We stayed at the Listel and decided to try the in house restaurant. We had such a great experience we kept going back for breakfast, drinks and dinner. The charcuterie board was our dinner favourite and the home made granola won out at breakfast.

We both ordered the smoked salmon Benny which was exactly what I wanted it to be. Very good. The smoke on the salmon was delicious. We asked, and they stated the salmon was wild not farmed which was good. Coffee was good. We did have...to ask for water refills and coffee refills but it’s not like it ruined our experience. The one thing I would suggest is they serve on larger plates. I lost a few potatoes each time I cut my Benny.More

Had the Bison Ribs, 2 only for $35, but nothing else comes with it other than a tblsp of sauteed onions. Would be nice to have a carb to offset the meat's richness, which was very good.

Celebrating 10 years serving Vancouver Forage has been doing the “sustainable” thing longer than many, and although Chef Welbert Choi’s menu isn’t full of surprises the cookery is proper and flavors are bright while service walks a fine-line between formal and friendly.

If you love eggs Benedict like I do, then you need to visit this restaurant. They also have very good service.

I have been to Forage many times but recently they have employed a gentleman in his 50s (glasses, silver hair, slightly receding hairline) who is very rude. (He nearly hit one lady in my group with a menu and didn't apologize, for instance. She was...surprised and he said, "Well I didn't hit you, did I?") He was also very impatient when we had questions about the menu. No idea where he came from. It seems he only started working the floor in the last year or so. He said that with parties larger than 2, they insist on a restaurant policy of family sharing plates. More on that later. We were eating in a group of six people. I usually go with just one other guest. He insisted that we must do sharing platters which is a BIG RIP OFF. Because my group had various dietary restrictions (vegan, and one vegetarian), we had to order different things -- in one case, just one dish for one person. Having dined at Forage about 10 times in the last 18 months, I have to say the "sharing platter" was a lazy excuse for a fish dish, where my friend received something on a side dish. It cost $27 for a side dish of fish -- the same dish that when I order in a party of two would be a large plate and include garnish etc. The waiter said this is a policy that protects the kitchen staff from having to prepare too much food (??? which makes no sense because we are paying the full price). The last time I was there, I had been in a party of 4 and this was NOT a policy. We all ordered our own dishes. This was a very bad night for Forage, especially with the aggressive waiter. But the last two times I was there, I was very disappointed with the quality of food as well. There are much better options in Vancouver and the competition is heavy. If you just HAVE to go to Forage, be warned to not go in a party larger than 2.More

Every thing was high quality, primarily the food of course. The Breakfast items we had were extremely good. Service was appreciated, a little less formal for the Breakfast meal, which we liked. Atmosphere, appearance, cleanliness all top notch. We didn't stay long in Vancouver. Kind...of wished we could come back for a different meal.More

Stayed at the hotel near by and accidentally stopped by the restaurant. Outstanding food. Excellent service and sense of humor of Yasmine. We definitely want to come back.

An absolutely delicious breakfast - I had the bison hash which was more than enough food and very tasty. The staff were friendly, giving us great advice on what to do whilst we were in Vancouver. 100% recommend Forage for a meal!

Slightly pricey (just under $150 for dinner and drinks for 2) but the food was very very good and they had a house mocktail (apple and ginger) which went surprisingly well with all the dishes and my wife had a cider. For food we had...tuna (lightly seared with a kelp side), pork loin with a mild chilli sauce (aguachilli), nettle and garlic gnocchi, a duck chowder which had a prawn and crab toast and a cheeseboard for afters... All very tasty.More

I'd been wanting to try this restaurant on my visit to Vancouver and I wasn't disappointed. The mushroom dish was delicious and the stinging nettle gnocchi was also very nice. The olive oil cake was good but the portion was small for the price. All...in all, an excellent dining experience.More

This is an interesting restaurant: we were staying in the Listel hotel that is attached and enjoyed breakfast in Forage on two occasions. There are interesting choices and everything is beautifully cooked and well presented. However, service, though friendly was very slow. We also had...dinner one evening and I was rather disappointed. Our waitress made great play that the idea was to order dishes and share implying that they were very large. On the whole each dish was about the size I would expect for an appetiser and a main course so I did not really understand the emphasis on sharing. The food is interesting and innovative but not stunning. I found it very expensive for what it was. I can’t quite put my finger on it because the food was pleasant if not spectacular and service was friendly but it was not the great experience I was expecting from the reviews I had read prior to booking.More
