Vancouver is a melting pot of cultures and flavours. Home to some of the best Chinese and Japanese food outside China and Japan, the city never has a shortage of excellent Asian restaurants, while a new generation of chefs brings fresh perspectives and flavours, championing seasonal produce from the province of British Columbia.

Nero Tondo Restaurant

Nero Tondo, committed to celebrating British Columbia’s organic produce and seasonal ingredients, is an intimate restaurant with only 18 seats. The two co-founders and chefs are alumni of zero-waste kitchen Acorn, where they honed their vegetable-forward knowledge and philosophy.

Nero Tondo’s menu showcases their mastery of seasonal produce. The plates are modern, and flavours are layered with interesting components such as the lobster mushroom seasoning used in the tempura squash, paired with Blue Hubbard squash and elderflower ponzu.
