About St. Lawrence
A heartfelt homage to Chef/Owner Jean-Christophe (J-C) Poirier’s heritage, formative years in Quebec and early experience in renowned Montréal restaurants, St. Lawrence offers a marriage of classic French cuisine and the gastronomic identity and culture of Les Québécois.
French spirits serve as the backbone of classic and signature cocktails, while the French focused wine list offers the perfect complement to Chef Poirier’s rustic, signature haute country cooking and underscores the fact that at St. Lawrence, simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication.
At its heart, St. Lawrence showcases time-honoured traditions in an elevated-yet-approachable space where food, drink and atmosphere combine for a transportive dining experience unlike any other.
One of the most celebrated restaurants in Canada, St. Lawrence was proudly awarded One Star by the Michelin Guide in 2022. The restaurant received a series of other recognitions this year, including Restaurant of the Year and Best Upscale by the Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards, 'Top 3' Placement in Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants, and inclusion on the World’s 50 Best Discovery List.
Previous accolades include: No. 4 on enRoute magazine’s 2018 list of Canada’s Best New Restaurants; Vancouver Magazine awards for Best New Restaurant (2018), Restaurant of the Year (2018 and ’19), Chef of the Year (2019), Best Gastown and Best French (2019 and ’20); consecutive top-five spots on the prestigious annual ranking of Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants (No. 5 in 2019, No. 2 in ’20, No. 3 in ‘22); and recognition as one of Monocle Magazine’s 50 Favourite Restaurants in the World in 2019.
