Dockside Restaurant
4.4 (3928)
CAN$30 and under
Regional American (Northwest)
Granville Island
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!

I love Dockside because of the ambience, food and service. I always take out of town guests there and we are never disappointed. 😢

Exactly what my siblings and I were looking for mid-afternoon on a sunny Sunday. The food was delicious and the menu had enough options to satisfy each of us. Great view and wonderful service. Treated like royalty but with no pretence. Like family on a good day. 😃 Will definitely be back to try some other dishes but it will be hard to resist a revisit to the cod and chips. Very enjoyable.

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
