Little Bird Dim Sum + Craft Beer

Longtime local restaurateur Jonathan Lee's vision of pairing classic dim sum with local B.C. craft beer was the impetus behind Little Bird, and trendy Kitsilano is the ideal home for this hip lair. Inside, it's contemporary cool—the floors, tables and walls are created in part from recycled chopsticks. It's a classic lineup of dim sum favorites. Sticky rice studded with savory pork and chicken and sweet goji berries is a must-order. Of course, there must be dumplings, and Little Bird's run the gamut from traditional (ha gow) to surprising, with sweet corn, cilantro and shrimp. Supremely fresh, savory and served steaming hot, these dumplings are the definition of comfort food. As promised, beer is king here.
