Absinthe Bistro - Vancouver, British Columbia

Went here for a bday celebration and it was a great choice! Food tasted fresh and they had no issues substituting mashed potatoes and spinach for a salad and Cauliflower rice. They didn't get my order correct when I substituted the mashed potatoes +spinach for salad and Cauliflower rice (they ... gave me fries instead) but I didn't feel like making a fuss about it because there was only one server and kitchen staff had to help out too. The scallops were sooo good, I would order that again! Overall, great date night dinner! Read more

Food was perfectly cooked, and the flavours were good. Very nice blend of French and west coast ingredients. The squid was delicious.

First time dining here - our server was so nice and attentive. The food was interesting and lovely! I ordered the duck starter and it wasn't really my vibe, but I could definitely appreciate the quality of it. However, the scallops main course was amazing! Soft buttery scallops, creamy potato, ... creamed spinach - it was to die for! Then to finish off, the chocolate lava cake - which again, was amazing! I also tried The Black Fairy cocktail, which was so tart and crisp. It's been a while since I had found somewhere that serves absinthe, and it was lovely to see they offer drip too! Would definitely come back! Thank you :) Read more

The food here is absolutely exceptional! It was definitely the best meal that we’ve had in a very, very long time. Cory and his team are very welcoming. Everything from the bread that started the meal and the butter that came with it to the poached pear dessert to the ... seared scallops to the ceviche. 10 out of 10. It was truly remarkable that it was this flawless. congratulations. Read more

We celebrated a birthday at Absinthe Bistro this week and we all had a wonderful experience. The food quality and portion was excellent and the service was attentive and kind. We had a vegan diner with us and the chef and server tried their best to accommodate and was able ... to come up with two appetizers and an entree for us. My favorite was the ceviche (super fresh! we ended up ordering another plate after devouring the first one) from the appetizer and the scallops were sooo plumb and mouthwatering. Perfectly cooked. We can't wait to come back and try their food again when they change up the menu once every few weeks. Highly recommend :) Read more
