Asparagus season doesn’t last long, so we don’t have time to be polite about it

Peak season local spears from and , served charred and blanched to give contrast in textures (it’s so fresh you could eat it raw). They’re then glazed with their own roasted and fermented ends, and tossed with a foraged elderflower vinaigrette.

Underneath: confit salsify purée with elderflower miso. On top: fried salsify skin furikake and pickled bull kelp from

Peak spring. No waste. Sustainable. 🌱🌎💚

“Now that’s a strong foundation for a green star.”

The Acorn just took home the 2026 Vancouver Magazine Sustainability Award and Best Plant-Based, and we’re still flying high. 🚀

We’ve been doing this work quietly, stubbornly, and deliberately for 14 years: building close relationships with growers and foragers, preserving the season, using the whole ingredient, and letting those choices shape everything from the food and drinks to the way the restaurant runs.

Big thanks to and for recognizing the work, and to everyone who has supported The Acorn over the years. We’re proud to keep doing this work on Main Street, with and for our community 💫✨🌱

Before a plate hits the table, there’s a whole world behind it.
This is the part guests don’t always see: the dozens of small decisions that shape a meal long before it reaches the plate.
At The Acorn, that care starts with our ingredients. Local produce. Thoughtful sourcing. Scratch cooking. A kitchen team that works hard to use every part of what comes through the door, finding beauty and flavour in peels, stems, trim, and scraps that might otherwise be overlooked. And a front-of-house team that helps carry that care to the table, guiding the experience with knowledge, warmth, and intention.
Zero waste isn’t a slogan to us. It’s a practice. So is cooking with the seasons. So is building a menu with intention, from harvest to prep to plate. 🌱🖤

This is the final week to catch Carla Tak’s extraordinary work, “The View From Lookout Mountain” up on our billboard at the corner of Main and King Edward. Stop in for a bite and take home your limited edition artist card.

We’re thrilled to be working with Carla on this project and as is customary, both Lila and Acorn drew inspiration from her oeuvre to concoct cocktails truly worth savouring 🍸

One of our favourite food groups, filtered through the Acorn lens. Every Tuesday we’re serving tacos built on fresh tortillas made in-house from nixtamalized corn from Unearthed Organics, then topped with a rotating lineup of seasonal, local, sustainable fillings. Non-traditional, not trying to be, and definitely not like anything you’ve had before 🌱
