A new listening bar called Amber has quietly opened its doors in Vancouver, and it\u2019s encouraging folks to slow down and stay a while.<\/p>\n
The restaurant is inspired by the Japanese kissa lounge tradition, featuring an intimate space that the restaurant says \u201cinvites you to slow down, listen deeply, and savour a thoughtfully crafted Pacific Northwest menu.\u201d The restaurant also shared that it will only be spinning vinyl, played on vintage hifi to create that warm and rounded sound worth listening to closely.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether you\u2019re here for food, the music or simply the atmosphere, Amber offers something rare: a place where every detail, from the plate to playlist, is intentional,\u201d wrote the restaurant.<\/p>\n
As for the menu, you can find plenty of bites cooked up by Chef Ryan Mills. Think small plates like\u00a0Sablefish\u00a0served with pea velout\u00e8, charred scallions, foraged morels, and pickled sea asparagus, or\u00a0\u201cChicken Fried\u201d Spot Prawns\u00a0with meyer lemon aioli, in addition to more substantial options\u00a0like\u00a0Steamed Mussels\u00a0with spring garlic and coconut broth and\u00a0Ricotta Gnudi\u00a0with corn cream, bacon, morels, and Pecorino Romano.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s also a selection of house cocktails to enjoy, including the\u00a0Barbados\u00a0(House grapefruit cordial, Patr\u00f3n Silver, Tanqueray Sevilla, and fresh lemon juice) and Pepi (Hendrick\u2019s, cucumber juice, jalape\u00f1o syrup, Ancho Reyes, and celery juice topped with jalape\u00f1o wine and garnished with an oyster).<\/p>\n
