VV Tapas Lounge

Hidden gem. The menu sounded simple enough, but we were pleasantly surprised at how flavorful and nicely presented the dishes were! The service was attentive, the owner / our server was super friendly and personable. There was a good selection of wines. The room has lots of natural light which gave way to a good energy to the restaurant. There was also free parking right outside!!

THE best risotto I have ever had and I've been to Italy twice. Absolutely to die for. The food is creative and the flavour combinations are unreal. So much umami. You can tell that their attention to their food is spot on. Great selection of wines and craft beers. Anytime I am in van I always have to stop at VV.

This place definitely deserves a 5-star rating! We’d love to visit again and I highly recommend this restaurant especially for private functions. Communication: I was communicating mainly with Dee since Day 1 of the planning up to the completion of the event. She is very efficient and prompt with responses to emails. Both Dee and Chase were very responsive; all calls and emails were answered in a timely manner. Service: The service we received was exemplary and truly unmatched. The whole staff were friendly and polite, and our requests were accommodated with no qualms. The restaurant manager, Chase was hands on and ensured that everything was well taken care of. Ambiance: The restaurant presents as having a stunning mix of eclectic, modern and industrial vibe. Add the exposed elements and reclaimed wood that’s softened by this beautiful ivy garland as accent backdrop. The restaurant’s high ceiling, large floor-to-ceiling sliding doors helped maximize the space and did not make the restaurant feel overcrowded despite the number of guests. Food: They were generous enough to serve us a total of 7 types of canapés per person and 3 charcuterie wine barrels. Each canapés had its own distinct flavour they have vegan and gluten-free options, definitely lots of options for the guests to choose from. Kids were served with burger sliders and potato chips. It was an open bar and they offered cocktails, wine and beer from the drink menu. The best part is they adjusted the menu according to our budget. Parking: The restaurant is situated in the heart of Strathcona and there are lots of street parking. They also have free underground parking which is a plus!

Cannot say enough good things about this small tapas lounge tucked away in East Vancouver. Innovative tapas-sized bits, perfect for sharing. Amazing curated wine list. Go see Vicky and she'll treat you well! Will definitely recommend and be back. Vegetarian options: Several to choose from.

A hidden gem leading into dt Vancouver. Don't let the neighborhood distract you from this cool tapas bar. A little bit off the beaten track when it comes to locations in Vancouver but not so inconvenient that you should not try it. Everything we ate had a unique and bold flavour. Must haves include the popcorn Chicago mix made in house, mushroom risotto, and cauliflower dip. Every bite as good as the last. Other items we tried and liked were the sausage brochettes, chefs charcuterie board, and tiramisu don't skip dessert.

We came for the DOV tasting menu and we loved EVERYTHING. The atmosphere was romantic, the servers were kind, professional & helpful, and the food was mouthwatering. Pictured are our favourites: charcuterie board and warm cauliflower dip. We were very surprised by how much we loved the amuse ginger soup! We will definitely come back.Recommended dishesWarm Cauliflower Dip, Charcuterie Plate, Amuse Soup

Decided to stop in here for a Friday night dinner and was SO Glad we did. The space is really warm and inviting and so was the staff. We tried the Dine-out menu which for the price was SO much food and it was all sharable plates which I love. There was detail put into it like surprise little soups and all the dishes were fantastic. I think other reviewers mention the mushroom risotto for good reasons. Our server Rowan was great. One of the better dining experiences we've had recently. Will be back!

WOW! I’m mind blown. Honestly, best tapas place in the city! The ambiance is gorgeous, food is delicious and service is outstanding. Will definitely be coming back for more!Recommended dishesCharcuterie Plate, Burrata

Superb food, beautifully presented, and excellent service. The menu pleased adults and a teen alike, which in itself is a feat! Delicious charcuterie, mushroom risotto, salad with complex flavours, cauliflower dip, yet also sliders : A cute spot with a lovely mix of sleek modern and industrial, a touch of colour and whimsy. We went for dine out for the first time and will be back for sure, with friends!

Imagine Dragons on replay, wobbly plates and men wearing He Man shirts that we couldn’t quite read, but really wanted to and tried… but all that just added to an amazing experience and great food. The cherries on the charcuterie board were incredible. Will be back!
