YVR Foodie | Hareem Bites

🇨🇳 This is Canada’s only Michelin Starred Chinese restaurant. They’re known for their Beijing roast duck with crispy, golden skin and juicy meat, carved tableside.

The $88 for 2 lunch special is honoured every day (including weekends) from 11am-4pm. All duck dishes are 100% halal(!!!), and we requested a seafood/veg replacement for the pork.

The food was beautifully presented and tasted great, but the service was extremely rude and hostile—honestly one of the worst experiences I’ve had, which made me question their awards and how they’ve maintained a Star for 4 years.

Do I recommend the visit? Yes but 1) only at this price, and 2) if you love or have always wanted to try Peking duck. The $88 price tag was a steal for the amount of food we got (which was all delicious). Keep service expectations VERY low… just enjoy the food and interior and call it a day ✨

Note:
• They don’t always accommodate dietary restrictions. Call ahead of time and confirm again once you arrive
• The dress code is “elegant attire” (no shorts or slippers). No one was dressed as fancy as we expected so don’t stress about it
