"Situated in the heart of Kitsilano, this Michelin-starred restaurant features a tasting menu from Vancouver-born chef Mike Robbins (who named the venue after both of his grandmothers). Diners flock here for the fun as much as the fine dining—the space is peppered with childhood collectibles and street art-inspired pieces. The tasting menu ($144) comprises six courses and changes with the seasons, featuring elevated takes on familiar flavors (think fried chicken with truffle or salted caramel s’mores). Try the wine pairing ($84) or peruse the bottle and by the glass selection, a small but mighty lineup spotlighting independent producers (most of which are organic). But first, a drink from the bar, where the focus stays on six signature, nostalgia-laced drinks." - Guy Saddy, Nicole Schnitzler
