It’s finally June time in April.
And Cambie Village just got a whole lot hotter with its new addition.
After months of anticipation (and a few delays—classic Vancouver opening energy), June is officially here.
The sleek, brasserie-inspired spot from the same award-winning crew behind The Keefer Bar will officially open and begin pouring, starting April 10.
(soft open phase will be April 4 – 9)
Back in July, we first shared the news about June moving into the old Biercraft unit on Cambie.
Now, nearly a year later, the two-level restaurant-meets-cocktail-haven is ready to welcome Vancouverites with open arms and clinking glasses.
Upstairs, you’ll find French-inspired West Coast fare that’s elevated but not too serious.
Think: scallops in citrus beurre blanc, beef tartare with calvados and chips, and halibut in saffron and spring veggies.
And yes, steak frites made the cut.
They’re also serving some cheeky snacks for happy hour and late-night cravings like mini ham sandwiches (aka Mini Hammies) and a June Dog.
Helming the kitchen is Connor Sperling, who’s flexed his skills at Published on Main and Boulevard, so yeah, your taste buds are in very capable hands.
Downstairs (coming soon), expect a cocktail program that’s as vibey as the lighting.
Led by Amber Bruce, Satoshi Yonemori (prev. Grapes & Soda), and Riley Maggs, the drink lineup brings the botanical drama with French-Japanese twists.
Get ready for creations like the Genmaicha Clover Club or the neon-hued Blue Fizz with blue banana and calpico.
Yes, blue banana is a real thing.
So is their exclusive craft ice program.
The downstairs bar is still under wraps, but when it opens, it promises to bring those late-night Keefer-style feels to Cambie.
Inside, it’s giving moody, sexy Paris meets West Coast chic.
Mexico City-based architect Héctor Esrawe transformed the space with green ceramic tiles, copper accents, a wrap-around wood ceiling, and a glowing copper art installation that kind of makes you feel like you walked into an Art Deco greenhouse with martinis.
It’s intimate, it’s vibey, it’s got just the right amount of design flex.
For now, June is open for dinner seven nights a week from 5 p.m. till late, with limited reservations available online.
