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.
