Chambar Restaurant

We had dinner on New Year's Eve here.the restaurant was extremely busy. While the food and service were decent, they didn’t quite meet the expectations set by the reviews I had read beforehand. The semolina flatbread starter was too salty for my taste, though the steak was enjoyable. My husband felt that while the individual components of his main dish were good, they didn’t come together as a cohesive dish. Given how busy it was, the servers didn’t check on our table as frequently, which may have been understandable under the circumstances. Overall, for a New Year's Eve reservation, we were hoping for something a bit more special. We also chose not to order any dessert.

This has been a staple in Vancouver and a solid dining spot for years. I came here recently to try their set menu that was around in the summer and it did not disappoint. For the price point you get quite a lot of food and a great dining experience. They deliver on the food, it’s properly cooked and flavoured, the service is top notch, and their cocktails are delicious. Will definitely look forward to another visit in the future.

Chamber is a beautiful restaurant with a lovely ambiance and a cozy atmosphere. The staff were fantastic—attentive, friendly, and provided great service. I tried their Dine Out menu, and while the dessert was nice, I was disappointed with the other dishes. The Moules Frites Congolaise, in particular, lacked flavor. The sauce didn’t work for me—it tasted like something from a canned tomato product—and I couldn’t finish the fries as they were overcooked. On a positive note, the Pot-au-Feu was quite good, with the meat being very tender. Overall, though, the meal didn’t meet my expectations.

We decided to try out Chambar for their Dine Out Vancouver 2025 menu. Absolutely spectacular! The food was to die for, cozy atmosphere, and excellent service. A definite ‘Must Go Back’!

Came here in a week day evening for their $50 set menu. You get to choose from two items for each course and there's a total of 3 courses. I ordered the char for my main and it was really good. My husband ordered the hen 3 ways but it's very salty. I didn't like it that much. The dessert, Palova was very well made and so delicious. The chocolate cheesecake was okay, nothing too surprising. Overall, the meal was good except for the hen dish. Server was attentive and the restaurant wasn't loud.

Recently enjoyed the Sunday brunch with a few friends. The DIY mimosas were a big hit; the orange juice was super fresh and delicious. Mussels are definitely one of their best dishes. I had a dairy free fricassée and it was absolutely top notch. No bad dishes on the menu, and they have among the best wine menus in the city. Special occasion, or just a quick light meal. You can’t go wrong here.

Came for the summer series three course tasting menu and between three of us we sampled all six of the options. To start the confit albacore tuna with peach salad was artfully presented but nothing special taste-wise. If I had paid $27 for this dish off the regular menu I would have been disappointed. The grilled radicchio and fennel salad on the other hand was quite impactful and fully enjoyed. The pan seared Arctic Char with salt cod brandade main course was excellent and the highlight of the meal. Presentation was picture perfect and the good sized portion of fish was perfectly cooked. The brandade was delicious and something I had never tasted before. My son had the game hen three ways and wasn't impressed, finding the portion to be too small and the hen to be on the dry side. The chocolate burnt basque cheesecake and BC berry pavlova for dessert were both very good and again very nicely presented. Overall the dinner was very good and very good value for the $49 price.

This place is so lovely. Mussels and French fries are the perfect combination. We spent our anniversary here and we’ll remember it for a long time. Make sure you book a reservation!

literally if I'm in Gastown, I'm finding an excuse to eat at this gem of an establishment. if you're familiar with Belgian fare and want a world class experience. place yourself in these fine peoples care.

AMAZING BRUNCH. Absolutely delicious and filling! The service was too notch! I loved our server. He was very enthusiastic and started our day with a friendly face. The brunch is a bit expensive but it is worth it! The only qualm is the seating. Could be more comfortable. Beware queues on weekends. Best to make a reservation as it was very busy when we went. We waited by the entrance for 10 minutes before being seated, and we had a reservation.

