taking yourself to dinner is scary and I felt weird but then I had the most delicious sangria and the best part is that the sun was setting and I was right by the water and it was a little windy but not too much and then right as they served my food the song Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield started and i cant even put words to how incredible I felt. The staff is also so pleasant I can't wait to come back. read more

I visited the area on vacation and I chose the Blue Canoe because I wanted fresh seafood. It was the best choice!! The food was not just delicious but beautiful. I hated to dig in. The staff was so friendly and service was great. I had a great table overlooking the warf. I definitely recommend. read more

Two separate visits to the Blue Canoe were the bookends of our four day holiday weekend trip to Steveston: it was the first and place we stopped, upon arrival, and right before departing to head home. Both times, we managed to grab a table (the same one, actually) during happy hour, ordered a cocktail each, took in the gorgeous views of the harbor, and basked in the unseasonably warm and sunny weather. It was a wonderful introduction, and denouement, to this quaint little storyb(r)ook town. Although we never ordered any food or snacks during either visit, we gazed upon several plates on their way to nearby tables with envious glances. Our servers, both times, were friendly and competent, although they both went missing for longer-than-usual periods of time, but not problematically so. Between the Maple Old Fashioned, two Back Porch Lemonades, and the Gin Martini that we ended up with spread across both visits, each drink was skillfully crafted, delicious, and reasonably priced. Neither of us felt Blue after leaving this Canoe, except for the wistful melancholy that washed over us, knowing our vacation was over. But we'll be back, even if we have to paddle upstream to get here! read more

Got the seafood tower and was a 10/10! The other stuff (fish and chips, soup, fries) were ok but the tower definitely overshines the others and bumped up the rating read more

Needed some hang time with my guys and arranged for a Dine Out Vancouver dinner with three of my guy friends to celebrate one of their belated birthday. With a 3 course meal for $39.99, we were able to get a reservation fairly easily. I was the last to arrive and it took awhile before the server remembered to get me a glass of water. Since there were 4 entrees to choose from and 4 of us, we decided to share our 3 course meals family style. We ordered two of the pan seared scallops & prawns appies and two of the tuna tataki carpaccios. Apparently none of us felt like the roasted artichoke soup, haha. The pan seared scallops and prawns were a decent size and was tasty with 3 scallops and 2 prawns with each order. The tuna tataki carpaccio came with quite a few slices and a simple citrus salad. We got one of each entree - braised short rib, chef special seafood cioppino, miso glazed sablefish, and scallop & prawn linguine. The braised short rib was quite tender and we all thought the best entree of the night. The cioppino was okay and had a variety of seafood but the broth lacked a bit of rich flavour. The shrimp and scallop linguini was a good portion size and was a solid dish. The sablefish was quite small in size and was okay - risotto base lacked flavour as well as the fish. Could have used more miso flavour and risotto a sharper flavour cheese. We also got one of each dessert choice - salted caramel cheesecake, two of the buttermilk & goat cheese blancmange + mixed berries, and chocolate truffle cake. I'm not a fan of chocolate cake but had a bite of it and found it to be slightly dry and had zero truffle flavour. The blancmange was a nice portion but was missing a goat cheese flavour that I thought it would have. The salted caramel cheesecake was also nice and not completely smothered in caramel. Great value for 3 courses for $39.99 each. However, I left still a bit hungry and suggested going to bubble tea afterwards. Service was a bit slow - we had to ask for our bill twice and it took 15 minutes. It's a great location and with a decent price point so may be back, especially in the Summer. read more

Great spot, you can pull up right out front on a boat. My only complaint is that they took the Korean ribs off the appy menu! They were the best! Too bad. read more

Was visiting Vancouver for business and stopped here for dinner with my colleagues. The location is amazing on the wharf. We ate outside right before sunset. I ordered the blackened halibut with mango salsa. This was delicious as I enjoyed the saffron cream sauce under the noodles. Was paired with a glass of red wine...delicious. The server was knowledgeable of the menu and provided good recommendations. Highly recommend meeting friends, family, and colleagues here. read more

Blue Canoe Waterfront Restaurant - Canoe seafood platter - Seafood Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

My family and I all enjoyed our lunch here. We got Tuna tartare to share and it was delicious. Tuna was really fresh! My main dish surprised me with how good everything tasted. It was pan seared salmon. From the first glance the portion was quite small, but don't let that fool you, the salmon fillet was hefty and the potatoes, and roasted carrots were hidden underneath. The flavours just worked together so well. We also got a clam chowder that was a bit small, but filling. However the portion of fish and chips was huge. We all were full and satisfied in the end. Servers were friendly and not overly attentive. A small tip if in general you decide to go to any restaurants in Steveston area, be sure to first go and eat and then buy fish, shrimp at the Warf, because restaurants won't sit you if you are carrying a bag of seafood you just bought. (Might be common sense, but we didn't guess that, so had to carry fish back to the car) read more

