Chambar

Lovely restaurant with top notch service. I have been to Chambar before, but it was year ago at a neighbouring location. I didn't recognize it and found out they moved about 6 years ago. I love the ambiance with the brick walls, wood floors, and wood tables. They have cozy booths in the back and dim lighting with candles all throughout the restaurant. This Belgian restaurant has a great Belgian beer list plus your usual suspects. They have a fairly extensive wine list as well and an on site Sommelier if you want assistance choosing a bottle. The menu is small, but fairly diverse, with duck, ribs, fish, mussles ect...
Not a lot of appitizers and I'd to see them expand a bit on that.
We enjoyed a wonderful mixed Charcuterie board with three meats and three cheese. There was this amazing cherry "jam" on the board that was sooooo insanely good. It also came with crackers and grapes; all around enjoyable board. I also tried their mussels with Smokey bacon. It was quite good, but not really that Smokey tasting. It came with pomme grits as a side, but I ordered their green salad instead. The salad was a nice mix of Kale, green and purple Lettuce. Very simple with not much else in it and a mustard vinaigrette that I didn't love, but I'm not a big mustard vinaigrette fan to begin with. We enjoyed a lovely bottle of red wine, Bodega something, a wonderful full bodied earthy wine. My most important mention for Chambar was the service. Our server and all of the staff were fantastic. My wine was never empty, neither was my water glass. Everything was quick with a great team of Expediters. Our server was also helpful with suggestions for Cocktails and even offered me their iPad to look at the menu when my phone wouldn't scan the barcode on the table. Chambar would make a great special occasion or romantic date venue or just come here for the Belgian style food with some of the best service in town.

Really outstanding restaurant. We walked in without a reservation and got lucky with a table. They gave us booth seating, which was great for our toddler moving around a ton. The wait staff was so patient with him.... being a toddler in a nice restaurant. Never once did I feel like he was bothering them, even though I know he was! We felt so welcome.

We got the tasting menu and it included three courses each. Loved every bite of what we ate! The entrees blew us away with how tender the meats were. The dessert was simply amazing. We also got an entree for our toddler, which the manager came along and comped for us, after coming to meet us, check on us, and learn that we were visiting. He also offered both of us complimentary mocktails! The service (I wish I remembered his name!) was too kind and gracious. He was the highlight of our experience there.

If you are looking for something unique to have in Vancouver, in a beautiful and classy setting, I recommend Chambar! You will not be disappointed.

We made reservations for this restaurant for Brunch and were quickly seated when we arrived.

This restaurant had really nice aesthetics, but I expected a little more from the food. I think the presentation was nice but the food was just ok. It didn't really stand out to me. I don't know how to explain it but it just seemed to lack something in its food and I can't pinpoint what it is...

This is some of the best food and service you'll have anywhere. 5 star service and taste at 3 star prices. Everything we ordered was bold and unapologetic in flavor. Every small bite can have so many different textures and pockets of contrast. I particularly enjoyed the lamb tangine.

A beautiful awesome day amazing people of the world! This morning we're at it again for another brunch episode during our "eff around and find out" adventures in different cities around the world.

Today we find ourselves at Chambar in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada. Why here?? Because we're hungry and we wanna give it this place a go at it.

First up is the Shakshuka which was amazing, I specially loved the lentils with the fried halloumi. Put that with the stew on the pita chips and stick it all in your mouth. Amazing!

Then there's the La Saucisse, which literally means "The Sausage" en frances. It's got cornbread, eggs, and watercress. But the star of the show is that chimichurri. I could eat that with a spoon. It's that good.

Anyway, if you like discovering new places to smash. Hit that follow on my profile. Share this review with a smash mode buddy and thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!

I love you!

Beautiful place! You walk in and they have a closet for you to hang your coats. We were able to get a last minute reservation and were taken downstairs to our table. My food wasn't what I expected. My lentils were delicious but the rest of it was so so. A little salty, the cast iron pan gave my food a weird after taste and my waffle was hard and not warm. My bf enjoyed his sandwich and i should've ordered the same thing. My macchiato was perfect and I drank it so quick I didn't take a picture. There is a parking garage and plenty of street parking nearby. Our server was always around when we needed him and he was fabulous.

Phenomenal cuisine and craft cocktails- everything we ate and drank was delicious! What sets Chambar apart is the customer service and knowledge of the staff.
They were extremely kind and helped to ensure our experience was as positive as it could be, while also offering very practical recommendations to visit in the area. Highly recommend!

We came to Chambar as a party of four on Saturday night. We had an 8:45 reservation-it was not too busy but still lively. Their kitchens close at 10:00 PM, so as long as you know what you want to order for an appetizer or dinner going in, you are good!

My cocktail of choice this evening was the Quiet Coyote. Despite the mild sounding name, this cocktail packs a punch! I love the combination of mezcal, rum, lime and ginger here. This was a fizzy and light surprise!

Our table split two appetizers:

Bastilla de Lapin- this was savory rabbit wrapped in phyllo. The sauce it came in was smoky without being overpowering. The rabbit had the consistency of pulled pork. It was wonderful!

Our go to appetizer is the foie de canard "Villa Lorraine"-we love the French toast like bread that comes with the side of iced cranberry. This plus the balsamic drizzled fois gras is excellent.

For my entree, I enjoyed the Tajine d'Aziz a l'Agneau. I love this dish so much. I know I have reviewed it before. But I love it-the lamb falls right off the bone, and the figs bring together the cream, harissa, couscous, and the bok choy.

Chambar has an excellent rotation of old favorites and new dishes. They are a pleasure to return to time and time again. They are consistently excellent.

A classy brunch spot in Gastown with unique brunch menu options! They have a large interior which allows for a bigger group. Pro tip: if you go there after 1pm on a weekend, you will most likely get a table even though you don't have a reservation. If you go earlier on a weekend without a reservation, be prepared for a long wait!

Luckily, we didn't have to wait either and were seated right away. For drinks, we got their DIY bottle of mimosa which was good for 6 people, the bubbly definitely gave us a kick.

The last time I came I had ordered their shakshuka which I loved, it came with fried halloumi and the creamy tomato shakshuka. However, this time I decided to mix it up and get another thing from their menu so I got their Rôti de Boeuf. It was a bit too "meaty" for me and I found it very bland. I told the staff that I didn't like it as much and if I could order something else. The staff were super nice about it, they replaced my food with the shakshuka and did not charge for it!

5/5 for customer service as well as their shakshuka :)

Both hostess are unprofessional.

I dined in 7/5 @ 6pm this evening.

I asked to be seated in the patio and in the shade and received nothing but roadblocks by both girls.

The blonde one refused to walk me to the patio unless I stepped in the doorway. I mentioned, I did not want to put my mask on so I wanted to wait outside until she was ready.

Once the brown hair girl walked me to my table, I requested for a table in the shade. She did not offer one, though there was one available at the other end.

Restaurants are a hospitality business and this business makes it impossible to enjoy.

Our medium rare steak came out rare. We asked to have it cooked a 2nd time which I think did not happen. The steak was still rare.

I do not intend to be back.

Brunch was very good here. Get here at 9. It's not busy by that point. The cornbread with creme fraiche was surprisingly good and crispy. Everyone enjoyed their food and the ambience. By 10 it was quite loud and busy and it changed a little.

Nice treat here.
