Tapenade Bistro has been honoured with many positive reviews over the years. Though there are too many to post and link on this page, here are some of the highlights.
“Chef Alex Tung and owner Vince Morlet have both had long and distinguished careers in the Canadian restaurant industry, but they decided to really make their mark in Steveston.” “Many restaurants talk about consistency - consistency in service, atmosphere and food. Not all can live up to that claim. However, Tapeande Bistro in Steveston delivers every time.” “A perpetually sunny Steveston room no matter the weather outside or your mood, with inventive Mediterranean inspired food built from fresh and local ingredients.” “In the Best of Richmond feature in this paper several weeks ago, Chef Tung placed first in the Best Chef category. As well, Tapenade was honoured and humbled by the fact that the Readers’ Poll placed them first in Best Brunch and Best Fine Dining, second in Best Place to go on a First Date, Best Dessert, Best Place to Take Out-of-Town Guests, and third in Best Wine Selection. Phew. Both Morlet and Tung say that to be honoured in that many categories is a testament to their staff.” “Tapenade Bistro offers many dishes on par with the haute cuisine of any high-end Vancouver restaurants – but at neighborhood prices.” "A chef that’s truly passionate about cooking and actually hands on in the kitchen. That makes for major bonus points in my books." "Tapenade owner Vince Morlet and chef Alex Tung. The Steveston restaurant won a whopping five categories in the Best of Richmond Readers’ Poll and placed in four others." "Transport you to the Mediterranean through the authentic (with a twist) menu at this charming and elegant room. Chef Alex Tung’s house-made gnocchi with fresh mozzarella, basil, and warm sun-dried tomato vinaigrette is perfectly textured." |

"The service is personal and warm: If owner Vince Morlet is in the house, he personally greets each guest at the door. Tapenade is known for its inventive Mediterranean-inspired food built from fresh and local ingredients. Its longtime executive chef, Alex Tung, never takes himself seriously and he is forever reinventing old favourites and putting his own unique stamp on them." "Situated in the heart of Steveston, Tapenade is the intersection of robust Mediterranean flavours, precise French cooking techniques, and the freshest local ingredients that BC can offer." "This urban bistro in the heart of Steveston Village is just a stone's throw away from Fisherman's Warf. Warm, mango-colored walls and cascading draperies seem to transport you into a Mediterranean villa." "While Steveston may be known for it’s fish and chips, there is a fine dining scene worth the journey." "Most people associate Steveston with fish and chips, but Tapenade Bistro is quietly turning out much more creative, refined seafood." "Perhaps on my way, I’ll stop at Tapenade in Steveston Village and see what new delights Chef Alex Tung is dishing up. With chefs like these, you can count on finding something tasty—and sustainable." |
