Intro
The Red Accordion is one of the hidden restaurants in Coal Harbour where you can enjoy a romantic meal.
The interior is dimly lit with warm candles, creating a relaxed and calm atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re in the cozy living room of a charming red house. And the patio is bright, so it’s a great place to enjoy brunch or drinks on a sunny day too.
Here is a cozy farm-to-table place that uses fresh, local ingredients. Whether you love food, craft beer, cocktails, or wine, you’ll feel right at home with their warm, creative dishes.
I want to share my thoughts and my Korean boyfriend’s too, I hope you find them helpful :）
コールハーバーでロマンチックな食事ができる隠れ家的レストラン。店内は暗めの照明とキャンドルが置かれていて、一軒家のリビングの延長にいるような、まったり落ち着いた雰囲気。パティオは明るいのでお天気の日はブランチやお酒を楽しむのも◎。店内に飾られたアートコレクションもユニークで面白いです。
お料理は「A cozy farm-to-table restaurant」とホームページにある通り、農家や生産者から直接仕入れた食材を使っていて、家庭的かつモダンカジュアルな創作料理を楽しめます。
私の感想と韓国人の彼からの感想をそれぞれ書いていますので、是非参考にして頂けたら嬉しいです。

Taste
All the dishes were even more delicious than I expected.
First, I ordered a lager beer called Vancouver Island Brewing Islander Lager. It had a light, and refreshing taste with bitterness, making it very easy to drink! It was $8 for 16oz.
お料理はどれも期待以上に美味しかったです。
まず最初にオーダーしたのがVancouver Island Brewing Islander Lagerというラガービール。苦みが少なくすっきりとした味で、とても飲みやすい！たっぷり16ozで8ドルなのでお財布にも優しいです。
We ordered two main dishes, homemade gnocchi and a burger. But there was a mix-up during our order, and we got homemade gnocchi and coconut curry instead. The staff kindly offered to prepare the burger, but we decided to try the coconut curry, and it turned out to be incredibly delicious! Thank you to the staff for this happy accident!
The coconut curry was filled with mussels, perfectly spiced, and creamy with coconut. The fried bread that came with it was so good that we even asked for more! It has a fragrant flavor and is oily but doesn’t have any oil smell, making it a flavor you can eat endlessly. We dipped it in the curry until it was finished.
そしてメインを2品。自家製ニョッキとハンバーガーをオーダーしたところ注文中に聞き間違いがあったようで、運ばれてきたのは自家製ニョッキとココナッツカレーでした笑
店員さんがすぐにハンバーガーを用意すると提案してくださいましたが、新しい料理にも挑戦してみたく、そのままココナッツカレーを頂くことに。なんとこれが非常に、非常に美味しかったです笑
店員さん、幸せなハプニングをありがとう！
ムール貝がぎっしり詰まったココナッツカレーは辛すぎず程よいスパイス感とココナッツのクリーミーさが癖になる美味しさでした。
そして付け合わせの揚げパン（揚げたフォカッチャ）が美味しすぎてお代わりまで。オイリーだけど油の嫌な匂いではなく香ばしい匂いとほんのり甘いので無限に食べられる味。
最後の最後までココナッツカレーにディップして頂きました笑
The homemade gnocchi was also very tasty.
I particularly like chewy texture and creamy things so I often order gnocchi when I go to restaurants, and this was one of the best I’ve had.
It was really creamy and satisfying. The volume of each gnocchi was big and it was so good that you could enjoy the taste of the chewy texture and smooth, not powder-ish. Additionally, the combination of the gnocchi and the plump lobster was amazing. I’ll definitely order it again!
自家製ニョッキもかなりの美味しさでした。
私はもちもちしたものが特に好きなのでレストランに行くとよくニョッキを注文しますが、今まで食べた中で一番食べ応えのあるニョッキでした。
ボリューム感ともちもち感がしっかりあり、とにかくクリーミーでとっても美味しい。ごろっとしたニョッキとプリプリなロブスターの組み合わせが最高でした。リピート確定！
For dessert, we shared a creme brulee. A little large plate was a good size for sharing with two people.
It was not too sweet, so I felt it was a little unsatisfying for someone with a sweet tooth, but I think it was light enough that even people who don’t like sweet things could enjoy it. I felt this lightness was gentle for my stomach and made it enjoyable until the end after eating a lot of fried bread.