First time here and loved the service, ambiance and portion was generous. We came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and they had a Dine Out Vancouver special $65 per person, 3- course meal! I love that they offered a cheese board as a dessert but their coconut cheesecake was so decadent I would still choose that. The only thing that I found not so great was that lack of parking in the area unless you want to pay $36 for the parkade. The last stall in the restroom had windows that were not covered and there condos all around. My friend's bill also looked incorrect. Besides these things, I still enjoyed the food very much!

Checked out Chambar for brunch on a solo trip to Vancouver. It comes highly recommended and I see why! The food was delicious and flavorful and the drinks were well balanced and smooth. I ordered the Brochette du Porc, which was a great option to try all the different meats they specialize in making. It was the perfect brunch dish with good portions and tons of yummy, well-paired flavors! For drinks, I ordered the Caesar and a Cafe Martinez. Both were good! I had great service sitting at the bar and all of the staff I met were very nice and gave helpful recommendations for my first time visiting. I would definitely put this on my list to come back to next time I'm in town.

I had the most fantastic dish, Gaufre à la Truite, a delightful combination of trout and eggs. The trout was incredibly tender, and the eggs were perfectly runny. The restaurant had a refreshing spring vibe, even though it was fall, and the service was friendly and helpful, especially with some of the more challenging words on the menu. Whether you're looking for a fantastic start to your day, a romantic date spot, or a place to celebrate with friends, you absolutely have to try this place!

A beautiful awesome day amazing people of the world! This morning we're at it again for another brunch episode during our "eff around and find out" adventures in different cities around the world. Today we find ourselves at Chambar in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada. Why here?? Because we're hungry and we wanna give it this place a go at it. First up is the Shakshuka which was amazing, I specially loved the lentils with the fried halloumi. Put that with the stew on the pita chips and stick it all in your mouth. Amazing! Then there's the La Saucisse, which literally means "The Sausage" en frances. It's got cornbread, eggs, and watercress. But the star of the show is that chimichurri. I could eat that with a spoon. It's that good. Anyway, if you like discovering new places to smash. Hit that follow on my profile. Share this review with a smash mode buddy and thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day! I love you!

Good food service and I loved how calm atmosphere was I'm from Seattle and it was very low light and moody

Really outstanding restaurant. We walked in without a reservation and got lucky with a table. They gave us booth seating, which was great for our toddler moving around a ton. The wait staff was so patient with him.... being a toddler in a nice restaurant. Never once did I feel like he was bothering them, even though I know he was! We felt so welcome. We got the tasting menu and it included three courses each. Loved every bite of what we ate! The entrees blew us away with how tender the meats were. The dessert was simply amazing. We also got an entree for our toddler, which the manager came along and comped for us, after coming to meet us, check on us, and learn that we were visiting. He also offered both of us complimentary mocktails! The service (I wish I remembered his name!) was too kind and gracious. He was the highlight of our experience there. If you are looking for something unique to have in Vancouver, in a beautiful and classy setting, I recommend Chambar! You will not be disappointed.

This is some of the best food and service you'll have anywhere. 5 star service and taste at 3 star prices. Everything we ordered was bold and unapologetic in flavor. Every small bite can have so many different textures and pockets of contrast. I particularly enjoyed the lamb tangine.

We made reservations for this restaurant for Brunch and were quickly seated when we arrived. This restaurant had really nice aesthetics, but I expected a little more from the food. I think the presentation was nice but the food was just ok. It didn't really stand out to me. I don't know how to explain it but it just seemed to lack something in its food and I can't pinpoint what it is...

Great place for brunch in Vancouver! We had the Brochette du porc and the Fricassee and both were incredibly good. A nice sampling of the porc- the andouille was flavorful without being too spicy. The Fricassee included a very rich broth that was a perfect complement. Our server was really friendly and top of things. The vibe is definitely Belgium chalet. Highly recommend this place.

