50 Best Seafood Restaurants near North Vancouver

“Fishworks has been one of our favourite seafood restaurants on the North Shore for the past decade. We visited recently, and we’re happy to say that under the new ownership and management, the food and service remain outstanding! The house wine was excellent too. Always a pleasure to dine here!“

“Came here for happy hour and was pleasantly surprised that the dishes we ordered - oysters, brussel sprouts and calamari were all good / fresh. Service was prompt, waiter not pushy. Was not busy on Sunday early evening so we got a table without reservation.

Maybe set the machine tip minimum to 15% instead of 18%? That was the only downside.

Btw hot apple cider next door we had after was great!“

“Good menu, drinks in a nice atmosphere with a fantastic view of the city“

“I have loved C-lovers for 20 years. From the UK myself, I am a fish'n'chips efficiando and C-lovers is a home run every time. The all you can eat is straight up one of the best deals in this country these days. I come here every opportunity I have when im on the west coast. The fish is cooked perfectly. If you dont love C-lovers you are a C-lown.“

“Excellent everything! We split a salad, I had the carpaccio, he had the burger, we shared the panna cotta. Atmosphere, service, food, wine, patio, price point = perfection. Highly recommend.“

“Great fish and chips...
Lots of different food on the menu...
Come early for clam chowder...
Not a sit down restaurant like whitespace but there are some seating along the windows and a few tables.
The staff are great too“

“We made a large take-out order for a family get together and everyone raved about the food! A delicious and inexpensive option for feeding a large group. An extra thank-you for the special order pan fried only 'mixed veggie chicken' as a GF meal for my cousin. He was very appreciative of the meal.“

“This restaurant is not an American (Canadian) Chinese food restaurant. They have some dishes but I recommend the ones where the flavors are more representative of actual Chinese cuisine over the Pacific ocean.

Dining is also typical Chinese style meaning family style. You order many dishes of chicken, pork, beef, fish and veggies and share it with the entire table along with rice.

As long as you understand this then you'll realize it's one of the best Chinese restaurants on the North Shore.

I'm glad that throughout the decades, they've stayed mostly true to the feel and flavours of ethnic Chinese instead of diluting the heritage to fit the different expectations of the local crowd.“

“We had dinner at Blue Water Cafe last night, and our server, Jared, was absolutely outstanding. He was incredibly attentive throughout the entire evening and possessed a deep knowledge of the menu, explaining the dishes with great detail. His drink recommendations were also spot on and enhanced our meal perfectly. What impressed us the most was his impeccable pacing; he managed to attend to every single table with absolute precision, without ever making anyone feel rushed. Jared balances warmth and professionalism beautifully, and he was truly a key figure in making our evening a memorable success. A huge thank you to Jared and the entire team for an unforgettable night. Jared went above and beyond any service experience I’ve had in the city. Highly recommended!“

“We celebrated our 10th anniversary on January 25 at Coast Restaurant during the Dine Out Festival 2026, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. As expected from the Glowbal Restaurant Group, the service was absolutely top-notch. Our waitress made the evening even more special—she happened to be a fellow Swiftie! We ended up having such a lovely chat about how we millennials grew up listening to Taylor Swift, which added a fun and personal touch to our celebration. She truly went above and beyond to make our anniversary memorable. Not only did we receive a complimentary cake as a thoughtful gesture, but she also surprised me with a Swiftie friendship bracelet—such a sweet and unique detail that we’ll always remember. The food was amazing from start to finish. My husband had the New England Chowder for his appetizer, while I enjoyed the shrimp salad. For our mains, we both chose the surf n’ turf—our favorite—and it did not disappoint. We ended the night with a delicious sticky toffee pudding, along with the complimentary cake. Everything—from the incredible food to the warm, attentive service—made our night so special. Thank you, Coast, for such a memorable anniversary celebration! 💕“

“Thank you Lisa and Philip. The dining experience is more than food, and even though our steaks were cooked to perfection (huge shout out to the chefs on that porterhouse) your service made the experience one that we will remember. Thank you.“

“Pretty good central location with a nice relax atmosphere. The food, especially their Crab and Shrimp banquette was really soft, buttery, and extra tasty, it's pricey but good food isn't cheap. The crowd was nice and the place offers wifi as well. It's a great place for a nice treat and meal!“

“I had an incredible experience here last Friday! My friends hosted a surprise bridal shower for me in the private dining room. The staff were thoughtful and helpful with the setup, allowing my them to come in early to decorate the space. They also did a flawless job with executing the surprise by pretending to bring me to a table first. The server was fun, warm and attentive throughout the night and I feel terrible that I’m forgetting her name! All the food was delicious, which has been the case every time I’ve been to Boulevard.“

“Buena música y buen ambiente“

“The best fish in Vancouver“

“Great classic seafood! Generous portions!“

“The best clam chowder and sablefish. Kali our server was the best too. She's adorable. ♥️“

“Went for a birthday brunch ❣️ Excellent service!! Beautiful setting, highly recommend!“

