Customer Reviews
Went for the prefixed menu and was not disappointed. Everything was quite flavourful and the torn bread with one of the courses is amazing! Kind of wish you could get it for takeout. Decent amount of food for the average person so make sure you don't make the mistake of having a late lunch like we did; we were stuffed. The main course was really good. I'm not normally a fan of lamb but I enjoyed it this time. The sable fish was also very sumptuous. Not sure which I liked more.
In general, I enjoyed the appetizers and desserts, some of which surprised me. But mean courses did not meet my expectation, some were too salty and some were to sour, those heavy flavor make food lost the balance of taste. For the choice of plates, it looks very simple and it goes perfectly with each dish. The lady who ordered our drinks and took our bill was very friendly and provided nice service.
le Summun de la cuisine à Vancouver, épicurien , grand voyageur je pensais connaitre tous les bons restaurants de Vancouver , y habitant en partie depuis plus de 20 ans , quelle impudence , je viens hier de découvrir à Vancouver à l’entrée de Kitselano un bijou déjà primé d’une Étoile au guide Michelin. quel repas de A à Z , du début à la fin … par quoi commencer , tout y était parfait même le pain brioché servi , avez vous seulement eu une fois dans un restaurant de Vancouver ….. du pain !!! autrefois à Ubantu , fermé cette année sinon aucun souvenir … un régal à chaque plat sans fausse note depuis l’huître à la mousse de foie gras et pomme jalapeño mignonnette , , le poulet frit à la truffe noire , une assiette de champignons huîtres avec une sauce hollandaise , vadouvan incroyable comme la salade d’endive blanche avec son crumble de pain miso césar sauce et porc XO …un magret de canard cuit et croustillant avec des agnelotti de coquilles saint jacques ….sans parler d’un Waguu Miyazaki Préfecture … je m’arrête là en felicitant grandement le chef et sa brigade , l’ équipe en salle , la décoration de la salle avec une belle lumière tamisée et indirecte. les étoilés du Michelin à Paris ont de rudes concurrents à Vancouver tant dans la restauration que dans ce qu’on peut fumer en toute liberté. Bravo encore de m’avoir fait découvrir AnnaLena, le must …
Deuxième fois au AnnaLena et toujours emballés. Cuisine excellente et très inventive, personnel chaleureux et sympathique. Un must!!!!
