A great meal with my sister and nephew while visiting Vancouver. I emailed a reservation request before my trip. It was promptly replied to by Remi confirming my reservation. We were warmly greeted when we arrived and seated immediately. This is a small place and reservations are needed. At 7pm on a Friday night walk ins could not be seated. The atmosphere is cozy and casual with lots of first nations art to enjoy. Perhaps a bit dark. The menu emphasizes salmon and game in many preparations. We shared the salmon tasting appetizer with Bannock. Of course the Indian candy was great. But the jam brought out great flavors in the mousse as well. A great start. My sister ordered the salmon dinner and I ordered a venison steak which was on special. We opted for the risotto which was well prepared. Dinners were served with more Bannock so we had no room for dessert. Excellent and delicious in every way! I left my glasses on the table when we left and they called my cell phone before our taxi arrived back at our hotel. Much appreciated! Definitely worth trying next time you are in Vancouver! read more

Salmon n' Bannock - Great atmosphere! - Canadian (New) Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Wow! This restaurant knows its specialties, and does them well! Be forewarned it is on the pricey end ($35 for a main course) for casual dining. For starters, I would recommend the BARBECUE SALMON MOUSSE. Its flavour and texture are perfect. For the main course, I was 100% satisfied with the BISON RIBS. The meat comes off the bone without a knife, and the subtle sauce and marinade is not overpowering like the usual thick barbecue sauce. The sides of mashed potato and grilled vegetables were generous in portion and not too buttery. There's also always a fish of the day, which looks and sounds scrumptious (it was halibut tonight). And, of course, the BANNOCK was a nice way to start off the meal and fill you up. It's a dense, unleavened bread with a neutral flavour, and it is filling. read more

Salmon n' Bannock - Bison ribs - Canadian (New) Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Was super excited about eating at a restaurant like this. Ordered sea lion(I KNOW RIGHT?!) as one of my appetizers and a sampler for me and my friends that had basically the bannock bread, cheese, various dried meats, and a berry and sage jelly with butter on the side. Both items were delicious. Ordered elk burger for entree. Burger was a bit bland...but there was boar bacon on it which was absolutely amazing. Almost wish there was a boar burger lol. Giving it 4 stars for the amazing customer service and the experience. Main dish for food wasn't what I was expecting. Maybe the experience will be different for you. read more

I'm not a huge salmon fan because I'm not from the PNW, but the white sage smoked salmon blew me away! This is how salmon was meant to be prepared! I had no idea I could love it so much. It was a prixe fixe menu on my visit, but based on what they served us, I would trust anything coming out of that kitchen in the future. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. From the warm energy of the staff, to the traditional decor and recipes, and flavours that are to die for! Thank you S n' B for sharing your soul and spirit with all of us last weekend! read more

We had a great meal, especially the oven baked bannock. Excellent menu with a great First Nations recipes. Small, intimate surroundings with great service. We will be back. read more

Deer shank and bison burger I really wanted to try the wild board hot dog I'll have to come back, will go back. Why have I not known about this place sooner? Very friendly service, worth the trip back alone! Someone used the word unique and Canadian, and I would completely agree. I tried cedar infused jelly and I was blown away. read more

