Best service from JF, we love sitting in his section. We had the buttermilk chicken bites and also the spagetti with meatballs, it was absolutely delicious. We recommend anyone who likes great food and top shelf service to stop in at CC

There really are not many places where you can sit at your table, enjoy a great meal and beverage while watching humpback whales wave as the travel up the coast. Absolutely breathtaking views, amazing food, and great staff!

Coastal Cookery truly embodies balance — in food, service, and spirit. The menu has the perfect mix of healthy, fresh options and comfort classics that feed both the body and soul. Every dish feels made with care — flavorful, nourishing, and beautifully presented.
The service strikes that rare balance between friendliness, professionalism, and genuine warmth. You can tell the team enjoys what they do, and that kind of energy makes a meal feel even more special.
It’s also clear that the staff are treated with love and respect by management — the atmosphere shows it. Everyone moves with joy, focus, and teamwork.
Shoutout to the management and whole Coastal Cookery family — thank you for bringing such harmony and excellence to Powell River. A true blessing for our community. 🌊✨

Ordered take away two nights in a row, and the food was excellent. I was blown away by how light yet flavour packed the ling cod burger was. Portions may not satisfy the hungriest customers, but the starters are worth ordering. Pricing is very reasonable.

Catered a corporate event grazing board for us. Beautiful presentation and a wide array of options. Thank you Sarah and team for contributing to the vibe and success of our event!
If I could give 10 stars, I would. My husband and I were visiting Powell River and went to Coastal Cookery on our first night in town. We ended up coming back three days in a row because it was THAT good.
I want to highlight our experience on that first night with our amazing waitress, Lauren, who went above and beyond to give us the best service we’ve had on our entire trip - probably ever! I can’t tolerate citrus or vinegar very well, and when I told Lauren about my restrictions, she took the time to make sure the dishes I ordered were safe for me to eat.
Not only that, but when I mentioned that I’d love to try the Lavender Spritz (which contains citrus), she came up with a solution. A big thank you to Lauren - your outstanding service is what kept us coming back!
I can’t recommend Coastal Cookery enough. 10/10 - make sure to go when you’re in Powell River!

A must-visit spot in Powell River. I came in for happy hour and was impressed with their great drink and tasty small plates. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a modern coastal vibe that fits perfectly with the location. Service was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel polished yet relaxed.

The place looked very clean, and the welcome we received was warm. We chose to sit on the deck, which was a great spot! Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. I ordered a gluten-free fish burger, but it arrived with batter on the fish (though they did provide a gluten-free bun). Since I’m not celiac, I just removed the batter, but it wasn’t ideal. They did offer to replace it, but by then my group already had their meals, so I didn’t want to delay everyone. The fish was also quite greasy.
We were two couples, and to top it off, the bills were mixed up—some of our items ended up on our friends’ bill and vice versa. Maybe it was just an off night, but overall the experience didn’t match the nice setting.

Now, the food: nothing short of amazing. I had the lingcod burger, my husband had the ribs, we started with the buttermilk BBQ chicken, and finished with the crème brûlée. Everything was incredible! Literally the best food I’ve had in ages. Lauren had recommended the bread pudding, but we were too full that night, so of course we HAD to come back. And we did - two more times! Each visit we enjoyed snacks, drinks, and desserts, and every time both the food and the service were excellent.
I can’t recommend Coastal Cookery enough. 10/10 - make sure to go when you’re in Powell River!
