Named after Chef Francisco’s mother, Ophelia will specialize in authentic Mexican cuisine prepared with a refined, elevated approach.

“Given my strong connection to Mexican cuisine, we saw an opportunity to take advantage of my knowledge and passion and do something truly unique here in Olympic Village,” Higareda explains. “My mother inspired my love of cooking and it will be a true honour to return to my roots and pay homage to her and my country at Ophelia this spring.”

Ophelia will also offer a fully licenced bar serving handcrafted cocktails made with premium tequilas and mezcals, along with local and imported craft beers, and New- and Old-World wines.

The food and service was amazing! The only issue I had was that it was so loud that it was difficult to hear the server when we were speaking to each other. Keep in mind it was at 6pm on a Friday though, so I think more noise is to be expected at that time in a busy restaurant.

Extremely average food trying very hard to be high end. Beautiful Plating. Nice room. Decent cocktails. Salsas generally bland, overall food lacked depth and flavour generally anticipated with great Mexican. We tried 8 dishes and feedback was generally the same accross the board. Disappointing as there are so many fantastic places to eat in Vancouver but unfortunately, expectations were high and Ophelia fell short.
