Outstanding in Every Respect The Salmon House has been a (West) Vancouver mainstay for 45 years, which is a lifetime by today’s restaurant standards.... read moreThe Salmon House has been a (West) Vancouver mainstay for 45 years, which is a lifetime by today’s restaurant standards. In that time, they’ve accumulated numerous accolades, including positive word from the likes of the Vancouver Sun, VanFoodies.com, Lonely Planet and North Shore News, to name but a few. While I don’t often agree with the critics and pundits, I do think Lonely Planet gets it right with respect to Salmon House: An “old-school destination restaurant” that “doesn’t rest on its laurels.” Indeed, far from coasting on its name recognition, Salmon House delivers a classic seafood-based menu with little to no fuss!

I first became aware of Salmon House in 2010. At the time, I flagged it as a “must try” place by virtue of its association with other restaurants in the Geoff Howes group – Aqua Riva (closed in 2011) and Horizons (closed in 2020); however, I failed to note the “West” in Vancouver (an area I don’t frequent). Thus, visiting this establishment fell on the backburner for the better part of 11 years . . . odd how it took a pandemic for me to decide “now’s the time!”

Anyway, the family and I attended Salmon House for dinner in the final week of August. The hostess was pleasant and showed us to our table – a lovely booth near the impressive floor-to-ceiling windows. Upon being seated, I couldn’t help but be drawn to the deck and thus made my way outside to enjoy the unobstructed cliff-top city views of Vancouver. Walking outside, Burrard Inlet and Stanley Park immediately grab your attention and highlight, only too clearly, why Salmon House has become a destination restaurant for many: The setting can’t be beat and the food highlights some of BC’s best.

Reviewing the menu at Salmon House, it’s clear the focus is on fresh (seasonal) BC seafood and that, to me, is exciting. Why place emphasis on elsewhere when there’s so much to offer in our own beautiful Province? That said, we ordered a number of different items. To start, we had the homemade bread, Pan-Seared Scallops, Chili Prawn Spring Rolls, and a Caesar Salad. For our mains, we ordered the Salmon House Chowder, Lobster Pappardelle and the Seafood Tower for 2 (can you tell we were hungry?).

I won’t comment on each and every item, but there were some definite highlights:

House-Made Bread: I know it seems almost silly to comment on bread, but Salmon House’s ability to execute something so simple so well highlights, in the clearest possible way, their tendency towards a high quality product. The bread was warm and soft and came served with a beautiful smoked salmon butter. The salmon flavour was prominent, worked well with the bread and provided a preview of the deliciousness yet to come.

Pan-Seared Scallops: These were $6.50 each and came with an eggplant tomato confit, candied salmon (atop the scallop), Basil pesto and micro greens. We enjoyed the scallops – they were cooked to perfection and their presentation was spot-on; however, I do feel they might’ve been a little pricey for their size.

Chili Prawn Spring Rolls: Utilizing a simple and straightforward presentation, the ingredients were able to take center stage. The passion fruit vinaigrette worked well with the prawn and its accompanying fennel slaw.

Salmon House Chowder: Served in the Manhattan style, the House Chowder came loaded with fish, complemented by shrimp, carrots, celery and onions. It was hearty – as any good chowder should be – and highlighted some of Salmon House’s best qualities, namely their skill at bringing together a plethora of flavours into a single, delicious soup.

Seafood Tower for 2: Designed for those who’d like a bit of everything, the seafood tower gives you chilled and grilled fish as well as the “seafood feast bowl.” It’s a lot of food – I’d argue more than enough for even 3 people – but it places a strong emphasis on both fish and shellfish, making them the central ingredients. No fancy fillers here!

I’d be remiss if I failed to mention the service we received over the course of dinner. In short, it was exceptional. Our server checked in regularly – though not enough to be intrusive – to ensure everything was to our liking. Importantly, too, our water and beverage glasses were never left empty. Salmon House clearly understands the value of good customer service and the role it plays in the overall dining experience.