It was a random decision to come here for lunch. Dine Out was happening so I had the menu. The weather was good so I was seated outside. The patio was still sheltered with plastic sheets so it was not overly cold. Plus there was heat lamp overhead. It was lunch with a view which was nice. Unfortunately it was also a bit noisy when other diners started speaking loudly. Think typical Chinese restaurants sound volume so I could basically hear the conversations going on. Not a great place for a quiet meal. Food wise. It was ok, not wow. Maybe it was my selection. The crab and lobster croquette was disappointing. Fried perfectly but the filling was more potato than crabmeat or lobster. It was pretty tiny too. Maybe the taste could be more pronounced if it was bigger. The seafood pappardelle was pretty tasty with plenty of seafood though I felt the sauce masked the natural sweetness and taste of the seafood. The chocolate truffle cake was very meh. I did not finish that. Took the leftover cake home but in the end I did not bother to eat it and it was chucked away. The service was excellent and they came around to top up the water and checked on you. I may go back again to try other stuff like the seafood chowder or cioppino. read more

One line review: Would give this 3.5 if that were an option. We spent the day in Steveston on a staycation and saw the menu for this place walking along fisherman's wharf. We decided to stay a little longer for dinner. It was a pleasant experience. We asked for a seat on their 'patio' (mostly enclosed, but with open windows); we had to wait about 25 minutes, but the walk along the wharf was beautiful, and the time passed quickly. We were seated in the patio on the side opposite the windows, but asked to move when a space opened up, providing maximum ventilation (COVID safety, you know). They were accommodating. We had just missed happy hour, but that was not a problem for us, as we were there specifically for the clambake. We ordered: - the Louisiana clambake (The mussels were excellent -- noticeably a cut above; everything else was good, though the scallops were smallish.) - a green salad (amazingly, not on the menu) - a fresh lemonade. The meal also came with fries and bread (part of the clambake?). Our total for the evening was $125. Value was so-so; this is fresh seafood, so we didn't expect it to be cheap, but the portions, while adequate, were not extraordinarily generous. If we return, we may go with their standard entrees, which looked good and might be a better value. Service was pleasant when we had their attention, but we didn't get checked on much. I find that this is often the case when we aren't ordering alcohol. Parking was free in the public lot. Bottom line: Good enough for a return engagement at some point. read more

After a day of whale watching we opted to enjoy late lunch at Blue Canoe for the location and view. The food and service were surprisingly positive experiences. We split the crab dip and calamari, and it was the freshest and best calamari we've had. We enjoyed the salmon entree which was served with a potato and Brie cake and broccolini. My daughter had the salmon burger which was served with a generous serving of French fries. The hubby had the shrimp flatbread which he enjoyed. We enjoyed beer and a house red blend that paired nicely with our food. The service was friendly and attentive. The scenery was beautiful. read more

When in Steveston, Fish and Chips is something to try while you are enjoying the ocean breeze. Blue Canoe has one of the best patio restaurants in Steveston, so we chose to eat there, gladly we were able to get a table at the patio. We had; Tacos ($18.95) Oyster ($15.50) Calamari ($8.75) 2 pc Fish ($21.90) Linguine All dishes were delicious, the fish and chips were huge, and the fish on the taco was crispy yet not oily. The linguine was my favourite. It was so creamy and loaded with seafood on it; the oysters were attractive, we tasted two flavours which were both refreshing. For the calamari, nothing much special it's the same as others. Overall, the restaurants location is beautiful, foods were good, price is a little bit pricy but not that bad, the staff sometimes takes long to check on us, we waited for about 20 minutes for someone to ask for our orders. Even so, I still recommend this restaurant for the lovely view and good food. read more

I had looked over the menu online and decided to stop by here to try their lobster bisque. Unfortunately, their online menu is not up-to-date so I ordered the west coast seafood chowder instead. We shared a half a dozen fresh oysters, shrimp tacos and two piece fish and chips. Our child ordered chicken tenders off the kids menus Food arrived fairly quickly. The chowder had one shrimp, one clam and one mussel mixed in with some smaller clams out of a can variety. The portion size was small for the price. I expected more seafood, but the chowder was alright. I think I make a better version at home. The oysters were fresh. No complaints there and they did not taste too fishy. The shrimp tacos had a bit of a spicy kick and was quite tasty. I found the fish and chips to be a bit greasy. The menu did not state what type of fish it was. I would guess haddock or cod. I am not good at telling the differences between fish. We did not ask our server beforehand what fish was served. The batter did stick to the fish, but I would see the oil seeping out of the batter as I cut into the fish. Service was good. View was nice. I would stop by for the view. Food was the standard West Coast fare. read more

