We were on Grandville island and tried out Tony's Fish and oyster café. We got the 1 piece halibut with yam fries and 1 piece salmon with onion rings. I found that the salmon fish was not fully battered evenly, and that the salmon was quite dry. For the price that you pay here, I was expecting a premium high quality fish! I liked the halibut and this was nice and crispy. The onion rigs and yam fries were nice and crispy and I did like how they gave 2 sauces each and this was enough for the fish and chips. The restaurant has limited seating, but we didn't have to wait long for a spot! read more

this place is tiny tiny. it isn't fancy inside by any means, but there is a cute mural with sea creatures painted on it towards the front. my friend and i were crammed into a corner with a tiny table. that isn't a complaint, though -- it was jam-packed and busy, which i always take as a good sign! the woman that helped us was wonderful, too. we decided to split some oysters and a seafood sampler for two to maximise what we got to try. the menu itself is pretty simple, but with this kind of food it doesn't need to be complicated. our sampler was fried to perfection: crispy, not overly greasy, even, and well-seasoned. it was sooo good and the portion was massive; we couldn't even finish all of it and we're big time eaters. overall, if you're over in granville and looking for warm and hearty seafood, this is the one. i'll be back for sure. read more

Food TASTES AWFUL and GOT FOOD POISONING. Came for the clam chowder and cod and Caesar salad instead of fries. Told my wife the food tastes off especially the coleslaw and clam chowder. I ended up shortly after with vomiting and diahrrea. Was fine all day until after I ate at this restaurant. We both got sick and ruled out other things because this was the only meal that we shared and had the same thing.. EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK. Come here to Take a chance and ruin your vacation. read more

Awesome meal here. Limited number of seats but didn't have to wait too long. Shared a couple lunch specials and clams, and were quite satisfied for 3 adults and one 8 year old. The clam chowder was amazing. I wanted 10 more bowls of it. Honestly, I don't remember having a better clam chowder, ever. Top notch! Cod fish was delicious as was the slaw. Fries were just okay, that's really the only knock. We still ate them but if those were anywhere like the fish and chowder this place would be perfect. Great meal, would dine again! read more

A great place for fish. Friendly service and fresh food. The raw oysters were tender and tasty. Both the fish & chips and pan seared salmon were good, and the portions were generous. Skip the bananas foster dessert. It was not done well. read more

We stopped by Tony's Fish & Oyster Cafe for a quick and simple dinner before heading to The Improv Centre on Granville Island. My husbandand I shared a Breaded Oyster Platter for our dinner. The oysters were plump, crispy, hot and delish! This restaurant is right next door to The Improv Centre so it's an excellent choice for dinner if you've got a show to go to afterwards!

We stopped in to grab a bite before heading back after a full day at the market and it was completely packed. It is a small place, with about 20 seats capacity but it was jammed. We waited at the stool tables, the staff took our order for beverages until a table opened up. The Granville Island Ale was pretty good. The menu was not extensive but had a good selection of seafood options. I ordered the Tiger Prawn Platter with fries and coleslaw. The food was good, shrimp slightly over cooked and overpriced but I enjoyed my plate. read more

We stopped in here for lunch while at Granville Market. We were seated right away and our server was very efficient and quick. We tried the clam chowder which had a nice peppery flavor. The fried cod was fresh and flaky and went well with the tarter sauce and coleslaw. The fries were warm and crispy. Check it out for a nice easy meal! read more

My partner suggested this spot after reading some reviews online, it's a small family friendly joint! The restaurant gets quite busy during lunch, I would suggest plan accordingly and come after the lunch rush. The restaurant holds about 20 people or less, the ambiance is that of a fish spot with seafood art on the walls. Since this was our first stop in Granville Island and wanted to try and see everything, we decided to share the clam chowder and the infamous fish and Chips! Great customer service, daughter was our server, mother washing dishes very humble people. If you are in a hurry, I wouldn't suggest coming here, everything is made fresh to order so it'll take a min. The food was hot and absolutely delicious, one of the best fish and chips around! read more

We planned our visit to the Granville market strategically so that we could pick a spot for lunch and get there before the crowds. Today we picked this restaurant initially because of the fish & chips, walked in around noon and was seated right away because a table cleared just in time. The restaurant was already full. We ordered the fish (cod) & chips w/clam chowder lunch special. The fish was fresh and moist, and the batter was very crispy. We also ordered a Caesar salad, mussels, and 1/2 dozen oysters (royal miyagi). Soup and salad were good, but the mussels and oysters were great! Super fresh, plump, and so delicious! This was one of the best lunches we've had in Vancouver in a long while. Great experience here and highly recommend everything we ordered. read more

Stopped in to Tony's for lunch. It is located just as you enter Granville Island (after crossing the bridge) and next to Vancouver Fish Company. It has limited seating but we were seated after a short wait during the busy lunchtime hour. Hats off to the waitress for balancing seating everyone and serving the patrons, she was fantastic and attentive! We had the cod fish and chips lunch special and fried calamari. Both were delicious as we like the light flaky coating for the calamari and the thicker crispier coating for the cod. The clam chowder was amazing! Food came out quickly despite a busy crowd and they do take out orders as well. Simple but clean space with a colorful mural of their oceanic menu items. Would definitely recommend stopping in for lunch if in the Granville Island area! read more

