Vancouver, BC | “It was twenty years ago today, Sgt.

Bishop’s Restaurant first opened its doors to the public 25 years ago last month (December 14, 1985) and it is celebrating the occasion with a special prix fixe menu that pays homage to its first menu so many years ago.

Check Out “The Bishop’s Garden” Show At The Winsor Gallery

New Alan Wood show features works inspired by the haven of restaurateur John Bishop's back garden
News from Scout supporter Bishop’s
Vancouver, BC | From May 27 to June 19, South Granville’s Winsor Gallery (3025 Granville Street) plays host to a show by famed artist Alan Wood. The Bishop’s Garden – presents a new series of wood relief sculptures, collage and watercolours, based on the haven found in a close friend’s garden. That close friend is restaurateur John Bishop and that garden is the one found in the back of Mr. Bishop’s Point Grey home.
” It seems like I’ve known Alan for ever,” says Mr. Bishop. “In the early days, my wife Theresa and I would save up to buy his work. In turn, Alan and his wife Flora started coming to the restaurant and the friendship grew over the years.”
“When Flora passed away five years ago, I started to drop by John and Theresa’s home. They were always so welcoming and kind. I’d come and sit in the back garden – it became my refuge. One evening, I came for dinner. John and his son David had arranged eight of my pieces around the garden illuminated by candlelight. It was magic. That gave me the idea to try to capture and interpret the calm and happiness I have found there. This show is the result,” says Mr. Wood. “I named the series The Bishop’s Garden because I want to honour the role played by everyone in the Bishop family in creating this special space.” Read more

(VANCOUVER) It’s a proven medical fact that sipping a moderate amount of red wine is good for your heart – it helps to reduce the amount of ‘bad cholesterol.’ The French have known for centuries that red wine is good for you – they aren’t concerned about ‘physical health’ per se, they are talking about being good for you, good for your life. A little wine promotes conviviality amongst friends and strangers, complements the flavours of food, encourages people to really enjoy a meal, causes you relax and has even been known to inspire poetry. Yes, a little wine is good for your ‘heart’ in all the senses of that word. Read more

I had an outstanding meal at Bishop’s with some friends and colleagues the other night. This was the second in the restaurant’s summer series of Producer’s Dinners, and I was accordingly very keen to see what the kitchen would do with their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) box full of mysterious, freshly-harvested local ingredients sourced from farms in the city and Aldergrove. Special guests were the producers themselves, David Catzell of Fraser Common Farm and Ward Teulon from City Farm Boy. Read more
Why Is It That John Bishop Never Opened A Second Restaurant?
May 5, 2009
by Sean Sherwood - When I was a kid, romancing the foolish notion to one day open my own restaurant, I spent a lot of thought on who would be the best to learn from. At the time, I’d washed some dishes, bussed some tables, cooked and served. It was a simple craft that demanded hard work, personality, and a strong enough liver to survive a late night game of ‘I never’. Damn, I miss those days sometimes. If you don’t know the game, don’t ask, but rest assured it was the only way a young punk like me was going to see some alcohol induced random nudity. Either way, the restaurant business seemed simple, honest and completely straightforward. Read more
