Vancouver's premier fine dining destination in the Rosewood Hotel Georgia. Chef David Hawksworth showcases Pacific Northwest ingredients with refined technique and elegant presentation.
Hawksworth Restaurant occupies the grand dining room of the Rosewood Hotel Georgia on West Georgia Street in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, and has held its position as one of the city's premier fine dining destinations since opening in 2011. Chef David Hawksworth trained in London under Marco Pierre White and at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons before returning to his native Vancouver to champion Pacific Northwest ingredients in a classically influenced contemporary idiom. The menu changes seasonally and showcases wild BC halibut, spot prawns, foraged mushrooms, and premium Alberta beef. The dining room itself is among the most impressive in Vancouver — high ceilings, warm lighting, rich wood panelling, and an open kitchen that allows glimpses of the brigade at work. The bar programme is equally accomplished, featuring an extensive selection of British Columbia wines and a cocktail list that draws from local spirits. Hawksworth is favoured for business dinners, celebrations, and special occasions, with a service team that matches the elegance of the space. The lunch menu offers a less expensive introduction to the kitchen's style, with a condensed selection of the same quality ingredients.