“We had a great evening at oddfish. We shared five dishes between 2, the tuna tataki was the best dish we thought (although they were all very good). The tuna tartare was also excellent as well as the burrata the broccolini and the mussels. The staff was nice and the atmosphere too. The only thing I’d say is we got the 5 dishes served within an hour and we thought that was too rushed, it didn’t leave any time for digestion between plates. Highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Josh at the bar had some great skills. My ribeye was AMAZING!!!“

“hidden gem in Chinatown. 10/10.“

“Excellent food 🩷 Excellent stuff ❤️“

“Me and my husband always celebrating our anniversary here because we love the view, the service, and the food worth the price though 🙂. Our server Mark did the awesome job last night. We definitely recommend this place“

“My husband and I were happy that we celebrated our 35 wedding anniversary @Ancora last night💕 We enjoyed our delicious dinner Staff were respectful and attentive We sure to come back soon and tell all my friends and family about the great service! Keep up the good work guys🙌“

“One of the best restuarants I've ever been to in my life💜 I think about it all the time 😆“

“Great little fish and chips shop on Hastings St near Nanaimo St. Looks like a diner. The fish and chips were crispy with a light golden batter and the fries and tartar sauce were great. Staff were friendly and responsive and the vibe was very community like. Prices were reasonable for very good quality food.“

“Fun! Good food. It gets hot in there though. 100% worth it!“

“I was just here on may 5th 2024. this was the first time having a5 wagyu and it did not disappoint. the service was top notch the food was amazing. I will be back. please put the tomato bisque soup on the everyday menu.“

“The service was perfect. The asian lady who served us was very good. She also made sure I was not out of water. I would say the chowder was a tad too salty but that is probably to be expected. The fish actually contained a good amount of fish and not just stuffed with batter. Overall, good service, and food (just a tad too salty). But beyond, that it was perfect.“

“foods are fresh. although pricy, worth the price.“

“Great 2024 Dine Vancouver menu, the ram is amazing and so is the tiramisu..“

“We had a great afternoon, Rainey day, watching the water boats, good food great drinks 🍹 good service“

“Good was delicious, very good service staff! Reasonable price too!“

“This place is retaining the authentic HK chefs. I can taste it in most dishes. Try the lemon pork BBQ puff pastry. Or original chicken fingers with bone not the other kind. Please ask about free parking and try not ask for special requests dishes unless you are willing to pay Do stop by even though the yam was sweet to my taste.“

“good food ,good service“

“My experience at Is That French was lovely. I took my parents here for their birthdays, and they were amazed by the thought and detail that went into both the food and wine selection. You could truly taste the quality of every ingredient and the care the chefs put into every plate. The wine was also outstanding. The one thing I would point out is that the space is unfortunately not very accessible for wheelchair users or older guests with mobility limitations. Thankfully, my dad uses a rollator, so he was able to manage the first few steps while we carried his rollator upstairs, but no one offered assistance. Our waitress was kind and did her best to accommodate him once we entered the restaurant, but it was clear that the space itself presents some accessibility challenges. My dad also mentioned that although there is an accessible bathroom, it didn't have grab bars. The seating was another challenge for my parents, as the chairs have no backs or cushions, which made it quite uncomfortable for them. Other than that, we had a really nice experience. Our server was incredible. I only wish that spaces like this could be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of age or physical ability. I hope these are things the restaurant might consider improving in the future, because the food and experience truly deserve to be accessible to more people.“

“Really excellent shop. They very clearly take pride in the food they serve and it shows. The house made noodles are fantastic, and the owner showed us how the filled dumplings were best enjoyed. Great food and an owner that really cares about the quality of her food. We will 100% be coming back when we are in Burnaby next.“

“So good and so fresh! It’s worth the drive! The Hawaii tea is so good!“

“This place is phenomenal!! Great service! Great location! Amazing drinks!! Food is scrumptious!!“

“The food and service were outstanding. After a long day of travel, the restaurant was a welcome rest. We sampled the prime rib, chicken wings, and wedge salad, all of which were tender and delicious. The staff were accommodating and attentive. We will definitely return on our next visit.“

“We came here for dim sum on the weekend and it was very busy, but luckily we only had to wait a little while before getting a table. There are so many dim sum restaurants to choose from in Vancouver, and this one definitely stood out. The food was fresh and delicious, and we really enjoyed our meal. Would definitely come back next time we’re in Vancouver!“

“Just when you think they can't raise their game any higher Hy's manages to find a way. We attended the Calgary locations 10th Anniversary Celebration on Sept 26th and it was spectacular. The event was flawlessly organized and orchestrated by the Hy's team, the food was next level even by Hy's standards and the service exceeded anything we have experienced anywhere in North America even in the finest hotels. Bryant Olender added a classic background with piano and vocal stylings that perfectly suited the atmosphere. It was certainly the best evening we have at Hy's over the last decade, and I don't think I'm overstating it to say it was a "Once in a Lifetime" experience. A huge thankyou to Barb and the entire Hy's team!“

“The food was amazing and great service highly recommend“
