Cactus Club in English Bay

Cactus Club Cafe on Urbanspoon

The place was packed since it was Valentines Day. We were told that the wait would be 20 minutes, so we were surprised that we were seated in about 5 minutes.
We had the last quiet table downstairs, and though we didn’t have the window side, it was still a nice view of English Bay. The interior is well kept with a modern slick look, but not over the top.

Must be Vancouver – chopsticks are one of the utensils offered (without asking)idearabbit-cactusclub_englishbay5

Sheepie ordered the Mini Burger which comes with 3 mini burgers stuffed with certified angus beef®, cheddar, alder smoked bacon and red pepper relish. It was quite delicious with flavourable sauce and love crispy bacon.

idearabbit-cactusclub_englishbay3I had the Tuna Tataki (seared ocean wise™ albacore, papaya slaw, pine nuts in yuzu vinaigrette). The tuna was really soft and fresh. Eat bite was heaven!

idearabbit-cactusclub_englishbay4The Crispy Yam Fries were really good with the garlic aioli. I’m in love with fries that are garlicky! LOL
Our server was very professional and pleasant, despite the restaurant being extremely busy.
It was a good experience, and would be a nice place to bring your out-of-town friends in the summer when you’re in the English Bay area.
