Reviews for Anna Lena in Vancouver, BC
We visited AnnaLena for Chapter Fifty Two and had the most amazing time. Every dish was prepared with care and tasted divine.... I?d recommend getting the wine pairing to enhance your experience. And the torn bread is to die for!!! This an excellent placeto celebrate a special occasion. 100% recommend. Read more
Fantastic dinner. We really enjoyed their tasting menu (apparently they are switching the menu very soon, so we hope to return... soon), and their service was great. From the photos, I actually wasn't really convinced it would be a nice place to go; the foodand interior looked pretty basic to me, but I was wrong. I still feel that they could get more unique looking or interestingplates etc., but their food was original and they tasted fantastic! It is a pricier restaurant, but it's worth it. If you arein the area and would like to try out a great restaurant, I highly recommend this place. One thing I suggest is, there were acouple dishes you were encouraged to eat with your fingers, it would have been nice to have a wet towel or a finger bowl toclean your fingers afterwards. Thank you for a great dinner experience. Read more
The tasting menu is beyond amazing. Leaving the menu to the chef allows you to try new dishes and ingredients you would never... think about trying. We loved every single dish we were served even though we probably wouldn?t order that on a regular menu. Theportion sizes are small but throughout the entire course it?s actually very filling! Would HIGHLY recommend this for anyonefeeling adventurous or just wanting a great place to dine! Read more

Used to come here a couple of times a year, but this is our first time back since they started offering set menus. Amazing... bites as I remembered! Thoroughly enjoyed everything?dishes are creative, flavours are on point, with just the right amount ofsalt and acid, beautiful plating, and good flow for a tasting menu. We missed the torn bread a lot, so glad it was on the menutonight! And the sticky toffee pudding was so delicious too, such an amazing way to end the meal! Will definitely be backregularly again!

Amazing!!! I used to come often when I worked in the area, pre pandemic, but haven't visited since. Celebrated my birthday here,... and was still blown away by every menu item. Presentation, taste, creativity, execution, all on point, which is extremelydifficult to do with set menus of all different tastes and texture. Again... amazing. Read more
Just had one of the most fabulous meals here for DOV! They offer an amazing 5 course tasting menu. Each dish is very well... composed, all the flavours work so well together & the presentation is beautiful. As each course is served, they explained indetail the components of the dish. The service is impeccable! They are friendly & knowledgeable. The ambiance is relaxed & thedecor is eclectic. This by far has got to be not only one of the best DOV experiences I've ever had, but also one of the bestmeals I've had. Anna Lena knows what they're doing & they are doing it oh so well. We will definitely be back & I highlyrecommend you check them out! @inspiringfoodie Read more
Set tasting menu with a huge drink option available. Had a wonderful experience here. The service was friendly and excellent,... the food was fabulous and the atmosphere/ambience was impeccable. Not kid friendly, although they provide options outside theirtasting menu for kids, I would advise against bringing kids. Definitely the place to go with your significant other or a fewfriends to enjoy a slow non rushed dinner while having intimate conversations. Would definitely come back here. Each of theitems in the five course is well balanced in taste with a little bit more on the savoury side (except for dessert). I especiallyenjoyed the mussels. Read more
