Wine Access Magazine has added Café Brio to their Top 100 Restaurants in Canada list, and the prestigious Conde Nast Travel Magazine has provided a glowing review of the restaurant as well. They’ve also received the highest rating possible in several travel guides. Open seven nights a week for dinner, starting at 5:30pm, this popular spot offers a variety of international, high-quality seafood dishes in their Tuscan-inspired, rustic dining area. Brio is well known for their savoury salumi (Italian cured meats) and artisan desserts.
Café Brio serves what it calls Italian-leaning cuisine using West Coast ingredients. Dishes such as pan-roasted rockfish with polenta gnocchi qualify as a resounding “leaning” success, as does grilled Pacific octopus. There’s no leaning when it comes to its family meals, six dishes chosen by the chef and served family style in the middle of the table in accordance with full-on Italian tradition. Cheese lovers will appreciate the large selection of local cheeses, and the eclectic wine list is big on North American West Coast vintages.
Looking for sophisticated Italian cuisine with a west coast twist? Who isn’t? Dine like the Europeans on the street-front patio adorned with whimsical twinkle lights, or enjoy the rustic Italian decor inside the vibrant dining room. Order family-style, or choose a pasta, meat, or fish entrée. Leave room for authentic salumi, and don’t forget to explore the expansive wine list!
