jstroose1 Posted June 25, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2018 We are 4 people cruising from Vancouver in July. We would like to have dinner in town the day before our ship departs. Can anyone recommend a nice restaurant preferably near Canada Place - hopefully with great views for dinner. We are pretty flexible - like nice dining but it doesn't need to be over the top - seafood, Italian - almost anything. Prefer entrees to be under $40.00.

Wandering_star Posted June 25, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Cardero's (https://www.vancouverdine.com/carderos/) - a bit of a walk from Canada Place (maybe 10-15 minutes, but it's a lovely walk right along the water) Cactus Club (https://www.cactusclubcafe.com/?utm_source=google-maps&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=coal-harbour) at the Convention Centre - local chain restaurant, but very popular There are a couple of other "pub" type restaurants at/near Canada Place - Tap and Barrel, Mahony and Sons. Around the corner from Canada Place, at the entrance of Gastown is Steamworks - great views here as well. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare martincath Posted June 25, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 25, 2018 If you mean under US$40 for entrees, then you can also add some very nice options - Five Sails inside the Pan Pacific has a beautiful dining room with sunset views, and Lift is the closest good resto to Stanley Park. You could actually include both of these even in CAD$, you'd just have to be a bit more careful with ordering (e.g. the Prix Fixe at Five Sails is a total steal for the quality, and Lift has so many really nice appies you can easily assemble a 2 appies/1 salad or side/1 dessert meal for a really good price point). Totes agree with Cactus Club, especially their Coal Harbour and English Bay locations (these are the only restos without a price bump for a Seawall location - they actually eat the extra tax that the park board levies and keep prices the same as all their other venues). If the view is the most important thing, no real foodies in the group, then the rotating resto of the Harbour Centre provides the most expansive views in the city - the food's perfectly decent, just over-priced for the quality as you are paying for that view (same as every high-up/rotating resto in the world). I've taken my parents up here every time they've visited as a decent meal is all they require rather than anything fancy and they've always enjoyed it.

em-sk Posted June 27, 2018 #5 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Another option is to walk over to Waterfront station. Take the sea bus across the harbour to North Vancouver. The cross is 5-10 minutes, from Lonsdale Quey is a public market, excellent view back across the Harbour. After 6:30 the one-way crossing cost is $2.85 for adults and $1.80. Great view of downtown and pleasant walk around the water. A number of good restaurants near the public market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casavaha Posted July 24, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Carderos. When we got off the Golden, we walked to the restaurant. Sat on the balcony and ate wild silver salmon and enjoyed the view. 80+degrees. OUTSTANDING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
