Dundarave Pier, foot of 25th St
More infoThe building went up in 1912 as the Clachan, a tea room and hotel for ferry passengers, and has been feeding West Vancouver in one form or another ever since. The 2019 rebuild took out the fireplace and the television for one reason: so nothing blocks the water. South-facing windows now look straight down Burrard Inlet, the walls carry West Vancouver Archives photographs alongside Gordon Smith and Susan Point works, and the pergola patio has three retractable roofs and heaters, so it works in February as well as July. The menu rotates around whatever seafood is in season. Dundarave Pier is thirty steps away.
Book, and when you book ask for a window or the covered patio; the whole point of the 2019 rebuild was the water view, so a table facing away is a wasted trip. Seating is capped at two hours for parties of four or fewer, which is plenty. Order from the rotating seafood side of the menu rather than the steaks, the sablefish and the seared salmon are what the kitchen is actually built for, and expect mains in the $30s to $60s. Park free in the Dundarave Park lot at the foot of 25th, then walk out onto the pier afterwards.
