Wildebeest

We went for my birthday dinner this summer and it exceeded our expectations! Our waiter was charming and knowledgeable. He made our experience absolutely perfect. The food was phenomenal! Each dish was unique but a few stood out. The bone marrow was fun and the garlic scapes were AMAZING! This meal was the highlight of our trip.

Amazing food. You can really feel the emphasis on nature in their cooking. It was the Pacific Northwest on the table, all served in a cozy setting. Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Adventurous eating at it’s finest, the horse tartare was exquisite. Two thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼

If anyone looking through these reviews wants the best brunch in Vancouver, search no further: Wildebeest is the place you need to be. I've waited in the hour long line at Jam Cafe, tried Catch 122, Enzo's, Forage and a gauntlet of others and read brunch reviews enough to make my eyes bleed in search of the perfect place. Quite frankly I'm a little upset with myself for not coming here sooner, and if you haven't been, make sure you fix that asap. The bar is amazingly well stocked and well staffed. Wildebeest's bloody caesar came with a sweet pickled green bean and a smoked castelvestrano olive (dear sweet god these olivez are good - and thankfully available as an appetizer on the dinner menu) in a glass liberally sprinkled with seasoned salt - blissful, and not surprisingly now the benchmark to which all bloody caesars will be held in the future. I ordered the bacon Benedict, which I highly recommend. The bearnaise was perfect, the eggs glorious with a deep orange runny yolk, and (the best part) ...face bacon all on a grilled buttermilk biscuit. A beautifully done hasselback potato and a side of seared kale rounded out the dish. Bottom line, you need to eat brunch at the Wildebeest.

Went on for the 10 course tasting menu and was amazing with the selection and well rounded flavors from start to finish. I love trying new things so a tasting menu is perfect but I would single out the lamb, charcuterie and apricot desserts as truly amazing. I would also like to mention that our severs Liam and Gabby could not possibly have done a better job. They explained everything and answered all our questions about the dishs, checked back often, were very friendly and truly added to our dinning experience. Becuae of the amazing food and the great service from Liam and Gabby I would highly recommend Wildebeest to everyone.

Love love loved this place! Fabulous dinner for a Friday date night. Lovely atmosphere, amazing service, and delicious food. I don’t eat meat yet still had a great meal, the carrots, artichokes, caviar, and fish dish. The fish was cooked perfectly with beautiful unique flavors. My boyfriend loved the meat dishes. We’ll definitely be back.

Came here for Valentine’s Day special. Taste of appetizers was good. Taste of mains were soso at best. The bison steak was very tough and difficult to eat. The truffle ravioli was excellent. Service level was below average compared to most other western restaurants. For $75 per person base price before drinks and add-ons, I was expecting better food and service.
