Elephant & Castle Pub & Restaurant

I visited this restaurant during my last trip to Vancouver. It is conveniently located within walking distance from the Marriott Pinnacle hotel where I was staying.

I can't stop thinking about the Shepherd's Pie from this amazing modern pub even after four months.

I was not impressed with the restaurant at all. The layout is strange and the tall chairs are not very comfortable.

It's a pub! It's big, open, airy, lots of bar seating. Lots of gorgeous large TVs. The menu and food are exactly what we'd expect at any pub. We had the jalapeño Mac n cheese and French dip. Both came with greens. Both were very good. Nothing spectacular or noteworthy for sure, but very tasty with nice portions at a very reasonable price. What more could you ask for from a pub? The + was meeting our Bronx Bomber Bartender Bobby-Jo who was a total delight. We wish her the very best. Do yourself a favor, sit at the bar and ask for Bobby-Jo and strike up a conversation. When you are thousands of miles away from the South and you meet a Bobby-Jo it's always a good night.

This Pub/Restaurant is well located on Burrard Street in Downtown Vancouver, literally directly on the walk down to Canada Place. We ate of the bar menu, which was good and reasonably priced. I had a Giant filled Yorkshire Pudding with mash - it was lush. There was a lovely ambience, the place was clean and the staff were friendly. For those sports enthusiasts, there were several TV screens on the wall showing different sporting events. When we return to Vancouver in 2018, we will definitely come back here to eat!!
