"With all the glut of new restaurants in Vancouver, it's easy to be dazzled by the "next big thing". Ask yourself how stalwarts like Bishop's continue to thrive in this competitive food market. Consistent and excellent local food, impeccable service and warm classic ambiance. That's how. And my last vist was no exception. Visit Bishop's to see how it should be done."

"Hello everyone!
My partner and I was at Bishop's for dinner two nights ago and we had a wonderful experience. The food was very tasty & beautifully presented. We do have one comment on the Dungeness Crab Risotto - we can barely find any dungeness crab in the risotto. I can certainly tasted the crab flavor in the Risotto but if you named a dish with "Dungeness Crab Risotto" - people will expect to see a few bigger pieces of crab meat with it? ;-)
The service was very very attentive, professional, efficient and friendly. It happened that I was sneezing at the table - within a minute, our Maitre D' "Abel" came to the table with a small package of Kleenex on a plate. We were very impressed! Abel is also very charming and handsome."

"Had a very pleasant meal at Bishops last Friday - my wife had spot prawns and Halibut. The spot prawns were the star for her - they were fabulous. Her halibut was very good and very nicely finished, perfectly cooked and nicely presented. I had raw kusshi oysters which came with two lemons to squeeze onto them, a grapefruit ice reduction and hot butter - they were extremely good - I love oysters and these were great. The standout for me was the risotto which had clams and mussels in shells, spot prawns, crab - this was in a light sauce that was incredibly tasteful - some light, tasty reduction of some sort. It was a winner and each piece spot prawns, mussels, clams were cooked perfectly. I think it was the best risotto I have had."

"This was my first visit to Bishop's. Our party was very well taken care of by the polite and attentive staff and Mr Bishop himself. The food was excellent, the wine divine. Carefully chosen artworks hung on the walls. They could not have improved a thing. My brother and I chose this place to take my mother who is hard of hearing and we were able to enjoy our conversation and she wasn't left out, a concern at most other restaurants."

"Went to Bishop's while visiting Vancouver for the first time. I wanted something distinctive, not just another nice restaurant; I wanted this to be a dining experience. Bishop's did not disappoint; food was amazing and the service by every member of the team was second to none. I'd highly recommend it & can't wait to go back the next time I'm in Vancouver."

"I read about Bishop's on TA and had to visit it. The food was very well-presented but could have had some more taste. The staff (four persons) was very friendly and tried hard. I ordered a dry martini when I arrived, and white wine for the starter and main course. Since I had not finished the drink when the starter was served I did not get the white wine! Dry martini and octopus is not the best combination. The in-between appetizer dishes were very well-presented but did not really fit the rest of the dishes I ordered. I my opinion in-between appetizer should only be used where there is a fixed menu. I had a wonderful halibut as main course which was delicious. I it clear that Bishop's has ambitions, but does not meet gourmet standard."

"As always the food was wonderful. It took a long time to get our dinner and the coffee was also a long wait. But I think they knew that and gave us an extra appy and a drink after our coffees. The evening was lovely.

"Good was great, loved the mini soup (complimentary), the house made bread and the little wing oysters! It was my fiancé's birthday and they added a special 'happy birthday' cookie to the dessert which was delicious! Loved the panna cotta dessert! Wine list was very attractive, but some rare bottles were out of our budget... Great experience overall!"

"Best dining experience I think I have ever had. John Bishop (the main man) met us at the door, shook out hands, and dropped by the table a couple of times to make sure everything was perfect. It was! Service was impecable, food presentation was impeccable, food quality, flavors, textures were mind-blowing. Awesome wine list."

"I was here last Sunday with my Fiancé for his early birthday dinner. We got there a little late, about 10 minutes, but staff greeted us in a very friendly manner and we felt welcomed at the moment we stepped into the restaurant. Shortly after I sat down at the table, I got up and was about to ask where the washroom was but the server figured it out somehow and walked me to the front of the washroom in person. After I sat down they gave us a complimentary bread and gave us duck confit on crisp cracker which we enjoyed a lot. We ordered Grilled Octopus as an appetizer and Duck breast and Cod for main course. They were all very delicious and weren't overcooked. We will definitely come back here for another special occasion. It is a must visit!"

"Always surprising, and evolving in subtle ways. We had the salmon and lamb entrees. I am not a fan of salmon, but this was simply amazing, paying homage to our BC native cuisine. The lamb was perfectly cooked with a briny tart succulence. Sour cherry cheesecake is hard to keep on the plate. Service was gracious and calm as always."

"We had a dinner for 4 at Bishop's last week and it was our first time there. It was recommended online and by our hotel. The service was fantastic. We had notified them ahead that we had two vegetarians and they went out of their way to accommodate us. everyone enjoyed their food and wine (we asked for the waiter to recommend a local BC red which was excellent). We would certainly recommend Bishop's."

