True to our Region True to the Seasons

Recognized as the “jewel in Vancouver’s culinary crown,” West’s outstanding contemporary regional cuisine and seamless service has garnered much critical acclaim, including a prestigious four star rating by Mobil Travel Guide.

Pristine local ingredients are sourced by Executive Chef Warren Geraghty to deliver superbly conceived dishes offering modern interpretations of classics. Pastry Chef Rhonda Viani conjures equally compelling desserts. Exuding energy and action, the kitchen offers two ‘chef’s tables’ that render an up–close culinary theatre experience.

Maitre ‘D, Brian Hopkins gracefully choreographs West’s prized service team in the elegant dining room highlighted by a magnificent, temperature-controlled wall of wine. West’s extensive wine collection is an ever-evolving list of acclaimed Old World producers, rare finds and exciting New World vintners. At the gleaming cherrywood bar, martinis and cocktails are composed of pressed-to-order juices, fresh herbs and creative infusions by award-winning mixologist David Wolowidnyk.

West is located in Vancouver’s chic South Granville neighborhood (just five minutes from the downtown core).
