    Location: 1130 Mainland Street, Vancouver, BC

    With the Canada line build-out in full swing, Yaletown’s Mainland Street has been under construction for awhile. Finally that construction has paid off; r.tl, short for regional tasting lounge, is in a soft-open stage. Its door is at 1130 Mainland, just down from Goldfish Pacific.

    r. tl features small plates with regional themes. There will always be a BC coastal theme and Chef Erik Smith will rotate another two themes from various geographical points, with about five dishes from each region and some chef’s daily specials.

    Sommelier Alain Canuel's state of the art wine system that will allow him to preserve the restaurant’s open wine longer, allowing him to list 30 reds and whites by the glass. The wine program follows the same regional theme that the chef’s cuisine focuses on and will be available in smaller tasting glasses and flights. Non-wine drinkers can appreciate an innovative cocktail program.

    The room has 50 seats with bar seating and moveable banquettes. -C.A.

    Currently in soft-open stage.
