Knowledgeable staff regarding all of the wines. Loved the Blanc de Noir 2018 "champagne". It was definitely worth the price of $85 - just an incredible sparkling wine comparable to Veuve or better.

Chinese
Chinatown
Providing Vancouver with very good Chinese-ish food since 2010.

Bao Bei is a unique restaurant in Chinatown that cultivates casual intimate dining experiences by providing small plates meant to be shared amongst a group of friends and family. Influences are taken from Taiwan and Shanghai but we are also inspired by a range of global flavours that form a more modern approach to Chinese cooking. We also love a good stiff cocktail and a nice glass of gamay to go with our food so we’ve taken great care to create distinctive libations and to curate a nice little list of wines for you.

The food at Bao Bei was an interesting asian-adjacent culinary experience. We had the family course dinner for a business group. There were wonderful and diverse flavors though the seasoning was very clearly intended for a western culinary palate, biased toward sweet rather than spicy flavors. Portions were adequate and the cocktails were really inventive and fun. I have to admit I was expecting a more authentic high-end Chinese meal, but what we had was delightful and quite memorable.

It's our go-to spot for those times when we're having mom & son time (he's 11.) Great kids menu and one of the best GF chicken sandwiches in the city! We're never in a rush because there's time to be spent watching the game and hanging out in the arcade. Sometimes we'll even allow Dad to join us ;)

We had a great dinner and would definitely recommend Belgrade Kitchen. The food and atmosphere were fantastic. The only caveat is the neighborhood...we walked from our hotel about 15 minutes away and the neighborhood went from Gastown to a street of run down buildings and street residents...
