Hawksworth Restaurant

Hawksworth Restaurant, contemporary Canadian cuisine in Vancouver

Hawksworth Restaurant opened its doors in 2011 inside the Rosewood Hotel Georgia in Vancouver, and since then it has established itself among the city's most recognized restaurants. Its cuisine is defined as contemporary Canadian and is ingredient-led, with a classical foundation and local and international suppliers. The dining room, reimagined by Studio Munge, is organized into three distinct spaces: the cocktail bar and lounge, the Pearl Room, and the Art Room.

A menu signed by David Hawksworth

The menus are conceived by Canadian Chef David Hawksworth together with Executive Chef Sylvain Assie and Pastry Chef Marissa Gonzalez. The offering combines bold flavours and technically executed dishes, with a balance between nostalgia and a modern, distinctly West Coast sensibility. The offering includes an à la carte menu, a Business Lunch menu, The Shared Table, Sunday Roast, Cocktail Hour, and special dinners such as the Thanksgiving Dinner, described as a multi-course dinner to gather and celebrate.

Wine and cocktail program

The award-winning wine list is deep and global, carefully selected to deliver value and quality. The sommelier team advises diners both on finding their usual references and on discovering new varietals and producers. The restaurant has its own cocktail program and a daily Cocktail Hour from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, with limited seating available, lounge only.

Private dining and events

The restaurant has private dining for groups of up to 50 guests. The events offering ranges from three-course luncheons to weddings, cocktail parties, or multi-course dinners, with experiences tailored to each occasion. It also offers gift cards and a cookbook, Hawksworth: The Cookbook, signed by David Hawksworth with Stephanie Noel and Jacob Richler and a foreword by Chef Philip Howard, with a listed price of CAD 45.00.

History and accolades

In its opening year it was named Restaurant of the Year, and its subsequent history includes repeated presence in the MICHELIN Guide and in La Liste's list of the world's 1,000 best restaurants. Among the accolades received are No. 66 in Canada's 100 Best (2025), the Vancouver International Wine Festival Platinum Award for excellence of its wine program (2023, 2024 and 2025), the award for North America's Best Hotel Restaurant at the World Culinary Awards (2024), and the award for World's Best Business Class Lounge Dining at the Skytrax (2024). The restaurant itself presents itself as one of Vancouver's most acclaimed dining destinations.

The group and the chef's other activities

David Hawksworth also leads the concepts Nightingale, presented as Canada's best farm to table restaurant, and Bel Café. Since 2015 he has also been culinary partner to Air Canada, for which he creates signature dishes destined for International Business Class and Signature Lounges.
