The annual Dine Out event was back again for 2018. We visited West Restaurant and Bar on Granville St on a Sunday evening. This restaurant usually gets booked up and filled fast for Dine out so we were lucky this year to find a table available on a busy weekend. Inside the restaurant was busy but not crowded. It had a very modern looking decor and was not too big which helps to ensure attentive service from staff.
West Restaurant is a stunning fine dining restaurant situated along South Granville.
The food was excellent. The atmosphere was perfect - it was ergonomically designed for the perfect dining experience.
The service was friendly, attentive, and efficient.
We thoroughly enjoyed the experience, we would definitely recommend this restaurant.
Very memorable dining experience. Service was top notch, and the ambience was great. Very nice drink menu and the food was delightful. I would highly suggest the west fries with house made ketchup. Awesome!!!!
This place was pretty good, but also pretty standard. The service wasn't the greatest, as our server did their job but wasn't very attentive. It wasn't just because the place was busy- we saw them fawning over the tables nearby that ordered wine, so I guess that's why. But what can I do? My body just can't handle the alcohol...am I forever doomed to be a second class patron at fine dining restaurants? But I digress. The ravioli was fab (I'm a sucker for anything with butternut squash) but nothing else was particularly memorable, especially considering the price range. Would not go out of my way to come back with all the other options available.
Sometimes, restaurants going the fine dining route come across strained and uneasy - as if they’re trying too hard to be… fine. West is thankfully not like that. The food is excellent and high quality with beautiful plating. The restaurant itself is elegant and understated and the service is attentive. My partner really enjoyed the cocktails here too and we can’t wait to go back for a round of cocktails and a meal.
With sister restaurants like Robson Street’s “CinCin” and Whistler’s “Araxi” I went in to this one excited. Finer dining on South Granville, but first you have to find it. On a block with various boutiques and high end window displays, it is easy to walk by, and miss their simple frosted glass. They were a door-in-the-wall that could be mistaken for the door to an apartment complex or lobby. Although it is easier to located them in the dark, when their sign and awning glows white their name in light.

January 3, 2016 · by ThatShanghaiGirl · Sundays are for brunch and thats exactly what I did at the West. Service was lovely, and the holiday decor throughout the restaurant was stunning as expected. Luckily the food matched up to all that sparkle!
West is part of the Top Table Group, along with Araxi, Blue Water, Cin Cin..of course all my favourite restaurants in Vancouver. I don't remember when these photos were taken, I think we randomly went for lunch one day.. and started off the lunch with shots of Hennessy, clearlyyy that's why I don't remember anything.

I was recently taken here for my birthday dinner a few weeks ago. We were early but the dining room wasn't busy so we were seated right away. They also were kind enough to give me a card for the occassion.
Starters - Oysters - Fresh and nicely shucked. The Grape mignonette was also a different twist.
- Lobster Gnocchi. To be honest I haven't had a gnocchi made this well in quite some time. Light and fluffy, with a very well balanced lobster sauce and a meaningful amount of lobster on the plate. I had my doubts about this dish at 21$ but it was solid.
- Smoked Duck Breast - Wonderful dish. Smokey flavour, cooked to your liking, and all the garnishes were well seasoned. In fact the kale was outstanding. However, not enough fat was rendered from the duck breast, AND for $40 I had to ask for a starch [potato confit] (sorry a lentil vinaigrette doesn't count for me). I got roasted potatoes instead. It's a shame when a dish could be perfect but a few details let it down
- White Sturgeon - The wife had this one. Fish was perfectly cooked, the celeriac puree was rich and smooth, the brussel sprout leaves were amongst the best I've had. Had a strange celeriac sauce that tasted like tartar sauce (whimsey? not sure, was a bit out of place)
- Desert - Chocolate sponge cake. Given they advertise they have a dedicated pastry chef I expected way more. This was very one-note and a bit of a bet down. The server also felt the need to mention that it takes them 2 days to make the hazelnut ice cream, but it was bland and disappointing.
Overall there's a standard with TopTable restaurants that is met. The Service is polite but quite slow. It was a 2 hr sitting for 2 people with 3 courses in a half-full restaurant, so plan accordingly. The cocktails are fantastic as is the wine and spirit list. Would definitely recommend and would return
If you find yourself down West Granville Street shopping, you might want to make time to stop at West for lunch. Now until the end of December, West is featuring a three-course prix fixe tasting menu between 11:30am to 2:30pm for only $45. Chef Quan Dang has created a menu featuring local west coast flavours and seasonable ingredients.
Excellent experience overall. Service was 10/10, food was incredible and Sabrine's signature martini was to die for. Thanks, West, for setting the bar for me for dining in Vancouver!

