The Acorn, a MICHELIN Recommended and award-winning restaurant, brings a fresh, modern approach to vegetable-forward dining in the heart of Vancouver’s Main Street. Known for its creative, locavore-driven menu, The Acorn delivers an unforgettable dining experience using locally sourced, peak-season ingredients. With options for vegans, vegetarians, and gluten-free diners, even the most dedicated carnivores leave satisfied.

Our commitment to sustainability runs deep. In our zero-waste kitchen and bar, every part of the ingredient shines—from the skins and stems to pits and peels—transformed into inventive dishes and drinks. We’re proud of our close relationships with local organic farmers, foragers, winemakers, and distillers, ensuring that 99% of what you enjoy on the plate (and sometimes the plate itself!) is grown, harvested, or crafted right here in BC and Western Canada. Signature cocktails shine while local wines showcase the harmony of Terroir to plate.

    I had the most incredible birthday celebration at The Acorn, and I can't recommend it highly enough! The flavors were bold, creative, and beautifully presented—truly an artful exploration of plant-based cuisine. The service was impeccable; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel so special throughout the evening. The atmosphere was cozy yet sophisticated, perfect for a memorable celebration. If you're a fan of innovative vegetarian cuisine, The Acorn is a must-visit. It's an experience that will leave you both satisfied and inspired!

    Food was great, service was a bit off pace. We felt rushed. Had food before our first drink and then waited at the end for the bill for 20 minutes… Overall yummy I’d go back but not for the tasting menu

    Unfortunately the food was extremely salty. Especially dishes made with mushrooms. In our experience was not worth it the price (chef’s degustation menu).

    Dined alone, and not drinking. They ensured I had the same depth of experience as other tables, with paired mocktails instead of wine, and extra time with me to enrich the social aspect of the meal. Every single dish on the chef’s tasting menu was beautiful, explained with pride, and thoroughly delicious. No “tastes just like real meat” nonsense - this is Vegetable, in all its boundless glory.
