Restaurant
The Diamond
October 9, 2009
A trio of Vancouver’s brightest bar stars—Mark Brand, Josh Pape, and Sophie Taverner—pooled their formidable talents to open one of the city’s most anticipated rooms. With a bird’s-eye view of Maple Tree Square, this historic space now boasts a stylish ease, a striking glass chandelier offsetting the well-worn charm of exposed brick walls. The impressive yet modestly priced drinks list draws its inspiration from the Prohibition era, offering a modern take on traditional standbys. A menu card of Asian-influenced snacks ranges in price from $3 to $12. Choice nibbles include a Peking duck and chicken riff on Vietnamese banh mi, and Sloping Hills organic-pork gyoza.
