The Acorn, a MICHELIN Recommended and award-winning restaurant, brings a fresh, modern approach to vegetable-forward dining in the heart of Vancouver’s Main Street. Known for its creative, locavore-driven menu, The Acorn delivers an unforgettable dining experience using locally sourced, peak-season ingredients. With options for vegans, vegetarians, and gluten-free diners, even the most dedicated carnivores leave satisfied.

Our commitment to sustainability runs deep. In our zero-waste kitchen and bar, every part of the ingredient shines—from the skins and stems to pits and peels—transformed into inventive dishes and drinks. We’re proud of our close relationships with local organic farmers, foragers, winemakers, and distillers, ensuring that 99% of what you enjoy on the plate (and sometimes the plate itself!) is grown, harvested, or crafted right here in BC and Western Canada. Signature cocktails shine while local wines showcase the harmony of Terroir to plate.

    Our brunch experience at Acorn this afternoon was truly exceptional, especially for a fully vegetarian restaurant. The food was next-level delicious, and the freshness of the ingredients was evident in every bite. We highly recommend Acorn to all vegetarian food lovers!

    Outstanding service and excellently paced tasting menu. Every dish brought delightful flavor and surprise with seemingly familiar ingredients. From tne palate cleanser broth to dessert, and so many plates in between. Very nice pairing too. We had a wonderful time. Emily Alex Louis and esp Max all made it a v memorable evening. Hats off to Chef Kate.

    We love the experience of chef taster menu. All family has to go along my vegan diet. They loved it. The service is beautiful with food description. It is like a little dance in the kitchen. The food is sooo tasty and inspiring. We kicked off the holidays by having this delicious dinner together a few days before Christmas. We did last year and we were delighted to be able to do it again this year. Thank you once again to the wonderful Acorn team.

    Very creative use of ingredients. It would be perfect if only the chefs can use less salt in their creations!

    This was a delightful experience for an anniversary dinner. The food was amazing, the service was excellent, the lighting was perfect, and the noise level was not too loud to hear each other despite being a busy night. We loved it and will be coming back!

    12/10 stars if we could! Absolutely loved the entire tasting menu experience. Each dish + pallet opener/cleanser was delectable. That they’re a ‘no waste’ restaurant evidently boosts their creativity and is so inspiring. Absolute gem - with full confidence to endorse the vegetarian menu to exceed expectations and satisfy anyone! Cannot wait to return. From start to finish, loved it!
