Just off Robson in the heart of downtown Vancouver  

ensemble is located at 850 Thurlow Street, one-half block south of Robson Street, on the north-east corner of Smithe & Thurlow.  Minutes from downtown hotels and steps from the busiest shopping street in Canada, ensemble is ideally situated 'just off' Robson, right in the centre of the downtown peninsula - with Stanley Park to the west, Coal Harbour and downtown shopping malls to the north, Sunset Beach and False Creek/Granville Island to the south, and the entertainment district including Rogers Centre/BC Place Stadium to the east.  The Burrard Skytrain station sits two blocks north and one block east of the restaurant.  Transit and taxi service is regular and frequent along both Robson and Burrard.

Street Parking

There is plenty of metered (pay by coin, phone or credit card) street parking right out front on Thurlow Street and about one-half block east, on Smithe.  Small pay lots are located nearby - one just off the alley between Robson and Smithe, and the other at Burrard and Smithe.

Transit

The Robson Street shopping district and ensemble restaurant and bar are Vancouver transit destinations and as such are steps from major bus stops and Skytrain stations.  For a detailed transit map, showing major transit routes, Skytrain, Seabus, Aquabus and Bus and Train stations, click here.   To access a route map from your present Lower Mainland destination, to ensemble, click here (be sure to enter '850 Thurlow Street, Vancouver' in the Going To box)
