June

This was my second time dining at June, and I’m genuinely impressed by their service. On my first visit, there was a small hiccup, but the team handled it with exceptional care and attention, true hospitality at its best. Shoutout to Leticia and Riley! The vibe is perfect for a date night, intimate and stylish, with excellent cocktails to match. Both times, the food was delicious. Highly recommend the tartare and bavette. The mussels are also a popular choice with great flavour. That evening’s special had hamachi crudo, it was so good we wished it were on the regular menu. And of course, the chocolate mousse is the perfect way to end the night. Definitely will be revisiting!

The decor and atmosphere at June are nice and cozy, though I found the music a little too loud at times. Service was attentive — my water glass was always full and the staff were friendly. Food-wise, there were a few standout dishes. The crab dip was delicious and paired beautifully with the Madeleines, and the mussels in wine sauce were excellent. The salad was also great, with incredibly sweet and juicy tomatoes. The fries were good, but nothing memorable. The dessert ended up being the best dish of the night. I was most excited to try the burger, but unfortunately it was underwhelming. The meat was a bit overcooked and the sauce leaned too acidic, which threw the balance off. Overall, while there were some highlights, I left feeling a bit disappointed given the higher prices and smaller portions. For me, it didn’t quite live up to the hype. There are better options such as Elio Volpe next door.

A very fun dining experience at June, which has a live DJ at night, which was a welcome surprise. This place is always packed so make sure you get a reservation! They also have a speakeasy style bar in the basement, which is a fun after dinner treat. Starting with the drinks, the cocktails are all well crafted with beautiful presentation and delicious undertones and flavours. They even brand their own clear ice, which is a nice touch. The food is also delicious. Their scallops and mussels were an absolute hit. They had a truffle fry special which was delicious and full of flavour. The truffle really shines. The pasta was a nice course to finish with and is one of their signatures. Overall - a great spot to have a trendy dinner.

Unfortunately, our experience didn’t quite live up to the hype. My friends and I had been trying to get a reservation at June for a while without success, so we decided to book a table at Lala, the bar downstairs that has more of a speakeasy vibe. The space itself. Both upstairs and downstairs—is beautifully designed, with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. However, we found the food a bit underwhelming. Since the downstairs menu is more limited, we missed out on trying dishes like the pasta and mussels, which we were really looking forward to. From what we did try, the highlights were definitely the beef tartare and the frog legs, Both were delicious. On the other hand, the scallops, which came highly recommended, were a bit disappointing for us. The sweetness from the brown sugar overwhelmed the natural flavor of the scallops. Similarly, the crab dip had potential, but the madeleines it came with were too sweet and overpowered the dip. Service was also on the slower side. While we understand the bar is designed to be a more relaxed experience, we did mention that one of us had to leave by a certain time. Unfortunately, there was no adjustment, and it took about 2.5 to 3 hours for our full meal, dessert, and bill. We had initially hoped to come back for another visit to try the pasta, but after this experience, we’re unsure if we’ll return. It’s a beautiful spot, and some dishes were lovely, but overall, it didn’t quite meet our expectations.

Our server is amazing. We 2 had 3 drinks, 3 dishes and 1 dessert to share. I would say the Chicken is the best! Highly recommend. $48 for half chicken is not cheap but worth it. The skin is crispy and little sweaty. Amazing!

Our server was Kenzie and she was so fantastic. She was very quick to check on us and so bubbly and sweet and enthusiastic. She had an excellent knowledge of the dishes and knew what to recommend according to what we wanted. The food was just fantastic, you could tell that so much care and thinking went into crafting the dishes and they used top quality and fresh ingredients. I truly felt like the chef was curating a meal just for us. It was our 13th anniversary and we were so satisfied and happy. I really do feel like every dish was incredible but what stood out was the crab Madeleine’s and the pork collar. The cocktails were amazing and the Pavlova was my favorite dessert. I would definitely come back again!! Bravo!