I was lucky to get an invite to the dinner at West Restaurant and Bar.
impeccable service, beautiful settings and inspired food. Not much more you can ask from a restaurant. I had a six course dinner at West and each course was perfectly presented and paired with local wines. By far one of the best dining experiences in the city. I highly recommend.
Recently visited for dinner with friends visiting from overseas and really enjoyed.Both the gnocchi and BC wild salmon were perfectly prepared. Very flavorful and fresh, good service, highly recommended.
Had a 3 course lunch awhile back and it was amazing. The portions looked small but were so filling! There was careful detail into how it was presented and the flavours were plentiful. For $35, you get an appetizer, main and dessert. Our server was knowledgable and attentive.
A quiet restaurant further away enough to avoid the lunch rush!
Went to West for another friend's birthday. I had no idea it was part of the Blue Water Cafe / Araxi / Cin Cin family. Had I known I probably wouldn't have visited- but I'm glad I did. The decor was really nice - modern and clean. We sat by the kitchen window and witnessed the kitchen staff create pieces of art dish after dish. They were beautiful. Overall a great experience. Our server was engaging and attentive. He knew his dishes and wine well. We had a great time. I'd recommend for a special occasion where you're willing to spend some money for some great food. I may return for an anniversary or another big birthday.
There is a reason why this place is consistently ranked as being among the best in the city. Service is impeccable, the food is great, and the atmosphere feels high end without being overly pretentious. Check the blog post review link in the comment section.
This restaurant is excellent. We ordered the gnocchi appetizer, and the strip loin and ravioli entrees. Every dish was exceptional with each item on the plate having a unique flavor and enhancing overall flavor of each dish. None of the flavors were overpowering and everything was cooked perfectly. The only thing that we weren't too excited about were the drinks but I will most definitely return for the food. Ambiance was good. It was a little pricy but completely worth it. It was my boyfriend's birthday so they saved us a table by the window as requested, wrote a short birthday card which he found when we got to the table and sent over a small desert at the end of the meal with "happy birthday" written on the plate. They definitely went above and beyond to make him feel special. I highly recommend West.
Great cocktails...the beldi..
Lobster Gnocchi. Do yourself a favour, have one.
Absolutely wonderful, I need another one.
Short Ribs were excellent, my wife enjoyed her sea bass.
Staff excellent, very professional, smooth.
On the other hand, the Kale Caesar was a huge disappointment.
Great idea but no flavour for whatever reason, very lemony.
Some se salt? more anchovy, bacon, all of them, an off day?
Overall a good evening, we'll be back.
Great cocktails. We sat at the long bar in this very cool room and had a variety of tremendous cocktails prepared by a very caring bar staff.
They take it seriously here.
We only sampled a few snacks, some delicious fresh oysters with an elderflower vinaigrette, and beef tartar with sweet onion soy marinade. Both were wonderful and elegant in their simplicity. By the looks of it, around us, the other food was at least as good.
High end restaurant with high end prices for Vancouver.
Amazing tasting menus and the wine pairings were on the mark! The ambiance and service were impeccable!
Thank you:)
I don't go to West often, but it's always good. I was there for lunch in mid-December and think it was the best lunch I had all year. The food was beautifully prepared and very tasty. The service was attentive but not excessive-- just right! I would highly recommend West and can't wait to go again.
Excellent NYE meal!. Upon arrival, we were seated shortly. They have an extensive wine and cocktail menu. The cocktails were unique, luscious and refreshing. It fills all your senses with really delicious ingredients! The beef tartare was splendid, the lobster gnocchi was delicious, the seared scallop was perfect, I loved the fries with truffle aioli! The oysters came our plump and fresh. For entree, I had the duck, also cooked to perfection, it was extremely tender and just heavenly! Service was attentive and pleasant, our server made sure we were looked after the entire dinner. For dessert we enjoyed the a lovely raspberry panna cotta, the texture and flavors were again perfectly executed! This was an amazing NYE dinner, and I was glad we chose West!

