    Lego figurines and Star Wars memorabilia crowd the shelves of this moody navy-walled Kitsilano tasting menu restaurant, which is exactly the right amount of strange given what comes out of the kitchen. Chef Mike Robbins writes his courses in crayon on the menu, holds a Michelin star, and lands at number 35 on North America's 50 Best. The food draws on B.C. seasons and global technique in equal measure, and the wine program runs deep on small producers.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Torn bread with mussels

      “some signature items — like the oyster crowned with apple-jalapeño mignonette and shaved foie gras, or the torn bread with mussels and broth (and other seasonal accompaniments) — are not going anywhere.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
