Pier 7 Restaurant

Located in the Shipyards District, the Pier 7 Restaurant + Bar is a North Vancouver restaurant that specializes in seafood and beautiful waterfront views.

Pier 7 is a great place for lunch, dinner, brunch and drinks, especially on the patio on warm sunny days. The restaurant serves excellent food and has some of the best views in the region.

Restaurants related to the Pier 7 include The Lobby (also in North Vancouver’s Shipyards District), Tutto (which is a great Italian place in Yaletown), and the P2B Bistro (which is at the Pinnacle Harbourfront Hotel in downtown Vancouver).

Pier 7 Restaurant + Bar in North Vancouver

Pier 7 is an upscale seafood restaurant and bar situated right on the North Shore waterfront. Although the restaurant is in a stand-alone building, Pier 7 is related to the Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier and The Lobby Restaurant which are on the other side of Shipbuilders’ Square just a 60-second walk away. In fact, the hotel and both restaurants are owned by the same local company.

The Pier 7 restaurant offers stunning views of Vancouver’s skyline from the Shipyards District. When we visited for lunch recently, we sat at a corner table inside, facing south towards downtown Vancouver. Tall windows provide natural light and scenery. Our table was flooded with sun. We had an unobsructed view of the ocean, Vancouver’s downtown skyscrapers, seaplanes landing every few minutes and the majestic cruiser liners berthed at Canada Place across from the North Shore.

Pier 7 also has a very popular covered outdoor patio that’s heated during cooler times of the year. In the summer, there is live music on three or so evenings per week. The restaurant also has seating upstairs for even more beautiful views. Dining upstairs, though, is open only from 6:00 pm onwards

One of us had mussels which came in a delicious white wine sauce. They were really good! Another in our party had tiger prawns as a starter, served on a bed of ice, a wedge of lemon, and a dipping cocktail sauce. That too was really nice. We also had the burrata (cheese) appetizer, which was amazing. As well, we really enjoyed the blackened salmon and prawns. Everything we’ve had at Pier 7 has always been excellent.
