BACCHUS RESTAURANT AND LOUNGE || A Charming and Cozy Space Serving European-inspired Classics

Get cozy next to the fireplace.

The fire crackling in the fireplace, majestic plush red armchairs, and an elegant polished wood bar in the lounge all add to the restaurant’s cozy ambiance. The lounge is the perfect spot to enjoy a cocktail by the window as you look out to Vancouver downtown’s busy streets.

Bacchus Restaurant & Lounge is nestled within the Wedgewood Hotel, a top-rated hotel in the heart of Vancouver City Centre. The European-inspired menu pays homage to classics and Executive Chef Mongomery Lau refines each dish using fresh, local ingredients. Various interior details such as brass banisters, dark mahogany furniture, plush red velvet booths, and Venetian lighting fixtures embody the romance of dining in a traditional European restaurant.

The menu features modern French cuisine made with locally sourced West Coast ingredients, from Local west Coast Kusshi Oysters to Seven Spice Crusted Albacore Tuna & mandarin Textures.

A decadent appetizer to indulge in would be the Pan Seared Rougié Foie Gras & House Made Brioche. The rich oils blend harmoniously with the sweet yet citrusy flavors of the pineapple and tangy macerated cherries; pistachios balance the smooth texture of the foie gras and rounds out the texture profile with the house-made brioche.

Entrées feature an extensive selection of mouth-watering seafood and meat options, such as the Slow Roasted Half Rack of Lamb, Confit Pataonia King PRawns with Steamed Manila Clams, and more. The vegetarian Wild Mushroom Risotto is finished with aromatic winter truffles and charred leeks.

Maple Glazed Sablefish

The buttery Maple Glazed Sablefish sits on top of a bed of shitake stewed spelt, parsnip, and roasted jerusalem artichoke. The sablefish melts in your mouth and the tasty vegetables have absorbed the delicious sablefish essence for satisfaction in every bite.

The Roast Farmcrest Chicken with Caramelized Chestnut & Glazed Apples is an ideal dish to evoke feelings of the holidays, with a warm pomme dauphine, creamy butternut squash, black truffle butter, and finished with a red wine reduction.

Roast Farmcrest Chicken

No meal is complete in the winter season without a warm chocolate cake, and Chef Mongomery Lau prepared a delectable chocolate cake paired with espresso gelato - a classic pairing that will never get old. Enjoy the ice-cold gelato with the warm chocolate center in one bite for a most satisfying taste.

Private dining room

We can’t think of a better place to celebrate the holiday season than a classic cocktail by the fire, enjoying classic French cuisine infused with the flavours of fresh West Coast ingredients. If you are planning on visiting with your family over the holiday season, make sure to inquire about the private dining room where you can enjoy a quiet outing as you sip on delicious wines.
