It’s a true West Coast dining experience.

The West Coast is known for its vibrant seafood dining culture, with fresh catch off the coast, be it oysters, salmon, lobsters, or geoduck. If you are looking for a tasty seafood dinner, then look no further than Coast Restaurant in the heart of downtown Vancouver. The restaurant’s revamped menu is bound to please, with mouth-watering dishes such as the Torched Sable Sashimi and the aromatic Herb Crusted Ling Cod.

The menu also shares Coast Restaurant’s rendition of Tako wasabi, where the octopus is wrapped around a cube of cucumber and topped with seaweed, horseradish, and olive oil to offer a different presentation albeit with the same key ingredients.

The Torched Sable Sashimi is brimming with delicate oils and the texture is ultra-smooth. Served in Yuzu Kosho to balance the heavier fish oils with its citrusy and tart flavor. The Arugula Roasted Yam Salad is a hearty salad with avocado cubes, crunchy toasted nuts, chewy and slightly sweet sun-dried cranberries, and crumbled goat cheese storing pockets of concentrated flavor. A serving of greens was welcomed before we moved on to the Coast Signature entrées.

The Lobster Tagliatelle was highly recommended by the chef, and it was rich and decadent and everything we imagined it to be with its sweet and tangy sundried tomato prawn cream sauce. Prawns are nestled into the creamy pastas whereas a lobster tail sits atop the dish.

The Herb Crusted Ling Cod is served with roasted zucchini, cauliflower fingerling potatoes and mussel cream. The mussel cream really adds flavour to the fish, and the herbs add both aroma and texture to the firm texture of the ling cod.

Of course, no meal is complete without ordering from the dessert menu, so we opted for the classic Carolyn’s Cheese Cake with raspberry ganache which was creamy and decadent, and the Coconut Dome, which looks like a snowball enveloping the sweet chocolate coconut mousse inside. To our surprise, the cheese cake was actually lighter than the Coconut Dome, since the chocolate mousse within has a truffle-like texture.

If you are still deciding where you should go for a delightful holiday meal this season, we would recommend the festive and cozy dining environment at Coast Restaurant and its attentive staff who will take great care of you.