We came to Chambar as a party of four on Saturday night. We had an 8:45 reservation-it was not too busy but still lively. Their kitchens close at 10:00 PM, so as long as you know what you want to order for an appetizer or dinner going in, you are good! My cocktail of choice this evening was the Quiet Coyote. Despite the mild sounding name, this cocktail packs a punch! I love the combination of mezcal, rum, lime and ginger here. This was a fizzy and light surprise! Our table split two appetizers: Bastilla de Lapin- this was savory rabbit wrapped in phyllo. The sauce it came in was smoky without being overpowering. The rabbit had the consistency of pulled pork. It was wonderful! Our go to appetizer is the foie de canard "Villa Lorraine"-we love the French toast like bread that comes with the side of iced cranberry. This plus the balsamic drizzled fois gras is excellent. For my entree, I enjoyed the Tajine d'Aziz a l'Agneau. I love this dish so much. I know I have reviewed it before. But I love it-the lamb falls right off the bone, and the figs bring together the cream, harissa, couscous, and the bok choy. Chambar has an excellent rotation of old favorites and new dishes. They are a pleasure to return to time and time again. They are consistently excellent.

Late dinner at Chambar restaurant. If possible, get the seats near the window downstairs. We had: Beetroot carpaccio with miso and tahini . Beetroot was thinly sliced. Perfect complement to the miso or tahini drops White wine mussels Butternut squash, coconut curry, mushrooms and sticky rice. (Beautifully presented.. we had to ask the waiter where is the sticky rice ) pumpkin crème brûlée with vanilla ice cream

Beautiful place! You walk in and they have a closet for you to hang your coats. We were able to get a last minute reservation and were taken downstairs to our table. My food wasn't what I expected. My lentils were delicious but the rest of it was so so. A little salty, the cast iron pan gave my food a weird after taste and my waffle was hard and not warm. My bf enjoyed his sandwich and i should've ordered the same thing. My macchiato was perfect and I drank it so quick I didn't take a picture. There is a parking garage and plenty of street parking nearby. Our server was always around when we needed him and he was fabulous.

A classy brunch spot in Gastown with unique brunch menu options! They have a large interior which allows for a bigger group. Pro tip: if you go there after 1pm on a weekend, you will most likely get a table even though you don't have a reservation. If you go earlier on a weekend without a reservation, be prepared for a long wait! Luckily, we didn't have to wait either and were seated right away. For drinks, we got their DIY bottle of mimosa which was good for 6 people, the bubbly definitely gave us a kick. The last time I came I had ordered their shakshuka which I loved, it came with fried halloumi and the creamy tomato shakshuka. However, this time I decided to mix it up and get another thing from their menu so I got their Rôti de Boeuf. It was a bit too "meaty" for me and I found it very bland. I told the staff that I didn't like it as much and if I could order something else. The staff were super nice about it, they replaced my food with the shakshuka and did not charge for it! 5/5 for customer service as well as their shakshuka :)

Brunch was very good here. Get here at 9. It's not busy by that point. The cornbread with creme fraiche was surprisingly good and crispy. Everyone enjoyed their food and the ambience. By 10 it was quite loud and busy and it changed a little. Nice treat here.

We had a Sunday brunch here. Both the food and the service were very good. Our server was quick and helpful, especially in describing some of the dishes and helping us decide by asking about our preferences. My wife had the eggs with sausages. Hers was very good and she liked the andouille best. I had the eggs with short ribs. The meat was fall apart tender and the gravy was very flavorful. It is a nice place with a quiet (we couldn't really hear conversation at nearby tables) atmosphere. While the view out the windows is nothing special because of a mass transit station next door, the inside is warm and inviting.

