Best New Restaurant in Vancouver: Gary's

This restaurant won the bronze award for Best New Restaurant in Vancouver Magazine this year. I went with friends to try it out, and the atmosphere felt like stepping into a cozy European tavern. The space is small but always packed with people. 🍷✨ Here’s a brief overview of the dishes: Phyllis’ Pickles Rye Roll 🍞: I really liked this appetizer. The pickles, especially the garlic, were fantastic. The small rolls with the accompanying sauce reminded me of scallion bread. Halibut 🐟: Tastes very healthy with a light sear and a subtle aroma. It’s best enjoyed with the creamy organic vegetables underneath for added flavor. 🥦 Risotto: Simply put, it’s a cheesy, creamy vegetable baked rice. Imagine that rich, comforting taste! 🧀🍚 Kanpachi Crudo 🍣: A unique dish with strawberries and vinaigrette as the sauce for the raw fish. The sweet and tangy flavors with a hint of soy sauce were quite special. 🍓 Chicken Liver 🐔: My friend and I were looking forward to this dish with high expectations. The liver pâté was flavorful but a bit sweet, almost like a dessert. 🍰 Pork Collar 🐷: The texture was similar to char siu, but the meat itself was quite bland. It needed the parsley sauce underneath to bring out some flavor. 🌿 Chocolate Mousse 🍫: A smooth combination of cream and chocolate mousse with a perfectly balanced sweetness. 🍨 Overall, this restaurant is great for enjoying drinks and conversation with friends or a date, rather than for a purely culinary experience. 🥂🍽️ #Vancouver #VancouverEats #VancouverDT #VancouverLife #RestaurantRecommendation #VancouverRestaurants #VancouverFoodRecommendation #VancouverWestEnd ### Name: Gary's 🍽️ Address: 1485 W 12th Ave, Vancouver, BC V6H 1M7 Type: Restaurant ###
