Nook Shipyards

Very busy and active environment. The food was tasty. Our server was very friendly. We orders lots of appetizers along with our pasta and a mushroom pizza. Table of 4.

great little spot in the shipyards. excellent pasta and pizza (the dough is outstanding). service was professional and fun. nice wine list with interesting selections.
only complaint is the rock and roll music blasting. completely wrong for the ambiance.

We made a reservation to go to Nook one evening after we realized we would be spending some time down by Lonsdale. I've always wanted to try this place out as they're really busy.

When we arrived, we were greeted by a host and was asked to wait outside for 15 - 20 minutes (due to COVID). As soon as we sat down, we were not surprised by the amount of diners around us and the bustling of the restaurant.

We decided to share a couple appetizers, and a few mains to share. For starters we got the chicken liver crostini as well as the meatballs.

The crostini, while creamy and flavourful, was a tad bit pricey IMO, but that being said, it was probably the best dish that evening. The meat balls were tender but overall not very memorable.

For our mains we got the prosciutto pizza, the crust was great, perfectly cooked. The pastas were also cooked to Al dente, and had plenty of sauce.

Overall the atmosphere is great if you enjoy the bustling places, maybe not for a first date though. Service was prompt and on point. Will definitely go back and try other things on their menu.

Family dinner at the Shipyards location of Nook Restaurant . We ordered a variety of appetizers, salad, pastas and pizza for the table. Reviews for this restaurant are generally quite good, but I have to admit that some of the dishes on our table were quite disappointing.

No complaints about any of the appetizers or salad, and the pizza was fantastic (Margherita pizza and Anchovy pizza); however, the pasta dishes turned out to be quite unremarkable. If you're in the mood for pizza and some tasty appetizers, then this restaurant is a wonderful place to come to.

One thing that did impress me was seeing that the bottle of water on our table was an Avalon milk bottle. I was really happy to see them reusing the milk bottle for water. Eco friendly options score brownie points with me!

Service: Good
Parking: Free parking on Lonsdale if you're lucky enough to snag a spot, otherwise there's a pay parking lot available in the same building as Nook Restaurant.

Mushroom Pizza 10/10

Before or after your meal make sure to go for a walk by the Shipyards and the dry dock pier.

Con: Parking
Pro: The staff has always been friendly and they have a good selection of daily & weekly specials.

soft almost soggy pizza x 2, visibly could see crust was white no tinge of brown or bit of charred bubbles from oven. Lady who served us used a lot of eye rolling, we felt unwelcome. We used to love going to shipyards... I'm not sure we will be back

Food was fantastic, prices were ok, but the gray haired guy with the dumb hat was rude to my family several times despite not even being our server.

Nook is our favourite restaurant in Vancouver. Sensational food, exceptional service and lovely staff. We brought our week old daughter here for dinner last night and the staff gave us the entire dinner free as a touching kind gesture. We're so appreciative and will be returning for as long as it's open! Thanks Guys!

Came here after the meat and cheese festival because we were craving the rich delicious pizzas they offered here.
Luckily we came around 2pm so there wasn't much of a line, but it was such a good call coming here! (Swipe for menu).

Procuitto ($25) ~ This pizza was handsdown exactly what I was craving, it was delicious and rich and flavourful. The crust was not oily, but it was chewy and not too thick. The proscuitto was salty and generous layer and I loved the argulua pairing. 100% recommend dipping this in their chilli oil because it was a chef kiss combo. The roast garlic on top was the cherry on top because it was exactly what perfected the pizza.

10/10 ~ I really liked the pizza, it was good and not too oily and procuitto, all its missing is a side of burrata!!!! A good place to get a pizza to share.

7/10 ~ its not cheap here an entire pizza was $25 before tax for 8 slices, but a good item to share with friends. Total bill before tip : $28 (4 people).

Fantastic. Really impressed with this cozy Nook on the North Shore. All the COvID protocols in place. Felt well protected in that respect. Nice view of the downtown Vancouver skyline. Fireplace on the patio. Good selection of local microbrews on tap. Excellentlt currated wine list, designed for the mostly Italian menu. We shared a Ceasar salad to die for. With anchovies, which is what takes a Ceasar to its true height, IMHO. Then we had the mushroom pancetta pizza, which was very yummy, Napoli style, on a thin crust, hot from the oven. Eat this fresh or leave it behind. This is not the type of pizza for leftovers. The Chianti we chose went well both with the pizza and the delicious dark chocolate mousse dessert, layered with a salted caramel mousse. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Extra kudus to the bar staff for the wine suggestions. We'll definitely be back.
