Indigo

A GuestLife Vancouver
Great Restaurant

At Indigo, adjacent to the spectacular lobby at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre Hotel, accommodating service is a fine art — and The Art of a Fine Hotel surrounds you in both menu and décor. A bustling Burrard Street corner through muted picture windows juxtaposes the scene within as Indigo soothes the senses, with its splendid surroundings and delicious West Coast tastes, brought brilliantly together by Executive Chef Andrew Court and Restaurant Chef Tony Crisafi.

At lunch, as you savour grilled paillard tenderloin, or other clever dishes, you will be fascinated by the colours and textures around you. Notice the art, the vibrant touches that make it all so sensually rewarding. Notice the blue lights in the slate gray wall.

Return for dinner — you choice might be the sesame tempura crusted ahi tuna, an Indigo favourite — and in the evening light the same wall glimmers with the restaurant’s namesake hue.

“The wall is painted in multiple layers,” says Director of Sales and Marketing James Colistro. “Different colours shine through, depending on the time of day and the light that illuminates it.”

Another stimulating element is the fun, funky, open-kitchen bistro moderne, where the art of the chef is highlighted in full view. More? The patterned, sculpted exterior windows of frosted glass, resembling champagne ice, waves upward into clear panes. Deceptively clear, no outsider can see in. For diners, the night view mutes to a discreet navy.

The seating at Indigo is a warm rainbow of crimson, violet, lemon and avocado. Dramatic scarlet and yellow screens flame up here and there between the tables; and dramatic glassworks glow brilliantly.

The buoyant eclecticism of design is reflected in the menu. “We’re versatile,” says Fernando Gougain, Director of Food, Beverage Outlets. “A casual, spontaneous feel, but at the same time very professional.”

“Our strong West Coast ingredient influence comes from our Vancouver base. International visitors, who return again and again, find it consistently appealing.” Invariably these visitors inquire about Indigo’s prominent selection of B.C. wines and welcome tastings. For the dinner experience, neighbouring Yaletown brings a variety of urban diners. The endless variety of Pacific seafood, the harvests of the Fraser Valley’s farms. All presented in a room that constantly delights. All part of the intriguing moods of Indigo.
