Beautiful setting surrounded with flower garden and vegetable field!
Such relaxed feeling sitting outside sipping wine while hearing birds chirping.

Their food was indeed fresh, unique, and delicious! We had eggplants that melted in our mouth, gnocchi with crispy edge, and soft and juicy beef we savoured every bite.

Wine list was excellent, well thought out to match and balance their veggie forward menu. Wish I had space for a cocktail as well.
Every host and server was friendly, capable, and thoughtful. Very highly recommended!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and opted for the chef’s tasting menu. Each dish was a delightful surprise, with unique flavors and beautiful presentations. The highlight of the evening was the salmon—it was perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor, easily one of the best I’ve had (I forgot to take a picture of 😬). The attention to detail in every course was impressive, with creative combinations that kept me excited for what was coming next. The ambiance was cozy yet elegant. fantastic dining experience for anyone looking to explore innovative cuisine.

We held our monthly book club here and what a beautiful location. The gazebos were intimate and the staff was top notch. The food was fresh and we loved that everything was locally sourced. One of the best meals I have ever had. 100% recommend.

Unforgettable birthday dinner for my wife. Our reservation was for 5:15 and it was pouring rain, however we had the most incredible time and the weather only added to the experience. We were warm under the patio heaters and they also supplied blankets for my wife.

Exceptional service and a visit from the chef was a nice touch. Everyone is extremely knowledgeable about the menu and entire process that goes into the operation. The staff were extremely attentive and the service was the best we've had in a long time. Refreshing to see again!

We will be back again for more!

I’m surprised at how under the radar Sunflower Cafe is because this was such an amazing experience! It was true farm to table fine dining. I was so impressed with the food quality and presentation, the top-notch service and the super cute atmosphere! I definitely plan on coming back and introducing new people to this gem.

We went to the Sunflower Cafe based on a recommendation by a friend. We visited there last week and we were not disappointed. The setting is quite unique in a charming tent-like setting adjacent to the farm. Despite its simplicity, it is an inviting and warm environment. We opted for the tasting menu with the matching wine pairing.
After a refreshing Cucumber Amuse-bouche, we were presented with a delicious tomato salad, followed by a variety of wonderful wild mushrooms.
Our first main course was a Salmon Filet, served with a delightfully crisp skin while still maintaining a moist and perfectly cooked centre
The Beef Tenderloin that followed was cooked to perfection and melt-in-your-mouth tender.
After a Chocolate Amuse-bouche, we ended the meal with a choice of desserts. It was impossible to pick a favourite out of the selection of Carrot Cake with Salted caramel gelato and carrot frosting, or the Sticky Toffee Pudding.
Our service was very good, the wine paring made sense, and the whole experience was very enjoyable.
A couple of improvements could be made by ensuring the hot items are served at a warmer temperature than they were. Also, servers should have an in-depth knowledge of the history and philosophy of the restaurant as one of the main reasons for the visit was to partake in a true Farm-to-Table experience.
Overall, we found this to be a wonderful find in the Lower Mainland and without a doubt will return.

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem. One of the best restaurants I’ve ever had the pleasure of dining at.

The food is Michelin star quality and each dish is meticulously executed to perfection. To say I was speechless is understatement.

Instead of farm to table, they bring the tables to the farm! Ingredients are grown on their farm or locally sourced. The menu changes depending on what’s in season.

We went for our anniversary on Sunday, even though it was raining the outside tent was warm and comfortable. The staff went above and beyond to make our anniversary an unforgettable experience.

Here are some photos from last night + the few other times we have been on sunny days. They have outdoor gazebos that are great for larger groups or date nights!
