"Open for: Dinner Price range: $$ After the much-loved Juice Bar shuttered, long-time server Lindsay Otto took over and re-opened the place as Bar Tartare. Located in the same space as the popular Birds and the Beets cafe, the bar stocks its fridges with unfined, unfiltered, natural, and low-intervention wines from B.C. and beyond. Expect knowledgeable servers to cheerily exclaim “Try this!” as they pop corks (or unscrew caps). Given the bar’s name, you’ll have to try the tartare (the bison is superb, with plenty of zingy flavor and crunchy textures), but check out nightly specials from the rotating crew of guest chefs. Best for: Exciting pop-ups with some of the city’s most talented young chefs." - Nikki Bayley
