About The Corner Stone Bistro
For Pemberton Heights residents, the easiest test of a new neighbourhood restaurant is whether it makes the short walk down from Marine Drive feel like an event, and the Corner Stone Bistro manages that on a Wednesday evening as well as anywhere on the North Shore. Tucked into a quiet stretch of West 22nd Street, the bistro sits within a five minute drive of Capilano Bridge, Edgemont Village, and Lynn Canyon, which puts it at the crossroads of three very different North Vancouver weekend routines. The menu leans Mexican, with a short list of dishes that read like a careful answer to what the surrounding neighbourhoods actually want to eat.
The plates are the kind of thing that work as well for a family dinner as for a casual date, with two toasted ciabatta molletes filled with beans, cochinita pibil, and greens sitting alongside a Baja taco built on crispy corn battered white fish, fresh homemade pico de gallo, and chili mayo. Avocado toast and a grilled cheese that can be ordered with chicken, mushroom, or beef keep the kids happy, while the molcajete brings the heat: choose your protein, add cheese, bell pepper, avocado, and a variety of sauces, served with tortillas. Papa rellena rounds things out with mashed potatoes, cheese, cream, and a protein of choice.
The drinks program is set up around a quirk of BC liquor rules, and the bistro reminds customers that any food order taken off site can be paired with alcohol to go, which makes the place one of the easier weeknight dinner pivots in the area. Between the families cycling in from the Highlands, the couples walking over after a Lynn Valley hike, and the regulars who have made the bistro their standing Friday stop, Corner Stone has quietly become a small anchor for Pemberton Heights dining.