Visited this place based on the good brunch reviews. Plus point for being one of the few brunch places that accept reservation. Impeccable service and lively vibe, though it was slightly too noisy for you to chat comfortably with your friends. Food wise, personally much prefer Chambar vs its infamous neighbour with the massive lines. Shakshuka ($18) 8/10 A bit different compared to traditional shakshuka (in a good way), the baked peppers gave a nice smokiness to the tomato stew. Eggs on top were also baked perfectly as per my request. I enjoyed the twist of having halloumi and lentils on the side. Gaufre a la Raclette ($20) 7/10 Since Chambar is pretty known for its waffle, I expected this to be mind-blowing. Unfortunately, the waffle got soggy from the cheese on top. The mushrooms was the highlight for me (I think they used Worcestershire sauce?) as it was very meaty and umamy. La Truite Fumee ($19) 5/10 A fish burger with trout and egg sandwiched between potato bun. I'm not a burger's fan in general so this wasn't for me. I thought it was quite mediocre, plus despite claiming to have jalapeno sauce I really couldn't taste it when I took a bite.

Phenomenal cuisine and craft cocktails- everything we ate and drank was delicious! What sets Chambar apart is the customer service and knowledge of the staff. They were extremely kind and helped to ensure our experience was as positive as it could be, while also offering very practical recommendations to visit in the area. Highly recommend!

Foods, beers, ambiance, servers were all great. Heads up, the mussel fries are not a one man dish. I tried but had to give up. They had an extensive Belgian beer selection. I do wish they had more stout/porter types though.

I came to Chambar pre Covid and it was one of my fav place for mussels. This time around I was craving for mussels and wanted to come back to this restaurant. The restaurant is very modern with a hip vibe. I arrived during brunch, but I didn't want brunch so had to wait until 11:30 am when they open their lunch and dinner menus. So I had some Mimosas cocktail while I waited. The mimosas was made with freshly squeezed orange juice. They also have fresh grape fruit and watermelon juice. I sat at the bar since the place was packed and I didn't have reservations. The bar tenders were so nice and very amazing service. I ordered the coconut curry mussels with sour dough bread and a side of fries. It was as amazing as I imagined! The mussels were so fresh and completely hit the spot! Will definitely come back next time I'm in Vancouver.

Not many good options. The atmosphere is awesome, very cool old building. Service was very good, one person didn't like their drink so they swapped it immediately no questions asked.

Both hostess are unprofessional. I dined in 7/5 @ 6pm this evening. I asked to be seated in the patio and in the shade and received nothing but roadblocks by both girls. The blonde one refused to walk me to the patio unless I stepped in the doorway. I mentioned, I did not want to put my mask on so I wanted to wait outside until she was ready. Once the brown hair girl walked me to my table, I requested for a table in the shade. She did not offer one, though there was one available at the other end. Restaurants are a hospitality business and this business makes it impossible to enjoy. Our medium rare steak came out rare. We asked to have it cooked a 2nd time which I think did not happen. The steak was still rare. I do not intend to be back.

Wow! One bite was all it took to determine this place is the real deal. We came for brunch. Service was quick and very friendly. Go out of your way to come dine here!

Exceptional causal restaurant for brunch with reasonable price. European chefs in the kitchen, European front house service with fine dining service which you could hardly find in Vancouver. They've definitely deliver their promise on making food exciting again. Money worth spent!!!

Very, very good! We were visiting from California and were looking to try something different after getting completely rejected by an hour wait at Jam Cafe. What brought us in? The sign "Best brunch, best patio..." This is truly a "brunch", brunch! The best mix of breakfast and lunch, sweet and savory, traditional and modern ambiance. Service was amazing, food was spectacular, and overall adored the entire experience. A big thank you to the staff for taking care of us!

This was delicious! They had a lot of Belgian beers to choose from, lots of great options! We shared the Foie gras and beef carpaccio. The Foie gras was very tasty, it came with a French toast bread and raspberries. I enjoyed the beef carpaccio as well. I had the mussels for dinner, I went with the coconut tomato broth, very tasty! I sampled the duck which was also very yummy. I'd definitely recommend a stop by here!