For Dine Out, they offered a $40 set menu and only have two seating times: 6:00-7:30pm or 8:00-9:30pm. It was a quaint little restaurant, seating was spacious and decorated with many First Nations artwork. Staff were attentive and kind, but it did take them a while to figure out I was standing awkwardly at the door before being seated. First, I started with their West Coast Wild Sockeye Bake with Smoked Sea Salt and Seaweed Emulsion. Plating was simple and I liked how it was placed on top of a grill where the sea salt could continue smoking the salmon after it arrived. Could definitely taste the smokey flavors and the salmon was cooked perfectly. It also came with cucumbers, nothing special; the seaweed emulsion was too salty and just there. MaCherie and KHomey ordered the Grilled Venison Striploin with Spinach and Caramelized Onion Salad, Blackberry Vinaigrette. Good veggies for the meal, they felt the venison was very gamey. It reminded me of pork liver. I liked the flavors but felt the meat itself was quite tough. We felt the salad would have been well complimented with some sort of cheese on it (ie. feta or blue cheese). On the side was, as their name suggested, Bannock with Whipped Butter. Bannock, for those who are unfamiliar, is a Native version of a scone (unleavened bread). It was chewy and moist inside, the outside was crispy. Normally I avoid bread-like items, but these were good enough for me to order extra for takeout! Onto entrees, our waitress highly recommended the Braised Free Range Bison Back Ribs with Scalloped Potatoes, so I got it. Glad I did! The bison was not gamey, tender, and fell off the bone. The sauce overwhelmed the flavors of the meat itself, so unfortuneately I could mainly just taste sauce. Scalloped potatoes were tasty, fluffy, and cheesy! MaCherie went for their Alder Smoked Bella Bella Halibut with Roasted Yam Mash and Organic Cranberry Reduction. I tried some and the halibut was cooked nicely, flakey and moist. I got a chunk with lots of bones and almost choked though xD It went well with the yam mash and cranberry reduction heightened the flavors. For dessert, a Layered Ojibway Wild Rice Pudding with Signature Berry Compote. It reminded me of creme brulee because of the crispy sugar coat on top. Flavors were interesting, it started as a creamy mixture that was more watery than your normal creme brulee along with the crispy texture of the sugar. Then came the tangy flavors of the berries, which I actually enjoyed. I was disappointed with the wild rice however, it felt out of place and didn't fit in with the creamy dessert. The rice was too hard and felt undercooked. Overall we enjoyed our first experience of First Nations cuisine. Stepping out of our regular comfort zone in terms of meat, it was memorable. The staff checked on us frequently, they made it feel homey and welcoming! read more

Just great and different. Bannock is like eating a large biscuit so its not for the anti-carb crowd. But the boar bacon and veggies in my sandwich was really good. The side salad was just lovely too. Will be back again soon. read more