FOOD: 5/5
SERVICE: 5/5
VALUE: 5/5
RECOMMENDATION: With its relaxed atmosphere, superlative service and outstanding food, Salmon House has demonstrated how and why it’s been around for 45 years. The menu is straightforward BC-inspired seafood, but the execution is deceptively complex. The end result is an experience not soon forgotten. My only regret? That it took me 11 years to finally get here!

My issue was resolved by 'Diane' at Customer Service and finalized by 'Sunny Kim' at Head Office. It was resolved in a most professional, caring and respectful manner, as one could ever expect.

I too, have worked in 'customer service' for more than 35 years and know how people should be treated and how issues should be addressed. The ownership of this very reputable restaurant, should be very grateful and thankful for having these two very special employees.

Not just for the fact that this is a very well known venue but I will certainly return and forward off "my story" to my friends and colleagues on account of this 'class act' shown by these two individuals.

Thank YOU....for caring!
For that alone... I rate and give YOU ... "5*****'s"!!!!!

Your returning client.

With two young children, it can be a challenge, but they had plenty of high chairs, coloring material and a kids menu. When we requested options for the kids that weren't specifically put together on the menu for them, they put something special together and the kids ended up with a lovely pancake and eggs platter. Our meals were also really tasty. I had eggs Benedict which was served on I think it was a hash, not the usual muffin in any case. The staff were lovely, the location with a view is nice and the food was satisfying and worthwhile. We're looking forward to returning when things open up a bit more again! read less - 12/14/2020

We started with the pan seared scallops which, at $6.50 each, we imagined would be of a good size. They were tiny. Tasty but tiny. We had three each so it came to almost $40 just for the scallops. My wife had the halibut which was perfectly prepared and tender.

I have the 16 ounce rack of lamb which I had to send back because it was under cooked. I found it to be rather chewy and at $55 way overpriced.

With two drinks and the tip, the bill came to over $200. read less - 7/26/2020

It has been quite a while since we last enjoyed a meal at the Salmon House as my wife has a fish and seafood allergy but our friend loves seafood and this is the place to satisfy his food choice.
Our reservation was handled efficiently and our request for a window seat was met.
Much to our delight there was a special “Vancouver eat out” three course menu as well as their usual menu. We all took advantage of this special menu. Our friend ordered the coconut and carrot soup as an appetizer then salmon with vegetables and mashed potatoes. He waited to make his decision regarding desert. My wife ordered a regular beet and goat cheese salad for her appetizer. As expected she ordered beef filet which had several vegetables and fingerling potatoes. She also ordered her desert later. I ordered the Salmon House sampler which was three variations of seafood with a tasty dipping sauce. I also had the beef filet. I pre ordered my desert which was a flourless chocolate cake.
In addition our friend ordered a glass of white wine to go with his fish dish while my wife had a glass of red wine to compliment her beef.
Our meals arrived within a reasonable time period. We were pleased that our beef was done exactly to our specifications. I should point out that bread is not included with the meal and is an extra expense. My friend and my wife later decided on the flourless chocolate cake for their desert.
We were all delighted with the entire dinner. In addition both our waiter and the young girl bussing were very helpful and friendly.
Even though my wife has a seafood allergy, we definitely will be back soon as they obviously have items on their menu for persons like my wife.
The whole evening was a huge success thanks to the Salmon House on the Hill.

Dining on a normal weekday gives you a more personal service with time to enjoy the view. During the dine out period, they can get busy, but food quality is still on par (and above, if anything). I have also attended a wedding reception here. Although the layout can be a bit tough, they offer two level seating, so more people can see the love seat head table. Their service that day was also spectacular. They offer Open Table reservations, which is a perk as well. Only down side is that the drive up and parking lot can get quite dark, so drive in with a friend or know your route well. read less - 8/09/2019

We had three really good starters : The best fried calamary I've tasted, oysters and salmon ceviche. For our mains we had the risotto, fresh fish and new York strip. This was also very tasty!! Only thing I would ask for was a bit more sauce on the steak. The dessert consisted of a beautiful crème brulle, a very interesting sweet ravioli and sorbets! These all had amazing flavors!!Really recommend this place 👍 read less - 8/09/2019