We were visiting Vancouver and popped in for dinner on a Tuesday night. Our server was kind, attentive, and had great suggestions. I had my eye on the jerk prawns and they were the highlight of our meal. Definitely get them. The white sweet potatoes and the cauliflower added great texture. We even ordered a side of sourdough bread to dip the sauce in and it was delish. I had the lamb which was good and came in a broth. Our server recommended scooping the cous cous into the sauce which enhanced the flavors even more. We had the Congolaise mussels as well. So much food! Don't skip the blue fig cocktail-the slight sweet from the cocktail paired perfectly with the blue cheese crumbles.

My aunt and uncle were visiting and I think I couldn't have booked a better place. I, of course, was drawn by the reviews and the positive feedback of other patrons' experiences, but these were not fluff marketing ploys. The food was absolutely amazing! The dishes were unique in both presentation and taste. If you want something DIFFERENT and novel, then this is the place. It may sound corny, but the medley of ingredients that were activating my taste buds was incredible. I'm really curious what the other dishes taste like and that's why it's worth revisiting. The vibe was upbeat and you are made to get into that personable mindset, as the staff members seem to be - from the reception to the initial greeting at the table and the overall service. I would have preferred the tables and seats to be a bit farther apart for more semi-privacy, but packing in that many patrons also made business sense. It was my uncle's treat and I think the servers already got the cue from that considering he was the more senior at our table and staff members were engaging him more, but the servers also were not short of properly addressing us when it was our turn to say something. Acknowledgement of presence was never short and I loved it about their service. They're absolutely attentive and also steadfast. If the water levels on glasses were low, someone was on it and they had that open-hands stance about their demeanor in engaging us. Someone would swing by every now and then to check in on us and the staff members were not snoots. This is probably the best experience I've had in a while. The restaurant is worth a try EXPERIENCING.

A local institution. I've been here several times over the years. And it has all the hallmarks of a great restaurant. Good food Good service Consistent every time Plus the venue itself is very nice and comfortable. My recent visit was a Friday night. I had a reservation but they weren't packed anyway so walking in would have probably been fine. We ordered: Charcuterie platter. excellent Endive salad. Nice warm salad. Lamb leg. This was great, very generous portion Duck leg. Delicious. Congolaise mussels. A classic here. Always reliably good. Chocolate coffee dessert. This was interesting. Similar taste profile to a tiramisu. Excellent. "Popsicle" dessert. Good, very tart, somewhat hard to eat. Extensive cocktail menu. Parking is available on the street (metered) and there's a couple pay lots across the street. Easy recommend.

Unbeatable and consistent since the early 2002.... Professional Service , welcoming, amiability and smiles proved a perfect training aiming to satisfy client , enjoying the food quality and diversity is never undermined by anything that would not make the experience , each time, unique

They serve garbage with salt. Not fit for human consumption. The only good thing was perhaps the salad? Even it was salty. I got gout because of their "complimentary sweetbreads" & the food is sooooooooooo rich. My date is a pescatarian - no one warned us of the organ meat from animals. Totally disgusting fare at this crappy place. Highly NOT recommended.

immaculate spot. Blue fig martini is absolutely beautiful and the food is sourced so well - from the cheeses on the dessert plate to the beers to the mussels. Bartenders are super fun and happy to recommend things (accurately). Nice spot for a casual upscale drink or special occasion ! will note that the dine out menu has gotten worse over the years

Such ambiance and lively for a Sunday night. Super cool vibe and each dish was unique and delicious. We started with the fig infused gin Martini with blue cheese tasting on the side, such a fun drink and not too 'martini' like. The flatbread was an incredible combination of flavors in each bite. We shared the Vin Blanchard mussels, although the fries were the best part of it (mussels were still great!). The duck confit was our main dish with the duck just falling on the bone, it was so moist. The service was highly attentive! I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant!

