Top Best Seafood Restaurants in Richmond

"Joe Fortes bills its rooftop space as a garden rather than a patio – and it’s easy to see why. The lush plants and living wall create a green oasis perched above the hustle and bustle of Robson Street. The rooftop bar is a prime place for a chilled glass from the award-winning wine list."

"The quintessential spot for seafood in Vancouver also has a great rooftop patio. It’s the perfect place to kick your feet up after shopping on Robson or visiting the art gallery. All in all, it’s hard to deny that Forte’s has one of the best patios in Vancouver."

"The relaxing patio has a living green wall, cozy outdoor fireplace, and a bustling horseshoe-shaped bar. Patio aside, the atmosphere and happy hour, which runs from 4 pm to 6 pm, are also good reasons to make a visit."

"Under celebrated executive chef Frank Pabst, this is one of Vancouver's best high-concept seafood restaurants. Gentle music fills the brick-lined, blue-hued interior, while top-notch char, sturgeon and... Top ChoiceMexican in Downtown & West End"

"Routinely crowned the city’s top seafood restaurant, Blue Water Cafe is also among the continent’s best. After honing his skills at Michelin-starred restaurants in Europe, executive chef Frank Pabst opened this Yaletown classic to..."

"One of the more upscale spots on this list, but hoo boy, is it worth it. Get ready to drop a fair amount of cash for an incredible meal. Heck, go pick out a lobster from one of their live tanks."

"The Peruvian-influenced shellfish platters at Ancora no doubt help maintain its podium standing, but the waterfront views from this white-tablecloth room certainly don’t hurt. Executive chef Ricardo Valverde turns Ocean Wise ingredients into works of art in this upscale setting, serving up beautiful plates of Haida Gwaii halibut, grilled octopus anticucho and sablefish with smoked potato purée. 1600 Howe St., ancoradining.com"

"A post shared by Ancora Waterfront Dining (@ancoradining) on Mar 25, 2019 at 10:38am PDT. With two locations situated right by the water, Ancora will offer you an amazing fusion of Peruvian and Japanese seafood cuisine. The two unlikely pairings truly offer Vancouver something different than other seafood restaurants."

"Set along Vancouver’s picturesque False Creek seawall, Ancora Waterfront Dining offers every diner gorgeous outdoor views, and scrumptious seafood. It’s a must-visit spot if you’re looking for those breaths of fresh air, and a solid seafood meal too. Enjoy some fresh oysters, or a vegetarian ceviche."

"The speciality at Yaletown’s Minami is aburi oshi sushi—lightly pressed and flame-torched rectangles of saucy, mouth-melting sushi bliss. Rolls here are delicious, but nothing compares to the buttery bite of the salmon oshi sushi (easily reason enough to visit) and the lime-spiked bite of the ebi oshi. The atmosphere, in keeping with the neighbourhood’s yuppie-ish character, is slickly refined and “big date” appropriate, though you may easily pop in for a casual lunch."

"A post shared by Sylvia (@sylviatuason) on Oct 1, 2018 at 10:26pm PDT. This celebrated Yaletown sushi restaurant offers incredible eats and a delightful hidden patio to match. It’s intimate and surrounded by a beautiful garden – you instantly forget which neighbourhood you’re relaxing in once you sit here for a while."

"Sometimes it’s nice to just tuck into some fish and chips, and our top choice for that is the Fish Counter. Half market, half counter-service take out spot, these folks offer four different kinds of the staple dish. Feeling like a sandwich?"

"The Holy Crab is where you go for the kind of seafood that requires butcher paper spread on the table and an ample supply of napkins. Inspired by Louisiana spicy seafood boils, here you'll really get your hands dirty tucking into your choice of crab legs, clams, shrimp, crawfish, and more tossed in either a Cajun or Garlic sauce. Plus they do seafood rolls, and often kick things up with fun food challenges and specials."

"A post shared by The Holy Crab Canada (@theholycrabca) on Apr 19, 2019 at 1:46pm PDT. Craving some Southern-style seafood?. Look no further than The Holy Crab."

"Perfect for antsy picky kids with food made from mostly local, organic and sustainable ingredients, this super cool eatery’s Dine Out menu features Grass-fed BBC Cheeseburger and fries, a Crispy Chicken Sandwich, or a house-made falafel sandwich and one of its signature Puffcreams for dessert. It’s takeout so safe and the kids can chase seagulls outside. Ferry dock on Granville Island, Wednesday to Sunday from 11 am to 5 pm, 604 428 7518"

"Speaking of crazy ice cream creations, it’s hard to overlook the ‘Puffcream’ at Popina. If you think about it, it’s simply a hilariously overfilled cream puff with some added toppings, but dang if it doesn’t look delicious and taste the part!. We think this is a great option for a sweet treat while you’re waltzing around Granville Island, so make sure to try it out yourself."