The vibes at June are so good – warm, inviting, and perfect for a night out. The food was absolutely amazing. We ordered the bread, mussels, oysters, crab dip, pasta, and salad, and everything was on point. Each dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully done. Definitely one of those places where you can order anything off the menu and know it’ll be great. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a spot with both atmosphere and quality food!

I had a wonderful experience at this bar. Our server is so professional, the cocktails were so good!!! The bartender delivered an impressive performance!! And all food is really good!! Especially the mustard served with the fries was a delightful highlight. And the DJ created a great atmosphere with excellent music, which made the evening even more enjoyable. Lastly, a special thanks to the Eric for the wonderful service

This place has received a lot of hype on social media. That I don't trust much, but some friends gave it a good review too, so I naturally wanted to try it. Reservations are recommended, and getting them online is a bit a competition. We arrive at open, and there was already a small line in front. Those with reservations were allowed in first, so I'm guessing they keep a few tables for walk-in. The space is quite dark. The most striking feature is the orange glow from the bar. We ended up trying the following: - Apple Celery Mocktail: Excellent. I usually don't include my drinks in the review, because they're usually not exciting. But this was one of the most memorable drinks I've had in recent memory. Wonderful blend of apple and celery, which was incredibly refreshing. - Le Petit Chapeau Pate: OK. Decent enough, but was the least exciting dish of the night. - June Brioche: Good. Small portion. Just enough for 4 people to take a bite. - Seasonal Salad: Very good. Nicely presented, it was fresh and simple. Tiny croutons were a nice surprise. - Pepper Bluefin: Very good. Nice executed and plated. - Pasta for Rachel: Very good. An interesting presentation, where we had to cut it up to share. Drenched in butter, which is a selling point. - Steak Frites: Excellent. Striploin was perfectly done, and I tried to soak up every drop of the brandy sauce. Fries were also excellent, and the mayo maison was outstanding. - June Burger: Excellent. Easily one of the best burgers I've ever had. Service was pretty good. Our server was good enough, as she was attentive. There was another server (or busser?) helping, and he was very entertaining trying to get my kids involved in a couple of conversations. Overall an excellent meal. Admittedly pricy, but the food got progressively better through out the night. I would rate 4.5 out of 5, but edging up to 5 because I still think about how good that steak and hamburger is. I would definitely return.

I feel like I've finally had enough time to digest my upsetting experience at June on Cambie to bring a honest review. The backstory - I've been here twice since their opening; the first time fresh within the month of their opening (pre-Lala), I had such a delightful experience, I decided to celebrate my birthday here the following month. The initial experience: 1st seating, packed, had a wonderful server (tall, slender fellow), food & drinks met and exceeded my expectations. The Drinks: ABC sour - read basic on menu, but the flavors worked so well together! Very smooth, refreshing palette, with just the right amount of punch. Blue Fizz - very sweet, muted spirit undertones, would've considered an extra shot in this one! Genmaicha Clover Club - this ones my favourite so far! The Food: June Brioche - the knob butter is really the star of the show. Solid brioche but portion size did not justify price point. Duck w/ frites & salad (seasonal, unfortunately) - this duck was phenomenal. Cooked to perfection - tender, juicy with a worcestershire-y sauce cutting right through the fattiness of the skin. This is also the dish I raved about prior to knowing it was seasonal :( Pasta for Rachel (2 attempts!) - the instagram-made-me-do-it order. I loveee fresh pasta cooked al Dante. 1st attempt, delish! A very buttery sauce base, plump little fillings, served fresh to the table. 2nd attempt, a disappointment. Served with crusty dried edges, nearly sauce free making it very bland. All neighbouring tables were served 'the IG way' with a performative table side butter service and we inquired with our server (a woman, slightly dismissive & irritated, serving a section of the back wall booths) and she clarified that the diner has to request extra butter served for the service, and swiftly left without further explanation. This is not noted on the menu, nor was it mentioned to us by our server upon ordering. Mussels - great sharing dish, portion & serve style. Very saucy and delish with the brioche soaking up the sauce. Mussels pictured from 2 visits included, both dishes look irrelevant to each other. Consistency is obviously a problem here. Halibut - regular menu item (thankful, unlike the duck breast), get the halibut for some kind of stability. Beautiful presentation, incredibly fresh halibut steak. NY Strip steak - classic steak & frites. Frog legs - not the first time having frog legs (pretty pan-Asian protein choice) served deep fried with a sweet sauce equivalent to Korean yangneom chicken, though not meaty enough. Beef tartare - housemade chips were nice, I actually liked the tartare as the drizzle of sauce toned down the gaminess of raw meats. Crab dip w/ spiced Madeline - the Madelines were solid, but the crab is occasionally too fishy to taste (1st attempt) and completely fine on another (2nd attempt). The Experience: A hit or miss? In my opinion in the scene of boutique-y dining experiences, good service anchors down the fort beyond the physical consumables. On any special occasion, like my birthday, to have bad service is literally a cherry on top for reasons to never come back - we didn't even want to bother with another round of drinks, or even do dessert to bear with our sever any longer. Beyond a prettyyy dismissive response to our inquiries, we did start the evening with over recommendations, approx. 2-3 dish each, where the neighbouring table of the same party size was only recommended 1-2 dishes a head, questionable. Perhaps I'd swing in for walk-in drinks, but no more 1-month out reservations, and definitely unnecessary to book for food quality as inconsistent as I've experienced.