Superb!. This was out second time at West. We were there about a year ago when we first moved to South Granville and had a lovely meal. We have been meaning to go back but with so many great restaurants in this city, it has taken us this long to make it back.
After this most recent visit though, I can guarantee that we will be back much must more quickly this go around. While our last meal was good, our meal tonight was incredible. I had the vegetarian tasting menu (not a part of the printed menu, but if you ask they will provide you with a copy) and my husband had the "land" tasting menu. My tasting menu was absolutely beautiful- it was full of flavor without overwhelming the freshness of the vegetables. My husband's land (meat) menu was equally delicious with a diverse selection of chicken liver pate, quail, veal cheek and elk, all accented with perfectly executed accompaniments.
The service was also spot-on. I was impressed by the knowledge of our server about both the food and the wine. He was also very friendly and attentive. His presence certainly contributed to the quality of our meal.
Ambience is also conducive to a perfect night out- sophisticated without being pretentious just like the beautiful city where it resides.
I have been fortunate enough to have many great meals, but I have to say that this was among the best. This chef is truly a master. Unlike many chefs, he does not feel the need to resort to fancy techniques and cooking methods. He has the confidence to make the ingredients shine and knows how to elevate them to the next level. Bravo Quang Dang and thank you for such a fine meal.
West = Best. Walking into West was an explosion for the senses. It was a bustling restaurant filled with happy, dare I say, beautiful people. The service is very good and the food is simply divine. Great menu selection with creatively prepared dishes. The food tasted as fresh as it appeared. Some restaurants have very cool presentations with their food, but then it is bland. However, the food was vibrantly spiced and exotically presented. Drinks, both cocktail and wine were excellent. A new favorite!

West is a Must. I will make it a point to go to West each time I visit Vancouver. We started with the oysters, which were fresh and came with a delicious mignonette. The sablefish entree was my favorite. The fish was delicate, sweet, flaky, and perfectly paired with the dashi broth which was poured over the fish at the table. A close second was the dungeness crab risotto, which had bits of basil and grapefruit in it. The risotto was perfectly creamy with a nice firm texture, and the basil and grapefruit combo really lightened the dish up. I loved it! The foraged mushrooms came in an adorable paper pouch. Because it was enclosed with garlic and thyme, the aroma when the pouch was broken was crazy good. However, it got cold really quickly and it lost it's initial appeal after eating half of it. While I am usually just a wine drinker, after tasting my date's "Bitter Chocolate Old Fashioned" I absolutely had to have one for myself. I don't even like bourbon, but this was amazing. Valrhona cocoa nib infused Bulleit Bourbon, caramel, Cynar.
Fabulous food, excellent service -- up to a point. But you know, when you're dropping a grand on dinner for four, there's still wine in your glasses and the restaurant is still open, I think you should get to stay at the table for just about as long as you want without getting the sensation from the wait staff that your continued presence is an inconvenience.
Awesome. Everything is just right, the food, the service, the ambiance ... Thoroughly enjoyable.
Amazing Lunch. Had a wonderful lunch. Wild Sockeye Salmon was incredible, wonderfully done and very enjoyable with a great presentation. Will definitely return!
I Loved it!. I've been to West twice, and the first time was during dine out Vancouver. I remember they had a good selection, especially for a vegetarian. My meals were tasty and very memorable. I went back again recently, and the staff was most accommodating to my strict dietary needs! They were very attentive and made a special tasting menu just for me! I was very impressed and definitely go back soon.
High End. This is high end dining at it's finest. I cannot speak highly enough of the quality experience that is West.
Blown away upon first visit. I dined at west to celebrate an anniversary and to participate the Dine Out Vancouver event. I did a little research beforehand so I knew what exactly I wanted to get. To me the food and service were fantastic. The trout was the best fish I've ever tasted, out of many fish dishes I've tried. The cannelloni was the star of the night. It was so good that I would come back just for this dish although I normally don't splurge at fancy restaurants. I am a very picky person and I had absolutely no complaints about anything at all! West put some inscription on our desserts and made it a really special evening. We really enjoyed the service and experience and West is definitely recommended if you value quality.
Expensive, but totally worth the price. This place is amazing. The service is good, the ambiance is great, and the food is fabulous, so no complaint, except I probably won't be able to go there often considering the price range. I had the duck ravioli as appy, and it was very well done. Then for main, I had LOIS LAKE STEELHEAD TROUT which was delicious. Although the portions are pretty small, it was still pretty filling, therefore we shared the dessert which was the apricot cheesecake, and it was magnificent. I truly enjoyed the food at the west, it's just very very pricey :D
It's like a Gordon Ramsay's restaurant ... Can't say anything bad ... Loved it all

