As a longtime steak enthusiast and Vancouver local, I was thrilled to hear about Chef Lee expanding Stackhouse Steakhouse into Gastown. The emphasis on a streamlined menu featuring classics like the sous vide flat iron steak sandwich with chimichurri is a refreshing take on comfort food. I’ve found that the sous vide technique Chef Lee uses really elevates the flavor and texture, making the steak tender and juicy. What makes this spot stand out is how it balances simplicity with gourmet quality. The menu’s focus means you’re always getting expertly cooked dishes without being overwhelmed by choices. Also, the inclusion of steak tartar with pickles, crushed capers, and cornichons adds a unique, tangy crunch that complements the richness of the meat wonderfully. Visiting both locations—on Davie Street and now Gastown—I've noticed the welcoming atmosphere that makes it a great spot for both family dinners and casual meetings with friends. If you’re in Vancouver and appreciate expertly crafted steak sandwiches with quality ingredients, Stackhouse Steakhouse is definitely worth a visit. Plus, their commitment, inspired in part by Chef Lee’s personal shift from Korean cuisine to French-influenced steak dishes, adds a compelling story behind each bite.
