Restaurant
Bishop’s
October 8, 2009
Many of B.C.’s most formidable talents have toiled at this venerable Kitsilano eatery over the past 25 years, with several moving on to change the way we dine here (Vikram Vij, Rob Feenie, and Michael Allemeier, to name just a few). Owner John Bishop added another to this crowded pantheon with the excellent Andrea Carlson. Her regional sourcing and simply expressed cooking dovetail seamlessly with the restaurant that started Vancouver’s love affair with local ingredients. The room is as unassumingly elegant as Bishop himself, with work from local artists adorning the walls. Service, the province of omnipresent Abel Jacinto, never misses a beat, while the wine list is full of hard-to-find local labels. The menu changes often to reflect what’s in season—we recently enjoyed Qualicum Bay scallops over saffron papardelle with fava beans and basil.