I have reservations?. My wife and I recently had dinner at West on a Saturday night. We were greeted at the door by the hostess who cheerily informed us that although we were right on time for our 8pm reservation they had not yet been able to seat the 7:30 table and did not expect to seat us anytime soon. We could have a seat at the bar (oops...no seats available) and wait. No apology, no explanation, not even the slimmest appearance of remorse. As we stood at the corner of the bar awaiting someone to acknowledge our presence and offer to get us a drink I was privy to a conversation between a guest and the hostess regarding the amount of time it was taking to be seated. The guest indicated that she was very disappointed. The response of the hostess was primarily condescension. She went so far as to correct the guest regarding her perceived waiting time. "Actually its been 50 minutes, not an hour"...or something to that effect. She tended to the snarky. Again, no apology. The guest suggested that perhaps the restaurant could buy the first round of drinks (3 glasses of champagne). The hostess said she did not have the authority to do this and offered to call the manager over. He came and spoke with the guests and they were eventually taken to a table (they did not offer to buy the drinks while these guests were at the bar, they might well have done so later). This then left seats open at the bar and we took our place. The bartender was friendly and skilled. The "Corpse Reviver" cocktail was quite good. We then asked the hostess if we could have an appetizer at the bar and she informed us that she could not take our order and we should ask the bartender. She eventually directed him our way and we placed the order. We were offered a table by a high-traffic area near the kitchen and declined. We were seated 40 minutes after our reservation time at a nice seat by the window. The subsequent service was quite good and the Sea and Land tasting menus (with the wine pairings) were excellent. The manager made several trips into our corner of the restaurant but never spoke to us about our experience. We were brought our bill at the end of the meal and the waiter informed us that the restaurant had bought the 2 cocktails that we had at the bar (including a $28 glass of Bourbon). This was certainly appreciated but I wish that the hostess and manager had handled this better at the very beginning. Perhaps something like this: "Welcome to West, we are so sorry that we are running behind but we will make every effort to seat you as soon as possible and in the meantime please have a cocktail and appetizer on us...I will be happy to place your order with the very busy bartender" I think that the hostess and wait staff should be given the authority to make these kinds of decisions on the spot. If she had simply kept us informed of the wait time , apologized and not adopted a defensive attitude I would likely not be writing this review. Overall, the subsequent experience was quite good but I would not expect to be treated well at the front door.
West offered a $38 dine out menu which was what intrigued us to come here in the first place. Soon after we ordered, we were provided with some complementary bread which came with butter and olive oil. For the appetizer, both my boyfriend and I ordered the Albacore Tuna Tartare because it sounded delightfully delicious on the menu. I loved the freshness of the tuna that was drizzled in sesame soy. It left a really good aftertaste in my mouth, especially when I ate it together with the lightly salted, crispy wonton wrapper that it came with.

Dessert was the chocolate tart and the creme brulee. We both agreed that the chocolate tart was amazing. Anata didn't really like the creme brulee and said it wasn't what he was expecting. I got the sense that it was more a kind of pear and ginger mash-concoction rather than a brulee, but I found it tasty. I was just so stuffed that I couldn't finish any of the desserts and could only sample a few bites from each :(