Good food and great service. Environment is good with classy vibe. Main course is great

First dine out Vancouver 2023 experience, and I gotta say, I'm not impressed with the menu and service on this one. It's sad because this use to be one of my favorite restaurants in Vancouver. I loved the ambience and food back then, it was hippy, contemporary with a character. After they moved to the expanded location, the decor is pretty westernized, with big window, and wood frame doors and table, open kitchen concept etc. I mean, It does make the room look more spacious, however, it lost the original accent. The dine out menu was decent, nothing too outstanding, except the big portion. I had the Les Scampis for my appetizer. The shrimps were tender and fresh, they are accompanied with a jerk spice butter sauce, had a Caribbean flavor to it. There were also some raw cauliflower and slices jalapeño, which added more spice and flavor to this dish. I'm glad that I'm able to handle spicy food, but I can see how others may dislike this dish with the spicy level being flared up. My hubby had the Le Boeuf, the Chicago-style hanger steak, cippolini onion rings, pine nuts, candied morels, truffle mayo, grated parmesan. The flavors were well incorporated, and the beef was tender as well. Moving on to the entree, I had Moules Frites 'Congolaise' , mussels with tomato coconut cream, smoked Chili, lime and cilantro. It has always been my favorite, and the flavor was exactly the same as 10 years ago! Pairing with some pomme frites was perfect. In contrast, my hubby's Les Boulettes de Chevreuil, venison meatballs with ricotta and goat cheese gnocchi, was very dry and bland. There wasn't much flavor too it, other than being gamey. He was very disappointed with it. Finally the dessert we chose Poire et Chocolat, which is the baked ganache with chestnut, cream mulled wine pear compote, praliné caramel sauce. It was very cream but on the sweet side. I couldn't finish it with it being too sweet. My hubby ordered the Plateau de Fromage, which came with three different type of cheese, some grapes, and lavash crackers. In both of our opinions, this shouldn't be on the dessert menu at all, it was very heavy after another heavy meal. He could barely finish one piece of cheese! What really made us felt disappointed was the services. Our server apparently was new, but his attitude was definitely not. As soon as I sat down, I overheard him telling the table beside us to better order everything on the menu all at once because they have a very busy night, and the kitchen is busy, which implied that they are just trying to flip the table quickly. Then when we asked him about some recommendations on the cocktails, he claimed that he's new and don't know too much about it, which was very odd, and he didn't even want to find out any info for us. After the meal, we asked the bill and rest for a like 5 minutes. He came over and stood in front of us very awkwardly after paying the bill, and basically told us to leave right away because there was another large party of 7, and they need to push our table to combine with the rest of them in the same row. The message came off rude, and ignorant. We felt rushed and unwanted. With this type of services, I might as well do a grab-and-go, why bother to do a dine out?! There it goes my favorite restaurant use-to-be. I'm very disappointed by how commercialized it has become. Maybe I'm just getting old, and have a higher standard with the service industry. Either way, we won't be back, unless I crave for their mussels again, but I'll have to order a pick up. They might not even have a table for us after all!

This restaurant is still one of the best spots for fantastic service, pleasant soothing ambiance, unique, delicious and aesthetically pretty plated dishes. We have our favourite which we look forward to, and we also try some from their new menus every time we visit, and mostly it is top-notch. We decided to go here again for my birthday; we booked 5 pm, and there are not many people yet, covid precaution was well observed. For this visit, we had: Boeuf Braise-this was so tender, strong taste, creamy mashed potato and some beets that made it pretty. For this, the taste of the beef is a little familiar as it taste like a Filipino arfritada . 33 L'aisette de Brasserie- the duck meat was so good it was crispy on the outside yet tender and juicy inside, at first bite it's somewhat sweet but as I eat together with the veggies and other savoury it was so perfect. 32 Coquette- this white wine cream mussel soup is still the best we tasted to far and yes this is our favourite that every time we visit Chambar we always have this. 33 Semifreddo- coconut fullerene clusters, angel food cake, cheery coulis. It a delicious dessert I enjoyed every bite of it. 13 Chocolate et Chataigne- a chocolate walnut cake with chestnut cream and honey, so good. 13 As always, all we're served pretty plated; kudos to their cooks. Overall, we had an excellent time; the server was fantastic, food was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant, one of the best in Vancouver.

