Premium coffees, Lot 35 teas, fresh-pressed juices, smoothies, and handcrafted cocktails are available to further enhance your experience. This reimagined format allows our culinary team to focus on precision, seasonality, and elevated presentation — delivering a more intimate and sophisticated Sunday ritual while preserving the celebratory spirit Notch8 is known for.

    Another lovely lunch together with a dear friend in comfortable surroundings. What made the experience especially wonderful was to see the staff. Trisha took great care of us. And it was quiet enough for conversation.

    The brunch menu has been changed from a buffet to more of an a la carte. I much prefer the buffet approach for Sunday brunch. Also, the TV was playing soccer matches. I appreciate that the World Cup is on but Notch8 is not a sports bar. If I had wanted Sunday brunch in a sports bar, I would have have chosen somewhere else. Only positive was that the service we received was very good. The food was also good but not what I expected for Sunday brunch.
    Notch8Responded on June 16, 2026
    Dear Ian, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While I’m pleased to hear you enjoyed both the food and the service, I’m sorry the overall brunch experience did not align with your expectations. I understand your disappointment regarding the transition from our traditional buffet format, particularly if that was a key reason for your visit. I also appreciate your comments regarding the World Cup broadcasts. While many guests have enjoyed following the tournament, I understand that others visit Notch8 seeking a more traditional brunch atmosphere, and your feedback is valuable as we work to strike the right balance. Thank you again for your candid comments. Warm regards, Nicholas Hall Director of Food & Beverage Fairmont Hotel Vancouver

    Not one would expect from the flagship restaurant of THE historic hotel in Vancouver. Setting and atmosphere a bit too casual. Quite a let down...
    Notch8Responded on June 9, 2026
    Dear Ernest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am sorry to learn that your experience did not meet your expectations. While our goal is to create a warm and approachable atmosphere, I appreciate that the overall setting and experience felt too casual for your expectations. If you would be willing to share any additional details regarding what specifically felt lacking, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to review them with our team. Feedback such as yours helps us better understand where we can improve. Thank you again for your comments, and I hope to hear from you. Warm regards, Nicholas Hall Director of Food & Beverage Fairmont Hotel Vancouver

    The staff, from the hostess to the waitress, demonstrated exceptional accommodation and friendliness. The cuisine we ordered was of high quality; however, the steaks contained an excessive amount of peppercorns, though they were ultimately satisfying. The mussels and veal were prepared to perfection. Our desserts were thoroughly enjoyed and met our expectations.

    Dear Julie, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m delighted to hear that our team, from the hostess to your server, made you feel welcomed and well cared for throughout your visit.

Thank you again for your kind comments and for recognizing our team's efforts. We look forward to welcoming you back to Notch8 again soon.

    Amazing vibe and even better food. Wine list was disappointing - if you’re into reds it’s lacking but just ok. Service started out strong and weened off. Not sure what happened. Didn’t ask if we wanted more wine (guess I was cut off at 1 glass 😂). Also waters were not filled and had to ask - still didn’t. The live music was actually great and the right level 🎶🎸 Over all I would go again the food and atmosphere make up for service. That can change every visit.
    Notch8Responded on May 26, 2026
    Dear Kelli, Thank you for your feedback. I’m delighted to hear you enjoyed the atmosphere, live music, and especially the food during your visit. I also appreciate your candid comments regarding the wine list and service consistency. While I’m pleased the evening started strongly, service should remain attentive throughout, particularly when it comes to wine service and water refills. Your feedback has been shared with our leadership team for review. We are in the process of launching a new wine program which as a red wine drinker, we think you'll enjoy! Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Warm regards, Nicholas Hall Director of Food & Beverage Fairmont Hotel Vancouver
