Welcome to The Refinery. At almost a year old, this unique Granville hotspot has quickly climbed to one of the most recognizable restaurants on Granville Street. Designed by Marilou and May of Vancouver based M-Studio, our completely sustainable space practices an environmentally friendly concept, while reducing our carbon foot-print. Experience a new world eatery with a cozy, warm, old world feel. Our room was designed with the environment in mind, and uses sustainable materials like LED lighting and energy efficient equipment. Committing to a sustainable work environment as well, we have made it priority to get our business operations on the same page - a dedicated bicycle storage area and public transit subsidy are examples of how we are trying to limit our contribution to detrimental emissions.
The Refinery is a food primary restaurant, with a strong focus on dynamic BC and worldly wines, eclectic beers and unique cocktails. With a 75-seat capacity, the Refinery houses Granville Streets only fresh, market-style-eatery. Chef Michael Carter takes pride in introducing elements of charcuterie, cheese culture, cured and fresh seafood, fresh breads, antipasti and all things market fresh to the Granville scene. General Manager and award-winning mixologist Lauren Mote promotes “Healthy Vitality” with her cocktail program, using mostly homemade ingredients, including British Columbia’s largest collection of homemade bitters. The Refinery will maintain a majority of local high quality products wherever possible, whether locally sourced or abroad. We will always deliver value and exemplary service as part of our goal.
We expect our guests to share. Share food, drink and celebrations but more importantly ideas, stories and laughs. A traditional, yet unique, menu and atmosphere will create a sense of ‘belonging’ for locals and tourists alike. At The Refinery we are providing an environment that allows our guests to feel carefree and full of life. Giving people the sense gathering in a small village in Europe, while being in their own backyard.
