Just had one of the most fabulous meals here for DOV! They offer an amazing 5 course tasting menu. Each dish is very well composed, all the flavours work so well together & the presentation is beautiful. As each course is served, they explained in detail the components of the dish. The service is impeccable! They are friendly & knowledgeable. The ambiance is relaxed & the decor is eclectic. This by far has got to be not only one of the best DOV experiences I've ever had, but also one of the best meals I've had. Anna Lena knows what they're doing & they are doing it oh so well. We will definitely be back & I highly recommend you check them out! @inspiringfoodie

Used to come here a couple of times a year, but this is our first time back since they started offering set menus. Amazing bites as I remembered! Thoroughly enjoyed everything—dishes are creative, flavours are on point, with just the right amount of salt and acid, beautiful plating, and good flow for a tasting menu. We missed the torn bread a lot, so glad it was on the menu tonight! And the sticky toffee pudding was so delicious too, such an amazing way to end the meal! Will definitely be back regularly again!

Amazing!!! I used to come often when I worked in the area, pre pandemic, but haven't visited since. Celebrated my birthday here, and was still blown away by every menu item. Presentation, taste, creativity, execution, all on point, which is extremely difficult to do with set menus of all different tastes and texture. Again... amazing.

AMAZING! i've wanted to try this restaurant for quite a while and ended up finally dragging two very reluctant friends with me. all three of us left having had the best meals of our lives! the drink pairing fit perfectly with the dishes and highly recommend it! the atmosphere is relaxing and friendly and very comfortable. all the workers were so nice and made us feel very welcome. i am going to be recommending this restaurant to anyone who will listen!

We first dined here was about two months ago and had a fantastic dinner. To make sure it wasn't just a one-time lucky experience I wanted to try it again before leaving a review. Yesterday, we brought our son and girlfriend here to celebrate his birthday and we weren't disappointed. Every course was thoughtfully prepared with every element playing a crucial part of the overall dish. The food was absolutely top notch and the presentation was lovely. Our son had just eaten at his favourite restaurant the night before and came to the conclusion that AnnaLena was now his new favourite! The service was phenomenal. We had Rebekah as our host previously and this time we had Tara. They were both excellent at making us feel welcomed and really enhanced the dining experience with their descriptions of each dish and expansive knowledge of the wine pairings. You can really feel that the staff are passionate about the food and wine and really want you to get the most out of your time here. For me, AnnaLena is my favourite "tasting menu" restaurant in Vancouver. I love being surprised at what a restaurant decides to present to its diners, and Chef Robbins's use of ingredients, flavours and textures continues to impress. I can hardly wait for my next visit!

One of my favourite restaurants in Vancouver and one I constantly return to. I love their new tasting menu format which means that whenever I go it is a new experience. Regardless of what the food is, the execution is always top notch. Taste and presentation are excellent and it is really good value for the price too. Anna Lena is a must visit restaurant in Vancouver. Update Nov 21, 2021 - Still a great experience!
