4 Best Austrian Restaurants in Vancouver

Tenen Restaurant serves Eastern European specialties in a cosy, antiques-filled room with a back patio. Meat-focused diners can choose dishes including chicken, beef, sausage, bacon, lamb, cabbage rolls and generous meat platters, alongside creamy sauces, rice, potatoes and bread.

The restaurant suits shared meals and diners exploring Balkan-style cuisine, with Krempita among the dessert choices. The indoor dining area is small, while the back patio offers a quieter setting when weather permits.

Jägerhof Restaurant serves hearty dishes from Germany, Austria and Switzerland in North Vancouver, with live music on weekends. Schnitzel, haxen, charcuterie and meat-focused dishes suit diners seeking Central European comfort food, while cheese and meat samplers can start a meal shared with family or friends. The restaurant’s cosy setting and scheduled music create a more festive occasion for gatherings and special meals rather than a purely quick dining stop.

Bacchus Restaurant & Lounge offers European-inspired fine dining, afternoon tea, cocktails and wine in the Wedgewood Hotel’s ornate, old-world setting. Its menu spans breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, grill dishes, desserts and a summer tasting menu, with fresh regional ingredients and sustainably sourced seafood featured in the restaurant’s description. Afternoon tea brings savouries, scones, pastries and sweets, while the lounge adds a piano-bar atmosphere. The restaurant suits special occasions, afternoon gatherings and dinners centred on European cuisine. Dining-room reservations are for guests ordering from the Fine Dining Menu, while lounge seating is first come, first served.

Deutsches Haus, part of the Vancouver Alpen Club, is a German restaurant and community venue built around classic German food and beer. Its setting suits diners looking for Bavarian-style dishes, German beers and steins, with platters and traditional staples forming the core of the experience. The venue also offers event programming such as Oktoberfest and function-room bookings through the club.

The Alpen Club is undergoing redevelopment, with a new restaurant and club space planned for late summer 2027. Its current status and dining arrangements therefore differ from those of a continuously operating restaurant. The venue remains relevant to people following Vancouver’s German cultural community and the club’s future reopening.
