Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in False Creek

Fantastic service. Arrived as the restaurant was opening and everything was clean and organized. A great experience!

I can’t tell you much I appreciate that you have both. Kids menu and a plant based section on your menu! It’s so nice to find a modern, yet casual, restaurant that can accommodate the needs of my whole family. I also really appreciate that you have tofu for your plant based diners, because a lot of places that have vegan options only serve you vegetables, and vegans want/need/deserve protein, too!! So happy with our experience at tap & barrel!!

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a business lunch at Joe Fortes, and I must say, the service provided by Tim and Heidi was truly exceptional. From the moment we were seated, both Tim and Heidi were attentive, professional, and ensured that every detail was handled seamlessly. Tim’s knowledge of the menu and wine list was impressive, offering thoughtful recommendations that perfectly complemented our meal. Heidi’s warm and personable demeanor created a welcoming atmosphere, making our guests feel comfortable and well cared for. Together, they worked in perfect harmony, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. The food, as always, was outstanding, but it was the exemplary service from Tim and Heidi that elevated the experience to another level. Their professionalism and genuine hospitality reflect the high standards that Joe Fortes is known for. I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant for any occasion and will certainly request Tim and Heidi on my next visit. Thank you for making our business lunch a memorable success!

We had a fantastic experience thanks to our wonderful server Ollie! He was super hospitabile and genuinely friendly. Our orders were accurate and he was accommodating when we had to rush our bills so we could make it to our event on time. Thank you Ollie!

We really enjoyed our meal again. Excellent server. Nice amd warm on a rainy cold day. Noise level was quiet so we could talk easily to each other. Delicious food and wine. Love the decor. It is a warm and inviting space. Highly recommend.
