Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in North Vancouver

From the ladies at the front dealing with reservations to our amazing server it was first class all the way! Staff were warm and friendly. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and the food was good. Thank you for such caring service. I will be back and recommend to my friends

Tap & Barrel - Shipyard: A Perfect Valentine’s Dinner with an Amazing View We visited Tap & Barrel - Shipyard for Valentine’s Day dinner, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Thanks to our reservation, we were seated immediately with no wait time. The service was quick, and everything we ordered arrived exactly as requested. For our meal, we ordered Pesto Chicken Linguine, Truffle Potato, Lettuce Chicken Wrap, and their famous Fat Tug IPA. Each dish was beautifully presented and tasted great, but the highlight was definitely the Fat Tug IPA—its citrusy, aromatic taste is truly top-notch. The restaurant itself is one of Vancouver’s most unique dining spots. Located on the waterfront in an old shipyard, it offers a stunning atmosphere, cozy ambiance, and breathtaking views. It’s the perfect place for a special occasion or a casual lunch or dinner. There is a paid parking lot just a few minutes away, which adds to the convenience. I highly recommend Tap & Barrel - Shipyard for anyone looking for great food, craft beer, and an unforgettable dining experience with a view!

We’ve been here many times, I think Valentine’s Day made it not quite as smooth of an experience as usual. The cocktails were top notch, the sablefish risotto was fantastic, pizza amazing as always, the burger was good but not as good as previous ones. My only negative comment on this restaurant is the metal chair legs on the concrete floors are horrendously noisy and it takes away from the atmosphere. Still love this place and truly understand the Michelin Recommended!

Food was excellent - fantastic seafood. Service was was attentive and very friendly. Thank you for a nice meal!

We had the combination dine-out and single entree. highly recommend the hamachi, steak poivre and the steelhead salmon. there is something quite genius about combining a beautifully delicate fish with a mild tzaziki and fingerling potato with real crab. fresh and lemony. i would have never thought to pair these flavours like this. amazing.
