at the entrance. We are so happy we tried this place in our short visit to Vancouver!
Delightful plating, delicious food, wonderful service, reasonable price. The apricot and chive butter was so amazing that we asked for more bread and ended up eating way too much for the night. Scallops & prawns were fresh and the sea bass was very juicy. We especially loved the thoughts they put into the colours of the food & plates - a feast to the eyes in itself. Would definitely come back!
Great restaurant with a seasonal menu. You get to pick from three from appetizers, entrees, or desserts. The best were the scallops and pavlova dessert. The cocktails were also very well done. I recommend coming here and it’s bit fancier than I anticipated as well.
Amazing food (set menu) and cocktails. Loved the fact that they educate their customers on how to drink absinthe and adds to their unique vibe. The food is very delish!
Must go, cannot wait to get back!