Eating at Salmon n' Bannock was like being in a Seinfeld episode where the restaurant is run by a female George. We were nearby and we decided to walk in right at opening time to try the bannock here. We waited by the door for the woman, the female George for our purposes, to open. Her first question, without greeting, was "Do you have reservations?!" Fair enough, we did not, and a sensible person, as they sense her attitude, would say thanks and walk away. But I'm not sensible. "Do you have room for walk-ins?" says I. Idiot. She goes to check and highlighted how they're always busy and we need reservations as I stared into an empty restaurant. Miraculously, she found a table and highlighted ONCE AGAIN they're very busy and need the table at 7pm, two hours later. No problem, I eat like a hungry wolf so that leaves at least an hour and a half assuming the kitchen is on point. My fiancé was unhappy we're going in as she was uncomfortable with George. "Abort abort!" "...Too late, we're committed now!"  Our young server came up and she was great. She went over specials, was smiling and prompt in her service. We order. But then, another poor soul wandered in without a reservation. Still at 60%+ empty. The newcomer stood in the middle of the restaurant and George stood across from him in this strange standoff. He said nothing, she said nothing... time stopped. Finally, she caved, "can I help you?!" His English was not confident, he thought he would be offered a table. Not here pal! He carefully and slowly explained he wanted to eat at this restaurant. Here we go... "Do you have a reservation?! You need a reservation. [most tables are empty] Let's see if we can fit you in."  He got his table and then, somehow, she assumed he was Japanese and offered him a book in Japanese to read about her and the restaurant! I'm getting dinner and a show, fantastic. But then she goes full George Costanza on this young, possibly Japanese fellow, and loudly states "I'm big in Japan!" The restaurant patrons, the handful of us, go quiet. The reality we all live in and the one she's in are colliding. The possibly Japanese fellow laughs uncomfortably. She laughs loudly. We all shrink in our chairs. Appetizers arrive. The shrivelled boar meatballs could be any meat. The salad accompanying the meatballs has no purpose, or dressing, other than to remind me of my earlier idiocy. The half bannock and mushrooms has two slices of brie with the brie crust generously included and the bannock is cold in the center. The accompanying "brown water" gravy doesn't add flavour, it adds disappointment. But we soldier on. The possibly Japanese fellow is also in a battle for understanding as George repeatedly throws Japanese phrases at him. If one walked in then, they may have confused it for a sushi restaurant as she attempted to communicate loudly. "Irasshaimase!" Bannock sides for our mains arrive. We order the Saskatoon berry jam and cedar jam for the bannock. Amazing, warm, delicious. Cedar jam is unique and we're happy to taste something so new and different. I wolf it down and order another bannock. The possibly Japanese fellow and George take a picture together. I'm not clear if she or he initiated the picture request? Could have gone either way. A group arrives, and you know it, no reservations. She loudly pronounces once again how busy they are and reservations are needed as the gentleman at the head of the group bravely scans the half empty restaurant and tries to make sense of it all. He can't. He thanks her and leaves with his friends. I momentarily want to be him, on the way out, but remember the spectacle and look forward to more. Mains arrive. I ordered the elk shank daily special which comes with mashed potatoes, veg and some bone marrow in the shank. The mashed potatoes are very good, great flavour. The elk shank is dry, little flavour I expect from elk, could be beef shank for all I know. My fiancé has the wild salmon and wild rice. Rice is excellent. Salmon is over cooked but good flavour. My 2nd bannock arrives late to the party. Should have saved some earlier for the bone marrow which is now cold. The fresh bannock is cold/semi-frozen in the centre. So close! She George, the woman who we now know is owner or at least part owner, comes by to check up on us. "We love everything! Coming back tomorrow! ...with reservations!" She ventures a couple of tables down and feedback is good but she stops in her tracks, "What can we improve?" The gentleman is confused, everything is good! George doesn't accept it, "Anything but great requires improvement! That's how we work here." Where? Here?! So, the lesson is? Go here as soon as you can and get video or audio of the show while you enjoy your first round of warm bannock and cedar and Saskatoon berry jam. It's great. Skip the rest. If you want to take it up a notch, bring a possibly Japanese friend along, but have them come in separately as a tourist. Then let the evening unfold. read more

Salmon n'Bannock is one-of-a-kind. I've driven past it many times, and I am so happy that we finally ventured in to experience it. My husband and I eat everything. We are experimental and are totally willing to try anything. For the first time in ages, we were served something we'd never eaten before! There were so many things on the menu that I wanted to try, alas, my stomach is only so big. Make sure you ask about the daily specials too. They bring in fresh and interesting seasonal ingredients and use them in creative and interesting ways. Service was also excellent. The room is warm and intimate - great for date night! This is not an 'indigenous concept' restaurant. This is an Indigenous restaurant, and it is amazing. I cannot wait to go back. read more

I've had some really wonderful experiences here. The food is delicious - I highly recommend trying their specials! Service is always warm and attentive. Brigette is a gem :) read more

The food is absolutely marvellous here. They serve a variety of less common meat such as elk, bison and boar. Everything is cooked to perfection. Make sure you try the amazing bannock if your order doesn't include it (for example the burgers are done in bannock). If you are in a group, the mushroom on bannock would be a really nice appetizer to share. The soups are delicious, especially recommended on a rainy day. The atmosphere is very pleasant, with native decorations. The servers are very nice and friendly and wouldn't mind talking about the indigenous food and culture if you ask about it. This is one of my all-time favorite restaurants. I have dined here many times since 2015. I have taken my friends here often, and occasionally my visitors from work. It has always worked out very well. It might seem a bit on the pricey side at first, but it is actually a very reasonable price when you account for the quality of the food. Go there for a matchless dining experience. This is not the type of restaurant that every city has. read more