There were two desserts on the menu, creme brulee and chocolate brownie, so next time I’d like to try the brownie 🙂
最後にデザートにクリームブリュレ。
大きめのお皿で2人でシェアするのにもちょうどいいサイズ感でした。
甘さ控えめなので甘党の私には少し物足りない感じがしましたが、甘いものが得意じゃない人もペロっと食べれる軽さでした。揚げパンをたくさん食べた後にはこのくらいの軽さがお腹にも優しく、食べやすかった気もします笑
デザートメニューは2つあって、クリームブリュレとチョコレートブラウニーなので今度はブラウニーを食べてみたいです:)
Vibe
The restaurant had a cozy, romantic, and homey atmosphere, so I think it’s a great hidden gem for people who want to have a relaxing meal.
During the summer season, almost all restaurants downtown are crowded, and even stylish restaurants like Italian and French restaurants are bustling with people. Red Accordion is about two blocks away from the main street, so you can forget about the hustle and bustle of the city and relax, and here is a great restaurant for anniversaries and other special occasions too.
居心地の良い、ロマンチックでアットホームな雰囲気なので、落ち着いてゆっくりと食事をしたい人にはもってこいの穴場スポットだと思います。
ダウンタウンのレストランは特にサマーシーズンになるとどこも混んでいて、イタリアンやフレンチのようなお洒落なレストランでも沢山の人で賑わっています。メインストリートから2ブロックほど離れたRed Accordionではそんな街中の喧騒を忘れてまったりと過ごすことができるので、記念日なんかにもおすすめのレストランです。
Service
The staff were friendly, kind, and attentive.
They always pay attention to taking care of customers like cleaning up the table. I accidentally blew out the candle on the table with my breath so many times but they would casually light it for me, saying “Oh, you need fire~ :)” (It was embarrassing when the candle went out every time I laughed…)
Although there was a miss order, their response was smart and very sincere!
店員さんはカジュアルな服装で親しみやすく、フレンドリーでした。
さりげない所作がとてもスマートで、机を綺麗にしてくださったり、私が鼻息で何度も机のキャンドルを消してしまい、その度に、「Oh, you need fire!」とさりげなく火をつけてくれました（笑う度にキャンドルが消えて恥ずかしかった…）
メニューの聞き間違いはあったものの、その後の対応はスマートでとっても真摯でした！
Value
The price this time was $95 and with the tip included, it’s over $100, so if you drink more alcohol can get a little pricey, but I think being able to enjoy a romantic atmosphere, drinks, two main dishes, and dessert for $100 for 2 person is not too expensive for a downtown restaurant.
I wouldn’t say it’s affordable, but the atmosphere and food are special and I think it will be a memorable restaurant, so I highly recommend you to go to The Red Accordion♩
今回の価格は9,500円でした。Tipを含めると1万円は越えるので、お酒を沢山飲まれると少し値が張ってしまいますが、ロマンチックな雰囲気と、お酒、メイン2品、デザートを1万円で楽しめるのは、ダウンタウンのレストランの中では高すぎない価格だったと思います。
お手頃、とは言えませんが、、雰囲気とお料理は特別感があって思い出に残るレストランになると思いますので、是非一度訪れてみてください♩

잘 가꾸어진 꽤 오래된 집의 외관마냥, 실내는 정돈된 빈티지한 매력을 느끼게 해주는 곳이다. 식탁은 밸런스가 안 맞아서 기우뚱 거리고, 의자는 잘 못 앉으면 부서질 것 같지만, 훌륭한 서비스와 음식맛으로 매력을 느끼게 해주는 곳.
제육이나 돈까스나 먹을 친구들이랑은 절대 안 갈 곳이나, 첫 데이트나 분위기 있는 데이트를 하고 싶다면 추천 할 만한 레스토랑, 레드 아코디언 입니다.
분위기
차려 입고 가는 하이엔드 모던의 분위기는 아니고, 캐쥬얼하지만 좀 꾸안꾸 했다하는 느낌의 데이트룩으로 즐길수 있는곳.
로컬적인 느낌과 레트로 빈티지를 좋아하는 사람이라면 좋아할 만한 레스토랑.
벽에는 로컬 아티스트들이 그린 그림들을 진열하고 판매도 하는 것으로 알고 있다, 매번 갈때마다 그림이 바뀌었어서, 그림들 또한 꽤 잘 팔리는구나 라고 생각을 한적이 꽤 있다…
