About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Neighborhood gem
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!

    The hostess was very dispassionate and ran to the table to seat us. We arrived about 30 seconds after her. She had plunked the menus down and was already gone by the time we got there. The food was excellent, but the service was very slow. We sat outside, and it didn’t seem busy, but I can’t speak to how full it was inside.

    Lovely spot, and the hostess kindly worked with us to find a suitable table after a few attempts. Great service, esp. considering how busy with venue was with a wedding on site as well. Beautiful location. Thank you.

    This was our second time at Dockside. It was wonderful!! I had the salmon with gnocchi which was fantastic. My husband had the ling cod which he loved. We sampled the hummus appetizer - certainly enough for four people. Recommend the beet and walnut salad. Wonderful flavors and the pear and fennel really kicked it up a notch. Dined outside which made it a wonderful evening. Will go again when we’re in Vancouver!

    Our server Connie was the loveliest person. She took the time to chat with everyone while still making sure everyone was served in a timely manner. Poached eggs were cooked beautifully, latte was made well and we truly enjoyed it all.

    We ordered the Mediterranean platter for two. It was a very nice presentation but the chicken and beef skewers were dry and overcooked. The ambience of the restaurant and overlooking the water was fabulous! Would definitely go back and try something else on the menu.

    Beautiful surroundings on a sunny day in Vancouver. Waitstaff was attentive though not particularly knowledgeable about the wine list. Food was serviceable, though at prices a more epicurean establishment would command. Overall a lovely experience due to the beautiful patio and great weather.