West Restaurant is a contemporary seafood restaurant located in South Granville, Vancouver. It features seasonal seafood and Northwest cuisine conceived by Executive Chef Quang Dang and talented pastry chef Rhonda Viani . If you are familiar with Thierry, Blue Water Café, Cin Cin, Araxi than you should know West is also brought to you by the Top Table Group .
I’ve never really noticed West Restaurant nestled amongst the other stores before as the exterior is a bit understated. Our Sunday brunch started with complimentary bread (2 types: potato bread and chive bread), butter and evoo.
West located on the corner of Granville and 13th street on the South Granville shopping corridor serves outstanding contemporary regional cuisine with a modern twist featuring pristine local ingredients and ocean wise friendly seafood. The elegant dining room has an incredible high ceiling highlighted by a magnificent temperature controlled wall of wine collection. Furnished with deep cherrywood fixtures and a cocktail bar, the decor and atmosphere offers a modern yet classic elegance.
At West, the August Tasting Menu has so many highlights. However, I can't really call dishes highlights because that implies there were lowlights too! ...The attention to detail at West is what draws me back again and again.
A restaurant I've been dying to try, but have been too poor to do so.. West. So, this year, yours truly requested a first visit to West. Yes, food basically sums up special occasions for me. My boss and I opted for the March 2011 Tasting Menu ($88), while our third ordered a la carte Dungeness Crab Cake ($18), Sablefish ($36.5), and the Pomegranate Frozen Yogurt Sandwich ($13.5). We were stuffed by the time the meal was over. I didn't want to try the sea urchin, so avoided the Chef's Tasting Menu, and was mostly happy with my selection of the March Tasting Menu. Here's the full menu (FYI April Tasting Menu seems to be identical to the March Tasting Menu..): "AMUSE BOUCHE ALBACORE TUNA PONZU MARINATED LOIN, CONFIT BELLY LIGHTLY PICKLED DAIKON, SEA WEED, SAKE KASU EMULSION DUNGENESS CRAB CAKE SAWMILL BAY MUSSEL, SOYBEAN AND RADISH SALAD, OLIVE OIL HOLLANDAISE BBQ PEKING DUCK RISOTTO BIODYNAMIC 1YR AGED RICE, ABALONE MUSHROOM, SOY SKIN HECATE STRAIT SABLEFISH SAWMILL BAY CLAMS, MAPLE SYRU
Last weekend, a few of us gathered together for an early Christmas dinner at the ever busy West restaurant on south Granville. Miss C actually copped a great gift certificate deal from Top Table ; purchase $250 gift certificate and receive another $50 extra. The certificate can be used at any of the 5 restaurants within the Top Table group. It was my first visit there and I hoped to get the most out of this experience. Decorated with silver ornaments and icicles, the interior of West was transformed into a sophisticated winter wonderland. Aside from having an extensive wine selection, but they also offer a long list of cocktails and spirits. After sampling a few, their specialty cocktails are now my favourite part of this restaurant. When I saw kaffir fling on the drinks menu, it was something unique and I had to try it. It was the right move as it turned out to be the one of the best cocktails I ever had. If you love Thai food and the alluring aroma of kaffir lime leaf in Thai dishes

Next up was one of the reasons that West has won my heart, they served a pre-dessert. Best idea ever.
I am very excited to try West. I had to reschedule this multiple times and was worried from hearing about how everybody was disappointed with their meals at West during Dine Out Vancouver 2010. Oh, parking was pretty expensive. $2/hour at the meters. West
I had heard that the tasting menus at West was worth a try, and although I've been for brunch, I've never actually tried their tasting menu. So last month, we decided to head over and give it a try. They have three, Sea, Land and a Vegetarian one. Not thrilled with all the options of the Sea one, so we both opted for the Land. Not your average baguette slices here, instead it's a combination of Olive, Caraway and Pumpkin seed rolls with some butter and oilve oil for dipping. I love that the crusts are little bit crunchy, and also liked that fact that this was served warm. Oh, check out the plate that the bread is on...very cool. The first dish to come out wasn't part of the "Land" tasting menu, rather just an amuse bouche. It was a Tuna confit, done in a croquette style with a dollop of lemon emulsion on top. Really crunchy and hard to believe how much flavour they packed into this thing...it was just about the size of a ping pong ball. Our first dish from the tasting menu was the Foie

West Restaurant does not advertise their Dine Out Vancouver menu anywhere. You're going to have to take a gamble finding out that day which among their regular selection has been included. If you've come to love the taste and quality of West but knowing y

