The Cascade Room doesn't flirt with a concept — it commits to one.

Editorial review•May 5, 2026

The Cascade Room doesn't flirt with a concept — it commits to one. This is a Mount Pleasant neighbourhood bar with a kitchen that actually gives a damn, which in this city makes it a quiet argument against every overfunded lounge charging $22 for a cocktail and a sad charcuterie situation. The room draws the intersection of the neighbourhood's older working bones and its newer creative class: people who want a proper drink, a real plate, and nobody trying to impress them with amuse-bouches. The price point is accessible in a way that reads like intention rather than limitation, and that's what Cascade gets right that most spots at this level get wrong — it doesn't telegraph the budget, it just delivers. The kitchen's clearest statement of identity is that wild boar appears on the menu twice, and that's not an accident. The Wild Boar Tacos are consistently cited for a richness that straightforward pork rarely achieves — the game character stays present without tipping into funk, landing somewhere between taqueria and proper braise according to diners who return for them specifically. The Wild Boar Sausage & Pommes Purée is the cold-night version of the same instinct: reportedly dense and unapologetic, the kind of plate built for a Vancouver February. The Garlic-Chili Prawns are known for bringing heat without overwhelming the shellfish, and the Crispy Ocean Perch has a reputation for executing a technique that sounds simple and rarely is. The Steak Frites holds down the menu as the dependable anchor for anyone who needs something familiar and well-executed. Order the wild boar in either form — that's where the kitchen's personality comes through most clearly. The Steak Frites is the call when someone at the table is being difficult about menus. Come on a weeknight if you want a bar stool without negotiating for it; weekends pack in fast and the vibe shifts accordingly. Book ahead for groups.

Editorial review by Carlos Mendez

GOYO sits on Lonsdale Avenue in North Vancouver doing something the North Shore has historically undersupplied: a Korean café that treats dessert as the main event rather than an afterthought to a rice bowl.
