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!

    Dockside Cafe is the best kept secret in Vancouver. The views are outstanding. The food is excellent, as good as you will find anywhere. The service is first class. Why more people don’t go is a mystery. Don’t wait. Try it.

    Really enjoyed my evening here. Great ambiance and waterfront views, fantastic service and supremely delicious food. The steelhead was wonderful and the summer citrus dessert packed a real punch, masterfully combining interesting flavors and textures for a phenomenal culinary delight! I highly recommend treating yourself to a dining experience at Dockside!

    Booked from website where says: Patio is open, reserve now. My reservation notes said: Husband's birthday. Nice table on patio. Hostess: didn't smile, didn't say hi, took me to the table, I had to run behind her, so fast she was. Patio is closed now until next summer. She didn't say anything, I had to ask. Put us on a table with busser station behind us where the guy opened and closed the door, got cups and cleaners all night long. Didn't let us change table. Food: very bad for what I expected and for the price. Tasted frozen fish. Waiter: saved the night because he was super nice. Tood H. Went over and beyond to try to make it a better experience. Thank you.

    Could have been more attention to detail and check in on us. It also was their birthday as I mentioned in the reservation and they did nothing.

    The food and the view were excellent. The service was discreet and never rushed. It was a wonderful place to have a delicious meal and not have to yell to be heard by my dinner companion and me.
