Top Best Seafood Restaurants in Granville Island

"With one of the best happy hours in the city, an oyster bar and a garden rooftop patio made to soak up all of the sunshine – it’s no surprise Joe Fortes is a popular hangout, especially during the summer months. Legendary in Vancouver, service here is top-notch and for the winos – Joe Fortes has over 300 wines to choose from. Rose on the patio, anyone?"

"The Robson Street restaurant’s rolls are invariably fresh and tasty and you can combine with some tasty bread with truffle oil plus a good quality glass of wine. Go earlier and catch the bar’s happy hour, the perfect after-work activity. Go later, you may even catch some live music adding to the overly joyous ambiance of the place."

"A post shared by Joe Fortes Seafood &Chop House (@joefortesvan) on Apr 20, 2019 at 10:04am PDT. If there is a Vancouver staple seafood restaurant it is Joe Fortes. Their neverending selection of oysters, lobster dishes, scallops, and fish attracts the likes of John Cena (who has said it is his favourite restaurant in Canada)."

"Raw from the sushi bar or cooked from the open kitchen, seafood is the star at this Yaletown institution. Widely acknowledged as one of Canada’s leaders in responsible seafood, chef Frank Pabst and team push the culinary envelope a little each February with their Unsung Heroes festival, which celebrates lesser-loved species, encouraging diners to broaden their palates and try more sustainable seafood such as poached periwinkles and red sea urchin trifle. Year-round, the service is superb, the wine list dizzyingly wonderful, and the British Columbian seafood towers a splurge meal you’ll adore."

"Blue Water Cafe & Raw Bar is one of the best restaurants in the city because a meal here is consistently excellent. Crisp white linens and impeccable service set the stage for a meal to remember in this warm and inviting restaurant. On the menu, guests can choose from a host of fresh seafood that's prepared in a multitude of ways."

Diners can enjoy Ancora’s five-course tasting menu, which features signature plates of Peruvian and Japanese dishes such as sablefish with dashi braised daikon and Dungeness crab causa topped with huancaina sauce."

"Coming from Blue Water Cafe + Raw Bar, Ancora's Executive Chef, Ricardo Valverde, brings more than a decade of culinary experience to the kitchen. Chef Yoshihiro Tabo hails from Japan and leads the restaurant's raw bar, bringing years of experience and incredible talent. This duo effortlessly blends Peruvian and Japanese cultures using seasonal and sustainable ingredients from local and global suppliers."

To the delight of seafood lovers everywhere, Ancora has announced the opening of a second location that hopes to open in fall 2018."

"If you’re looking to get your aburi fix, Miku’s sister restaurant has also got you covered. Minami combines Japanese and West Coast cuisine in a comfortable, intimate atmosphere. At Minami, its Aburi sushi is made to be paired with their seafood dishes and your choice of sake, wine, or specialty cocktail."

"Located in the heart of Yaletown, this Vancouver sushi restaurant focuses on delicious and sustainable Japanese seafood dishes with a stylish display. Minami is also known for their melt in your mouth Aburi sushi, specifically their appetizers. The quality is high end and the staff is very knowledgable."

"The (long) weekend is calling and so is our Premium Zen lunch set. Featuring a selection of six seasonal kobachi dishes... Minami Restaurant is located in Yaletown, a vibrant neighborhood in Vancouver."

"If you’re the person who likes to know what type of plankton your oysters ate prior to arriving in front of you, you’re definitely going to have a good time at The Fish Counter. The owners are incredibly passionate about local seafood and you can come in just to talk to them about sustainable fish - though there’s no way you leave without getting something to eat since their fish tacos and fish and chips are the best in the city. It’s a tiny spot, and there’s approximately one bench in the whole place, but you can stand at the counter at the window while you eat or get everything to go."

"As an early adopter and influencer of the sustainable seafood movement, Chef Clark has brought his passion and skill to The Fish Counter. He co-founded this grocer/casual cafe with marine biologist and former Ocean Wise manager at the Vancouver Aquarium,, Mike McDermid. It's safe to say that these guys know their stuff."

"Our waterfront Vancouver restaurant, ARC, is the perfect West Coast Setting to enjoy urban artisan food. Made with locally sourced ingredients, some from our very own rooftop herb garden and beehives, our food is rivaled only by our stunning harbour and..."

"Call ahead to make a reservation for Maumi, a 10-seat, Tokyo-style wooden sushi bar where the discerning, taciturn chef serves premium traditional omakase nigiri piece by glistening, sauce-brushed piece (with fresh wasabi, if desired). No rolls, no noodles, no alcohol—though a few appetizers, such as charred yellowtail collar, deep-fried shrimp heads, and frost-delicate tempura fish are available to snack on before chef begins handing you what’s best: Hokkaido uni, pike mackerel, melting prawns, red tuna, cuttlefish, each its own divine experience. Leave the kids at home—this is sushi for grown-ups (also, kids are not allowed in)."

"Take a trip to Japan without leaving Canada at this elegant 10 seat omakase restaurant. Set up in the traditional style, with all seats facing the chef, this intimate spot serves some of the best sushi in Vancouver. They only offer two services a night and you may need to make reservations weeks in advance for the opportunity to try the Chef’s omakase – 11 pieces specially selected by Chef Maumi Ozaki and prepared in front of you."

"Showcasing fresh fish from Japan, Sushi Bar Maumi is known for its uni (sea urchin) and its daily specials, which are prepared in front of diners by talented chefs. Seating only ten patrons around the bar, the intimate space hosts two dinner sittings: 6:00 p.m."

"This Kitsilano spot is atmospheric, romantic, and a bit mysterious, with its tight hours (5 p.m. to 9 p.m., closed Wednesdays) and retro-cozy dining room bedecked in octopus-themed Japanese kitsch. Here’s where to try gourmet novelties like a “shooter” of uni and rice, a foie gras “sushi pocket”, tempura lobster, or the “untouchable” nigiri with Wagyu beef, uni, and white truffles ($30 a pop). Consider the complimentary gummy candy octopi the spoonful of sugar you may need to help the bill go down"

"Octopus’s Garden has amazing food and a great bar, making it a great spot for great conversation over food and wine on date night with your significant other. The omakase is one to write home about, with high quality and a gorgeous presentation. If you are looking for authentic Japanese food in Vancouver, Octopus’s Garden is the spot for you."

"Having launched in the fall of last year, MILA has quickly become a must-know name in the city. The latest venture from the folks behind Virtuous Pie, MILA tends to focus on Asian cuisines. So, that means everything from Dan Dan Noodles to Mango Satay Slaw and Agedashi Tofu."

"Mila Plant Based is a newer vegan restaurant in Vancouver that opened in 2020. Located in Chinatown near Virtuous Pie, the restaurant has an elevated but still casual feel. The dishes are on the pricier side, but I think it’s worth it!"

"This spot has a menu full of delicious pizza and pasta among other things. And of course, they have an amazing patio that is perfect for outdoor dining. So if you live downtown or need a spot to check out after work, this might just be it."
