The Top 10 Seafood Near The Salted Vine Kitchen + Bar
-
Rank 1. Boulevard
Seafood
Fine dining at its most confident, Boulevard is the kind of place where special occasions actually feel special without any of the stuffiness. Roger Ma is genuinely one of the best chefs in the city, and the room earns its price tag, all marble bars, leather booths, and low romantic lighting. Dress up a little, order the oysters, and settle in with the kind of crowd that booked this table three weeks ago.

Rank 3. Wild Blue
Seafood
Whistler has no shortage of resort restaurants coasting on captive audiences, but Wild Blue is the one locals actually choose, which tells you everything. It's an upscale seafood spot with the kind of room that makes a dinner feel like an occasion, and the kitchen earns the atmosphere with beautifully composed West Coast cooking. The late-night menu is the town's open secret for extending the evening without losing the quality.

Rank 5. Song
Thai
Song pulls off the tricky balance of feeling like a neighbourhood hangout while serving Thai food complex enough to earn a Michelin Bib Gourmand. The room fills with groups who came for a casual Tuesday and ended up staying for one more round. The green curry beef shank is the kind of dish people talk about on the way home, and the pomelo salad is genuinely hard to stop eating.

Rank 6. Fanny Bay Oyster Bar
Seafood
If you're serious about oysters, this is your spot. Fanny Bay is a seafood bar and market near the stadium district that sources from its own shellfish farms, so the raw bar is the real reason to show up. The crowd leans local and loud on game days, quieter and equally happy the rest of the time. Grab a stool, order a round of whatever's freshly shucked, and don't overthink it.

Rank 7. Bravo
Seafood
A buzzy, seafood-focused neighborhood spot on Fraser that punches well above its zip code, with a Michelin nod and a Vancouver Magazine award to back it up. The menu is small and changes often, built around bold, punchy flavors and a serious dry-aged fish program you won't find many places doing this well. The room has real energy, the bar is thoughtful, and the crowd is the kind that actually knows what they ordered.
