Globe @ YVR - Fairmont Vancouver Airport

Great place to meet. Transit connections etc.

Love our pretrip dinners/breakfasts at Globe@YVR!
Celebrating 30 years together this time. Melissa was our server as she has been many times before & impeccable service as always. Staff are always friendly & professional. Food was creative & flavourful & washed down with some tasty cocktails. Must have the beer bread with bee pollen butter!

Another fabulous experience. Certainly one of our "go to" places for special occasions and we're never disappointed. And the 3 hours of free parking at prime meal times is very welcome relief from the ordinarily expensive parking at the airport.

The only “distraction” from a perfect evening was a very loud individual at the adjacent table who was trying to impress his business colleagues (and totally failing if their body language was any indication). Perhaps a reminder by management to such individuals regarding decorum would be appropriate. Once the individuals at the table departed the remainder of our dinner was quite relaxing.

The service was incredibly slow....2 hours for lunch and it wasn't crowded. My tuna nicoise salad looked like a heap of lettuce stuck on a plate with everything buried underneath and there was way too much dressing. It was an incredible disappointment as I have had it before and it looked and tasted so much better. Overall a disappointing experience

Fantastic dinner, just superb

For an upscale restaurant it was very disappointing. Not only was the restaurant extremely cold, there was no real atmosphere. Only the soup was ok. The main course food overall subpar. Chicken was dry and tasteless. Definitely would NOT recommend. Both of us left a huge portion of our meal on our plate and the server didn’t even ask why.

Great restaurant and very lucky to have it at the Vancouver International Airport. Food, views, ambiance and service were great!

Despite having specifically requested a window table, we were initially assigned to a table near-ish but not adjacent to a window. The hostess said “this is where we always put parties of your size”, which is nonsense as we’ve been there several times before without ever having been seated there. She also said that, if I had wanted a window table, I “should have requested that”, which I had done!! I pointed out where we had been seated on our most recent visit, which was no longer available because, she told us, they had a walk-in arrive just before us. All of which made me question, why did we bother making a reservation?

In the end, they did rearrange some tables so the guest of honour could have a seat right at the window; the view is the precise reason he chose this restaurant (again) to celebrate his birthday.

Our waiter, Curtis, was attentive and thoughtful, and the food was a good as his service. After the initial hiccups with respect to the table, we had a marvellous evening and a very happy birthday kid.

The Fairmont comes with a reputation and, consequently, an expectation. The latter was not fully met on two counts. First, the service was extremely slow; the main course took over 35 minutes to arrive at our table. Second, the food is overpriced; admittedly, the restaurant is an international airport but that is not a reason to charge what it charges.

All the food recommended by the manger were amazing!

This is a frustration with several restaurants. Always seating people right near each other when there is lots of space available. In our case, the table was HORRIBLY loud and totally ruined our dinner as we had to listen to their supposedly confidential business conversation about steel.

Asked the restaurant manager if they could put together a little caviar plate off-menu, and the sous chef obliged in spades - along with everything else including the live music, it was a great way to kick off a holiday!

We always have dinner at the Fairmont Airport Hotel as the food is always beyond fabulous and delicious.

Great meal and our server melissa was brilliant

Food and service are consistently good at this restaurant. It does tend to be pricey for what you get.

The food was unbelievable, service was great.. 5 star experience definitely would recommend

Excellent food. A bit noisy and not cheap. But a good experience overall.

Such a disappointment. We have eaten here many times over the years while staying at the hotel. Salad was a rip off for $18. It was bitter with no dressing. Basically some peeled carrots. Food was served on huge plates which really exaggerated the already extremely small portions. My fish was dry and tasteless. Witnessed a server carrying food while coughing openly. It was such an unsatisfactory dinner when previously it was something to look forward to. Will eat at food court in the next time and it won’t be $137.

This restaurant offers a fine dining experience ( highly selective menu ) at a fine dining price. Maybe not be the best choice for a family or those wanting a more casual dinner with a more varied menu. You can also ask to see the bar menu for more choices.
The service was good.

Relaxed environment and Great Customer Service.The Variety at the Buffet has something for everyone .Wonderful fresh fruit and pastries and fabulous omelet and waffle station.

For an airport hotel restaurant this place is incredible. The food was tremendous and our server, Josephine was outstanding.

This is one of our favourite restaurants, great service, and food, smart people running the operation-
We went to celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary - well the results were less than expected - However, management was on the ball, made considerable concessions and we remain loyal fans - Usually outstanding - fully expect it to be next time

The culinary team were so accommodating to my dietary restrictions and it was a wonderful afternoon with my girl friend visiting Vancouver for the first time.

Great service. Beautifully presented and great tasting food with good portion sizes. Gluten free requirements for coeliac disease were managed amazingly...felt very safe eating there. Lovely view out over the airport with mountains behind. Very easant atmosphere.

Everything was great. Still a little expensive buffet.

Outstanding food and service

Best airport hotel restaurant that I’ve experienced.

I have been to the Fairmont Vancouver Airport for high tea before so comparing that to this, it was a bit lacking. There were not as many items and it was small in size compared to before. Not worth it for the price.

Quiet attentive service. Some what over priced but when at the Fairmont is the best place to eat.

Very good service from Josh who was our waiter that night

If you want to enjoy a first class meal and really like aviation you can't beat The Globe Restaurant. It is a great place to dine for special occasions. Not inexpensive but for everything you receive, and can enjoy, it is on par with the finest restaurants in Vancouver.

The team at Globe were amazing. They knew it was our anniversary and treated my wife to a view, and (knowing how much she loves airplanes) they even provided her with a plane-spotting guide. They also made sure we had something special to celebrate our anniversary prepped and ready, and were extremely thoughtful the entire time. We would happily return and would be more than happy to recommend the team to anyone who is looking to celebrate a special occasion.

View is spectacular and of course very unique to see planes fly in and out with the mountains as the back drop. Food is good but pricey. Parking is covered!

Service levels were very poor. We had to keep asking for re-fills and our food came out in 2 orders per time, (8-people). It was aprox 5 mins from the 1st meal to when the last order came out.
Food was excellent … although, most items were cold plates.

The afternoon tea was a special treat. Lovely food, great service. Not cheap, but worth it for a special occasion.

Service and food was very slow. Prices are extremely high for mediocre tasting food. The buffet would have been a better choice, but seemed too expensive. Parking was covered, but there was no instruction on how to use the pass they gave, and it took forever to get out of the parking lot.

Our server Sam made our breakfast experience memorable. She is lovely! Food was on point as always and we had a great view of the planes.

My dinner was one of the best I've had in a long time:
SAKURA PORK TOMAHAWK
maple glazed, mushroom bread pudding, asparagus, crème fraiche

stylish and elegant restaurant but a limited menu was the only negative.
