Description: Brix Restaurant and Wine Bar was one of the first restaurants in the development of Vancouver’s historic Yaletown quarter as a destination for casual fine dining. Opening in April 1999 in a turn-of-the-century heritage building on Homer Street it quickly became known for its innovative food, an extensive, well priced wine list, and its warm and inviting atmosphere amid the high-beamed ceilings and original exposed-brick walls. A unique glass covered key hole courtyard is one of the city's top restaurant patios and is the only Yaletown outdoor dining space opened past 11pm. An elegant dinner features a wide range of seafood, game, meat and poultry dishes and close proximity to the theatre district makes the light early dining menu a perfect pairing. Brix is also a favourite for the late-night crowd, too, offering great late-night dining into the wee hours. Vancouver's top cocktail lounge, George, is only a flight of stairs away down on Hamilton Street.

Had booked online for my 50th birthday while on holiday. We had planned on having the tasting menu with wine parings as a special treat. On arrival we where seated in the courtyard after refusing the table next to the door. I enquired about the tasting menu only to be told that this has to be pre-booked.There is no mention... More

The courtyard setting is attractive and the serving staff was very helpful and efficient. But we were served appetizers we hadn't ordered and didn't particularly want. The meals were interesting and nicely plated but several of our group complained that they were dry and overcooked (eg., the Halibut) or the sauce was overwhelming. We were a large group and it...

We dined at Brix in the trendy section of Yaletown in Vancouver on a busy Saturday night. It was to be a special occasion for Mother's Day weekend. The courtyard was lovely, and the food was carefully prepared; presentation was upscale and beautiful. (The dinner was being paid for by our son or I would have been proactive about addressing...

Brix restaurant in Vancouver's upscale Yaletown area is a really good restaurant, but it';s an even better WEDDING VENUE. We attended a wedding Sunday afternoon and evening and it could not have been more perfect. The restaurant provides an excellent wedding planner who makes sure every detail is taken care of on the wedding day and at the rehearsal. The... More

This restaurant is in the heart of Yaletown. I have visited for lunch many times and also for a Spanish wine tasting dinner for the International Wine Festival. They have a lovely courtyard that is perfect for a pre dinner drink and the restaurant proper features some wonderful art from a local artist. The food is excellent...great tapas and try... More

Brix is a great place for a nice meal. They have a fantastic covered courtyard that has a great atmosphere and the restaurant itself is really nice, small set in an old brick building and not too noisy. The food was really good, I would definitely recommend the sablefish gnocchi. Friends had the wild mushroom fettuccine and loved it. The... More

Enjoyed an elegant girls night out at Brix Restaurant last Monday. Live music brought the courtyard to life as we sipped on delicious wines and shared the best cheese platter in the city. Our server was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. After a night of wine, music, and laughter, we shared the beautiful flaming creme burlee at the server’s recommendation. What... More

My husband and I recently celebrated his birthday at Brix Restaurant in Yaletown. We not only had excellent service but the food was outstanding. The courtyard where we had our dinner provided such a lovely peaceful setting. When we finished our meal we went downstairs to George lounge and enjoyed an after dinner drink. If you want great food, atmosphere,... More

My hotel I was staying at recommended dinner at Brix. Upon walking in I was amazed that such a court yard could exist in modern Yaletown. I was very impressed with their wine list..it was very snappy with the largest selection of wines by the glass I've seen. The staff was very knowlegable and able to pair my wine with... More
