Went here for dinner and it was so good!! Had the Brussel sprouts to start and then the beer can chicken. The sprouts were roasted and charged to perfection and the chicken was juicy and pan seared on one side to give you some amazing crispy skin!! This place is a must visit when in Powell River. Great food, great wine and great service!!! read more

See all

Love the food, drink options, friendly staff and west coast feel of this restaurant. Always a popular spot. I realized last visit that any other similar type restaurant I have been to has music so loud you can't think and I appreciate that this is not the case. Great spot to stop for a night out! read more

Well as luck would have it, my little Atom Rep hockey player had to return to Powell River for league semifinals and final championship game. The initial response of all of our parents when told we had to go to Powell River for a second time in less than 3 months, was one of dismay, anger, frustration, terror and revulsion. However, in very short order, our thoughts turned to Coastal Cookery! Lustful memories of delicious and sensual gastronomical delights, great service and beautiful servers filled our hearts and induced an overwhelming Pavlovian response -- excessive salivating, facial flushing and increased heart rate! We would return to again experience the nirvana known as Coastal Cookery! As anticipated, it did not disappoint. While I briefly considered the fried chicken and waffle sandwich, my visceral memories of the multiple Foodgasms experienced on my last visit from the salmon burger, compelled me to order it once again. Would a return to the well such a short time later provide the same fulfillment and satisfaction as the first visit? Thankfully yes! If anything, dare I say, this salmon burger and fresh cut fries experience may have been even better than the first! The intensity of the Foodgasms was unmatched. The most exquisite and perfect salmon burger I've ever experienced! Absolutely delicious! Cooked to perfection -- not over cooked, moist in the middle and perfectly generously sized! This salmon filet has some junk in the trunk! With a beautifully matched coleslaw topping and brioche bun! Pure ecstasy! The fries were also amazing. Freshly cut and cooked to a crisp tender in the middle, yet not greasy, state of perfection. Service was once again exemplary. Our waitress was friendly, efficient, professional, personable and very attractive. Our meals were served within 15 minutes of placing our orders, despite the restaurant being very busy. Had a couple of townside blond ales with the meal, which were also very good. In addition, we had the privilege of experiencing a beautiful sunset from the dining room. Well done Coastal Cookery! The citizenry of Powell River should consider themselves very lucky to have such a fine establishment to dine, imbibe and enjoy such beautiful scenery at. read more

Fantastic drinks, fantastic food, fantastic staff! Our server was awesome and the hostess was super friendly and inviting. Highly recommend.

We have been here a lot and the food and service is consistently good. It's cactus club inspired. We really like the servers and the owners and they have 2 other restaurants Costa Del Sol for authentic Mexican and Cullacinos for higher end Italian (limited seating in both) read more

My favorite place in Powell River! Love the food! Great beverages. The view is incredible too. Super close to the ferry so if you're waiting get a craft beer or cider with a great meal. Oh , and the staff are awesome, just to top it all off!!! read more

One of the best restaurants in Powell river. The beer chicken tasted great and the barbecue sauce complimented well with its right amount of sweetness. The macaroni and cheese was also made well, although the cod tasted a bit bland. read more

Went there for lunch and had the Duck/chicken clubhouse with some type of raspberry sauce....it was soooooo goooood! My gal had the Thai curry rice bowl, which was very good but that duck sandwich was the bomb!! Service was excellent and very good value. read more

Great view of the water and islands. I had the ling cod with rice and asparagus . Excellent fish with nice flaky texture. Friendly atmosphere and great service in a really isolated area. read more

One of the noticeably new and trendy eateries in downtown Powell River. We were intrigued when we walked by and saw the room was full. Very modern and west coast. We were told a 29 min wait but found ourselves seated at a fabulous table on the over facing patio within 10 min. Fantastic view, too bad about the power lines. Service was fast and friendly but slightly awkward - the place has only been open 3 weeks... Newly opened jitters??? Ordered drinks off the drinks menu... Pricey but tasty and very strong... I had to get more mix in mine, but I am a light weight. Food came quickly, tasted great, good value... I had Mike's Burger, Yosuke had the Salmon Burger. Had the kalamari as an appy. All were wonderful and decent size portions... But it is obvious that Mike in the kitchen likes salt! Should be easy to push the $9 drunks cause the salt in the food will make ya thirsty! Great place. We will be back! read more

A great find in Powell River. Beautiful views and delicious food. The Mac and cheese, brussel sprouts and lettuce wraps were all highlights. Local craft beer and good cocktails. Definitely worth a stop. read more

I've been a regular here since it opened, and I've never been disappointed. Honestly, I was trying to think of a menu item to recommend, but I couldn't pick something specific; everything thus far has been excellent. In addition, the staff are all very friendly and vibrant, and truly make this restaurant an exciting place to be. read more

