Situated in the heart of Yaletown, this stunning steakhouse is an inviting space where contemporary style blends with serious chops—quite literally. The butcher shop next door isn't just for show; it's a defining principle of this kitchen that sources only the best. Bite into the thoroughly enjoyable Dungeness crab spring roll before considering something from their tartare menu, which runs the gamut from traditional and vegetable-focused to gamey smoked bison from Turtle Valley. Steaks are sourced locally in British Columbia and from the U.S., and there is a selection of Japanese wagyu for deep-pocketed diners. The Vancouver cut, bone-in tenderloin is just perfect, though beef Wellington or Nonna's coniglio brasato are also good choices.
