We rolled in embarrassingly late after a long flight, expecting to be rushed out, but the fteam greeted us with easy smiles and took great care of us. While the staff quietly broke down the room around us, they never rushed a course or let a water glass dip below half. Genuine hospitality like that is rare, and it set the tone for an exceptional meal.
Bison Stew – Deep, slow-cooked comfort. The broth was rich without being heavy, and the meat stayed fork-tender right to the last spoonful. Perfect with warm bannock for soaking.
Venison Sausage – Lean, lightly gamey, and perfectly seasoned. Grilled just enough to crisp the casing while keeping the centre juicy—an on-point showcase of local game.
Salmon Sampler – Three preparations (candied, cold-smoked, and mousse) that hit every texture note—from silky to satisfyingly chewy. Each bite tasted like a different corner of the Pacific Northwest.
Wild Rice “Risotto” with Salmon – Clever twist: nutty wild rice cooked risotto-style, crowned with a beautifully seared salmon
if it's your first time in Vancouver -- it's a must.

My wife and I were visiting Vancouver and the meal we had was incredible. We're both foodies who love supporting local restaurants. If I could give S and B 10 stars I would. We had the: Salmon Sampler, Bannocks, Sable and the Spruce Blueberry and Cherry Sundae. I also had their sweetgrass and spruce blueberry The food was incredibly flavorfull, perfectly cooked/prepared perfectly aportioned and the service was top notch. Our meal was in the top 5 meals I've had in my life. Want more of the same? Give them a shot!

We really enjoyed our time here. Locally owned by an Indigenous woman, this place has heart & spirit. The food was wonderful and the staff were great! We enjoyed the salmon, the bison and a fantastic Chardonnay.

We enjoyed Salmon N' Bannock twice during our stay in Vancouver. We are pescatarian and had plenty to choose from on the menu. This is a fantastic cultural experience and there should be many more Indigenous restaurants. The food was delicious and our large party was well accommodated. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Salmon and Bannock offers an unforgettable dining experience. The flavors are rich and authentic, showcasing the best of Indigenous cuisine. The bison dish is incredibly flavorful and tender. The bannock is a perfect accompaniment, adding a lovely touch. The cozy atmosphere and attentive service make this a must-visit in Vancouver.

As a Nehiyaw visitor from Treaty 8, I absolutely loved the authenticity and delicious food. Staff were amazing and I will certainly visit here every time I come to Vancouver!

An amazing experience. So grateful we went. It is now my new tradition with my daughter for her birthday. The staff. The food. The atmosphere. The fun facts you can read. A learning experience. Vegetarian options for me. My daughter loved her salmon burger. The desert was divine. A local business that definitely needs to be supported! Thank you!

This place is simply a gem in this city! In my opinion, it is a must because it allows you to eat good indigenous cuisine which is really worth the detour. The waiters/waitresses are very friendly, beautiful place, well decorated. Everything we ate was delicious. Bison soup, red salmon with wild rice and berry cheesecake. In terms of vegetables, I would have liked to find more local vegetables (like one of the three sisters perhaps?) Special discovery of cedar jelly, delicious!
