Flavors That'll Make You Stay
Fresh catches, local ingredients, and a view that's honestly worth the trip alone
Look, we're not gonna feed you some line about "farm-to-table innovation" or whatever. What we do is pretty straightforward - we wake up early, head to the docks, grab whatever's freshest that morning, and figure out how to make it taste incredible.
Chef Maria's been doing this for 20+ years, and she's got this thing about never putting something on a plate unless she'd serve it to her own family. That's the standard here.
Yeah, we've got technique and training and all that fancy stuff. But really? It's about respecting the ingredients and not overthinking it. Vancouver gives us amazing seafood and produce - we just try not to mess it up.
Three different vibes, all seriously good
Dinner: 5:30 PM - 10:30 PM
This is where we pull out all the stops. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the water, white tablecloths, the whole nine yards. Maria's tasting menu changes with what's available, but expect things like seared halibut with pea tendrils, spot prawns done five different ways, and her famous burnt honey cheesecake that people literally drive from Seattle for.
Real talk: It's not cheap. But it's that special occasion kind of place where you're making memories, not just having dinner. Dress code's smart casual - basically, don't show up in flip-flops.
Snag a Table
Breakfast: 7:00 AM - 11:00 AM | Lunch: 11:30 AM - 4:00 PM
Way more relaxed than Azure - this is where you come in your sweater and jeans after a morning walk. The patio's open pretty much whenever weather permits, and honestly? The fish tacos here are better than most places' fancy entrees.
Don't miss: Weekend brunch with the eggs benedict (they make their hollandaise with smoked salmon - trust me on this), and the burger at lunch uses local beef that'll ruin you for chain restaurants forever.

Daily: 3:00 PM - Midnight
This is where everyone ends up eventually. Comfy chairs, fireplace when it's cold, and Jake behind the bar who somehow remembers everyone's drink after meeting them once. Small plates menu if you're peckish, but really it's about the cocktails and local craft beers.
Insider tip: The oyster happy hour from 4-6 PM is legitimately one of the best deals in Vancouver. Fresh shucked, dollar each, with Jake's mignonette that has a little kick to it.
Drop ByShe'll probably tell you to just call her Maria. Came up through kitchens in Barcelona and Montreal before landing here six years ago, and she hasn't looked back since.
"Vancouver's got everything I need right here - the ocean, the mountains, ingredients that basically cook themselves. My job's just not to screw it up."
Just a taste - everything changes with the seasons
Half dozen, fresh as it gets. Three different mignonettes because why not?
$24
Depends on what's running, but usually sockeye or spring. Skin so crispy it shatters.
$42
For when you're not feeling seafood. Dry-aged 28 days, cooked over actual fire.
$58
Only during prawn season (May-June). People book trips around this dish, seriously.
$38
Our sommelier Alex curates a wine list that's heavy on BC and Pacific Northwest bottles - stuff you won't find everywhere else. She's really into the Okanagan Valley producers doing interesting things with traditional grapes.
Jake's cocktail program changes quarterly, but there's always something with local gin, something smoky, and something that sounds weird but works perfectly. The "Tide Pool" with kelp-infused vodka sounds like a gimmick until you try it.
Focused on Pacific wines with some European classics
All made with house syrups and fresh ingredients
We recommend booking ahead, especially for Azure on weekends