Last night I was on Broadway and decided to try this restaurant as it has great reviews. It was a total disappointment. It started with the waitress who seems to be stressed out right at the door. I sat down for over 10 mins and she finally came with the menu. Another 10 mins went by when I finally got her attention, I asked her about some dishes on the menu since it's my first time there. She appeared to be lake of energy nor patient to answer any of my question, simply point to the menu and indicated everything I needed to know was written there. So I was on my own figuring out the menu for a while. Another woman appeared as she saw my corner table was dark and she lighted the candle light with a warm smile, which was much more welcoming. But she was gone after that. So I ordered a Game Soup and their signature dish bison. The soup came ~ it was less than 1/2 of the small soup bowl that they served. I thought it was a mistake as I recalled I ordered a soup which costed $11. So it took me a while to finally got the waitress attention and asked if that's right to have less than 1/2 a bowl of soup in the bowl. She gave me this look and saying that's how they served ~ quality not quantity. And she walked away. Ok! I was as open minded as possible. Then the main dish came: two pieced bison ribs with potato, carrot and string beans. The ribs were good quality and BBQed but the vegetables were dry and hard. The dish was $37. My bill came came to over $50 after tax and tip. It wasn't a positive experience for what I paid for sure. I like the concept of authentic cooking and small place but they certainly need to improve the quality of food and services for what they are charging their customers. read more

Excellent food. It is a small kitchen so do not eat here if you are in a hurry, but the wait is worth it. It is First Nation owned and you can really taste their culture. Highly recommend read more

Four of us from out of town REALLY enjoyed dining here. Be sure to make a reservation (we did fortunately) as the owner staggers seating so courses are delivered in a timely manner (but not rushed). Request gluten free options at the time you make your reservation. We loved the appetizers, especially pemmican, blueberries with sage, cedar jelly, rosemary boar, bison and flatbread. For mains we shared bison pot roast (excellent) and salmon in seaweed pouch (decent; interesting seasoning). Desserts were bannock bread pudding and ice cream with sage -infused blueberries with a liqueur. Our waitress had created several of the professional-grade First Nations art on the walls, and told us the myth stories behind the art. Inez Cook, the owner and hostess, has succeeded in combining First Nations cuisine and environment (art and music) with a great selection. A most memorable meal! read more

I made a reservation to come in while I was on vacation.I came in with two friends and I was automaticatly greeted and askes if I was "Gladis." Haha. The food was great. I got a salmon platter and the vegeterian bannock tacos. My favorite was he salmon ceviche. The next salmon favorite was the candied version. read more

So fresh and delicious!!! The salmon salad bannockwich is my favourite. Fair price as well :)

I just left Salmon n' Bannock and need to write this review immediately, while this A+, 100% experience is still fresh in my brain. I'm alone in town from LA, for a conference, and after visiting the totem poles in Stanley Park and subsequently booking a First Nations walking tour for the next day, decided to round out my theme of learning about First Nations for the weekend by making a reservation at Salmon n' Bannock. I am so glad I did instead of eating sushi. The waitress and owner(?) were both phenomenal and had amazing recommendations. I'd made the reservation a half an hour before, noted that I was just one person, and I'd be there in a half an hour. I walked in and was greeted by the owner asking "are you Melissa??" in the friendliest tone ever, like we were friends meeting for the first time or something. Per my waitress's really fab recommendation, I had the Oolichan appetizer and the Bison Pot Roast, which were perfect recommendations on this chilly 60 degree day. Just as importantly, both the waitress and owner saw me dining alone and I felt they went above and beyond to engage me, explain to me the community significance of the food, and even provide me with a book of First Nations voices to browse while I ate. I think visiting places like Salmon n Bannock falls under the umbrella of ethical tourism and I encourage every visitor to Vancouver, and hell, every Vancouverite, to eat here and contribute economically to the First Nations communities. It's not like you'll regret it - the food is insane, and the service is spectacular. You can get sushi tomorrow. read more

From the moment we walked into the restaurant, the staff were welcoming and provided excellent service. The dishes were not only described in a tantalizing way, but the cultural education pieces were welcomed and interesting. The dishes were well-prepared and delicious, and the perfect serving size. I definitely recommend trying this place - it's more than a restaurant, it's an experience! read more