Location is 'off the beaten path,' with an unassuming exterior. However once inside the restaurant has a warm Westcoast atmosphere with First-nation artwork. Most seats will have a decent view in their terraced dining room. This higher end restaurant offers a good selection of menu items (kid's menu available), with well staffed service. For greater savings they offer Entertainment Coupon discounts. A large room with good views is available for private functions. From the dining areas there is access to a balcony to further enjoy the views and is great for photos. Onsite surface parking.#letsguide read less - 8/09/2019

First off the Salmon House is aesthetically beautiful with an amazing view. Getting a window seat here is something truly to behold. The menu is absolutely top notch but is predominantly seafood based (in case you didn't get that from the name). There are quality non-seafood options as well. However they are limited. Everything from the appetizers, mains, & desserts are all top level. The wine list is very deep and high end. The service was fantastic and on point. Now...the Salmon house is NOT for those whose wallet is faint of heart. This is fine dining to it's core so expect an average price of about $80 to $100 per head by the end of the night. The Salmon House is definitely one of Vancouver's elite fine dining experiences. read less - 8/09/2019

If you want to experience real West Coast culinary this is the place to be. The selection of the menu is carefully handpicked and well put together, kudos for the chef. You can start with some local wines and the appetizer are just as good as the main course. The service is excellent, prompt and polite. The restaurant is very quiet, perfect for date. Price is not cheap but for that you get a superb service in a very elegant and classic environment. The view from the tables is spectacular, basically you can see the whole Lower Mainland right from your table. There is plenty parking spots are available so you do not have to worry about that. The restaurant very close to the highway providing easy access for every direction. Reservation is easy since you can do it online but you can call them directly. Highly recommended restaurant if you want to impress someone or if you want to represent traditional West Coast food. Can't wait to my next visit. read less - 8/09/2019

The risotto needed salt or to be cooked in broth, or to have the shellfish mixed in. Awesome fun and creative desserts!

They have old school charm and values that they take very seriously and show this through their extraordinary customer service. Every employee wears very professional black and white ensembles and wait on you like your the queen of the house on the hill. From coat check, to friendly and lightning speed service.

Their food also includes quite classic flavours and may not be super exciting for foodies but its flavours that are familiar and a great place to go as a big family. The portions are decent sized and presented beautifully.

Now on to my favorited... could you go to a place with the word salmon in it and not indulge??? I don't think so...we'll not for me at least. The salmon butter that comes with the bread adds a nice smoky creamy note. Trios are my faves as I get to try foods prepared different ways and guess what it is? You guessed right...salmon! Candied, gravlax and smoked...mmmmmm; candied is just melt in your mouth amazing! Now on to the entrees I love variety so I go with another type of trio except this one has three different types of salmon instead of being prepared differently; coho, sockeye and chinook with sockeye being my favourite.

Now if you're looking for something other than salmon I'd go with the creamy seafood risotto or lobster gnocchi. I'm sure that the meats are great but as a rule of thumb I always tend to go for what the restaurants specialize in. Enjoy the views, family time and great food with phenomenal service. read less - 7/16/2019

One of the girls had the salmon trio which was a good mix of flavor. Another had the sablefish which was very very good. I had the lobster gnocchi which I really had to finish coz it was so good.

At the entrance stands their wine showcase that splits the space into their window-wrapped dining room and lounge area. The lounge has live entertainment on some days and can be booked for special occasions. The seating layout is designed to give everyone a a view out of the windows. There isn't really a bad seat in the house.

Sometimes restaurants that are known for their view, sacrifice on the quality of food and service. At Salmon House the experience is a 100% from start to finish. Everyone is warm and welcoming. From the hostess, to the servers, to the busser, you receive nothing but top quality, professional attention and care.

The seafood cannot go without being mentioned either. The food tastes great! read less - 10/21/2018

Our bus person arrived quickly and provided glasses of water with ice. Our waiter arrived a bit later.