High 4/5 stars, wish I could give 4.5 stars. Service was impeccable, water and sparkling water was constantly being refilled. Everyone in the restaurant who served us or walked by us was pleasant. Dark interior, but it's the vibe. Love it. Cocktail: The Waning Light $16 St George Terroir & Beefeater gins, Ardbeg 10yr whisky, black sesame & nori cordial, egg white, rosemary Bold & savoury | I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night If you love the peaty taste, you will love this cocktail. Nicely done! Our two appetizers: Foie de Canard "Villa Lorraine" $20 Spiced foie gras terrine, port reduction, kriek granita, truffled brioche french toast. I did not taste the truffle in the brioche toast to my disappointment, but the brioche itself was delicious. It was an interesting touch the kriek granita (frozen mixture that varies in flavour), it was refreshing on top of the foie gras. I've only ever had it on top of raw oysters. Thon et Chorizo Ocean Wise Recommended $19 Torched Albacore tuna, chorizo & olive salsa, bok choy, almond ajo blanco It was good, love the textures of everything combined. Overall the dish was okay, it was lacking flavour. Two Mains: Moules Frites Coquotte Ocean Wise Recommended $32 Mussels, white wine, cream, smoked bacon lardons, spring onion Fabulous dish! Definitely recommend. Huge portion. Was not able to finish. I wish we ordered some bread to dip in the yummy broth. Tajine d'Aziz à l'Agneau $33 Braised lamb shank, honey, figs, cinnamon, cilantro, almond cous cous My favourite dish of the night! The meat on the lamb fell off. Did not taste gamey. Cooked to perfection.

We ate at Chambar for our first night on vacation in Vancouver. My husband and I love Belgian food, so I gave my credit card to secure a reservation. I'm happy to say that the dinner was worth it! We were given a nice table and treated very well by all of the staff. The ambiance was nice and the menu had so many dishes that we wanted to order. Our server helped us pick some wonderful entrees, cocktails, and dessert. I loved the duck confit with goat cheese gnocchi, and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his steak with chimichurri, cornbread, and sautéed mushrooms. Both dishes were unique and generously portioned. I had a rum cocktail that was inspired by a cherry cola, and my husband had their famous fig martini. Both were great. We also ordered some cherry Kriek from their extensive Belgian beer list. What a treat! We finished this meal off with some fluffy beignets served with ice cream and a caramel sauce. This meal is one that I would order again from top to bottom. We hope to return again!

Ambiance as always was great and the service excellent. The food, unfortunately was mediocre at best. I've been eating at this restaurant since it opened and have never had this experience. The mushroom crepes were beautiful but very dry and the "caramelized" mushrooms were raw. My duck confit dinner looked beautiful but there wasn't one ounce of liquid or sauce anywhere, making everything, including the gnocchi, dry as a bone and almost impossible to choke down without a lot of water. My friend had the moules frites with smoked bacon which was so overpowering, all you smelled and tasted was that. I'm not sure if Nico is still the head chef, but it's sad to see and pay for beautiful plates that don't actually taste good.

Have you been working out because your "mussels" look huge! You can't visit Chambar without having their incredible mussels and frites. I had their congolaise which is cooked in a beautiful tomato coconut cream with chili, cilantro and smoked chili. It's perfect on a rainy Vancouver night! We did start of with their Foie de Canard Villa Lorraine which was incredible. Spiced foie gras terrine with truffled brioche French toast.... Sooo good! We also had their charcuterie and their Proscuitto wrapped dates was next level! Of course we ordered all their desserts! Chocolate fume, le cheesecake spice, gateau impossible au caramel and croustillant aux pommels. First place goes to their filo wrapped bourbon apples accompanied with their oat ice cream. Loved their chocolate Belgian beer cake too! Can't wait to "work out" here again!

