__________________________ Shaughnessy Restaurant     Oak Street and 37th Avenue Free parking Wheelchair accessible Reservations:     604-261-0011     email us About Us Shaughnessy Restaurant is located only minutes from downtown Vancouver, but upon arrival, it's as though you've entered another world. 55 acres of vast year-round gardens, representing the northern and southern hemispheres await you and drench your dining experience in colour and beauty. The renowned VanDusen Botanical Garden is a must see for visitors to Vancouver and residents alike. We named the restaurant after two Vancouver landmarks - the old golf course that was on the VanDusen Botanical Garden site in the 40s and 50s, and the surrounding neighbourhood, Shaughnessy. The restaurant appropriately reflects the tradition and distinction of both areas during that era. We teamed with several renowned interior designers to create the airy, yet intimate ambiance and décor of the restaurant. The slate and wood floor reclaimed from a 1910 warehouse adds old-world charm and warmth. Intimate booths line the back wall and are peered down upon by a large, beautiful Rhododendron painting. French doors provide the opportunity for a private group dining room while maintaining the bright, openness of the restaurant. White shingles on the walls, ample skylights, and potted plants bring the lush Botanical Garden indoors, while floor-to-ceiling sheer drape swaths add drama, elegance and intimacy to the room. Countless windows overlook the lushness of the VanDusen Botanical Garden during the day, and the Garden’s twinkling lights at night. An exquisite heated patio allows guests to sit amid banana trees, exotic plants, and fountains while enjoying their meal – also a perfect spot for an evening cocktail party or afternoon wedding reception. The menu, created by Chef David William Grimshaw, perfectly complements the surroundings - innovative, contemporary, and West Coast. Only the highest quality local ingredients are selected to serve - many of the organic vegetables come from the Garden itself. Changing with the seasons, the menu reflects the fresh produce, meats and fish plentiful at that time. Special group menus are available and can be created for the unique needs of any group or event.
