Absinthe Bistro

Their menu is pretty limited, but everything on it was fantastic. I won't bother saying what I recommend, since I'm told the menu changes quite often and is based on whatever inspires the chef with the fresh ingredients that come in. We came here before going to a play at the Cultch and even though my diet was restricted because I was pregnant, I was fine with the menu. I ordered a cold beet soup which I was unsure of, since it was the only pregnancy-safe starter that week. It was incredible. The chefs obviously have a lot of passion for what they do. Also, as an aside, the decor in the washroom is adorable and lends a family feel to the ambiance. I can't wait to go back here.

Each menu is a perfectly balanced repertoire of flavors. The chef, who trained in France, brings fresh ideas to every meal with a hint of South American cuisine by way of his lovely Colombian wife. The prices are more than fair and the atmosphere is charming and intimate.

This restaurant alone is worth a visit to Vancouver. Every bite of their food was incredible. Cory and Juliana put a passion and dedication into their work that must be experienced to understand. I cannot recall when I've eaten a meal this good.

UNBELIEVABLE FOOD and ambiance was just exactly what my group of 3 was looking for at this quaint eatery. My friend described it by saying "Atmo- One hundo" Meaning the atmosphere got 100% rating. =) We had one night in Vancouver and the recommendation to eat at Absinthe was the perfect one! If I ever find myself here again, I will definitely come back. The owners of this place are doing it right, with fabulous wine and incredibly beautiful dishes. Every course was exceptional. I cannot praise this place enough.

A small, cozy, delightful place. Great food, good wine and a very friendly staff. Menu is quite small but everything is delivered with exquisite care. Definitely recommended!
