3 of 8 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 1 infraction recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Protecting food from contamination and Cleaning and sanitizing.

The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 12, 2026. For example: Food is handled in a sanitary manner and is not subject to contamination.

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded once on January 19, 2022. For example: All equipment, food contact surfaces, utensils, dishes & glasses used on the premises are washed and sanitized in a manner that removes contamination.

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on January 11, 2023. For example: An operator of a food service establishment must develop, maintain, and follow written procedures to ensure that a health hazard does not occur in the operation of the establishment.

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

    Recorded once on January 11, 2022. For example: Operation and maintenance of premises is in accordance with approved floor plans and specifications.

    Turkish cuisine is diverse, full of flavor, and made with so much heart slow-braised lamb, hand-rolled börek, stews fragrant with cumin and dried mint that have been simmering since morning. When someone cooks not only with professional skill but also with genuine love and passion, every meal becomes something truly special. Chef Özlem is one of those rare people who puts care into every single dish she makes. Her food carries that warm, unhurried feeling of a family kitchen the kind that reminds you of your mother’s cooking and makes you feel at home the moment it reaches the table. If you miss authentic homemade food or want to discover the rich, layered world of Turkish cuisine, Lokanta Boutique Catering is exactly where you need to be.

    Amazing food and amazing people. I absolutely love their meze catering. I order from Lokanta for most of my special occasions. Highly recommended!

  • Deniz Soykurum Çetin

    Lokanta Vancouver is a venture that brings the authentic tastes of Turkey to you every week. While most people immediately think of kebabs, our cuisine is so much richer than that. The vegetarian dishes, especially the olive oil–based ones, are simply amazing. This week, for example, there was a Cretan-style zucchini dish. It was so delicious that I went back for a second serving. 😊 And the best part? They deliver right to your door. In times of illness, recovery and hardship, it’s truly a lifesaver. I highly recommend it!

  • Necla Kesriyeli

    Lokanta delivers exactly what it promises: healthy, homemade-style meals made with fresh, organic ingredients — no additives, no artificial flavors, no preservatives. You can truly taste the care and quality in every dish. I’ve loved everything I’ve tried, but the stuffed vine leaves, artichokes in olive oil, and zucchini fritters are my absolute favorites. If you're craving healthy, home-style dishes that feel like a warm hug from your mom’s kitchen, Lokanta is a must-try!