One of the most memorable meals I've had in a long time. The Mushrooms on Toasted Bannock is fantastic. Yes, add the Wild Boar Bacon on top - you won't regret it. I also had the Salmon Sampler: ceviche, mousse, and candied. The bbqed chum skin was a flavour explosion in my mouth. So good! The Main was Bison Pot Roast. It fell apart with my fork. Then, I got the final slice of the Maple Tart. What an amazing way to end the meal - so sweet and full of maple flavour. The staff were welcoming and so attentive! The decor is comforting and warm. The ambiance made for a wonderful evening. Thank you! I'll be back. read more

I can't recommend this restaurant enough. We had such an amazing experience here. If you like unique cultural experiences and excellent food, go here. Inez, the owner, has an amazing story and she's doing a really beautiful thing by sharing her culture and keeping it alive in the form of delicious and authentic dishes. I can't say enough nice things about her, she's just a lovely person! And Bridget, our waitress, is just a gem of a human and has a kindness that really radiates from within. Beautiful food, service and experience! read more

I saw this place in passing by foot. This place has been around for a long time, however, being so small I miss it on the bus but this is one of the reasons why I walk sometimes to the station, to find treasures such as these. Just a word to the wise that the website when looking up the menu will automatically open a word document which is not a good thing, especially if you have a strict personal and professional uploading and downloading policy with computers. They may want to actually make a physical page for those wishing to browse their menu so that people don't feel at risk when it comes to downloading menus. I came here to specifically try the bannock. I've never had bannock before, however, hear a lot of people talk about it all the time. I loved it. I had it with the chilli, however, I can picture how this would be amazing with jam. Just the bannock alone was filing. The waitress was super friendly and attentative. She explained to me the different types of meat as I have limited knowledge of game meat. She also took the time to give me some information on bannock. The foodie in me appreciated that. The atmosphere is down to earth and welcoming with traditional music in the background which made me relaxed. The chilli was very filling which was appreciated. Good mixture of flavours. read more

We decided to have dinner here because the idea of First Nations food intrigued us, and it was easy to make reservations via email. The inside is fairly small but feels spacious and is dimly lit and decorated in such a way that you feel like you're in a really upscale restaurant. Our waitress was really friendly and knowledgeable about everything in the kitchen. I got the Free range bison burger, and while it was actually a bit plain, my entire dish felt really wholesome and healthy because it wasn't greasy at all. The best part, surprisingly, were the 5 or so sweet potato wedges - they were delicious! I would come here again for the ambience, service, and unique menu. Street parking was a breeze too! read more

"First Native Style Restaurant" of Vancouver We start with "Bannock" it's a signature bread of this restaurant.The texture of Bannock like biscuits and appetizers was "Smoking sealion" This's the first time that I taste the sea lion.It was like the smoke drying beef but has juicy inside.The smokiness was good. The fist main course was"Wild Sockeye Salmon in Haida Gwaii Kelp Medicine Pouch, Bannock Dumpling, White Wine, Citrus Sauce" Salmon was cooked perfectly.The inside was juicy ness but Kelp tasted like a herb.I never eat it before I come to this restaurant.The second main course was"Open Faced Bison Sandwich; 24-Hours Slow Roasted Bison served with our signature gravy" Bison was cooked perfectly.It's melt in your mouth.Slow cooked bison taste like a braised beef.The third main course was"Elk Escalope mushroom cream sauce, vegetables, Mash potatoe" It's the first time that I eat Elk.It's taste like good beef and perfectly cooking.The inside was medium rare and very juicy and the grilled cause good smokiness.But the price was $$$. read more

Food was quite good, but treated very poorly by the staff. We should've been warned ahead of time that we had to use the entire $150 gift card all at once. We had no clue this was the case, and it says it nowhere on the gift card. Tried to make us buy $100 worth of extra food after we had already finished the meal, because they initially refused to just update the remaining balance on the gift card. Eventually the problem was resolved, but only after being treated poorly and waiting 45 additional minutes strictly for the super simple matter to be settled. Tipped relatively poorly for good reason, and got a passive-aggressive comment in return. We had such a bad experience at the end that we hardly even want to go back and use the rest of the gift card. read more

Fantastic service and amazing food! The waitress took time to thoroughly explain the menu, which was new to me. I will be back!

