Restaurant Porn is a regular column of daydreams presented as a means to introduce Vancouver diners and designers to concepts, looks, and fully-formed ideas that they might draw an inkling of inspiration from. We do our best to pair the foreign rooms with local addresses so as to let everyone in on the daydream.

(via) Located inside Munich’s stunning, edict-protected New Maxburg – a 1957 Modernist building designed by the Swiss aesthetes at Build Inc. Architects to replace a 16th-century castle destroyed in World War II – Herzog Bar & Restaurant is a timeless (if Deco-leaning) stunner that exudes a wholly unique, understated style. The motif that really stands out for us are the brass veins that unsubtly course through the dining room and bar, along the floor, on the walls, across the ceilings, through the fixings, and even upon the windows. If it could go anywhere we wanted, we’d happily install a version of Herzog to replace the large chain pub (a design non-sequitur if ever there was one) at the foot of Vancouver’s iconic Marine Building in the heart of the financial district at 355 Burrard Street.
