I ordered the mac&beef for take out and there was barely any beef for the price this is a total rip-off. what you get for $26 is a small mac & cheese with a frosting of beef.

What a great little bistro! Excellent food, good wine list, courteous and friendly staff, good service. We'll definitely be back.

This used to be my favorite place for pasta. Just ordered from there and the quality was terrible . My daughters meal was prepared differently than it has been in the past and when she exchanged it for something else they wouldn't refund the $10 difference. I will not be ordering from there again and I will not recommend to anyone i know.

Underrated and the food is incredible my favorite pasta place. Please add more dishes though. Very good customer service always kind. And the atmosphere is cozy and nice. Good for your family will come again. Can be a little pricey though highly recommend it.

Been coming to this place for the last two years. it is my go to pasta place for whenever i am craving pasta. i can assure you, this place is amazing i highly recommend it. The best dishes to get are the garlic bread if you are a garlic lover this is a god send. the next dish would be the seafood spinner absolutely amazing, amazing flavour overall this place doesnt have a bad dish everything is great here service is and always has been really good even when they were renovating. i would give this place a higher rating if i could.

Service was pretty bad while we were there today for a late lunch. We were the only table there. still it was hard to get the waitress’ attention. We weren’t offered ice in our water initially (in a hot day like this??!) and then we ran out of water a few times. My bill came out wrong but at first the waitress was adamant that it was not. I insisted and the waitress went to double check, and it turns out that it was wrong.

Dinner at InGrain was a wonderful experience. Greeted by modern, simple decor and an attentive waitress, I felt welcome at this restaurant. The menu is simple but I believe in the quality of every item on it. You can tell the effort the kitchen goes to make the food so delicious. I loved the pasta, from texture to taste. The sauce was also made excellently, providing an amazing meal. The price is very reasonable for the food and service available here.

Maybe pasta is their thing but two salads we just had were quite shameful - $16 worth of chopped salad leaves and one slice of dry bread which stood for croutons in their Caesar. Yellow beets salad wasn t much better - had maybe half of a beet in the whole full size plate, I wonder what the half portion is

Expensive but delicious. Pasta mac n beef - a creamy cheese sauce with a beef version of pulled pork in top. Pasta seafood spin - not incredible, but a lighter sauce and good amount of seafood. Sandwich pear and swiss - kids loved it. Salad beets - tasty. Total was $68 after tax.

Nov 11, 2022 - Ordered the mac and beef and the spelt spinners. We ordered online for delivery and requested no parsley garnish on the mac and beef. The mac and beef still came with a parsley garnish. The food was good otherwise, if you like parsley. But we dont, so that was disappointing.

Ordered for pickup, fairly late. Pickup time was 7:15. Chicken parm was half burned, the Mac and beef was hardly any beef. Felt like we got the dregs of the day because it was late. Too expensive for what it was.

Updating this 3 years later - the stars remain but now I can add a description. InGrain is an amazing restaurant! They are always accommodating! The food is always top notch! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to find a local business to support. For those who are vegan: try the penne pancetta and ask them to veganize it. I always add mushrooms & extra garlic and it is *chefs kiss* exceptionally delicious! They make their pasta in house too! Thank you so much for all the delicious food! Would love to see more vegan options come to the menu but for now, I will continue veganizing current options. :)

Great pasta, good value! Generous portions, perfectly al dente with tasty creative sauces. Perfect takeout food, unfortunately due to the Pandemic the indoor seating area remains closed. A cozy little table has been set for guests to enjoy dishes outside the shop. Be sure to pickup a bag of the in-house made/dried pasta and make your perfect custom dish at home.

Although their exceptional pasta is available in a lot of local grocery stores now, youd be missing out not to stop by their actual storefront. A hidden gem in North Vancouver, they have a quaint little restaurant inside that serves delicious salads and pasta dishes. Although theyve stopped indoor dining at the moment (due to covid) they are still doing takeout and its the perfect comfort food for these cooler months.

The food here is good, however the Staff and space are not accommodating to families. They only have one high chair for the entire restaurant and today when we went, there was only three tables filled but we had to leave and eat elsewhere as our 18month old toddler had nowwhere to sit. The staff made very little effort to help with a solution when we even brought or own attachable table clamp chair. Unfortunately we wont be going back as we cant risk hungry children and the one high chair being occupied. Very disappointing.

★★★★★

This place is what quality food is about. I loved that they had spelt pasta. Few restaurants would even have a whole grain option. They use kale in the salad rather than boring mixed greens bags from Costco. Their Mac and cheese has real cheese strands rather than cheese sauce. Also tried their sandwiches which are done panini style. While delicious, I m glad I got it with the soup as the sandwich itself is a smaller portion (it s a square sized ciabatta ). Keep it up! I love your style! Reminds me of the quality of food during a recent visit to Copenhagen- healthy, wholesome and delicious!

Is hidden gem to much of a cliche? Not sure, but this place is amazing. Each of my 10 meals there have been top notch. And take-out is also a good way to go. I think they should add Chinotto though... but even with no Chinotto, it still warrants 5 stars

December 22, 2017

People that arrived 15 minutes after us had their order taken and food delivered before anyone took our order. Staff was having a great time chatting and laughing while we sat and waited. And waited. We were just about to leave after 45 minutes and someone finally decided to ask if we wanted to order food - shocking, that someone would wait at a restaurant for 45 minutes and not want to order food... Eventually, food was good, as usual, but that terrible service is enough reason to stay away. No one even asked to take a drink order at any time.

★★★★★

Really helpful and kind front of house staff, food is delicious! Great pasta options and a lovely soup of the day and sandwich combo make this a great place for anything from casual dining to a romantic date night out.

After 5 years of living on the North Shore, I was recently told about Ingrain, and wow, was I late the party! My friend and I ordered two pastas so we could sample each others, after the first bite I was hooked! They make thier pastas in house with the freshest ingredients around. We had the Mac & Beef and the Durum Vesuvio dishes. The Mac & Beef was definitely our favorite and one of the best pastas Ive had! The environment is really relaxing and has cozy warm feeling to it.

Weve been going to this restaurant since it opened, but the last two times weve been our appetizers arrive at the same time as our mains. We really hate this!
