History

The Cannery Seafood Restaurant opened its doors on August 15 th, 1971. With vision and determination, a small bay in Vancouver’s bustling harbour was transformed into a legendary dining destination. It all began when 46 pilings were driven into the ocean floor to create the foundation of the restaurant you see today.

The Cannery is a simple, traditional building exemplifying the small fish canneries that dotted the west coast inlets of BC. The Cannery Queen gill-netter located at the entrance to the parking lot extends a nautical welcome to guests. The restaurant’s decor has evolved ad hoc, with each new piece finding its place among the others. The decorations include a ship’s boiler, inverted and turned into a circular fireplace beside the downstairs bar. A whale rib sits over a table while crab traps, brailing nets, gill nets, photographs and memorabilia adorn the walls. Old hatch covers from a fishing boat create bar tables and the coil from the fireplace boiler hangs as a chandelier between the Chowder Bar and the main dining room. The bar and wood paneling covering the Cannery walls was rescued from a 100 year old barn on the Fraser River near Ladner.

The Cannery is a place of integrity. Above all, it is a place of comfort, good food and good wine.
