Specializing in cocktails, mocktails and dishes daily into the night. Good Thief is a reinterpretation of Vietnamese culture and innovative culinary artistry giving them new life in a modern menu of cocktails and “món nhậu”. 

Inspired by global travels and a relentless pursuit of novel ideas, Good Thief embodies the spirit of a modern-day Robin Hood – taking inspiration from ingredients, cooking techniques, and dishes from around the world and cleverly marrying them in the spirit of community. Under the creative direction of co-founders Vincent Nguyễn and Amelie Thuy Nguyễn, Good Thief is more than just a place to eat and drink; it’s a destination for lively conversation and cultural exchange. 

I had a chance to explore much of the menu and my favourites were the Six Inch Yellow spirit-free as well as Hoi An Nights cocktail.

On the food side of the menu, my favourites were Pommes Frite with curry leaf, Crudo, Beet, Zucchini, Halibut and the Almondine cake dessert.

The restaurant features a stellar team, Ashlee Jarvis as General Manager, Ben Kingstone as Beverage Director, and Jonathan Lee, formerly of Blue Water Cafe as Chef de Cuisine and Brent Thornton as Sous Chef.

Good Thief is located at 3336 Main Street in Vancouver. You can follow them on instagram @goodthief.ca