I had heard so many great things about this place so I finally decided to give it a try when my parents were in town for a visit. We had such a fantastic experience! We started with the salmon sampler and west coast sampler, and both were utterly delicious. We were spoiled with house-made gravlox, salmon candy, salmon mousse, herring roe on kelp (brined; raw and poached), eulachon oil, and smoked eulachon. So good. For mains we had the elk burger, sockeye salmon burger, and sockeye salmon fillet dinner and they were all really tasty. Did I mention that the burgers were served on bannock? YUM. What really rounded off the experience was the friendliness of the staff and owner. They came by to check on us often, made sure we had what we needed, and even offered us (get this) the restaurant's selfie stick with a hilarious rationale to boot. Highly recommend this place for a delicious and entertaining dining experience! read more

Didn't realize they've been here for 2 years, guess that Toys r Us just overshadows them... anyways, ordered the deer stew, which was quite tasty; similar to beef but tasted better, and healthier too. But their specialty bread, the bannock which is like a better, upgrade version of a biscuit/scone, nice n crispy on the outside...esp. dipped into the stew, very tasty. stew had plenty of the good stuff, potatoes, carrots, onions, peas... Will return to try their bison and elk! friendly staff, like the art decor... Also offer the Dine out. read more

Food is average. service is very good, ambience is good. my overall rating is entirely for food taste only, sorry that matters to me the most. I usually drive hours to eat in restaurants. I am surprised to see other ratings on this restaurant. I would rate sushi gen much higher than this place which is a hole in a wall and is much closer to me. read more

I can't believe I haven't been here sooner. Located on Broadway, I think most Vancouverites have passed this restaurant and not noticed yet. I certainly didn't (despite going to the Japanese restaurant Shizen Ya just a few doors down!). My best friend had heard this was a great place for dinner and excellent salmon so we tried it out to celebrate his birthday. The restaurant is small but cozy with great local art on the walls. The service was warm, friendly and attentive as soon as we entered. The menu has tons of items that caught my eye, including salmon (naturally), and game like elk and bison. They have rotating specials and I was intrigued by the game special (duck sausages) but really wanted to test their salmon. I decided on the salmon burger because it also came on bannock, which was another thing I wanted to try. Gotta try the items their known for right? We also opted for the mushrooms and brie appetizer served on thick slice of bannock, and the game appetizer which was an assortment of game, cheese, jams, and bannock crackers. (Notice the bannock theme? More on that later). Everything was delicious, though I did wish for a bit more than 2 small slices of cheese on the plate. The salmon burger was cooked perfectly and I even liked the house pickles which didn't seem complementary when I first read it. I opted for sweet potato fries as my side and they came out as thick wedges, nicely cooked and not oily. I was so stuffed having eaten so many carbs with all that bannock, but I was curious about dessert. I joked that we needed to end the meal with more bannock and lo and behold, what did we have? Bannock bread pudding. At the end of the meal, we tallied up all the variations of bannock we ate and laughed - It was like an episode of Chopped right there in the restaurant. Great meal, lovely staff, I'll definitely be back. And not just to re-up on bannock! read more

