The Cannery

A GuestLife Vancouver
Great Restaurant

Located in the scenic Port of Vancouver, The Cannery Seafood Restaurant has been a local favourite since 1971. Among the surrounding fisheries, The Cannery exemplifies the simple and rustic style of a traditional West Coast fish cannery with a mix of nautical artifacts enhancing the breathtaking views of the dynamic harbour.

The natural waterfront beauty and ambiance of the Cannery is the perfect complement to Executive Chef Frederic Couton’s vibrant cuisine. Integrating his French heritage and innovative cooking techniques, he combines international flavours with the freshest local and exotic produce. “One of my goals is to entice a new generation of diners, with their sense of culinary adventure, to come and rediscover The Cannery,” says Couton.

You can also enjoy The Cannery at home with Chef Couton’s Cookbook, recipient of Vancouver magazine’s 2005 Gold Medal for “Best Food/Wine Book of the Year,” or with our famous secret ingredient, The Cannery’s Lobster Oil.

The staff and management philosophy is to offer guests more than they expect, ensuring a memorable culinary experience. This commitment to excellence is also reflected in our extensive wine list, which specializes in the best of Old World and West Coast wineries, and has won more than 36 Awards of Excellence between The Wine Spectator and Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Competition.

The private dock has now been extended to 140 feet, allowing more boats, yachts and charters of all sizes to sail to The Cannery. Also, “Be part of the view” with Ports Alive. Experience a unique and intimate tour of the Harbour, followed by the ultimate dining experience in a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