We came on a weekend afternoon to check out their dineout ($45) menu. Service was a bit slow when we walked in as we waited to be seated. We opted for the outdoor seating which was a great choice because it was covered and heated! It overlooked the water and pier (which was quite mucky). We ordered the coconut mussels to share and the dineout menu (pan seared scallops, shrimp pasta, seafood bouillabaisse, chocolate cake, and panne cotta). Aside from the initial wait upon arrival, our server was attentive and friendly. She checked up on us and our water was topped up. Food is decent, but nothing spectacular. I liked that the coconut mussels had a slight hint of coconut. The flavour wasn't overpowering nor was the sauce too sweet, which can happen to some coconut-based dishes. The pan seared scallops were good. They were cooked properly and the salad on top was refreshing with a hint of acid. I love arugula and the addition of that added a note of pleasant bitter contrast. The shrimp pasta was quite cheesy but a little dry. I personally prefer saucier pastas. The seafood bouillabaisse lacked the strong saffron depth one would expect. I tasted a lot of orange/citrus flavour and would prefer a richer "bodier" broth. The chocolate cake was fairly sweet; perfect for those with a sweet tooth! The panna cotta was surprisingly delicious. I'm not a fan of panna cottas, but this one topped with the mixed berries was the perfect mix of tart and sweetness. The texture was a bit soft though. Overall, this is a nice local restaurant to visit for a beer or a lunch after a stroll in Steveston. Our bill was about $140 for 2 people, which isn't bad, but I personally think there are better options around for that price. read more

We made reservations for 4 (couple and 2 kids) for a Friday night, first day of Dine Out Vancouver 2021! We arrived and was seated in at the patio. It was a bit cold but there was heater above our head but out table was the end of the patio we were 1/2 covered by the heater. This area the lighting is darker than I would like as I like to see my food while I eat. Good thing I have a iPhone 12pro that can take great pictures in the dark :) My husband and I ordered from the Dine Out Vancouver menu and the kids ordered from the menu. To see the menu, scan QR on your smartphone. My DOV order: - starter: rock crab & lobster corquette - It was good taste but a bit soft inside that I would like. Crispy on the outside. - entree: sockeye salmon filo en croute spinach & her roasted fingerling potatoes. This is a hearty dish. The filo was perfect and the salmon was cook perfectly. - dessert: truffle chocolate cake - this was the highlight of the meal. I was only able to have a couple forkful but it was worth it! Hubby's DOV order: - starter: canoe signature seafood chowder sockeye salmon, cod, mussels, clams and shrimp. This was a hearty and flavourful soup. I should have chose the soup. - entree: roasted sablefish with lobster & prawn risotto. Hubby liked this but it comment it was a smaller sized dish for me. Good thing the kids couldn't finish their dishes so he finished them :) - dessert: salted caramel cheesecake w/ vanilla gelato honey crisp compote. I took a couple bites of this and I couldn't taste the cheesecake as it was covered with the salted caramel and compote. It was a bit overly sweet. My vote goes to the truffle chocolate cake. The kids had spicy fried shrimp taco and pesto prawn linguini. They both enjoyed their meal. The service was really good as the staff was quite attentive to us by checking in on us every so often and re-filling our drinks timely. All in all, it was good meal 4/5. Perhaps next time we can be seated in the restaurant as we had to keep our coats while eating on patio on a cold February evening. read more