Had a delicious meal here tonight. I had to start with the Indian candy, since I'd read so much about it on Yelp. Totally different than anything I've had - sort of like "salmon fries," but on a bed of fresh arugula and drizzled with a maple dressing. OMG I could seriously fill a swimming pool with that maple dressing and drink my way out of it! At our server's recommendation, we also ordered the mushroom & brie on bannock starter, which was warm, creamy, gooey, mushroomy heaven. Ok ok, let's just stop there. Quit while you're ahead right? (never!) So on we marched. I went for the Salmon n' Bannock burger, my colleague for the bison burger. Both were excellent - if I could eat nothing else all week, I'd go for one salmon n' bannock burger after another. Fresh, succulent wild sockeye salmon with a creamy cole slaw style topping? Yes, another please! Until I realize that bannock is an incredibly filling bread (think biscuits, fellow Americans...), and realized that I can't eat another bite of... anything! The servers were kind, professional, personable, and highly attentive without being oppressive. Perfect. The ambience? At first, it felt a little too... romantic?... for dinner with a colleague, but the ambience matched the food, matched the service, matched everything. I wouldn't change a thing. Salmon n' Bannock, I wish I lived closer. But at the same time, I'm glad I don't... I'd be there every day and surely you would get tired of seeing me. ;-) read more

Fantastic service and great food. The bison ribs fell off the bone, the salmon was perfectly cooked, and the appetizer samplwr was unique (I didn't love all of it, but I'm always glad when I get to try something unique and new). Highly recommended. read more

This was an incredible experience. Watching the various dishes pass by us to the other customers was a certain clue to the wonderfulness to come. Appetizers were to out of this world. I'm convinced I could live on the Butternut Squash Apple soup. The Sage infused Salmon was perfect. Indian Candy could've been any more satisfying. Love how the house made berry jam finds it's way onto the plates. My beautiful date and I asked for a little more to coat our Bannock scones. My incredibly lovely date had the salmon which was out of this world and I had the Bison. Both dishes done to perfection. The wild rice and oat risotto was intoxicating. I'm still dreaming of those mushrooms. Ending our evening was a Rhubarb crunch that just plain leveled us both. The servers were nothing but perfect. Friendly. Fast. Stars on your foreheads. I applauded the chefs. Clearly they love food and their sense of style and command of flavor is without match in my book. We will return soon and often. read more

On a rainy wednesday a colleague suggested trying this place to get my opinion on the food. Our server was more than friendly and very knowledgable about First Nations food. The decor has native art incorporated into the place but still a bit more westernized that what I would have expected. I decided to ask the host for her favourite and she suggested the deer soup specially on a 'rainforesty' Vancouver day. The presentation is excellent and almost everything on the menu with Bannock. Having never tried Bannock I would characterize it as half baked bread with an interesting texture and very filling. The deer stew was cooked to perfection, full of hearty vegetable and all around goodness. The server explained due the manner the deer is hunted the blood is emptied out and takes away the gaminess that I was fearing before ordering. I also tasted a bit of my colleague's bison burger which was cooked to perfection and was accompanied with potato wedges done the First Nation way. I definitely suggest trying out this place to get a feel for real Canadian food. read more

I had lunch here today with a friend, and the salmon 'n bannock burger was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life!!! The salmon was literally melt in your mouth and the sweet potato fries that went with it were delicious. The service was really good, too. My girlfriend and I were taking the obligatory pictures of our food and our waitress offered us a selfie stick! It's a small restaurant but the atmosphere is funky and relaxed. I would definitely go back again. read more

Salmon n' Bannock - The salmon 'n bannock burger - Canadian (New) Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I think that this is an incredibly unique restaurant and it certainly deserves much praise. I would categorize it as First Nations fine-dining cuisine. The soups are so incredibly tasty, the Bannock bread is worth every calorie, and the meats are uniquely prepared. One time I was ordering take-out and got into a friendly conversation with the owner of the restaurant (I didn't know she was the owner at first). She was incredibly friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed that the conversation went beyond a typical superficial chat while waiting for food. I can't rave about this restaurant more. read more

This is a fun restaurant. Darnell and Charlene provided excellent service. I had the Sage Smoked Bannock Flatbread, which was excellent. I suggest ordering different entrees to be shared around the table, so guests can sample and see what they like the best. Also, I would love to see the restaurant provide more history and culinary info about First Nations' traditions. read more

It was my first time visiting this place. I brought two of my friends. We were seated right beside fire place. It was very warm and cozy. The lady who seemed like an owner welcomed us.

Overall my experience with food was good. It was good but it wasn't cheap. read more
