Top Best Seafood Restaurants in Surrey

"Joe Fortes has been a Vancouver staple since it opened in 1985, and it’s still as charming as it’s always been. It’s a three-storey restaurant with a lot of chandeliers, servers wearing ties, and the occasional piano player, and while you can dress up to go here, you’ll also see people in jean shorts who have just gone shopping on Robson St. Their rooftop, which is only open during the summer, is the best spot in the house and worth waiting for a seat. Go for Happy Hour - just make sure you get there early to get in line - or head downstairs and enjoy things like lobster rolls, seafood towers, and prawn cocktails while you watch their staff shuck oysters a lot faster than you’ll ever be able to."

"A post shared by Joe Fortes Seafood &Chop House (@joefortesvan). Joe Fortes is an institution in the Vancouver food scene that brings a lot with it, including an unmatched rooftop garden patio barely visible from the street. This awesome spot comes with expert service and a relaxing paradise-like atmosphere."

"A post shared by Blue Water Cafe (@bluewatercafe) on Aug 29, 2017 at 5:24pm PDT. Synonymous with Vancouver seafood, Yaletown’s Blue Water Cafe offers a stellar selection of sea to table offerings like sushi, a raw bar, and oysters, along with an incredible wine list in a room that makes you feel like an A-lister every time you dine there. Address: 1095 Hamilton Street, VancouverNeighbourhood: YaletownPhone: +1-604-688-9878Facebook | Twitter | Instagram"

"Largely considered the current king of seafood fine dining in Vancouver, Blue Water is one of those enduring restaurants that is on most people's goals list. Executive Chef Frank Pabst is renown for his visionary cooking and championing of B.C.'s incredible seafood. From their incredible raw bar and on-ice selections to meticulous hot dishes, Blue Water is the epitome of seafood excellence in this city."

"Located in the heart of Yaletown, Blue Water Cafe tops most lists of best Vancouver seafood restaurants and is a favourite among locals, visitors and celebrities alike. Featuring an abundant selection of fresh, West Coast fare, Ocean Wise sustainable fish, oysters, sushi and sashimi, everything at Blue Water is five-star amazing."

"If you’ve never tried Peruvian-Japanese food, then here’s your chance in one of the city’s most picture-perfect locations on the seawall overlooking False Creek. The early-bird prix fixe menu offers excellent value and a chance to sample some of the restaurant’s high points, but the real star is the Ancora Glacier, a funky take on a seafood tower. You’ll swoon over the creamy whipped cold causa topped with juicy Dungeness crab and Salt Spring Island mussel escabeche."

"Ancora's Executive Chef, Ricardo Valverde, brings more than a decade of culinary experience to the kitchen. Also in the kitchen is Chef Yoshihiro Tabo. Coming from Japan, he leads the restaurant's raw bar, also bringing years of experience and incredible talent."

"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."

"Located in the heart of Yaletown, this Vancouver sushi restaurant focuses on delicious and sustainable Japanese seafood dishes with a stylish display. Minami is also known for their melt in your mouth Aburi sushi, specifically their appetizers. The quality is high end and the staff is very knowledgable."

"Introducing Aburi To-Go, our newest takeaway menu concept available exclusively at Miku and Minami on UberEats. Available 12PM – 8:30PM, Monday to Saturday. Aburi To-Go is also available"

"As an early adopter and influencer of the sustainable seafood movement, Chef Clark has brought his passion and skill to The Fish Counter. He co-founded this grocer/casual cafe with marine biologist and former Ocean Wise manager at the Vancouver Aquarium,, Mike McDermid. It's safe to say that these guys know their stuff."

"Though Vancouverites may remember him as the high-end chef at the long-gone C, he and Mike McDermid not only founded Ocean Wise in 2005, but also transitioned to The Fish Counter in 2014, opening the hybrid seafood shop and casual eatery best known for their Fish & Chips. Address: 3825 Main Street"

"3825 Main St, Vancouver Tel: 604-876-3474 Web: http://thefishcounter.com/ Twitter: @thefishcounter Advice: Closed Mondays, no seats, stand-up counter for eating inside or take it to go. If you have been following the sustainability seafood movement locally in recent years, then you…"

"The lowdown: Yuwa inhabits the same West Side location that previously housed city-favourite Zest, and is already an award-winner in its own right. Opened two years ago by classically-trained chef Masahiro Omori and sake sommelier Iori Kataoka, Yuwa takes a modern approach to the kaiseiki style of dining (traditionally, a multi-course meal). Don’t miss out on: Yuwa’s umami-rich shoya dashi mirin stock, which forms the base of many dishes, such as the hearty Chicken Tsumire-ni—chicken thigh meatballs with shimeji and oyster mushrooms."

"And, then there’s Yuwa, the award-winning spot that brings you a lush and stunning patio-dining experience in a style all their own. With its deep green foliage and bright pops of red umbrellas, everything about this eatery is cheerful and perfect for a pick-me-up meal. Enjoy a light and crispy Tempura with a sweet dashi broth and a savory matcha salt."