Coastal Cookery - Coastal Cookery bar - American Near Me - Powell River, British Columbia

We had a really great experience here on our last trip. The waitress was friendly and accommodating! The food was well presented and absolutely delicious! The view couldn't be better either! We got the Quinoa Sliders, Thai Curry Bowl, Coconut Curry Lentil Soup and Asian Tuna Greens. The environment is west coast contemporary - fresh, but still keeping in character with Powell River history. A must stop if you're in the area. They've just opened, but they've got food ad service down to a science! Highly recommended to all and hope to be back soon! read more

This restaurant is a breath of fresh air. Good vibe. Clean. Modern. Good food, in moderate portions, priced fairly. Decent wine selection and some interesting cocktail offerings. I liked the sever's 'uniforms' of denim leggings, black tops and Tom's flat shoes. They looked professional yet casual. As a female I appreciate not having to stare at cleavage or bums during my meal. I would be happy to visit again. read more

Quick stop for lunch. Had the mac and cheese without pancetta and it was awesome. Service was timely and extremely friendly. Would surely come again. read more

Delious definitely a place to stop for a late lunch or dinner great drinks and food it's a journey to amazing places. It's a must stop!

I had the greatest time here tonight. Clare was our server (that was the name on the cheque) and she was very attentive and gave us great service! The food was delicious and the portions are very filling. Definitely recommend to anyone thinking of stopping by! read more

Stopped in during happy hour. Our server, Chad, was excellent, food was great and the chocolate waffle for dessert was awesome! We sat on the patio which has a great view out over the water. read more

Awesome meal!! Great view and great food! Great service! Can't wait to come back. Our six-some had short ribs, bbq pork ribs, ling cod and and several of the bowls. All were fabulous!!!! read more

Went w/ my parents while on vacation. Pros: View, service, food. Cons: none! read more

The coconut curry lentil soup was spectacular but the quinoa sliders were dry. I will admit that it is challenging to find a restaurant that does up a decent veggie burger. Coastal Cookery didn't deliver on that front but the service was excellent and the covered patio was perfect on a hot day. I look forward to returning for the soup and will try a different entree. read more

I ordered a salmon burger which was good, but slightly rubbery. The fries on the side were extremely salty, so much so that the table was covered in it afterwards. The turmeric spritz was great though, very refreshing. The s'more smash had lots of marshmallow, a bit too much for myself but has great touch of cinnamon and is perfect to share. The light fixtures were cool, the music was great, and our waitress was very nice. Overall, the experience was mediocre, I wouldn't recommend it though. read more

All I can say is I should have started with the desert. The Bourbon Pecan Galette could possibly have been the absolute best thing I have ever eaten in my entire life. So light, flaky, and melts in your mouth delicious, nothing could surpass this delicacy served with vanilla ice cream, and a spectacular bourbon caramel sauce. For my main dish I have the Montreal smoked meat sandwich and poutine, this was also delicious. The service was fantastic, the atmosphere lively, I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

This restaurant is just what Powell River needs! It's only been open a little over a month and I've been there twice for lunch and once for dinner and each time I was very pleased with the food and the service and the price. The owners have obviously gone to a lot of trouble to make sure everything is top notch. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, which is a real pleasure and not that common here. I'd say the menu has been carefully thought out and the food I've tried has been delicious. The prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality and the type of restaurant. The decor is very attractive and it's wonderful to be able to sit outside on the deck and look at the ocean. I hope they do very well and keep up the high standards they've set for themselves. read more

Excellent food, service and environment! New ideas and delicious flavors. The Brussels sprouts were absolutely amazing! Great creative drink special and a wonderful experience. Definitely a higher level dining experience. read more

This is an attempt at a trendy restaurant, much like those in Vancouver. The decor is coastal inspired as the name suggests, but the food is more like an upscale pub in many respects. I've tried a number of items on the menu and it's been hit or miss. Portion sizes are fine, except the mac and cheese, really tasty, but skimpy on the portion size. The cost for it was too much for so little. $$$ really should be given for all the prices. The burgers, sandwiches and casual fare items are good, as is the new flat bread. Appetizers questionable. Some are over priced for what they are and others just aren't that good. The chicken bites are crunchy and sometimes rather dry, then drowned in BBQ sauce. I've tried them with the sauce on the side and they were much better. The pork wontons are okay. The calamari is cooked well, but the coating is rather on the heavy side and the jalapeños they serve as part of the dish are overpowering. As I said hit or miss. The service is really good, no complaints there. Every server is pleasant, smiling and willing to help. They almost have it right, just some tweaks and things would be worth more than three stars and three I think is more than fair. read more

Had the Korean inspired carpaccio. It was a nice balance between flavours with nothing overwhelming. Could taste the kimchi. Nice staff, clean bathrooms and a good view of the ocean. read more
