๐ Vancouverโs Rising Star โ Published on Main Review!
๐ Published on Main 3593 Main St, Vancouver This Canadaโs #1 restaurant (pre-Michelin hype) blew me away with its Nordic-meets-West Coast tasting menu โ 10 courses of pure artistry. ๐ Why Itโs Special โ Noma-trained chef โ fermentation, foraging, texture wizardry โ Asian-friendly flavors โ umami bombs, clean finishes, not butter-heavy โ Tasting menu only โ $125 for 10 courses (worth every penny) ๐ฅข Tasting Menu Highlights ๐ฝ๏ธ Opening Bites Platter โ โ โ โ โ Wagyu crisps, foie-strawberry bonbons, lamb shiso rolls โ tiny but mighty. ๐ Tuna Cruda โ โ โ โ โ Sashimi-grade fish, white miso cream, edible flowers โ too pretty to eat. ๐ Glazed Squash โ โ โ โ โ Candied seeds, sticky-sweet flesh, brown butter foam โ vegetable sorcery. ๐ฃ Cedar-Smoked Salmon โ โ โ โ โ Medium-rare fish? Yes โ silky, smoky, dill oil magic. ๐ฎ Frozen Apricot Dessert โ โ โ โ โ Icy fruit slices, vanilla ice cream, thyme dust โ genius contrast. ๐น Clear Piรฑa Colada ($16) โ โ โ โ โ Coconut water, rum essence, pineapple clarity โ reinvented classic. ๐ก Pro Tips โ Best for: Special occasions, food nerds, minimalist aesthetes โ Book early: Reserve 2+ months ahead (yes, really) โ Skip if: You hate tasting menus or love giant portions ๐ฐ Damage: ~$150-200 per person #VancouverEats #MichelinWatch #TastingMenu
