About us

The Acorn is a Michelin recommended, award-winning, vegetable-forward locavore restaurant and bar located at the heart of Vancouver’s Main St. It is a destination for diners seeking the best and most creative meals made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Carefully crafted dishes from our zero-waste kitchen cater to vegans and gluten free diners while ensuring that even the staunchest meat eaters leave fully satisfied. 

Our zero-waste kitchen ensures that every ingredient is celebrated to its fullest potential - utilizing the stems, skins, pits and scraps from our fruits and vegetables, re-purposing them into the many components that make up our menu. We value the meaningful connections with local organic farmers, foragers and purveyors to the point where 99% of everything you find on your plate (and in some cases the plate itself) was grown, harvested or made in British Columbia and Western Canada.

What people are saying

The Arbor is a playful, two-patio neighbourhood restaurant focused on good times, great drinks and refined indulgences. Its kitchen uses fresh, wild foraged and otherwise real plant-based ingredients to create familiar made-from-scratch casual cuisine - like the signature Arburger - while its bar program zeroes in on wines, beers and ciders that pair well with a deep fryer. It is the accessible sister/sequel to the award-winning Acorn Restaurant (located on the same block) with the same uncompromising attentions being paid to quality, detail and deliciousness.
