It's always nice to be dining out near the beach and watch the sunset. The food was tasty and our server was excellent! It made a pleasant evening for us. Thank you.

Dockside Restaurant

CAN$31 to CAN$50
Regional American (Northwest)
Granville Island
Located on the waterfront where Granville Island faces the city, guests can enjoy panoramic views across False Creek to the world-famous cityscape of Yaletown and beyond to the mountains of the North Shore.

The open dining room is relaxed yet refined, wrapped in spectacular floor to ceiling windows, while the lounge offers warm intimate surroundings for evening cocktails.

The award-winning seasonal patio (patio closed October to March) catches sunlight from morning to afternoon and is an oasis of calm, disturbed only by the occasional sound of boats making their way along False Creek.

Whether dining inside or outside the views are stunning!

Once again, Pier 7 on a rainy day during the week is magical! I know Pier7 is at it's best when the sun is shining and you get the beautiful views across the water, but I have to say - it's also a great place to go when the weather's not so hot! It's kind of a magical spot. Service is excellent and the food is good too. I like seeing the mist over the water on a grey and gloomy afternoon. It was wonderful. Highly recommend going here even when it's the middle of the week and it's raining and grey outside. What a treat!

Miku Restaurant - Vancouver

Coal Harbour
Specializing in aburi, or flamed-seared, sushi, the act of applying flame directly and lightly searing sushi enhances the natural flavours and textures of the seafood. Miku owner, Seigo Nakamura, innovated the Aburi concept by crafting specialty sauces using non-traditional Japanese ingredients to pair with each type of fish.

Located at the corner of Howe Street and Canada Place Way

We ordered the Seafood tower for 2 and it was delicious. Everything tasted amazing and had the right level of tenderness. For desert we ordered the lava cake with raspberry gelato, we wished there was a little more gelato but overall was very good.

Uli's Restaurant is a White Rock institution. Opened in 1986 by Uli Blume, it was one of White Rock's original waterfront restaurants and quickly became a favourite among locals for its great food and friendly atmosphere. Uli's son Tyson took over operations in 2008 and he picked up right where his father left off – providing the White Rock waterfront with a fun and relaxed place to enjoy a vibrant atmosphere, stunning water views, refreshingly simple food, an extensive international beer list, and a diverse selection of wines. Chef Jennie Silk is also making quite an impression on locals as they flock for her impeccable local flavours on the menu.

Server and bartender made the experience great! Food was good, but the prices were a bit high, I assume this is because they locally source their food and create it from scratch.
