Dine Out Vancouver is back again! This year, K and I started with Chambar on the first day of Dine Out. I've heard great things about this restaurant and was excited to eat there finally. We arrived on time for our reservation and didn't have to wait very long before being led to our table. We were told that because it's so busy, we would have to give up the table in 1.5 hours, which was fine with us.

Gambas et chorizo Olive oil poached prawns, grilled chorizo, escabeche vegetables, avocado & Peruvian peppers.

K and I both chose the Gamba shrimp for our appetizers. It was delicious but a bit sour - must have been all the pickled vegatables and dill.

Canard aux marrons Spice rubbed duck breast, wild berry compote, chestnut hummus, Brussels sprouts & pistachios.

We couldn't decided between the duck and the mussels so we order one of each and shared them. They were amazing! The duck was so tender and succulent. I almost didn't want to give the other piece to K. Hahah.

Moules frites 'Vin Blanc'

The mussels are a must! Very delicious. The only thing was that I wish I had some bread to soak up rest the white wine sauce. I tried with the fries but they don't soak up liquid very well.

Meli melo de fruits Coconut raspberry pannacotta, green apple sorbet, macerated pomegranate & Asian pear.

For dessert, I tried the pannacotta with the green apple sorbet. The pannacotta was ok. I really liked the sorbet with the Asian pears.

Chocolat brule Chocolate espresso torte, apricot puree, pecan brittle, caramelized apple, lemon ice-cream.

 K had the chocolate espresso torte. I had a bite. It was yummy.


I would come back again! The food was delicious and their service is amazing! My glass of water wasn't even empty when they refill it again. I didn't have to ask!

Chambar is actually closing in May to move to a new location in the summer - 566 Beatty Street.
