I’ve done brunch, lunch, dinner, and drinks at Chambar and each time it’s been lovely. The space is great and the staff friendly. For beer lovers you will find a large beer selection.
This place deserve 7 starts not only 5! It is just amazing in all terms and standards! Lovely atmosphere, excellent service, beautiful design, amazing food, very generous portions, wide choices and so much more! I choose to take my best girlfriends there for her birthday diner because of the great reviews and we simply end up being stunned with the quality of the service! We had so much fun everything was excellent we ate so much until we didn't had place for desert anymore but still since the chef knew that we having a birthday dinner he made sure we get a small complimentary sweets with a happy birthday note. We were so happy with this beautiful treat!!! Everything was excellent but the mussels were exceptional definitely it is a must try!!! I recommend and recommend and recommend again!!! It is already my favourite place in downtown Vancouver and can't wait to go soon for brunch it looks like it is soo yummy!!!
I expected more from their brunch. Too much of it was made before hand and was cold. Same with the waffles. Good service and great location however. I just wish the food was better. The dish we had was pretty overpowering and not at all balanced too. Super disappointed.
Went there for dinner. Totally enjoyed the food and drink a lot! They have pretty good collection of alcohol drinks. The lamb we had was so good! Desserts were tasty too!! I like their atmosphere too!
Had dinner there last night. I had the lamb and my girlfriend had the steak.
Both meals were absolutely amazing. The lamb was the best I have ever had and I had a piece of the steak which was one of the best steaks I have ever eaten.
Service was excellent and the decor/atmosphere was beautiful and made us feel comfortable immediately as we walked in the door.
We will definitely be there again for dinner and probably bring some friends.
The founders hate vegetarians (this is a fact shared with me by a former staff person, not hyperbole) and wanted to make a menu where there wasn't a single vegetarian item. They've come close to achieving that goal. If you dgaf about animals, the environment, or your health and especially if you're a selfish narcissistic prick, this is definitely the place to be.
I saw three mice running around in the dinning room, across from the bar. I alerted the manager, who shrugged it off and said that it is the building that have mice. He did not care one bit. I was shocked and appalled by his nonchalant. It's disgusting! They should call their restaurant a dive bar instead.
Everyone in my party agreed that they have never seen mice running around in a dinning room like this.
Also, the food was pretentious and not tasty.
I would not recommend to go here. There are too many other good restaurants. Don't waste your money and patronage.
Beautiful restaurant. Busy and a nice option for brunch for a somewhat unique menu. I found the waffles were a bit dense and lacking flavour. The paella was flavourful but it was more just orzo with chorizo, didn't really come across as a paella. Food was very filling and heavy/oily. Coffee was good. Server was nice.
One of my favourite restaurants ever. The drinks are remarkable. Very loud, very busy & service can take a bit; staff is very nice though & the mussels are delicious. The desserts are something quite unique, I've not been disappointed.
Is the line at Jam Cafe too long? Then try this place for a good alternative. Even if there is no line at Cafe Jam this is a good choice.
They have nice indoor seating and even nicer outdoor patio seating with regular tables or couches if you prefer.
Had a nice coffee and also a fresh waffle. You can get them with all sorts of toppings like chocolate sauce though I tried one with an orange marmalade. Yummy.
Also had a paella which came in a hot iron skillet with veggies and an egg served on top of rice. It also was good and seemed very popular. Lots of iron skillets were coming out of the kitchen.
Very relaxing atmosphere and no wait.
Great service and food. The restaurant is beautifully finished. I have always had a great experience at this restaurant and I go all the time.
Came here for brunch. Great ambiance and decor. I like that they take reservations unlike many other brunch places that make you you wait one hour plus. Ordered the braised short ribs and waffle with milk chocolate lavender. Waffle was on point. Light and fluffy. Short ribs was on the saltier side but still enjoyed it nonetheless.
One of the higher end Belgian restaurant in Vancity downtown. Good ambiance, delicious food, and professional service. The price is worth all these. If you are in a beautiful restaurant, only a few selection of main dishes doesn't matter too much. I had the tuna dish, which was amazing, but the portion was a bit small for me. Ordering an appetizer will do. Having a vast number of options for wine and beer definitely made it fun, with different lagers of Belgian origin. It took an average amount of time from order to eating.
Recommended for dates or couple drinks with groups!
Busy restaurant. Luckily we made a reservation and were sit within 15 minutes after arrival. Vibrant atmosphere. Attentive servers. Short wait for food. OK food (short ribs were on the salty side and were drown in sauce). Waffles made in house.
My girlfriend and I came here for her birthday yesterday. She had the lamb shank and I had the mussels. Her lamb was pretty good but my mussels tasted off. They tasted very strongly of garlic and overall were just okay.
The best part of our experience was our waiter who was excellent and with the bill brought us a small plate of candies and chocolate for my girlfriend's birthday. Very nice.
Now the reason for my low review is that this morning I woke up with food poisoning.. and when you're paying $80 for a two person meal that shouldn't happen. This is a nice place with nice decor, atmosphere and I'm sure a lot of excellent dishes. But it doesn't change the fact that it made me sick. So I can only give two stars.