We stopped in for lunch here. It was so busy that there was a line out the door. We postponed our visit until a little bit later and were able to get a table for two. It's a very very small restaurant and moving around was difficult. Our server was very nice and we appreciated that. My wife ordered the daily special which was one piece of cod, french fries and a bowl of clam chowder. I had two piece salmon fish and chips, which also came with coleslaw. I thought my fish was wonderful. It was lightly battered and piping hot. My wife, thought her cod was also very good. But she really loved the chowder. read more

A decent place for fish and chips. Prices are fair for Granville Island. I am really not much of a fish and chips fan as everything is fried and sometimes it is more batter than fish. I was going to give this place a miss until I saw the lunch special. Fish and chips with clam chowder for $15? I was hooked. The clam chowder was alright, quite mild tasting. Certainly not the best I had but it did taste very homely. It came with a small slice of bread, no crackers. The fish and chips was ok. I liked the huge piece of cod. Lightly battered. It was not crispy by the time I walked over to the waterfront area to eat it. Guessed the box steamed it up. Luckily it was not soggy either. The tartar sauce was nice, almost like mayo. I dipped the fries in it too. The chips were coarsest chopped. I preferred the ends and bits which were crispier. Slaw was good too. Hit this place up if you are looking for decent fish and chips at a good price in Granville Island. read more

We ordered the seafood platter for two and the clam chowder. The service was very good as the women who was helping us was super polite. It is well decorated making it a nice place to eat. The clam chowder was good but I was not impressed with the calamari as I thought it was kinda rubbery. Everything else on the plate was good but over priced for the amount on the plate. In the picture showed 3 pieces of cod and only got 2. Also a lot more fries than expected. If you are in the area and looking for seafood I would give it a try but I have had better fish before. read more

Calamari was fire but the oysters made us all sick. Whole family is still pukin'. I'd say not worth it

This little seafood cafe has been here at Granville Island for years and years. The price is always reasonable and the seafood is super tasty. I like that the fish is plump. They also have a lunch special. Due to Covid, there are only three tables inside. However, you can order it to go which is what a lot of people are doing. There are lots of spots around Granville Island to have a little picnic with your fish and chips :) read more

Tiny place! Terrible service. Rude waitress. Food is average. Prices are high. Definitely overrated.

Was highly suggested this place by my guidebook and I'm always down for fish and chips. They are already a small place so with covid measures they only have 3 tables inside and no plexiglass but they are spaced out enough. The waitress wore a mask the whole time and guests with take out orders are asked to wait outside to order and receive their food. I got the lunch special for dinner which is their classic cod fish and chips and a bowl of chowder. As long as they have soup left, you can get the lunch special! I loved the food, it was so good. Filling and warm and homey. It would've been the best fish and chips during my trip but Victoria holds that record! My waitress was so nice. She chatted with my about the menu for a bit and refilled my water bottle. Service is super fast here. read more

A very solid food option in Granville Island, their Fish & Chips don't disappoint. The Cod is really crispy yet cooked to perfection on the inside. The fries do not feel too greasy, and feel more like a hearty complement than a guilty pleasure. I would have liked some better garnishing, I think the coleslaw could have been better. But overall I enjoyed it. Also, the clam chowder was great but nothing mind-blowing. read more

Popped in for a sunny sunday takeaway and was not disappointed! Nice benches to wait while your order was made, and quick friendly service. I had the butterfly prawns, they were crispy and delicious, with a nice hint of spice cocktail sauce. My partner had the two piece salmon and chips, phew generous portions! Could've done with one piece next time ;) Even the slaw was crunchy and not over dressed. They wrap up with take away utensils in napkins with salt and pepper, vinegar and ketchup very cute and shows a lot of effort. Unfortantely most of the batter came off the salmon when you used your fork (no knives provided) which is too bad, but it was still tasty all "deconstructed" I'll come try it again, those scallops were calling my name ;) read more

This little fish and chips place is in Granville Market. Expect the $$ pricing. The place is small and gets packed very quickly! Service is fast and efficient. Are the fish and chips the best? They are ok. Nothing special. Basically fast food cooking and too much breading and oil with no flavoring. They are making it as you order so it's quick and easy dip fry. Clam chowder in a tiny small cup is loaded with pepper that is almost $6! Tourist and visitors will think this place is a little bit cheaper than inside the public market but no. A little overpriced for fish and chips and seafood but again it is in Granville Market. read more

We stopped to have their lunch special: fish and chips with tartar, clam chowder and coleslaw for $13.99. Waiting: My friend and I were waiting about 20 min and when we got seated, it's already passed lunch time. But server accepted our request for lunch special. That was good. I feel bad to her actually. It might not be her responsibility but why they have only one server on busy weekend lunch time with lots of tourists? It's tiny restaurant but they should have one more person. Waiting people jammed on sidewalk. Cod: big volume. Original tartar: very mild and kinda sweet. Love it. Vinegar on counter was also quite mild. Usually I don't use it much but really tasty here. Clam chowder: mmm way too much salt and pepper in it. And no flavor of clam. It was like just potato chowder unfortunately. Dunno if I want to come back. But surely good location to have quick lunch. read more
