The story
Since opening its doors in 2011, Hawksworth Restaurant has become a Vancouver landmark. Set within the historic Rosewood Hotel Georgia, the dining room was reimagined by Studio Munge into three distinct spaces: a cocktail bar and lounge, the elegant Pearl Room, and the Art Room. The atmosphere is refined yet inviting, a place where the city’s history and a modern West Coast sensibility meet.
The kitchen is led by celebrated Canadian chef David Hawksworth, alongside Executive Chef Sylvain Assie and Pastry Chef Marissa Gonzalez. Chef Hawksworth’s classical training in some of Europe’s most acclaimed Michelin-starred kitchens is evident in every dish. The cuisine is described as ingredient-led contemporary Canadian, firmly rooted in the classics. Menus showcase bold, bright flavours and skillfully executed dishes that balance nostalgia with a distinctly modern feel. The restaurant’s award-winning wine list is deep and global, curated by a knowledgeable sommelier team.
Hawksworth offers a range of experiences to suit different moods, from a weekday business lunch to a Sunday roast dinner with prime rib and Yorkshire pudding. The cocktail hour, held daily in the lounge, is a local favourite. Consistently recognized by the MICHELIN Guide as Recommended, and named one of the world’s best restaurants by La Liste, Hawksworth remains a destination for those seeking refined, genuine hospitality in the heart of Vancouver.