"John Bishop and his staff continue to set the bar for excellence in food, service, ambience, attention to detail, and making every guest feel special. Timing of service is always impeccable. It was a special evening for a reunion with an old friend, and afterward, she said she felt like a VIP. I had to let her know that she would feel the same on the next visit. It's that special. Great service does not a restaurant make...the food is equally stunning. To sum it up in two words...simple elegance. The wine list is beyond smart...it's thoughtful, deep, and passionate."

"Service was impeccable, non-intrusive, and well-informed. Food was excellent. Lamb rack was perfectly done, and the braised shank ravioli was tasty. Sorbets and cheese platter were good selections."

"Bishop's is the epitome of fine dining with attention to discrete detail: It includes locally sourced foods with emphasis on organic growing, prepared with a sophisticated understanding of texture, taste and presentation and served with understated professionalism. The wine list is extensive yet we kept with the local theme and loved their offering of Okanagan Merlot.
A Vancouver treasure in dining. Thank-you, Bishops!"

"I went to Bishop's with my wife to celebrate Valentine's day. The food and service were both very good. The ambiance was alright. It was definitely lit for the mood but because of the size of the restaurant and the closeness to the street it was not as quiet as I thought it would be. The service was great and the staff were very attentive."

"This was our first time at Bishop's and it was even better than expected. Everything was delectable - perfectly prepared and beautifully plated. Service was attentive but not rushed. We appreciated the complimentary salmon amuse-bouches, and the owner himself checking in and seeing if things were OK. Indeed they were!"

"I travel to Vancouver quite a bit. I happened to be in Vancouver this past weekend for an extended long weekend and having been to Bishop's before I was happy to make a return visit with one of my friends who is a local Vancouver resident. The food and service at Bishop's is impeccable. It is evident that the entire operations pride themselves in providing a wonderfully put together menu that is prepared with such care and attention and would explain the loyal and repeat customers. It was a wonderful way to spend a quiet Sunday dinner. The apple galette with oatmeal ice cream was to die for! I am back in Vancouver in March and will definitely try to make a return visit to Bishop's."

"Expected more due to Bishop's high rating. We had been there last year and were suitably impressed. Admittedly the restaurant was fully booked but the service was very slow. It was at least 1/2 hr before they even took our order; bread came to the table 1/2 hr later. The fish special I ordered was imaginative but dry, probably previously frozen. I wouldn't order the dish again. There are at least a dozen restaurants I will choose before I go to Bishop's again."

"Bishops has been the special restaurant, but this dinner wasn't special. The pear salad was dominated by big pieces of lettuce, the entrees were generally plain, and the dessert was good. But the martinis were special = delicious."

Just learned you can requesy upstair or downsairs when you reserve.
Downstairs is on the cool side fall and winter.... Without a jacket you might want to be upstairs.
One of the best resyaurants in the city."

"We have dined at Bishop's on special occasions for more than 20 years and, invariably, we have been more than happy with the result.
This past Thursday, our 54th. Wedding Anniversary, we felt that the entire meal was, perhaps, the very best of all. Not only were the menu items tempting, they were also presented so attractively and were mouth-watering as well. In all, it was a perfect experience. Little wonder Bishop's has been a Vancouver restaurant gem since it opened its doors."

"This was my third visit to Bishop's and like the other two visits, it was memorable. This place never ceases to amaze. We loved the greeting by Mr. Bishop when we arrived - so personal! The service was terrific and friendly and the food and wine superb. I am sure there will be a fourth visit when the budget allows. Definitely a "special occasion" evening."

"I had been hearing good things about Bishop's for years, and was a bit concerned that I might find it over-priced, mediocre & resting on its reputation for past glories. I needn't have worried. It's by no means cheap, but the prices were entirely justified by the outstanding food & service. My companions (visitors from Whitehorse) were blown away; the table conversation kept looping back to the excellence of the food. The duck was by far the best I've ever eaten, & the desserts were so good we (almost!) forgot the earlier courses. Attentive but unobtrusive service made us feel more like guests than customers. Days later, I get a warm glow remembering this meal. Bravo, Bishop's!"

"This restaraunt has won many acolades, my praise would be lost amongst the rest. The booking thing was odd, but maybe because we did it through OpenTable, we could only get a table at 6.30pm though the restaraunt had plenty of free tables all evening. Everything was as it should have been. Very good.
Picky little issues? The service was a little lacking in precision but compsensated for by the charm with which it was executed. I had the finest piece of beef I have expereinced in a long time. Shame the accompanying food was cold, I suspect due to the fact it was served onto a cold plate?
Great place to be!!"
