Apero Kitchen - West Vancouver

We had a delightful dinner! We were seeking a nice, relaxed atmosphere outside of the city, and this restaurant was exactly what we were looking for.

The food was authentic and the service was excellent! The Panna Cotta was amazing, one of the best I've ever had!

It's difficult to come across restaurants that can cook salmon well, but this one definitely knows how to. The dish was delicious. The service was friendly and helpful. I will definitely be returning.

We enjoyed our first visit to Apero but it wasn't "Oh my God this is fantastic" sort of experience. The aubergine appetiser was good, but the mahi mahi was rather dry. The service needs a bit of finessing: for example the wine bottle was opened and poured without an offer to taste it first! Good but not memorable.

We passed by Apero during our walk on Friday June 09. A group of customers was coming out of the restaurant. A couple, in particular, started sharing/'showing off' their dinning experience there. The lady insisted that we 'must have' the Chocolate Almond Torte. We wondered if whether it was a new kind of live ad :) However, we were impressed by their joyful enthusiasm. The next evening around 9:30PM, we dropped by Apero for a late snack. From the food to the atmosphere, the welcoming pleasantness of the owner/chef and the staffs at Apero (they weren't overly friendly; but, they are earnest and real,) it's easy for one to claim and make Apero, 'their go-to restaurant' and drop by nightly as if it were a regular upscale neighbourhood hangout Cheer. All in all, we had a memorable experience and understood that couple's Apero dinning enthusisam. I wished we had ordered their award winning spaghetti rucola. Well, next time. And, Yes, we shared the Chocolate Almond Tarte.
