Royal Dinette - Vancouver, British Columbia

Menu looks amazing, drinks and starter with asparagus was great. Mushrooms in starters were so much fried, the same with squid and sunchockes. Specially main vegetarian meal - 28$- only a few sunchockes and ricotta- meal was so small, size of appetizer, with to strong sauce. We didn't feel good ... after dinner - maybe sauces, maybe to fried food(( Read more

No doubt that Royal Dinette's Executive Chef Eva Chin is one of the rising stars of the New American cuisine. Her prior experience at Maaemo, Brae and Atelier Crenn has a profound impact on the thoughtfulness of the menu and the elegance of food styling. She's not shy to search ... for new approaches and take the new challenges. However, you can expect some hits and misses in this search. In our recent visit to Royal Dinette, we tried the First Signs of Spring special tasting menu. The elaborated menu was built around simple and local ingredients. Each dish was comprised of a symbol of the passing winter - pickled, marinated or fermented ingredient, and a symbol of the upcoming spring - fresh and invigorating. The dinner started with a grilled sprouted brassica, a bit heavy on the vinegar, and a braised rabbit in carrot puree, simply amazing. The beetroot foam with Comte cheese and flower petals was surprisingly sweet and tasted more like a desert; the milk bread with morels was heavily charred in the oven – we didn't particularly like either of these dishes. The main courses that followed were more balanced. We enjoyed the tender Spring salmon and especially the roasted celeriac. The deserts elevated our experience to a whole new level: foamy fermented oatmeal with brown butter ice cream was one of the most creative desserts we've tried so far, and the sorrel sorbet with elderflower jelly could be easily served at Atelier Crenn. Royal Dinette is equally great for an elevated dinner or a quick lunch. A definite keeper in the list of restaurants to come back. Read more

Inventive and fresh! We order the Family Menu, chef choices dishes perfect balanced. The desserts are a really and authentic surprise.

I treated a little because I found out about this place from dine out Vancouver, but decided to go for lunch instead for nearly the same menu. My family and I had a greattttt lunch. Plates were colourful and beautifully crafted. Flavour combinations were spot on, and everything was ... well seasoned, not too much and not too little. It was really good and I will definitely come back as a return Diner！ Thanks for winning that best new restaurant award so I could find you. Read more
