About this restaurant

  • Vegan-friendly
  • Vegetarian-friendly
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    We came for the chefs tasting menu and it was absolutely amazing. All vegan, all locally sourced and absolutely delicious. We also added the wine tasting and I can only recommend doing this and enjoying the full experience. Fine dining in a very relaxed atmosphere. Thank you so much!

    We had an excellent brunch. The dishes were great and the wine offered was superb. The servers were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. We were thrilled to share the spot with our friends from out of town.

    Unfortunately this experience was inline other good experiences we've had here. Our drink order was incorrect (twice), the food pacing was off - we waited over 30 minutes between dishes, then 3 dishes showed up at once - something was off internally and it came through in the service. The food was good when it arrived, but it was disappointing overall because we've had really good experiences here in the past.

    Been here before for DineOut and really enjoyed our time, the food and service were excellent. However, we recently attended a wine release brunch and waited for over 45 minutes between our 3rd and 4th dish. In the end, we left before the 4th dish arrived. Unfortunately, will not be back.

    There need to be more restaurants like Acorn. Inventive vegetarian that is delicious. Lemon pasta and the smoked carrot dishes were particularly good. Maple pannacotta and raspberry sorbet desserts were a great finish. Interesting BC natural wines. Would love to return soon.
