1. West Restaurant + Bar
Vancouver, BC V6H 3J4
(604) 738-8938
Categories:
Restaurants,
Bars
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
What can you say about West that hasn't already been said before? West had its day when Hawksworth was the ultimate chef; now, it's just okay. The interior has been updated with a beautiful wall mural and lighting, and the bright array of...dildos…More »

Category:
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Thx. to Daniel, we found this cute, quaint, tiny place. It has a welcoming, albeit, cold bar, and two longer, high tables with stools. We arrived early enough to score one of the tables, which we would have happily shared.
Chorizo, …More »
3. Seven Seas Fish Market
Vancouver, BC V6K 1P1
(604) 732-8608
Category:
Seafood Markets
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
I didn't bother reading the reviews before I visited here yesterday.
The place was nearly empty on a bustling Saturday.
The lady I had was quite helpful and I purchased mussels and prawns for the most difficult dish I was ever going to make (I hope):…More »
4. Tentatsu
Vancouver, BC V5K
(604) 255-3733
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Hastings-Sunrise
Ok, so it's all over the map with reviews, but it's really a 3.5. If the long wait on a Sunday is any indication, this is still quite the popular place. You really can't go wrong with the food for the inexpensive prices. We were stuffed on barely…More »
5. The Daily Catch
Vancouver, BC V5L 5G2
(604) 253-3474
Category:
Seafood Markets
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
They definitely have everything you need here fish-wise and I have no complaints. Sure, it's spendy, but it's fresh, ocean-wise, "guilt-free" seafood. What can one expect?
I had absolutely delicious halibut from here that I really didn't need to dress…More »
6. Chewies Steam and Oyster Bar
Vancouver, BC V6K 1E9
(604) 558-4448
What do you get when you combine 4 star food with 5 star charm? A five star review, that's what! There's a reason that Robin and Crystal are the Queen/Duchess of Yelp. (Who's who? Does it really matter?) After all--they know what they are talking…More »
7. Hawksworth
Sometimes, you get what you pay for in life; with Tiffany it's the sparkle, with Prada, it's the quality; and with Hawksworth you get amazingly delicious food at prices that are actually quite reasonable.
For a "fun" time free of a stuffy Orange…More »
8. Bayou on Bay
So glad RZ suggested this. The place was quite cute, although the music was a bit too loud for talking in a group.
We ordered:
1. Crab egg benny-the best
2, Pulled pork with slaw-my order; least favourite and least interesting of all three.
3. Shrimp…More »
9. Sushi Nanaimo

Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, Hastings-Sunrise
The best Japanese place in the hood, and better than the previous place that resided here, too. A delightful surprise. Packed and efficient with service. Mild green tea served upon arrival was good. No liquor license, (and note their spelling of…More »
10. Blue Water Cafe + Raw Bar
Vancouver, BC V6B 5T4

Categories:
Seafood,
Live/Raw Food
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
Really doesn't need another review, but try to go for a special occasion with a group of six or so.
A must have-three tier seafood tower. $150 or so. Sushi is definitely some of the best I've ever had. Even the oyster was good, and I don't always do…More »
11. Coast Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6E 1A3
(604) 685-5010
Category:
Seafood
Neighbourhoods: West End, Downtown
Since I usually eat out at around 8 o clock or so for dinner, I decided that the key to exceptional service is to arrive around 4ish for an early dinner or really late lunch.
Perfect parking. Sit at the bar. Abraham (Abe) who normally works night…More »
12. Rodney's Oyster House
Vancouver, BC V6B 6L2
(604) 609-0080
Category:
Seafood
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
This place doesn't really need another review.
Their pan fried oysters are awesome and so is the music.
Really loud for convo, though.
Also, our 830 reservations did not actually come to fruition until almost 9.
I'd come back for the pan fried, music…More »
13. Fresh Local Wild
We had lunch there today. It is the best food cart in the city.
Order:
Fish and chips. Lightest batter you ever tasted. I could eat the batter alone it is really THAT good. The portion seemed a bit small, but maybe that's because were fighting over…More »
14. Go Fish Ocean Emporium

Seafood,
Fish & Chips
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
On a beautiful sunny day, the wait can be 1.5 hours and that's on a weekday.
But, you decide what you want in line. (30 minutes)
Order: Halibut and chips. (Halibut is the best quality)
or
Tuna Cone if you want something less fattening. Then share the…More »
15. Market By Jean-Georges
Wow, this used to be my favourite five star restaurant in Vancouver. In fact, I thought that I'd already reviewed this with a five star. Not anymore!
Went there today. Initially, the service was 5/5 for efficiency. Waitress was certainly not friendly,…More »

Seafood,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
You know, I only ever had terrible food here at prices that are way too expensive. But that was awhile ago. Maybe it's changed? It seems to me that the people eating here are GI tourists.
It is fun to go for drinks, though, and I had the sweetest…More »

Categories:

Neighbourhood: West End
The food was pretty decent, but I agree with another yelper when they state that the decor was outdated.
The cauliflower/bean appy was pretty boring and best left untasted, but we had to order one veg. I didn't know that it would be served cold, too,…More »
