INFORMATION

AnnaLena is a Michelin starred Tasting Menu restaurant located steps from Kitsilano Beach and a short walk from Downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. 

The restaurant has been owned by Chef Michael Robbins and Operations Manager Jeff Parr since 2015.  Awarded as one of En Route’s Top 10 New Restaurants in its opening year and consistently named as one of Canada’s Top 100 Restaurants; AnnaLena continues to grow and evolve.

In June 2020 the restaurant moved to exclusively offer a multi course tasting menu focusing on seasonal local farms and suppliers alongside wine pairings and cocktails.

We are currently offering a combination of dining room and bar seating. Reservations become available exclusively online 30 days in advance.

We look forward to having you in for dinner.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOURS

We are currently open Tuesday-Sunday from 5:00pm with our last seating at 9:00pm. We are closed Monday.

PARKING & LOCATION

AnnaLena is located at 1809 West 1st Avenue in the Kitsilano neighbourhood of Vancouver.

We recommend that you give yourself ample time for travel and parking, or use public transport / rideshare services as it tends to be more convenient and can make your evening feel more relaxed and worry-free. Street parking is possible, but can be very competitive in the neighbourhood.

DIETARY REQUESTS

We offer a multi-course tasting menu at AnnaLena exclusively. We do not offer any à la carte options.

Please contact the restaurant directly via e-mail (info@annalena.ca) or phone (778-379-4052) to discuss dietary restrictions before making a booking, to ensure that we can accommodate your request. Please leave us a detailed voicemail if we are unable to pick up the phone. Due to the complexity and seasonality of the menu, we are not always able to accommodate all requests, and are unable to accommodate for more than one dietary request per booking, but will try our best. Please note that all dietary modification requests are at the discretion of the restaurant and certain accommodations can be menu dependent.

Among other restrictions and combination of restrictions, kindly note that we are unable to accommodate 100% plant-based (vegan), Celiac, butter-free, egg-free, Kosher, Halal, and/or no-allium menus at this time.
