Seafood Under the Bridge at The Sandbar

Granville Island's under-the-bridge seafood institution, where the oysters are cold, the sushi bar hums, and False Creek handles the mood lighting.

Granville Island, under the bridge

More info

The date

The Sandbar has spent decades proving the best table in Vancouver is sometimes literally under a bridge. Tucked beneath the Granville Street Bridge on the lip of False Creek, it runs cold oysters, cedar-plank salmon, and a proper sushi bar past big windows while boats drift by and a band plays in the lounge. Aim for sunset, split a tower of shellfish, and let the water do the talking.
