Joe Fortes Seafood & Chop House

"Named for a much-loved English Bay lifeguard, this lively brasserie has a piano bar, bistro, oyster bar, and a delightful covered rooftop patio." Full review

"Rooftop scene shifts from power lunch to a pulchritudinous crunch faster than you can say buck-a-shuck happy hour oysters."

"The restaurant plays the food straight: fish and seafood presented simply and without contemporary frills – and in generous portions."

"“Year after year”, this “bustling” West End “institution” “shines”, whether for “oysters and martinis” at the horseshoe bar or a “huge choice” of “excellent seafood” and steaks." Full review

"Specializing in classic American-style cooking, this restaurant in the heart of Vancouver buzzes with personality." Full review
