This was a last-minute reservation to check out the NY Polar Bear Swim at Kits Beach! Since my mom had never seen one, nor visited this boathouse location, I thought we should come and see if we’d get lucky with front-row seats—and yes, the Boathouse delivered! We were ushered to window seats facing Kits Beach in a nice, heated space. We loved our server Lauren’s recommendations and thoroughly enjoyed the oyster sampler from PEI. My mom also loved the Monte Cristo. We then shared the bruschetta board, tuna tacos, and delicious mussels! Lauren’s warm smile and outstanding service made our meal even more enjoyable. My mom especially appreciated her attentiveness in ensuring plenty of hot water—a must for older Asian ladies, lol. Overall, this was a great lunch spot, and we look forward to visiting again!

Granville Island

About the restaurant

Located on the waterfront where Granville Island faces the city, guests can enjoy panoramic views across False Creek to the world-famous cityscape of Yaletown and beyond to the mountains of the North Shore.

The open dining room is relaxed yet refined, wrapped in spectacular floor to ceiling windows, while the lounge offers warm intimate surroundings for evening cocktails.

The award-winning seasonal patio (patio closed October to March) catches sunlight from morning to afternoon and is an oasis of calm, disturbed only by the occasional sound of boats making their way along False Creek.

Whether dining inside or outside the views are stunning!

About the restaurant

Specializing in aburi, or flamed-seared, sushi, the act of applying flame directly and lightly searing sushi enhances the natural flavours and textures of the seafood. Miku owner, Seigo Nakamura, innovated the Aburi concept by crafting specialty sauces using non-traditional Japanese ingredients to pair with each type of fish.

Located at the corner of Howe Street and Canada Place Way

The staff was exceptional and very attentive to our group. The food was great, everything was good. They make their own hamburger which is not common and gives the burgers added flavour. I am not sure $30 Burger is value but its was enjoyable and I would go again!
