About the restaurant

Our food consists of thoughtfully prepared recipes that will take you on a culinary journey along the ancient Silk route.

As evening descends upon the vibrant city of Vancouver, Chai Lounge comes to life like the courts of the eastern Raja's. Imagine a warm, dreamy and visually arresting venue where global sounds cascade the room over the din of lively conversations. Spicy scents waft from the kitchen followed by an abundance of delicious trans-himalayan cuisine.

Chai Lounge is our landmark location. There is no place like it in Vancouver,and visitors from near and far marvel at the ornate carpets, ceiling mandala's, and the nature-inspired furnishings.
The large central stage features a rotating line-up of world class musicians and dancers.

About the restaurant

The Acorn, a MICHELIN Recommended and award-winning restaurant, brings a fresh, modern approach to vegetable-forward dining in the heart of Vancouver’s Main Street. Known for its creative, locavore-driven menu, The Acorn delivers an unforgettable dining experience using locally sourced, peak-season ingredients. With options for vegans, vegetarians, and gluten-free diners, even the most dedicated carnivores leave satisfied.

Our commitment to sustainability runs deep. In our zero-waste kitchen and bar, every part of the ingredient shines—from the skins and stems to pits and peels—transformed into inventive dishes and drinks. We’re proud of our close relationships with local organic farmers, foragers, winemakers, and distillers, ensuring that 99% of what you enjoy on the plate (and sometimes the plate itself!) is grown, harvested, or crafted right here in BC and Western Canada. Signature cocktails shine while local wines showcase the harmony of Terroir to plate.

FANTASTIC FOOD!! Was a bit slow to get the food, but the server was super pleasant, and the food was PERFECT. I usually eat meat, but had a few vegetarians in the group, so picked this and figured I'd be ok, but it was BETTER than OK. Was some of the best food I have ever eaten. Had the butter chkn. The vegetarians with us were equally delighted. Will go again!

We ordered the full course chef’s choice. Every dish was interesting and delicious. A 2 and a half hour dining experience. Staff was informative, attentive and did not rush us through the many dishes.

Fabulous gluten free options. Perfect for a vegetarian. Came for lunch on a Tuesday to this casual, unpretentious spot where it was quiet enough to have a conversation and linger... Truth be told, we sat, ate, & got caught up for two hours! We started with a PINEAPPLE PEACH SODA & a YUZU GINGER SODA -- the latter was so tasty, & not too sweet. Noticed the cocktails look fun-creative & are reasonably priced. We shared the SWEET-CHILI CAULIFLOWER appetizer - fantastic. Then I enjoyed a generously portioned BEET SALAD & my guest had the SOUTHERN FRIED CHICK’UN BURGER (quote: "Delicious"). We convinced each other to order dessert, & no regrets: The LEMON TART was outstanding, & I'm pretty sure I saw the ROCKY ROAD GANACHE TART disappear before my eyes. I'd been here just once before and it was just okay (14 months ago & I found my food too salty) but this time everything was tasty and perfectly prepared. Friendly service, too. Def plan to return!
