About Us

A superior dish begins with the finest ingredients. Our menu creation process commences with the meticulous sourcing of premium ingredients from both local and international suppliers. Collaborating with renowned chefs from around the world – including Italy, Japan, China, the United States, and our home country, Canada – ensures that our ingredient-driven menus strike a harmonious balance between global inspiration and local appeal. This approach allows us to offer a uniquely creative fusion menu that caters to the diverse palate of Vancouver's multicultural community.

​

At Hestia, founded by individuals with backgrounds in physics, we place a strong emphasis on experimentation and testing to continually improve our offerings. We believe that rigorous testing is essential to determine what works best. To this end, we introduce test dishes in every seasonal menu and use customer feedback to refine them. Additionally, our lab programs allow patrons to participate in menu testing at a break-even cost, encouraging them to share their ideas and thoughts on the dishes slated for our upcoming menus.
