St. Lawrence Restaurant

About St. Lawrence in Vancouver

A heartfelt homage to Chef/Owner Jean-Christophe (J-C) Poirier’s heritage, formative years in Quebec, and early experience in renowned Montréal restaurants, St. Lawrence offers a marriage of classic French cuisine and the gastronomic identity and culture of Les Québécois with our French restaurant, St. Lawrence.

French spirits serve as the backbone of classic and signature cocktails, while the French-focused wine list offers the perfect complement to Chef Poirier’s rustic, signature haute country cooking and underscores the fact that at St. Lawrence, simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication.

At its heart, St. Lawrence showcases time-honoured traditions in an elevated yet approachable space where food, drink, and atmosphere combine for a transportive dining experience unlike any other.

One of the most celebrated restaurants in Canada, St. Lawrence was proudly awarded One Star by the Michelin Guide in 2022. The restaurant received a series of other recognitions this year, including Restaurant of the Year and Best Upscale by the Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards, 'Top 6' Placement in Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants 2023, and inclusion on the World’s 50 Best Discovery List.
