    If you’re in Vancouver and love fresh, beautifully prepared dishes, Oddfish is an absolute must-visit! This restaurant offers a seasonal menu where the freshness of the ingredients — especially fish and vegetables — takes center stage. The service is exceptional, with a friendly and knowledgeable staff that enhances the whole experience.

Both dishes showcase how fresh ingredients can shine when skillfully crafted. With its relaxed atmosphere and a touch of creativity in the menu, Oddfish is the perfect spot for casual dinners or special occasions. Don’t miss the chance to discover this gem in Vancouver!

    We loved our lunch! We shared two dishes, one bean dish and one ground meat and lentils, both delicious. Crispy rice is sensational. Baklava is best I have had - not too sweet, just right. Orange cake is fabulous. We can’t wait to come back and try other items. Our server was delightful- helpful, pleasant, attentive.