Paddling the canoe once again... Decided to check out the boats at the Fishermen's Wharf in Steveston Village since the City of Richmond are promoting the spot prawn season. Did a little walk around Steveston village to work up a little appetite; it's buzzing with people buying the spot prawns (sadly and needless to say, the prices off the boats are the same as T&T supermarket or a couple of dollars per pounds more expensive then Foody World, what a useless PR and promo). Finally decided on giving the Blue Canoe another try because the last time it wasn't so great due to a little issue with the seafood tower. Anyways, here were the food I ordered this time around; 1. Seafood chowder. The taste was decent but 2 little shrimps, 1 piece of clam and 1 piece of mussel is hardly considered a seafood chowder?!?! I swear the menu said CLAMS and MUSSELS, not CLAM and MUSSEL. The seafood swam away with anything good in this one, failed! 2. Lobster Bisque (daily soup). I honestly wish restaurants would stop doing this hack for lobster bisques. All the chefs and restaurants out there, STOP using shrimps on them lobster bisques!!! Why even call it lobster bisque if you are going to do that? Call it shrimp bisque or imitation bisque or whatever. Don't put a chicken nugget between the burger buns and call it a chicken burger. BTW, lobster and shrimps look and taste different especially their texture. Failed! 3. Canoe coconut mussels. Most of the mussels were of decent size and plump, the coconut sauce fused in well. This dish was okay 4. Baked canoe crab dip. Very nicely baked; nice and creamy with a nice taste of crab. 5. Louisiana clambake (for 2 share). Every thing as described on the menu; fresh and tasty but some may find it a little on the pricey side. This restaurant has been around for awhile now, inside the decors and atmosphere are quite casual. I have been here a few times over the years so decided to give it another go because I wasn't feeling for fish and chips. This time around, the service was okay but quite slow with the food, it took a little over 30mins before the first dish arrived. The soups pretty much failed in my opinion. The rest of the dishes were okay, nothing to really change into cheerleading skirts and jump up and down with pom-poms. Overall, just another restaurant situated in the tourist trap area; operates and presented itself as that in my opinion. Honestly, any restaurants located in a tourist area should really pickup their game cause you represent. Anyways, enough paddling the canoe and feeding the birds, maybe it's time to ride the waves on a ship. read more

Kind of Meh. We sat on the side patio which has a nice view. We ordered the Crab Dip Appetizer. It looked good but really wasn't. The crab tasted stale and the entire mixture really wasn't seasoned at all. I salted it quite a bit to get it down. For entrees my husband had the burger sliders. He did like his. I got the blackened halibut. They seared it on all sides, which ended up drying it out. The roasted potatoes tasted old. Plus the portion of Halibut for $45 was REALLY small. So overall. Not really bad but for the price it wasn't anything to write home about. The waitress didn't really take much care of us. After the Appetizer she asked if we were all done. We hadn't even ordered our entrees. They had blankets out there, but I do feel she should've asked if we wanted the overhead heaters on. They came on at sunset (maybe automatic?) read more

Had lunch here and had a great experience! They were very accommodating to my allergies and offered lettuce wraps instead of a tortilla for my allergies for the tostada. We loved the white wine and cream sauce for the mussels, and the mussels weren't overcooked which we were delighted about. The star of the show was the sablefish and risotto. It was SO GOOD. I didn't know what to expect, especially cause I know sablefish can lack a lot of flavour. But the risotto balanced out the whole dish and the sablefish was super soft and juicy. Bill was quite high (~100$) but I would definitely go back read more

Terrible food. Worst fish and chips i've ever had. Overcooked blackened grease balls and liquid flavourless tartar sauce, fries double dipped because they got cold were hard as a rock and Greasy. My partner had tuna tartare, and it was old and fishy. I was sick all night and stomach ache for three days. Gave it a second chance a month later and tried the lobster tail pasta. Bland with no flavour, small amount of pasta with barely any sauce, 4 small shrimp, Tiny lobster tail $40+ And Sick all night again. Don't risk it, Bad cooks and bad kitchen safety will make you sick. Lots of other great restaurants nearby. read more

Visiting from Las Vegas, we got fairly hungry while walking around Garrett Point Park. Drove to the Fisherman's Wharf and craved for some fish and chips. Loved the ambience and we were seated by the semi-outdoor patio. Evan was great with his recommendations, but we stuck to our cravings. Their fish and chips were about a foot long each. Not what I accepted as I was used to store-bought, usually frozen ones even in restaurants. Fish was fresh, battered just crispy enough but not greasy. Served with a side of fries and slaw. It was a lot considering we offered 4 of those. A plate could've served teo easily. Oysters were a bit pricey, considering its size. Calamari was fresh but also overpriced. Service was great. Evan was very attentive! read more

Always adored this place when my dad brought me here as a kid. The atmosphere is wonderful, and feels like you're enjoying a meal in your living room at home. They even provide you with blankets when you sit on the patio! The seafood is really great. I remember ordering the oysters, which came with a variety of dipping sauces. We also tried the mini-burgers, which were really lovely. It was revealed early this year that they may not have received official authorization to convert the public boardwalk into their private patio, so it's not known how long it may remain for as the City of Richmond attempts to reclaim the real estate. Better enjoy it while you can! read more