For my main dish, I opted for the Snake River Farm Kurobuta pork. I am not kidding when I say that this was easily the best pork chop I’ve ever had. It was remarkably smooth and tender without the typical “graininess” that you would get with a pork loin. It was served with red cabbage, parsnip, gherkins and caper jus.
Brief Description: One of the gems of the Vancouver restaurant crown. West is where local West Coast ingredients meet fine dining. Prices are high but for the service and the quality, it is not unjustified. I love meeting other foodies. It is so refreshin
From the first bite I was astonished at the complexities of this dish. The thin layer of pickled daikon wrapped around the soft tuna gave the roll an added texture of crispiness that was very refreshing.
This is not the first restaurant we went for DOV, but this is by far my favorite. It's located on the corner of 13th and Granville. The interior was smaller than I expected. However they had a open kitchen with glass, so you can see your food being cooked
I’ve been wanting to go to West for who knows how long so I was thrilled at the chance to finally go and to taste a special menu to boot! Similar to Blue Water Cafe, the hostess and our server were expecting us and we were quickly seated at a nice table b
Tried their seasonal three course set menu for $39 and it was great. Chef's complimentary beet mousse was bit salty. Oysters were very fresh but with pre-added sauce, it wasn't as refreshing as typical oyster sauce. Two main courses I tasted were awesome. I loved my pork as it was perfectly cooked. The meat was very soft and Juicy. I tried chocolate soufflé for my dessert. This was the best dessert I tried so far. The staffs were friendly and the restaurant was kind enough to let our big group to come in 30 minutes before their regular hours so we are on our company event schedule.
We came here after hearing they would be closing down soon, which is unfortunately because the food and service here is top notch. It was my first time coming here so decided to go with the tasting menu. Everything we had was amazing - from the first course to the last. I enjoyed the appetizers the best; the mains were good - the duck was done well; dessert was ok but did not really stood out like the appetizers did. It was my first time here and it’s a shame I didn’t discover it sooner cause I would definitely like to try their other dishes.

Exquisite quality. Attention to detail. Beautiful plating. Luxurious service. Extraordinary flavours. Pure balance. All of these are fitting descriptions of West Restaurant on Granville and 14th Avenue.
Most think of classy restaurants as those situated in downtown with valet parking. But quality and class are not only reserved for the downtown core. West Restaurant is located just outside the downtown area but still within the heart of Vancouver and they deliver delicate dishes well worth the price tag.
Over the summer, they are offering their 3-course meal for $39, a fabulous price for the satisfaction that you will experience. From the first bite you will be craving for more. The freshest ingredients are selected and prepared so that the flavours hit your palate in a blast of finesse and balance. Finesse in how the chef manages to extract the wholeness of the unique flavours and balance in how savoury, sweet, tart, and spicy are woven together in perfect unity. The same can be said of their textures.
An evening out at West will leave you satisfied as you enjoy your classy dining experience here with flavours that you will not quickly forget.
I came here with my boyfriend for my birthday, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was very relaxing. Our waiter was amazing, he found out it was my birthday and when my desert came out they wrote happy birthday on the dish in chocolate. It was very sweet and I'll definitely be coming back again! Also the 3 course dinner was very reasonably priced
Overall, we loved brunch at West. We started with duck salad and beet with burrata. The salad was too heavy on vinaigrette and the duck trimmings were sweeter and drier that we would prefer. The beet dish overwhelmed us with complex flavour, but the creaminess if the burrata pared down the complexity. Although appetizers were not particularly up our alley, we absolutely loved the mains: perfectly cooked rolled omelet and melting halibut brandade. The service was impeccable and we would love to come back for dinner.
Good food. We had a three course meal special plus a risotto appetizer. I had a melon soup, salmon and strawberry shortcake. Hub had osyters, beef, and cheesecake. Food presentation was pretty and taste really good. Good amount of food. Good service. Good atmosphere. Parking was abit tricky but there was plenty of street parking.
Had a great experience at West. Went their for my 21st birthday and it's definitely a place to try. The menu is simple and sophisticated at the same time, and the food there was amazing.
We were fortunate enough to be able to be seated at one of their chefs table and it made the whole experience even better.
