One of the best dinners we’ve had in a very long time! Exquisite tasting menu is terrific by itself but their sommelier (awesome job, Reverie!) does an amazing job with the wine pairing menu. We picked the more expensive one and boy didn’t regret it! Apart from, of course, Dom Perignon to start, it features some really rare and interesting wines you’d not expect to taste so far from Europe (Resurgences from Corsica was our favorite). The dishes are well balanced and full of flavor, making it truly an unforgettable dining experience! The staff is very knowledgeable and provides very extensive explanations of wine pairings and food. 10/10!

Went for the prefixed menu and was not disappointed. Everything was quite flavourful and the torn bread with one of the courses is amazing! Kind of wish you could get it for takeout. Decent amount of food for the average person so make sure you don't make the mistake of having a late lunch like we did; we were stuffed.

The main course was really good. I'm not normally a fan of lamb but I enjoyed it this time. The sable fish was also very sumptuous. Not sure which I liked more.

In general, I enjoyed the appetizers and desserts, some of which surprised me. But mean courses did not meet my expectation, some were too salty and some were to sour, those heavy flavor make food lost the balance of taste. For the choice of plates, it looks very simple and it goes perfectly with each dish. The lady who ordered our drinks and took our bill was very friendly and provided nice service.

Wife and I came to Vancouver for a show and immediately booked a reservation for AnnaLena. It came highly recommended to us, and did not disappoint.

6 course tasting menu was closer to 10 dishes and each one was exquisite. Service was outstanding, exactly what one would hope for for am experience like this. Knowledge, attentive without being overbearing and just delightful all around.

Tasting menu constantly changes, we had no idea what we would be served until we arrived. Each dish told a story and was not only fun to look at, but delicious as well.

If you haven't treated yourself to the Annalena experience, do so. We will definitely be back next time we visit Van.

This place was highly recommended to me by friends, but I think that their quality has gone downhill since they’ve gained a name for themselves. And in an attempt to create unique dishes, they have disregarded how well the ingredients may combine together for each dish because I found that almost every item that was served missed its mark slightly, when I was expecting perfection for a restaurant of this calibre. Some dishes were slightly too salty or sour, the ingredients could’ve been put together better. Nothing was bad, but nothing made me feel like it was amazing either. My favourite thing at this restaurant would have been the torn bread that they served, it was on par with the bread found in France. I wish that I could order just the bread for take out.
