Kitsilano

About the restaurant

Oddfish is a Seafood and Vegetable focused restaurant. Ethically sourced and high quality ingredients are what you will find here with the focus being on the food - not the fuss. In regard to the wine list - approachable and interesting with a great price point is our goal. The atmosphere is casual and fun. We are a neighbourhood restaurant that others from outside the neighbourhood come to for that welcoming atmosphere. We are the same people who created Nook and Tavola restaurants.

Nice looking restaruant, not too far from the seawall. The tasting menu is great, and the staff were all freindly and knowledgable about the dishes. One small downside is that there isn't an area to hand coats. And the chairs (as comfortable as they are), aren't a great shape for keeping coats/jackets from falling on the floor.

Fairview

About the restaurant

Taking cues from Italy’s storied south, with its famed coasts and islands, rich history, and relaxed lifestyle, Elio Volpe celebrates the best ingredients from the Pacific Northwest as inspired by il Mezzogiorno — the ancient seafaring term for the wind from the south, now colloquially used to describe that part of the country. Above all else, Elio, like its cousin Savio Volpe, celebrates liveliness, warmth and hospitality. Viva la convivialità!

Reservations are available for dinner from 5 pm to 10 pm every night, and for brunch on Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays from 10 am to 1:30 pm. Please note, we are unable to accommodate outside food in the restaurant, including birthday cakes. We do our best to accommodate special requests but are unable to guarantee requests for specific tables.

We look forward to breaking bread with you!
