About Folke

To bring people together – whole communities, friends and neighbours. Folke is a vegetable-focused restaurant that strives to highlight local farms and the beautiful produce that they provide us with. Our ever-changing menu is composed of a variety of small plates for a shared dining experience. We also offer a tasting menu. On our beverage menu, guests will find a selection of unique beers, wines and cider that are local to BC. We also offer a selection of cocktails and non-alcoholic cocktails that are crafted with local spirits along with housemade sodas.

Guests are welcome to have a seat at the bar that overlooks an open kitchen for an immersive dining experience. Our chefs will be interacting with guests tableside to be able to speak to the dishes and how they were prepared.

At Folke, we offer a hospitality-included style of service. What this means is that we have a hospitality included pricing model that includes tipping. We aim to create a sustainable model for work and pay for our team.

Awards & Accolades

“Friends Colin Uyeda and Pricilla Deo have brought bright, delicious plant-based fare to Kitsilano with Folke. A wall of wine greets guests at the entrance to this small-but-sophisticated spot where deep blue walls are adorned with original seaweed pressings and dried grasses complement the tranquil, coastal ambience. The fully open kitchen turns out impressive items. Don’t skip the irresistible bread served with kale “butter” sprinkled with sesame seeds. A main dish of tender yet crunchy cabbage resting in a silky mole made from potatoes has terrifically tangy and smoky notes.

“In addition to the selection on display, the Folke team features a small selection of natural wine and locally produced ciders, as well as non-alcoholic libations to pair with your meal.” — MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View


Folke in Vancouver takes the number seven spot on the Top 10 list of Canada’s Best New Restaurants 2023.
