VANCOUVER MAGAZINE RESTAURANT AWARDS 2010

Chambar Restaurant was recognized with 4 accolades at the 21st annual Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards. Awarded GOLD for Best Other European, with Pastry Chef Eleanor Chow receiving an honorable mention for Best Last Course. Our Guest Relations guru Eryn Collins was honoured with a Premier Cru award for her outstanding contribution to Vancouver’s hospitality industry over the past 10 years. Chambar also tied with The Diamond for an honorable mention as Best Bar and Lounge.

“There is an incredible amount of talent and ambition in Vancouver right now,” says Chambar onwer Karri Schuermans, “it’s wonderful to have so many members of the Chambar family recognized for their extraordinary efforts and achievements. We are very grateful to all the people that work with us, from kitchen staff to servers, dishwashers to polishers, cleaners and administration people, and of course wonderful and talented managers. There are a lot of people that work very hard to provide people with a dining experience. Our staff are the ones who deserve the recognition.”

This is what Vancouver Magazine says...
Five years on, “the little restaurant that could,” as one judge put it, “still can, and does.” Another judge pointed to the “innovative and excellent cuisine, a bar program that’s second to none, and stellar desserts” at Chambar (Gold). Other commendations: “There’s a real warmth to the assured service which makes the room feel friendly and lively, without tipping into frantic buzz.” “Euro Vancouver cooking with a North African influence makes a welcome change from the relentlessly local focus of so many rooms.” “The food is unpredictable in the most delightful way. Moules Congolaise always rates, as do fries with harissa mayo. And the lamb tagine!” A year of expansive thinking has yielded—after last year’s Café Medina—a private room, a house-brewed Belgian ale, and the Dirty Apron cooking school next door. Chambar took this category hands down.
