Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Granville Island

Had a lovely brunch today at the Tap & Barrel Bridges on Granville Island. They do a Happy Hour brunch before noon with all brunch $4 off so you have nothing to lose. The food was great, our server, Avielle was lovely and it's a perfect spot to sit. I have been here many times but didn't know about the deal on brunch. I'll be back - great food, great location and value.

First time coming here. Wonderful service. Ambience is perfect. My husband and I totally loved their brussel sprouts(the char is perfect and the sauce is sublime) and beef tartare (love the cracker underneath the tartare and the flavouring with the egg yolk is amazing). 10/10 King salmon for one of the entrees is also perfect. The fish texture is wonderful, just cooked right. The sauce is the showstopper basically elevating the dish. 10/10 Mushroom risotto- we loved the taste but the consistency is not what we expected from a risotto. Otherwise, flavour is on point. 8/10 Roasted pork belly- my husband rates it at 7/10. He loved the pork belly itself but didn’t feel the puree properly complemented the meat. I would also rate it at 7/10 but mostly because i thought it would be crispier or at least have crispy edges but i do love the puree and the chicharonnes with it. Lastly my husband and I got the salted caramel pot de creme. Loved it. 10/10. Not too sweet. Loved the texture with the vanilla breton on top. My husband also got the Americano to finish, wonderful and superb as he said it. 10/10. Definitely will come back here and try their other dishes. ❤️

My experience at the keg was truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! My partner and I recently got engaged, and we decided to celebrate with a special dinner on Valentine’s Day and I’m so glad we chose this place. From the moment we walked in, the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. The food and everything from the appetizers to the main course was incredible. And the service was quick. This was such a wonderful experience and I will definitely be returning to the keg on granville island for future special occasions.

Amazing Valentines day set menu. 10/10. The smoked salmon sobbresada, roasted cabbage and beef tartare.. wow. Service excellent too.

Amazing food. The other reviews were right to say it is unpretentious but without compromising in class and quality. I'm glad I live far from this restaurant otherwise it would do some real damage to my wallet on a weekly basis!
