AnnaLena

Vancouver, Canada

Chef Michael Robbins injected a subtle sense of quirkiness into this Kitsilano neighbourhood gem. The contemporary restaurant appears subtly edgy and endlessly stylish on the surface, but if you look closely enough you’ll find cheeky moments that challenge the fine-dining status quo buried underneath the gloss (books of Banksy art line the shelves alongside pop culture figurines, for example). Concise, seasonal tasting menus devised by Robbins and team are offered for short windows of time to capture the season at its height of deliciousness. Expect dynamic small plates—often including seafood thanks to the restaurant’s proximity to the ocean—with eye-catching pops of colour that spark delight and awe. Plus, an elevated cocktail program offers an alternative to wine pairings for the adventurous visitor.
