The Acorn Restaurant

The Acorn Restaurant is a neighbourhood dining destination at 3995 Main St in Vancouver, with a food program built around dinner, drinks and weekend brunch. The restaurant also places emphasis on relationships with farms and foragers, giving its offering an ingredient-focused character without reducing it to a single style of cooking.

Evening dinner is served throughout the week apart from scheduled closure periods, while brunch runs on Saturdays and Sundays. The separate meal services give the restaurant a flexible role on Main Street, whether the occasion calls for a relaxed daytime meal or a more considered evening booking. Drinks are included as part of the restaurant’s program, alongside the main food menus.

Sustainability is a visible part of the restaurant’s identity. A dedicated zero-waste commitment shapes the way the venue presents its work, making responsible use of ingredients and resource-conscious dining central to its character. That focus sits alongside the restaurant’s connections with farms and foragers, suggesting a menu led by produce, sourcing and careful preparation rather than by a fixed list of signature dishes.

The Acorn Restaurant’s wider offering includes catering, a cookbook, gift cards and The Acorn Market. These additions extend the venue beyond a standard dine-in format, while the artist billboard series adds a creative element to the restaurant’s public presence. Together, the food, sustainability and arts-related strands create a venue with a clear point of view and several ways to engage with it.

The Main Street location suits diners planning a meal around one of Vancouver’s established commercial corridors. The restaurant is best matched with occasions that allow time for dinner or brunch, and with diners interested in a food-led venue where sourcing and waste reduction are part of the overall experience. Reservations, current service details and event-specific arrangements can be confirmed directly with the restaurant.