"Tucked away in the heart of Vancouver’s West Side, Yuwa Japanese Cuisine is an elegant enclave where a creative homage to regional Japanese fare is complemented by one of the city’s best selections of artisan sake and wine."

"While most of the notable Chinese spots in the area are located beyond the Vancouver city limits in suburban Richmond, Dynasty is one of the exceptions. Specializing in Chiuchow cuisine, a sub-style of Cantonese cookery, Dynasty’s menu respects its birthplace: expect plenty of seafood, vegetables, and subtle, delicate flavors. The restaurant's reputation was largely built through the efforts of now-retired chef Sam Leung, who, in addition to employing classic Chiuchow approaches, wasn’t afraid to color outside the lines."

"Dynasty boasts twinkling chandeliers, views over the city from its first-floor perch on West Broadway, and, thanks to chef Sam Leung, some of the city’s best modern Chinese food. Open daily from 10 a.m. for dim sum, its standouts are the buttery barbecue pork cha siu bao with baked lemon, and the silky, wafer-thin dumplings stuffed with fresh shrimp, scallops, and black truffles."

"A post shared by Bill Addison (@bill_addison) on Dec 7, 2017 at 7:52pm PST. Another exceptional place to get traditional Chinese fare. This West Broadway restaurant is a fantastic spot for Dim Sum as well."

"If you happen to be hungry and in Stanley Park, we recommend making a pit stop at The Teahouse Restaurant for a meal or a drink in its charming conservatory. Address: 7501 Stanley Park Drive, VancouverPhone: 604-669-3281. Facebook | Instagram"

"With towering trees in its backyard and the ocean at its front door, the breathtaking view of English Bay and the..."

"A post shared by Bridges Restaurant (@bridgesvancouver) on Aug 26, 2018 at 8:36am PDT. This is one of the largest patios in the Vancouver area with one of the best views. Not to mention, Bridges also has two patios, which means double the opportunity to soak up some sunshine."

"A post shared by The Granville Warehouse (@thegranvillewarehouse) on Nov 8, 2017 at 12:34pm PST. If you’re willing to battle through the loud music and dim lighting, you’re in for a wide range of dishes that cost no more than $4.95. Not just that, but there’s always a solid weekday special going on – AYCE pasta and Wing Wednesdays, for starters."

"This small tasting room found along the Adnac bike route is a must-visit when touring Vancouver’s beer scene, for the beer as much as for the story (but mainly for the beer.) Some guys who played on a hockey team called “the Bombers” convinced one of their teammates who made a bangin’ home brew to open a brewery. Next thing you know, Bomber Brewing was born. Hockey to craft beer?"

"Between the Bomber Russian Imperial Stout and the Parklife Passion Fruit Ale, you’ve got two killer beers. The tap room is small but cozy and that Adanac street beer route is fantastic."

"A relatively new name in the city, Mello has opted for a pretty specific type of donut- brioche, and essentially all the filled versions. What that means for us is an array of some delicious flavours, ranging from London Fog to Black Sesame and classic Strawberry. Pro tip- you get a pretty serious discount buying a half-dozen, so maybe take these to your next small dinner party as dessert."

"We couldn’t write a list of the best donuts in Vancouver without including this absolute titan. We’re not going to sit here and say it’s off the charts, flavour-wise. But, there’s no denying that Duffin’s is a magical place in Vancouver, has a tremendous range of donuts to choose from, and the best value in the city by far."

"A post shared by Duffins Donuts (@duffins_donuts) on Jul 4, 2017 at 8:45am PDT. A hidden Vancouver gem, Duffin’s is open 24 hours a day and has an enticing menu full of cheap eats. Their subs sell for less than $5, they have an all-day breakfast for $4.75, and of course, fresh doughnuts."

"Their 30-year run of fresh baked and prepared in-house donuts has made them a Vancouver staple. They offer 50 varieties and also serve fried chicken, Chinese food, and torta subs and are open 24 hours a day. What more could you ask of donut shop?"

"Lined with logs for the sun spectators, this is the place to reflect on the day and take a few photos of some of the most vibrant sunsets you’ll probably ever see in your life. Sunset Beach Park is also home to an interesting art piece called Engagement, a 30 foot sculpture of two wedding rings. These were created by world famous artist Dennis Oppenheim, as part of the Vancouver Biennale."

"Sunset Beach is a popular destination, especially in the summer, but the green space behind the beach is equally as popular with locals looking for a place to play a game of soccer, meet friends and soak up the sunshine. Grab a drink from the concession stand and spread out on the grass - on a very hot day you might see someone bringing a slip N slide for everyone to slide down the hill."

"Sunset Beach Park does not put its name to shame, and the stunning sunsets you’ll see here while chatting with a friend over a few bites or brews will be worth the wait. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by Kritsada Akkhapracha (@fedexfc)"