I went to this restaurant for the first time with the wife for our wedding anniversary. First of all, it was in the middle of Sept. 2020. So ... still covid-19 times. and for a few days, there's also thick smog everywhere around greater Vancouver because of the fire down in California. So obviously, these external factors didn't do this "waterfront restaurant" any favors. Despite that, The overall experience was nice. I made the reservation over the phone since the website reservation system didn't work. It was on a Wednesday evening, so it wasn't busy. I've asked if we can get the patio seats, cause that's where the supposed "view" was going to be. The lady told me they can't guarantee a patio seat and it was available on a first-come base. Which was fine.. ~ When we arrived at 6:30, they did manage to get us a patio seat. I think i was the last one available. As expected there's only a little bit of a view cause of the smog (I can see only as far as the dock). But it was nice to at least be next to the window and get a bit of light. We ordered the canoe size (one tier) chilled seafood platter. and a "sunset" cocktail drink. The platter was suitable for two average-appetite eaters. it came with a good variety of seafood a few good dipping sauces- bread and fries. (see images) The seafood was generally fresh-tasting, and my favorite was the mussels and the larger shrimps. Nothing was particularly outstanding or bad. The staff there was fairly attentive and food came quickly after we ordered. Our table was at the corner of the restaurant, so staff didn't come by that much but they did notice us when we waved at them to get their attention. The bill ended up being around $120 after tips and tax. And I'd say it was worth it. Just as what you would expect from a restaurant like this by the pier. I would recommend this restaurant for special occasions, particularly when its a nice sunny day so you can actually take advantage of the 'waterfront view'. read more

If you want beautiful harbour view with a good meal go to Blue Canoe. Was here for lunch overlooking the fishing dock and boats and sitting at a high top table. Great for entertaining. I have a chicken sandwich with salad for $19.95. It was a lot of food and presentation was nice. My friend had fish and chips and said it was good too. I ordered cheesecake for dessert. I love dessert and thought it looked rather small but it was delicious and rich and happy about the size. Will definitely go back. Have been several times but never posted. It is really for people who love seafood. read more

Our experience at Blue Canoe for Dineout2020 was good. The food was okay. I ordered the prawn and scallop risotto for my appetizer which they have on their regular menu. The description to this appetizer sounds amazing but execution was lacking; the seafood was overdone while the risotto was underdone. For my entree, I ordered the Arctic char and I was afraid when I saw that it was paired with risotto. But thankfully, it was executed better (not crunchy) but it was average. The Arctic char however was delicious, too bad the portion was bit on the small side. I also found it odd that the risotto portion for the entree was less than the portion for the appetizer. For dessert, I ordered their chocolate cake with chantilly cream and it was very good, not too sweet and the right amount of chocolatey flavor. We did notice that the portioning was inconsistent for the orders at our table. The saving grace to this meal experience was our server, Cindy. She was friendly, helpful and over all pleasant, making up for the average food. read more

Came with friends, 6 of us and we sat outside. Very nice view, but it does get a bit cold so if you are planning to eat here to enjoy the view, make sure to bring a sweater. We ordered the cold platter, server said for about 2 people to share. It's quite big, we all got to try son of everything. tasted very fresh, loved the oyster and scallop. calamari was so-so,I found it a little soggy, could have fried them a little longer. The beef taco - average, fish and chips (good fish!) 1lb wings mango chutney flavour, pretty good Overall it was very nice view and comfortable dining in the patio next to water. Nice server that helped us. We enjoyed our time there! read more

Blue Canoe Waterfront Restaurant - Seafood Platter - Seafood Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Barely adequate food if it were a bus stop restaurant, made worse by severely confused and very slow service. The view is indeed quite nice -- without it you would almost certainly never return. We have lived in Steveston for the past 15 years and used to like the food here very much -- several dishes early on were among the best around. We still visit occasionally (1-2 times a year) but are more disappointed every time. Tonight we just cancelled our order partway through and left. That's it for us! read more

It's hard to fault the location, right on the Steveston waterfront the views are spectacular. You a literally sitting among the fish boats. The staff are eager, friendly and very handsome. The food leaves something to be desired. The hot crab dip wasn't and it was awfully hard to find any crab in it. Worse, it was bland. Ceviche was also lacking, needed more lime and jalapeno or....? The shrimp tacos were well presented and colourful but also bland. Everything was served lukewarm. This used to be our go-to seafood place in the lower mainland but maybe no longer. read more

The menu posted outside looked a bit pricey bit not too bad for a tourist center. However the food was way below our expectations. The seafood chowder (mussels, clams and shrjmp) for $14.50 was basically a potato soup with ONE mussel, ONE clam and 2 shrimp and was horribly bland. It came in a bowl that was about 8 inches across at the rim but the bowl itself was smaller than my fist. It was almost comical at how chintzy it was! Never again! read more