June on Cambie is a beautiful new addition to Vancouver's dining scene--elevated food, romantic vibe, and a lot of promise. We came here for a date night and were really impressed with the atmosphere--warm, stylish, and perfect for a cozy evening out. Highlights included the crab appetizer and tomato salad, both fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully prepared. The scallops were incredibly juicy and flavorful, and the pasta (their signature dish) was outstanding--definitely a must-order. We also tried two mocktails, which were both refreshing and well balanced. There are still a few kinks the restaurant seems to be working out. We were initially seated at the wrong table (a four-top for just the two of us), and had to return to the reception to be reseated. One of the appetizers arrived before our salad, and at one point, a server mistakenly brought our dish to another table. Service overall was friendly but could be more coordinated. As for the food, the burger was a bit too salty for my taste and could have used more plating finesse. The chocolate dessert was rich and satisfying, but would benefit from a finishing touch--perhaps a twist of orange peel or a touch of gold to elevate the presentation. Despite a few minor hiccups, June is clearly aiming high. It's a new spot with real culinary talent, and with a bit more polish, it could easily become one of Vancouver's top dining destinations. We'll definitely be back.

Very surprisingly satisfied. June punches all the notes for a fine dining yet hip venue. Decor is modern with lots of energy. We started with beef tartare, crab dip and frog legs - enjoyed all especially the Tartare - an interesting take where it is accompanied by house made potato chips! The mussels were awesome and so fresh. It was pre-shucked in half shells. Don't skip dessert particularly the crème caramel and house made ice cream. The white pine negroni made with Akvavit was so enjoyable - a sophisticated west coast sipping concoction indeed. Great date night location if you want to impress with your culinary coolness. I really want to come back!

