Lupo Restaurant & Vinoteca

First visit to this restaurant this past weekend and I was extremely pleased with the overall experience. The restaurant itself feels very tucked away on a relatively quiet part of Hamilton street. Located inside a renovated heritage house, the overall ambience is quite charming and cozy. While the tables are quite close together, it was still a fairly peaceful, intimate experience.

We come here once or twice a year, every time we come to Vancouver since we found it about 15 years ago. Always fantastic food and service. Our favourite dish is the fettuccine with shaved black truffles. A very simple olive oil sauce let’s the pasta and black truffles speak. And they are not cheap on the truffles. They have a fantastic wine list. Our waitress Cristina who we’ve had quite a few times was wonderful as always. She is very personable yet very efficient.

We came here last weekend at the recommendation of a friend. We had an exquisite evening from the beginning to end. There were 4 of us. We ordered wine, appetizers, their specials and desserts, coffee and port. Everything was amazing. Service was attentive and just right. The restaurant was busy but cozy. Highly recommend this place.

Delightful dinner after show Haven't been since before the pandemic, so after attending a matinee show went for an early dinner with a friend for her birthday. The service was excellent and the food selection and quality was superb. Definitely going back soon to try some additional items.
