Central Restaurants - Vancouver Bentall

“ngl they actually had a real gluten-free menu with actual options not just salad - the gf pasta with mushroom cream sauce was totally indistinguishable from regular pasta and delicous”

“actually they served the bread basket automatically even though they have gf options and seemed surprised when i mentioned my restrictions”

“this place absolutely nails weekend brunch - their eggs Benedict came with the most perfectly poached eggs ive seen in Vancouver and the hollandaise was rich without being heavy”

“coffee was surprisingly weak for such an upscale spot like it had been sitting in teh pot too long instead of freshly brewed”

“seriously love how tehy source locally adn list the farms right on the menu - organic vegetables were clearly fresh and portion sizes felt reasonable not like typical resturant excess dead serious”

“the salmon while beautifully presented was slightly overcooked and lost some of those healthy omega oils i was hoping for from premium fish”

“the bar seating is perfect for solo dining - great VIEW of the kitchen and the bartender actually knew about both cocktails and food pairings”

“actually teh music was SO LOUD i had to lean in to hear the servers specials which felt more like a club than a restaurant”

“teh nashville hot chicken sandwich here actually delivered real heat - not just sauce dumped on top but a proper spice blend that built layers of flavor with the burn”

“lowkey the sweet potato fries were barely warm when they arrived which killed the whole contrast thing between hot chicken and crispy sides meh”

“like tehir daily seafood special had local spot prawns so sweet and delicate they barely needed the light lemon butter sauce - the kind of pristine Pacific Northwest shellfish that justifies the premium pricing just saying”

“oyster selection was disappointingly small for a high-end place only three varieties and no harvest dates or origin info”

“legit finaally a fine dining restaraunt that takes gluten-free seriously - tehy have a separate prep area and staff could confidently answer detailed questions about cross-contamination cant complain”

“ngl the gluten-free bread substitute was dense and flavorless clearly an afterthot compared to the care they put into the main dishes”