We came for a birthday celebration on a Saturday. Service was mediocre and food was a little bit of a let down Drinks: Most of their drinks are prebatched so are harder to customize. They are infused ahead of time to give it more flavour Noisette Manhattan (23) - a good solid drink. If you like strong drinks this is a good one. The brown butter whisky makes this drink delicious Genmaicha clover club (18) - loved the faint genmaicha flavour at the end Blue fizz (19) - good for people who don't love the flavour of alcohol. On the sweeter side Verdita Colada (22) - like the creaminess of this drink with the contrast of the chilli oil Burnt Gibson (mini) (10) - a bit too strong and dry for me Onto the food... Crab dip (28) - I liked the spiced Madeleines in this dish. Gave it a little punch. The crab wasnt too seafoody and contrasted well with the avocado. Reminded me a little of a deconstructed California roll Beef tartare (22) - the potato chips had a hint of old oil flavour but it didn't influence the dish too much. They were nice and crispy. Good amount of tartare to chips. I think there was a bit too much pickle to the amount of beef. Would be better if we were instructed to mix the tartare beforehand so that you aren't getting huge amounts of sourness in some mouthfuls. Felt like the peppered egg yolk didn't add much to this dish Frog legs (16) (usually comes with 3) - they reminded me a lot of yangnyeom Korean fried chicken which is like a sweet and spicy flavour. The frog legs were juicy. I feel like the lime mignonette was a bit much. A bit overly sweet for me Pasta for Rachel (36) - was a disappointment. I think we were most hyped for this dish. To our disappointment this dish didn't exceed expectations. The pasta (especially the side pieces) was dry. It tasted EXACTLY like a PEROGI. The beirre d'isigny was very faint. Almost nonexistent. We were advised that it probably melted before it got to the table. Our server explained that some people want extra on theirs which is why other tables get the table service. I note that this isn't explained on the menu (but it is on their Instagram - I guess social media does run the world now). HOT TIP. Ask for EXTRA butter for your pasta and you will get tableside butter service. Without the extra butter the whole dish was just dry and we were forced to scrap up whatever sauce we could find on it to add that extra flavour (if you compare other photos with mine, the amount of sauce will look very inconsistent in each which definitely impacts the flavour profile) Halibut (40) - one of the better dishes on the night. Very soft and perfectly cooked. Loved the delicate sauce Special of the day asparagus salad (22) - this was one of the specials of the day. Quail egg was well cooked. I hated the size of the asparagus (chopped into tiny pieces) and the sauce coating the asparagus totally masked the flavour of it. Dish was refreshing but shouldn't be marketed as an asparagus dish. It also looks like a side salad when compared to the rest of the dishes. Maybe should have been served with the initial dishes instead NY steak with fries (65) - fries were crispy and delicious. The steak was also tender and well cooked Overall I felt like the service here was mediocre. The explanation for some of the dishes were lacking. The overall noise of the restaurant was also on the louder side so if you are looking for a quiet place this is not it. They also have some larger tables which is good. The food was okay but nothing that I would come back for. The birthday girl at the table had been to the restaurant before and commented that the dishes were inconsistent with the quality received on the initial visit which prompts me to believe that food can be inconsistent. Maybe your visit will be better than ours.I did enjoy some of their drinks so I would come back to try those. And again. Reminder to order the extra butter IF you are getting the pasta

-good service! They had the Hy's waiter fit on LOL - bar and lighting installed in the centre of the restaurant was v cool and vibey but based on other people's vids I definitely imagined something abit different LOL kinda didn't meet the expectations I created in my head loved the rounded windows though - great cocktails (I only order mocktails if I do choose to get a drink & the spicy Daisy was really good (calamansi, honey + smtng else) - must orders: Pasta for Rachel, Steak frites, Mussels, crab dip - good but not must order: tartare, brioche buns, frog legs (although I was obsessed with honey lime mignonette -good desserts! Get the creamsicle ice cream French influenced West coast food so expect HEAVVYYYY butter across the mains. So good cause it's special butter from Normandy that's apparently very expensive LOL i don't think you really need to ask for MORE butter though cause it was a lot

What's the hype ??? New place , nice and cozy , sounds a little too loud that you have to yell at the person in front of you . Steaks and burger are way too salty . We came in at 6 , I know it's busy on a Saturday , but the Wait time is ridiculous . Our server is nice , but took a bit of time to get her attention when needed . A blazer as their uniform , NOPE!

TL;DR: Multiple bugs in our salad, dismissive service, and poor handling of the situation. Our duck dish came with fries and salad. After a few bites, I spotted a live bug on the cucumber. The waiter brushed it off, saying it likely flew in. Checking further, we found two more dead bugs in other salads. The manager offered desserts or a partial discount--$20 off a $70 dish. When we pointed out that comping the dish should be standard for a high-end restaurant, she argued "you enjoyed the protein." Only after pushing did they fully comp it.

