Verde - Vancouver

Really surprisingly good. Had the shrimp salad and added avocado. Was super delicious and healthy. I like that they show the calories per dish. Good came out very quickly and is reasonably priced. Also really nice views up there!

Now this idea of having a restaurant in shopping place is strange to me. But it's a nice classy place. With a great view overlooking robson square . The food an all is fine but we had a great time , special thanks to the the lead server Brydon Lattery

While downtown to watch the Christmas Santa Clause Parade, we stopped inside Nordstrom’s and went for lunch in their bistro on the top floor. It’s modern space, bright and airy, with floor to ceiling windows. Theirs is a casual upscale menu and vibe, somewhere in between an Earl’s or Cactus Club restaurant.

Food was pretty good. Service was prompt and warm. I've been here a couple times and it never disappoints. The place is busy during lunch hours. My salmon club sandwich was excellent. The angel hair pasta was a little over cooked. Aside from that everything was great.

It is not hard to imagine Bistro Verde at Nordstrom being such a popular lunch spot in Downtown. Besides their chic interiors, comfortable seats, and a glamorous but elegant vibe, customers are surrounded by bright daylight coming through those big glass windows, and beautiful views of Downtown Vancouver, including local landmarks like Vancouver Art Gallery and Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. What a fantastic way to experience the vibrant social life is in the city!  I have seen other reviewers compare the bistro to places like Cactus Club or Earls, but personally I find their space at Bistro Verde much more open with greater energy flow, and a lot classier. Food wise, the quality seems above average, but the menu is lacking of originality and surprises – but I guess getting a Michelin star is really not their goal. Nevertheless,  I would definitely come back here if I could reserve a table by the window on a sunny day.
