Foodie Experiences
Built out over the water on the old Victory Shipyards boardwalk, with 180 degrees of downtown Vancouver on the other side of the glass.
Wallace Mews, The Shipyards
More infoPier 7 stands on the boardwalk of the historic Victory Shipyards, which means the building is essentially over the water and the glass is doing the heavy lifting. The view runs a full 180 degrees across the harbour to the downtown skyline, with the Lonsdale Quay SeaBus traffic and the occasional absurd superyacht passing in the foreground. There are two levels of ocean-view dining and two patios, one of them with a fireplace, and the kitchen keeps to boat-to-table seafood with seasonal West Coast plates around it. The Shipyards plaza is right outside for a walk afterwards.
This is a view restaurant, so the booking matters more than the order: ask for the water side or the upper patio, and say so when you reserve rather than hoping. There is a fireplace on one of the patios, which makes the outside table viable well past summer. Lean seafood; that is what the kitchen is set up for. On Saturdays, Sundays and holiday Mondays a separate morning menu runs from 10:30 until 2. Park in the Lonsdale Quay parkade or the Shipyards lots, then walk the plaza and the pier afterwards.