I started with a Caesar salad which contained fried capers, grana padano cheese, a nice dressing and very crispy bread rounds. Companion had spring rolls which were nicely cooked to a golden brown, but the dipping sauce seemed a bit odd . It contained a lot of chopped chilies and had an odd flavor instead of the usual sweet chili that is usually served.

For the main course, I had smoked sable fish. It was served with roasted Jerusalem artichokes, baby squash, baby carrots, all of which were perfectly cooked. In particular the Jerusalem artichokes were beautifully roasted. The dish had nice flavor and a good sauce. Companion ordered a Salmon trio consisting of Chinook, Sockeye, and Coho. It was served with baby carrots, baby squash, slices of pepper, and small cut potatoes. Of interest is that each type of salmon was seasoned with a different seasoning and was served over a maple glaze.

My dessert was problematic. It was described as being a green tea Panna Cota with Chantilly Cream, Matcha green tea, and fresh berries. Most of the dish was not as described on the menu. The "Panna Cota" was nothing like any Panna Cota I have ever had. It had an odd texture, and had a lack of Matcha flavor. The Chantilly Cream was nicely created, but the berries, while pretty, were so thinly sliced as to contribute no flavor to the creation, though visually, they were very nice. The cut up blackberries were disturbingly ugly and took away from the harmony of the dish. Topping the dish was a bent tuille, which had nice flavor, but did not have the crispness that a tuille should have. Companion had a Maple Walnut Tart with Caramel and Walnut gelato, topped with spun sugar, walnuts and a sliced strawberry. Companion enjoyed the dessert.

Cudo's to our bus person for excellent service. Cudo's also to the chef who cooked the fish to perfection.

Dings for the salad being cut into too large pieces to be easily eaten.
Dings for the waiter who took almost 15 minutes for our check.
Dings for no toilet paper in the ladies room.

4 stars for excellent fish, and great table busser. read less - 8/11/2018

The service is also very good. Really, the only problem is the price. That's the reason I can't give it five stars. If someone else pays, I'd give it a five!

Great view, we had a window table which was special for our friend's 70th birthday. Easy parking. The seafood chowder was very tasty but broth was a little thin. Wonderful caesar and greens salad. Crab Napolean tasty. Everything well presented. The mussels were a disappointment. I prefer my muscles in a wine and garlic sauce but they were served in a sauce that tasted like barbeque sauce. Altho the presentation was lovely, some of the mussels at the top were cool as they are totally out of the sauce. When I commented on the sauce we were informed by the waitress we could have ordered a wine and garlic sauce, but you have to ask for it. How do clients know this? For a high end restaurant, especially given the prices, the service from our waitress was disappointing. First she spilled water on the table and only wiped up a small amt of it. The bus girl cleaned it up when asked. Second, when we asked about the mussel sauce her response was we could have asked for the wine sauce. Why coyldnt she ask which we preferred... her response was she is not allowed to tell customers there is a different sauce!! As it was a special birthday I thought they would at least have some little dessert with a candle.... When this didnt happen we asked for the bill.Your saviour. Ami was asked to speak to us about the sauce. She was kind, friendly and very professional. She listened, apologized and said she would speak to the chef about adding the choice to the menu.Then she gave my friends a top up on their wine. And she brought a small dessert with a candle for my friend. By this time our waitress was totally ignoring us... Ami came and settled the bill with us.

We lucked out with the view since the rain stopped and we were there for Dine Out Vancouver which is nice also. Their 3 course menu is varied and we had the crab cake with tempura prawns and a little salad as appetizer, beef medallions with halved fingerling potatoes and julienned veg with a delicious reduction, and then the fabulous chocolate cheesecake. It was a superbly prepared, presented and tasting meal! read less - 8/09/2018

We had a fantastic experience with quick service and a great west coast flavor. We had a lot of seafood that plated so perfectly and tasted even better. The salmon was moist and flavorful. Tip...try to get a window table to enjoy the amazing view. read less - 8/09/2018

It can be missed as the sign is not lit up at the entrance. The view is gorgeous and if you like lots of people around then it's a must go to at least once. Portions are small so be prepared for that. read less - 8/09/2018