"A post shared by Popinavancouver (@popinavancouver) on Apr 20, 2019 at 8:58pm PDT. Popina has already made a wave in the Vancouver seafood restaurant scene. This spot is counter service done well, and that’s why this spot is on a ton of people’s seafood lists."

"If you’re looking for a waterfront seafood restaurant with spectacular views of Downtown Vancouver then look no further. Located in the Shipyards District, Pier 7 is renown for their great happy hour specials, fresh local seafood and perhaps the best patio in North Vancouver. I like to come here for their spectacular seafood boils on Thursdays and Sundays."

"With 180° ocean front views of the downtown Vancouver skyline and Stanley Park, no other restaurant in North Vancouver gets you this close to the water. PIER 7, sits in the revitalized Lower Lonsdale Shipyards and is right next to the Lonsdale Quay, shops & attractions.Open 7-days a week for lunch,...See more"

"A post shared by Kevin Garcia (@ebunkebun) on Dec 18, 2017 at 10:32pm PST. There’s never a bad time for breakfast food, and thankfully when the craving strikes, Lucy’s is open 24-hours a day. Amongst other classic diner style foods, you can get their All Day & Night Breakfast special for less than $10 – though you’ll definitely be tempted by the rest of the goodies on their menu."

"A post shared by Lucy’s Eastside Diner (@lucyseastsidediner). Lucy’s Eastside Diner is an all-day breakfast joint that invokes the spirit of the classic North American diner with an unexpected flair. Their menu offers a basic buttermilk pancake stack and a pulled pork variety also."

"A post shared by Isabella | Vancouver (@roostervelt) on Feb 11, 2016 at 7:53pm PST. A 24-hour eatery with retro décor that whips up some delicious eats. They have an all day and all night breakfast special for those who like to eat breakfast food all the time."

"The menu has meat, vegetarian and vegan options, so it’s a great spot if you’re with a group or nursing a hangover with friends. For brunch, I love the green curry hash, polenta omelets and if I’m feelin’ dirty, the vegan breakfast poutine. It opens at 9:00am, so get there early as it can fill up quickly on weekends."

"So there’s one reason I will send you to the wallflower and if you do choose to go, you absolutely cannot go without trying the vegetarian poutine. For those newbies to Canada, poutine is a local delicacy from the Quebec region that has since made its mark all over Canada. So what is it exactly?"

"A locals' favourite, The Wallflower has something for everyone, including vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options. For brunch, try their polenta omelette (my favourite 'egg' dish in town!)."

"Sushi in Vancouver is du rigeur, and this happy place on Main Street offers a vast number of specialty rolls that range from the Paparazzi roll (spicy tuna with tuna tataki and onion) to the Jumpin Dessert Roll (cream cheese, fresh fruit and pop rocks). Dine in or take away."

"A sleeper hit, Sushi Mania on Main Street is a great choice in a city that has intense competition for sushi places. All sushi combos are under $10, and udon bowls are 6 bucks. Definitely our top pick for a budget sushi spot to check out in Vancouver."

"Nu Sushi is actually located in Burnaby, but I figured I’d include it anyway. Their Salmon Oshi is awesome, and their Chicken Karaage is the best we’ve ever had. LOCATION: 3787 Canada Way #100, Burnaby, BC"

"Custom ordered an elaborate cake and it was absolutely fabulous. Everyone was raving how delicious it was!. Thank you for all your hard work, it was truly a stunning cake."

"If you’re in the mood to get together with a few close friends, or just want to hang out alone with a steaming cup of your favored drink, a creamy slice of cake, some rich chewy cookies, or a super buttery croissant, then Mount Pleasant‘s Trafiq Cafe & Bakery is the place for you. This delightful spot is a haven for tea and coffee lovers, and especially those who enjoy a little sweet treat on the side. When you visit Trafiq, be sure to sample their signature Schnecken Buns for some gooey goodness (take some home for breakfast the next day,) and also a slice of Salted Caramel Cake."

"A warm and roomy corner on Vancouver’s bustling Main Street, Trafiq Bakery & Cafe makes for a perfect spot to drop by for a coffee break, breakfast or lunch… or to be straightforward, their insanely good Salted Caramel Cake and Matcha Tart. Trafiq specializes in their own variety of house-made buttery croissants, pastries, sandwiches and bread, but it’s the above two that are breaking the ceiling. If a single salted caramel cake is not enough for you, they even cater tiered cakes (6” cake on top of a 10” one)."

"A post shared by Alana Yee (@yvreats) on Feb 25, 2018 at 8:35pm PST. Trafiq’s multi-layered cakes are loved by Vancouverites and they come in a variety of flavours. Try their signature salted caramel, drizzled with homemade caramel sauc,e or the carrot cake, which is iced with a decadent cream cheese frosting."
