About the restaurant

Since 1975, this popular breakfast, brunch and lunch spot has satisfied the hunger cravings of British Columbians thanks to a tasty menu of sweet and savoury treats. Arrive hungry and order the signature Dutch Pannekoek, which tastes similar to a North American pancake but is only slightly thicker than a crepe. Fun fact: the large pannekoek can be cut into 113 square one-inch bites. Popular toppings for this substantial meal include The Canadian with bacon, eggs, tomatoes and maple syrup, and The Trail Mix with trail mix, honey and hot cinnamon-dusted apples. Located in the Convention Centre West, the Burrard Landing location offers stunning views of Stanley park and the North Shore.

Simple, fresh, local and handcrafted. Our waterfront Vancouver restaurant, ARC, is the perfect West Coast Setting to enjoy urban artisan food.

We were present for the WICKED Experience. The ladies working were wonderful. An amazing ray of teas to choose from. I really liked the small pots idea as we were able to sample several teas in one sitting. Scones were a bit hard and the sweets weren't my favorite. But overall lovely first meal in Canada.

First time going to Honey Salt. We have 3 bdays in the family all on one day. Honey Salt service was amazing. They went beyond expectations and catered to an allergy at the table with a surprise treat completely unasked for as they were not aware of the allergy to begin with as it had not been noted on the reservation. The service & awareness this was a special day for us made our dining experience wonderful. Thank you Honey Salt.

Great service always, the quality of the dishes had improved a lot! The pianist was trying hard to be creative, but when it came to birthday song, she should stay with the original tune so the party can sing along!