4.5 rounded up! Great food, service, and ambiance. Standouts were the crab dip and June burger. The burger was juicy and perfectly balanced -- easily one of the best burgers I've had. The Paris tartare was refreshing and the Haidacore tuna was seasoned well with a citrusy flavor. The one thing I didn't really care for was the pasta; it was quite buttery and tasted like mashed potatoes wrapped in ravioli. I was a bit underwhelmed considering it was one of the pricier menu items. Regardless, all of the dishes were well executed. 10/10 would recommend and come back!

Food quite innovative and all dishes were good except steak tartare a little too salty for our taste. Checked out both main floor dining room and downstairs. Music is really quite loud and lively.

10/10 experience all around. From the service, to the ambiance, to the incredible food. We tried 6 dishes and loved every single one. The mussels and pasta for Rachel were the crowd faves and the dish that surprised us with its juiciness and flavour was the June Burger! All the drinks were also delicious - no surprise there as this restaurant is the same group as Keefer Bar. It's pretty difficult to get a reso though so if you can get one, highly recommend!

We went to June, as it was the latest "hot" restaurant. The space has a nice deco and the servers are the typical yuppy type. Sadly, we found the food was just OK, not worthy of second try. We believe there are so many other interesting restaurants out there that serve excellent food without the hype. However, we did enjoy the bar in the basement. That, we will return.

Vancouver needs more places like JUNE! We live in the hood and we've been eyeing June since we saw a new lease had gone into this building. We got a reso for four last night (Friday) which also happened to be the soft launch June's underground bar, Lala. The vibes immediately cool when you step through the curtains and moody and the decor is awesome. The bar is striking and I love the outfits that everyone wears! The service is wonderful, our waiter joked lots with us and gave us his "fave" dishes! We ordered the following and here's how I'd rate them: Crab dip - LOVED want to eat a mound of it to myself. Paris Tartare - FRESH and a lovely bite of tuna Brioche - perfect for slopping up sauces Mussels - LOVED, insanely great sauce comes with. I love the textures on these too as they have little crispy garnish Frogs Legs - A MUST, no notes just so great. I simply want more! Pasta for Rachel - the famous pasta sheet, while I loved the look and was anticipating this dish, I wanted a slightly more flavourful filling, maybe sharper cheese. Pasta was beautiful tho and cooked perfectly. Crème Caramel - GORG, loved the crispy topper. Drinks wise you need to have the Veridita Colada - best drink I had. I also had the Genmaicha Clover Club which too was pretty and delish. Shoutout to Joshua who welcomed us to June and made our experience even better! Once we finished dinner we headed down to Lala and caught a glimpse of the "ice room" yes they have a room for ICE! Lala is a vinyl bar and the vibes are so right! The design is really pretty too with velvet stools and seating with a curved and sexy ceiling. The bartender Riley was great. He made excellent cocktails. A guy is spinning records the whole time and the room is buzzing. I can't wait to go back to June and Lala on the reg and try the whole menu! I'm so thrilled this spot opened. As we were leaving we also saw fellow Will and Grave Canadian, Erik McCormack waiting for a seat! Well done June! So stoked to have you in the hood.

Not only was the service exceptional, but the food was unreal. The scallops were perfectly seared, with a delicious sauce that tied it all together, and the ravioli tasted like cacio e pepe but in ravioli form -- absolutely divine. Paired with a red wine the bartender chose for me (thank you, Elliot!), it was perfection. I ended the night downstairs at the speakeasy, Lala, with a Naked & Famous (a mezcal drink) -- perfectly chilled and beautifully balanced. Finished it all off with the soft serve (I swirled the two flavors and omg I could not stop eating it). 10/10, highly recommend. Thank you to the entire staff for being so kind to a girl just wining and dining solo.

Lucius made my night! Such a great guy! Will be coming back just to see him! vibes were amazing such a cute place for a few drinks!

Amazing. I came here for the first time and I will be back. The cocktail, the wine, the food was amazing. I enjoyed the the pasta and the bread, the dishes were yum!

honestly, I loved everything except for the suits that the servers were wearing. They were I'll fitting and they didn't match the vibe.
