Juniper Kitchen and Bar

Had a great evening at Juniper. Tuesday evening, so the place was quiet. Had the best service we had in a restaurant this year. Amazing server actually. Cocktails on tap are great. Compact but perfect wine list. All available by the glass which we like so we can match a different wine for each course. Food was also excellent. Compact menu as well, including items you don’t see as often in other restaurants (like Buson & duck). Grill squid with my halibut dish was exceptional. The best I ever had. Definitely recommend this place to anyone. We will be back.

We had such a fantastic time at Juniper! You can really tell the care and thought that goes into all of the food and cocktails. The hardest part of the night was deciding what to order, since everything looked so delicious, and the cocktail menu was very extensive, but our server was great at guiding us through the menu and helping us make up our mind. All of our food was cooked perfectly, we couldn’t stop raving about each bite! We can’t wait to come back!

This weas the second time to the restaurant and as I live in the neighborhood there will be many more.
Eric was our server, and his attentiveness was not over the top and not unattentive..just right for four older gals having a special night out.
Chef warren blessed us with a visit to our table to explain some of our selections which was wonderful.
the evening was what I had expected for my out of town guests and they commented how great a restaurant in walking distance from our condo in china town.
Thank you again.

Absolutely wonderful. Would come back again and again!

Great service

We have walked by juniper many times as we live in the area and said let’s try it.
We were delighted in our dining experience and will be back in the near future.
It surpasses any other restaurant on the abbott strip.
Thankyou

Beautiful restaurant in the middle of a ghetto. Great food, do not pass up the vegan board appetizer. Carnivore boyfriend ate the whole thing with me. Delicious wine pairings as well. Do not pass this up.

We’ve been to juniper several times, often for cocktails but certainly for dinner too, and this has been the best experience thus far. We were there during negroni week so ordered off their special menu (3 to choose from). I had the watermelon white negroni and he had the one that was not the “baller negroni”). I asked for mine on the rocks instead of over crushed ice and both our were brought that way, even tho his was supposed to be in a flute. The server gave me a bit of a hard time about how hard I put the teeny cork back in the teeny vial but it was also only half a cork so...) He got better as the night went on.
Food was very good. We split everything: the mussels with ‘nduja sausage (delish!), the seared tuna with compressed watermelon (yum!!), the meatballs in tomato sauce (fantastic but the radish garnish did absolutely nothing for the dish) and the duck. The Dijon spätzle that came with the duck was outstanding!! Wow! As were the rest of the accompaniments. The duck itself was probably a little overcooked &!under seasoned but was totally fine. Too full for dessert.
We stuck with cocktails and man, I got some good ones!! The Celtic Knot (loved it!!) followed by something even better that’s coming to the menu soon (akvavit, amaro x 2, coffee bitters?). Would defs go back, for that cocktail alone!

Juniper was recommended by my son. Went there with 2 close friends. The cocktail menu was outstanding if you like gin and, I loved the drinks. Food was very tasty. I had the vegan dish, and I’m not a vegan. Both friends had the pasta in the very best mushroom sauce I’ve ever had. And the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this place.

Oh yes Service was efficient and friendly.

I had the halibut and it was the best dish I’ve ever tasted! Not only that but every dish was over the top incredible! Such a special evening for me and my boyfriend, thank you!

Amazing food and service. Great vegetarian and vegan options - thanks Chef Stefano!

First time myself and my boyfriend went to Juniper, and we were not disappointed! The cocktail list was abundant, and everything we ordered was delicious! The food selection was wonderful - and definitely someone were we would go back to as we couldn’t order everything!!

Amazing experience! Took my sister there for her birthday! Thank you to the Juniper team.

We went to Juniper Kitchen before a show for the first time. The atmosphere and service is very chill and modern. The menu has many unique and delicious options. Everything we ordered was very good and we would both recommend it and go back in a heartbeat!

Such a wonderful restaurant! Great place to go for a special occasion, date night, or just to treat yourself to some amazing eats in a great atmosphere surrounded by great people. Definitely will be coming back to try more! They went above and beyond for my sisters birthday, adding to a very memorable evening. Chef Warren Chen is remarkably talented, you wont want to miss a chance to taste his fabulous creations!

