Chambar

Very fine food. The Waygu carpaccio was rich, melted in your mouth, and absolutely delicious. The presentation of the food was very artful. The pea tips and kabocha squash were nice veggies to go with the tuna. The chocolate lava cake was decadent, warm, and melty. The yogurt ice cream was unique. Cheeses were tasty. A very enjoyable dinner experience and food adventure.

we’ve been going to chambar for a while now, and it’s one of those places that just feels locked in. from the moment we walk in, there’s a sense that everything is intentional, nothing rushed, nothing sloppy. they run a tight ship, and it shows in every detail, down to their menus and even the cloth napkins. there’s a level of care that feels deliberate, like a lot of thought has gone into how every part of the experience comes together. the menu is always well balanced, colourful, fresh, and genuinely healthy without sacrificing flavour. everything feels composed with purpose, not just for taste but for how it all fits together on the plate. even their staff meal mondays carry that same thoughtfulness, which says a lot about their standards. after more than two decades in the city, chambar isn’t just a restaurant, it’s part of the fabric here. they’ve helped shape the local dining scene, trained people who’ve gone on to do great things, and built a reputation that carries real weight in the industry. being a pillar in the community isn’t just about longevity, it’s about hard work, long hours, consistency, showing up, and maintaining a level of care people can count on. chambar does that, quietly and confidently. why it’s not recognized as a michelin recommended is beyond me.

Chambar was a second choice after we didn't want to wait in a long line up for brunch last weekend, and knowing now I'm so glad we went here instead. The service is unmatched. Our server (more like a food sommelier) Scott, was absolutely on point. He romanticized everything on the menu, from the apple smoked bacon to the Belgian waffles and nothing disappointed. Top notch. The drinks and food were unbelievablably amazing and we were celebrating my bachelorette, so Scott hooked it up for up with some Lemoncello appertivos and sweet treats at the end. Our whole group was impressed. Thank you so much Chambar for an amazing experience and making my bachelorette so special!

We came to try their $28 Staff Meal hosted every Monday after 5pm and it did not disappoint! The menu changes every week and they post it on their website ahead of time. I loved how seating was communal as it really encouraged connecting with those sitting next to you. We met so many friendly people throughout our meal! Highly recommend checking them out for an affordable, creative, delicious and heart warming meal. I also love how the chefs’ creativity really shines through the food and you get to try items they don’t usually serve on the menu. Can’t wait to be back to try more!

I’d heard a lot about Chambar over the years and finally made it in for brunch on a recent Vancouver visit. The place was buzzing, packed tables, that satisfying hum of a busy restaurant on a weekend morning. The Belgian angle on brunch is a nice change of pace, and the room has a great atmosphere that makes you want to linger over your coffee. Service was friendly and they clearly cared, but with the place that full, things moved slowly. No one seemed stressed about it though, it’s that kind of spot where you just settle in and go with the flow. The food was genuinely good, well-prepared and satisfying, though I’ll be honest, nothing made me put my fork down in amazement. A solid, enjoyable meal, just not a life-changing one. I’d go back, but I’d clear my afternoon first.
