Burdock & Co Returns to Its Neighbourhood Roots with New Walk-In Bar Menu

The Goods from Burdock & Co

Vancouver, BC | Michelin-starred Burdock & Co returns to its neighbourhood roots with a new à la carte bar menu, offering a more casual way to experience one of Vancouver’s most acclaimed restaurants.

The bar menu features some of chef-owner Andrea Carlson’s personal favourites alongside seasonal riffs on dishes that have been much-loved since Burdock opened in 2013. Drop in for the ever-popular buttermilk fried chicken, chilled sesame udon and moreish ramen fries. Or linger longer with a glass of small-batch, terroir-driven wine selected by wine director Maisie Ryan.

Summer specials include fig-sap ricotta with Lillooet honey and sourdough toast, celebration salad with lemon verbena vinaigrette and uni gelato sandwich on a nori biscuit.

Burdock opened as a neighbourhood restaurant built around shared plates. During the pandemic, it evolved into a tasting-menu format, allowing Carlson’s cooking to become even more ambitious and deeply expressive. The new bar menu brings back the ease of the early days without sacrificing the creativity and exacting standards of Burdock’s moon menus.

Available exclusively at the bar on a walk-in basis, the new à la carte menu offers a relaxed, spontaneous way to enjoy some of the city’s finest dining as part of a regular night out.

Get Back to the Garden

That same casual spirit will be spilling onto the Burdock & Co patio with a Bar Gobo takeover every other Sunday this summer.

Burdock’s lush street-side garden will transform into a smoking-hot yakitori party, with DJs from sister restaurant Bar Gobo spinning vinyl among the flowers and greenery.

Swing by as chef Kyumin Kim fires up the grill for skewers of mochi, cheese and assorted meats, while low-intervention, farmer-grown wines flow by the glass and bottle.

GOBO IN THE GARDEN