Lovely little spot. Loved the roasted veg appetizer. If you love a gin cocktail, this is the place for you.

Exquisite combinations of flavors. The best roasted vegetables I’ve ever had, and the bison was done to perfection. Highly recommend the cocktails, especially “When the smoke clears.”

We had funa nice time at Juniper. Service started kind of aloof, but then picked up through our evening. We ended up connecting with our server. Had fun, good food. Dessert was so-so, trying too hard with too many flavours. Loved the butter!

Fantastic drink menu and a super creative menu. A great intimate spot. Service was speedy and friendly.

The food was good but didnt think it was anything special. It was a bit pricey for what it was. The atmosphere is nice but doubt we will be back.

Great cocktails, bar staff very knowledgeable and wowed is with off the cuff conconxtions. But ain’t doing it with love, their lack of engagement with the patrons was robotic.

Service, drinks, ambiance great. Food bad for the $$$

limited but excellent food choices and an amazing drinks menu. Great service - not intrusive but definitely on top of things. I'd definitely return.

Amazing experience, I highly recommend this place to anyone whether it’s for a special occasion or casual night out. Chef Warren Chow does an amazing job with his small and very skilled team to produce a special experience for everyone. Everything is made with love, artisan sourdough and cultured butter to house cured duck breast. I can’t recommend it enough. Not to mention the excellent service and the skilled bar team there. Go check it out!

been to Juniper a few times, have enjoyed for each time. Food is novel, outstanding and great value. They have awesome cocktails, having enjoyed the Juniper gin and tonic many times. Nice atmosphere, not too loud but has a great bustling vibe.
Will definitely be back

This was our second time visiting this restaurant. We loved our first experience so we decided to give it a shot for valentines dinner before attending a show at Rogers arena. The set menu main course of wagyu beef was great. Other than that we thought the other courses were not good at all and for the price of the set menu we were quite disappointed. Our server was great. The food we thought wasn’t a true reflection of the regular menu items... I will probobly go back on a regular night. But definitely not for a set menu of any kind.

Great service, nice ambiance. Food was okay, nothing special. Cocktails were amazing!

Fabulous evening at Juniper! Great attention to detail and service. Chef outdid himself!

I love the vibe, but the food has failed twice. Their cocktail list is quite extensive, a bit pricey at 15$ a cocktail, but i'll take it. The food, however, I have truly given this place a try, but I am never satisfied with their taste. Their risotto was very salty, nothing refined. And I ordered the Gnochi, and for $25 it was very disappointing. The gnochi was dry, and even though very visually appealing, the "pickled" beans it came with was just not a good combination. Shame because it is in a really good area.

Amazing cocktail menu and phenomenal service- servers knew all the food really well and gave super recommendations!

Service and drinks were outstanding! The only complaint would be the food. Great ideas but small portions for the price.

We came early, lovely place so still quiet but was a great experience. Thanks!

Food was excellent, I was very impressed. It’s one of the best restaurants in Vancouver for sure. The mussels were plump, fresh and delicious with a fantastic sauce that I couldn’t get enough of, and the meatballs were amazing. The scallop entree I had was also excellent, I couldn’t guess at all the ingredients but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Along with my IPA sour cocktail which was equally delicious. Service was excellent. All in all I highly recommend.

Excellent service, our waiter made great recommendations and the food was delicious. Definitely stop in for a cocktail at least , they have something for everyone!

Great evening out. Amazing cocktails and terrific service. Will definitely return again, recommend for anyone looking for some creative drinks and nice night out.

Went for a lowkey dinner for a friend's birthday. Great service/ ambiance/ food/ drinks!!! We'll be back :)

We had such a great time at Juniper. Their cocktails are really yummy and definitely would come back just for those but what surprised me was the food was really great too! The pork belly appetizer was one of the best pork belly dishes I've had. The service was good and I enjoyed the atmosphere there. Would be a good spot for a date!

We had a very lovely dinner. Service was great. Cocktails were amazing. Good and interesting vegan options. The room is beautiful. My guests were very impressed.

Excellent cocktails! Great appies! It was our first time but we will go back.

Excellent service, great food, nice atmosphere. Only thing was portion was very small and prices are a bit high especially for vegetarian/vegan.
