Q4 opened in 1994 to unanimous critical acclaim and the awards continue. Year after year being recognized with an Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator. Located in the heart of Kitsilano, Q4 embraces the senses with a dazzling array of colour and texture.

Crimson washed walls, rustic wrought iron chandeliers and candlelight cast a glow upon rich mahogany tables and a beautiful hand painted floor. At the heart of the Q4 experience is exceptional cuisine from Central Italy prepared by executive chef, Bradford Ellis.
