50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Vancouver

“Little bit of a late post but me and my girlfriend came here for the valentines special menu. It was amazing and the service was really thoughtful. Our server was Aaron, and he was very kind and made terrific suggestions. He was very honest too and suggested I get the Sablefish rather than their steak. I was very happy I did make that decision as the food was top notch. They gave complimentary bread with a very nice hummus style spread. The appetizers were very tasty, especially the crab cakes. The desert was also super delicious, the tiramisu had quite a strong orange profile to it. The $50 whiskey flight from a japanese distiller was also quite smooth and tasty. Overall will visit again and ask for Aaron!“

“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.“

“I had a very pleasant experience at this restaurant. The food is amazing. The fish & chip, tartar sauce, slaw and fries are out of this world. Definitely worth the trip! Food was served fast and service was outstanding.

Merci à Mélodie pour le bon service en français!!“

“Perfect place for seafood lovers and delicious desserts selection.“

“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.“

“The best fish in Vancouver“

“Buena música y buen ambiente“

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

“Our group of 4 had the Dine Out Vancouver menu. Everyone went with the snapper cerviche and it was excellent. My wife and I had the tuna tataki, delicious! The burrata our friends had was huge. Good if you are really hungry. We all had the branzino. Served skin on, which some liked and others removed it before eating the perfectly cooked fish. The olive oil cake was great but the posset is over the top! Great meal with friendly, helpful service in a lively space.“

“hidden gem in Chinatown. 10/10.“

“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“

“Great restaurant with amazing cuisine“

“Nice setting, delicious food (halibut, fish and chips, steak). And great service!“

“Chill and unpretentious atmosphere, very unassuming spot from the exterior. Super light crispy batter on the halibut , not greasy at all, excellent chips! Salmon cooked perfectly with rice and beans dish. Rice was a bit wet - I would love that salmon on a huge crispy vinegary salad with those pickled onions! (Future potential option? :P ) It took a while for our food due to lunch rush/wave of online orders, but everything was delicious, hot and crispy and made with intention and care! (Also, good music and you can play board games.) Very stoked to return and spread the good word! Thank you, Rumblefish! (I’ll update with photos on our next visit! Forgot to snap any!)“

“I had the clam chowder and fish & chips, and everything was absolutely incredible. The fish was perfectly crispy, and even the potato fries had a unique, slightly sour tang that I loved. But the real star was the homemade pickles! the best pickles I’ve ever had! I got extra. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. I’m already looking forward to my next visit! Thank you!“

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

“Such a great place. Feels like if you are actually eating in Mexico, if you like seafood and Mexican food, is a must to visit.“

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

“It was wonderful. Friendly and good service and of course fabulous food.“

“I will literally take any excuse to go to a Hong Kong cafe! They have a good selection of the rice and noodle favourites. The pineapple bun was unfortunately mediocre but the other dishes were good! Get your casual Cantonese Chinese fix here!“

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

“Great Chinese seafood restaurant in East side of Vancouver. Quality is consistently good. Parking is available in front of restaurant. Ease to wheel in for the seniors.
Make sure you call to make reservations, it fills up early with long lineup which is the best indicator of good food around the world either Chinese or Western food.

You definitely will enjoy the food, guaranteed but you will be much poorer when you walk out“

“We read about Forage in line and decided to try it. What a great decision! The food was excellent. As the idea is sharing plates we selected a number of small plates. We had the fish dip, with lovely homemade tortillas which were delicious. We had a spring salad, the zucchini salad, bison carpaccio, and smoked salmon- everything was great. Washed down with a nice Shiraz - what more could you want? Staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend you to try.“

“I just want to start off by saying thank you to the waitress Shannon for her amazing service. The food was delicious!“

“I attended my first game of the season Dec 10th. The Canucks played and lost to the Minnesota Wild. The lobster roll was honestly my favorite thing about attending Canucks’ games. The lobster roll tasted good. The lobster meat was cooked well and the texture perfect. I admit it’s been a few years since I had season tickets. I renewed this year and told everyone the lobster roll was a can’t miss. The lobster roll held it’s own but the new kettle chips are a miss. Bring back Ms Vickies! The kettle chips were hard and tasteless.“

“A pretty decent dim sum spot — not too fancy, but hits the spot! 🥢 The place isn’t big, yet the dim sum quality is quite good. Steamed dishes come out hot and fresh, with nice big portions, and the fried items are crispy and flavorful. The rice noodle rolls are super smooth and tasty — definitely my favorite! 😋

Only downside — the tea could be better. It’s a bit weak and lacks that classic aroma. Hope they can level up the “Drink Tea” to match the rest of the food. 💪✨“

“The calamari is the best In vancouver. Mr Jamie was correct in claiming this. It reminded me of kaguras squid tempura. Same thing. The oysters were fresh and our foods were delicious. A girl's night with good food and a very kind and enthusiastic personable staff, Jamie; made everything unforgettable. Thank you so much and we will be back.“

“I had dinner here last night and it was the best Fish and Chips I’ve had in a long time. The staff were so nice and friendly too.“

“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.“

“I'd suggest this if you look a certain way and then won't get questioned or chased out the door asking if you paid or not. I paid with my credit cause yes I got good credit.“

“One of the best for dim sum“

“Arc has a nice view and delicious foods.“

“Came here for my aunt’s birthday. She is a regular and orders a lot from them. The manager put on a birthday song for my aunt and gave us some mango pudding with a candle. It was so kind!!! We had amazing food and everything was so good! Especially the spicy fried squid! Thank you for an amazing time!“

“This is a solid spot for traditional Chinese food with consistently good execution. Standout dishes for us were the Chinese chicken salad, the lobster sticky rice, and the Capital pork loin—all flavourful and well prepared. We also tried the Peking duck; while the slices were a bit thicker than ideal, it still tasted great overall.

Portion sizes were generally decent, and service was friendly and attentive. The manager even remembers me despite not being a frequent visitor, which is a nice touch. Food came out quite quickly, though some dishes understandably take longer than others.

The atmosphere is family-style and unpretentious, and it can get busy on weekends. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality makes it feel fair rather than frustrating. Parking can be a little limited, so it’s best to plan ahead, especially during busy hours.

A good choice for family dinners or groups of friends—reliable food, warm service, and no unnecessary fuss.“

“Is That French? absolutely lived up to the hype. My friend and I started with New Brunswick oysters — a sweeter, delicate variety, beautifully presented and the perfect way to begin the evening. We followed with scallops that were tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, then indulged in the foie gras, which was rich, silky, and paired beautifully with the accompaniments. The wagyu tartare was a standout — expertly seasoned, melt-in-your-mouth, and plated with such care. We ended on the Basque cheesecake, which was creamy, light, and the perfect not-too-sweet finish“

“We have lunched and dinned here for decades, through changes and renovations.
The service attained and maintained a consistent level of efficiency and courtesy for the last 2 decades.
We enjoy the dim sums which are always delicate, light but flavourful.
For dinner, some spectacular dishes require pre-orders. We always enjoyed the braised duck on a bed of savoury mixed mushroom (forgot the proper name of the dish), and many more.“

“Very wonderful place. Lovely meats. Great desserts. Best BBT you’ll find in Van. Very cool!“

“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!“

“Food was yummy, my family and I enjoyed it very much.“

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

“Amazing food 😋 and amazing staffs😊“