What a treat to return to Chambar after six years. After a wonderful dinner years ago, I opted for brunch this time and wasn't disappointed. This is such a great space and the service was exceptional. As it was our last day and a Sunday, my best mate and I decided to make it a Funday by starting with a bottle of bubbly and OJ. I had the smoked trout and my friend had the roast beef, both accompanied my a perfect orange sunny-side up egg. Fantastic dishes, beautiful bread, seasoned well and so tasty.

Kinda pricey, but we ordered a lot. That said, the service was excellent! I think we had 3 waiters, who were all super attentive and super friendly! We ordered the mussels and fries. That tomato soup is spicy!! Many because there is a lot of black pepper, I think? But man, those mussels were plump moist and juicy. I don't know how they did that. Ahi tuna was ok. The waitress told us they are known for their beer, and it was pretty good. The outdoor seating ambiance was also quite nice. I would go back again, so cost seems worth it.

Came here for brunch with my brother & fiancé for some mimosas & food. They ordered the Gaufre aux Champignons which was a sour dough waffle with two poached eggs along with bacon which looked absolutely incredible and tasted just as good as it looked! I ordered the Fricassee which was braised short ribs served in a skillet with two fried eggs and potatoes + veggies. Once you gave everything a mix together it was super delicious and the beef was cooked until fall apart! Highly recommended coming for brunch!

Amazing meal! If you have not been here yet I highly recommend. :). But be prepared to spend a pretty penny! It started with a cocktail called blue ivy... blue cheese and a mix of whisky and on other lovely alcohol...Umm what a combo, absolutely out of this world. Followed by the appetizers that I was literally craving after the whole meal. The desert was the only one I did not take a pic of, we had donuts stuffed with cheesecake, with a crumble and caramel and a spoonful of ganache ice cream I literally felt so full, but kept craving the beouf frites appetizer... lol Oh! And I forgot to mention the amazing beer!!!! Literally made by monks in a monastery . It had hints of malt, cherries, plums, cinnamon... absolutely like a wine, but a beer !!! Wow! Our waiter was lovely, and we had a handful of super nice folks bringing our many dishes to the table... all in all an amazing, unforgettable experience.

Food and drinks here were amazing. Dishes were bit unique but good way. I was there with my husband and we would love to go back there again

When the menu is hard to understand, both food and cocktails, you gotta know it's good. My expectations were high for this place and it lived up to every bit of them. Really complex and sophisticated ingredients that all worked well together. The crispy shell shrimp app was divine. It had a nice spicy butter sauce that we dipped their homemade bread in. The goat cheese bread was awesome with the pear, blueberries, and crispy prosciutto, but we all agreed that we would've preferred the goat cheese to be more thinly sliced than a block of it. The steak was perfectly cooked and the sauce was amazing. The fish entree was interesting with the puree and raisin, caper, bean wrapped in tea leaf. I don't normally like raisins, but it added a nice sweetness to the dish. Everything had a unique flavor and stood out like a star on its own. Everything had a mixture of textures too which I'm a big fan of. The dessert was this apple pastry with ice cream and candied pecans. The pastry was light like baklava and the candied pecans weren't too sweet. Their drinks were also very delicious and dangerous haha. I loved the "yes, no, sure". What a great rec from my homie and can't wait to come here again!

Crazy food! I'm ready to live here. The Roti de Boeuf is unforgettable. Tender Belgian waffles, Moules Frites were excellent. Very attentive staff.

Came here for the first time for dinner anticipating fantastic things considering it's been around for years and has a great reputation. I was wrong . Our server was cold and didn't seem like she knew what she was doing. The mussels were under seasoned, my pork was under seasoned, my husband's duck was also dry and under seasoned . The only thing that was good was the sour beer I had . I am so extremely disappointed with the money I spent here and a waste of a date night.
