    I used to live in Vancouver and the Acorn never failed to be amazing. I’m drooling at your photos!

    Wowww!! This is soo beautiful. I love tasting menus and am going to Van soon—I assume you would recommend it based on your other comments. Do you or anyone here have any other tasting menu recommendations for the area?

    looks amazing but i am firmly in the camp of people who think food should be in large quantities on as few plates as possible to not waste dishes and water washing them
