    Zarak is our favourite restaurant in Vancouver, so we always know we’re in for a treat when we go. This time, we changed it up and went for brunch (our first time). The food was amazing, the portions were generous, and the service was great!

    The tasting menu was a wise and no doubt popular choice. You get to choose your favourite dish in each category on the menu, and can then order new or repeat choices on the next round. All for a reasonable fixed price. The variety and sumptuous flavours were a delight, made all the more enjoyable by the live piano and guitar music. And the volume level was perfect, enabling easy conversation with table companions. Good service, too! I'll be going back many times.
