Designed by Peter Cardu alum Scott & Scott architects (how refreshing – not a reclaimed barn board in sight!), Bestie sets a new design standard for Vancouver restaurants.
Serving German street foodcurry wurst is a late night classic of sliced bratwurst with curry ketchup and Kennebec friesplus great sides like kohlrabi and apple coleslaw and warm pretzels with house made mustard and pickle, we predict it will be summer’s funnest Riesling and beer fueled nightspot.
It’s helmed by two design-savvy gents Clinton and Dane, who pulled the exact colour palette from 1974 Volkswagons for their vinyl banquette seating for a fresh and inspired look. Planks of BC spruce line the walls, and double as serving platters (an economy of materials was part of the design philosophy), plus German whimsy kicks in the authentic cuckoo clock on the far wall and 16 ounce white ceramic beer steins. Fleet objects crafted the gorgeous light fixtures in her nearby studio, while Home Depot copper fittings dress up the walls.
You’d bestie make it over there. Sarah Bancroft
