Best Family Style Restaurants in Stanley Park

We had a great first dining experience at Acquafarina celebrating a special birthday. The food was amazing, service was impeccable and so quick! Our server, Kayla did an outstanding job of making us feel welcome, comfortable and answered all of our questions. Super friendly service and lovely ambiance (the live music performer was so great, the violin playing was beautiful). Would and will 100% recommend Acquafarina!

We sat at one of Chef's tables in the kitchen area and really enjoyed the experience. The service was excellent with good recommendations, and the food was fantastic. Great experience all around.

The food and service is great. My husband and I shared the chicken parmigiana and pasta with spicy vodka tomato sauce, really great. This is the second time I’ve had the chicken parmigiana, definitely a share dish. Also had a happy hour transfusion (vodka, grape juice, ginger) so yummy!

If you’re in Vancouver and love fresh, beautifully prepared dishes, Oddfish is an absolute must-visit! This restaurant offers a seasonal menu where the freshness of the ingredients — especially fish and vegetables — takes center stage. The service is exceptional, with a friendly and knowledgeable staff that enhances the whole experience. Make sure you try the ceviche, which is simply divine, and the salmon with its perfectly crispy skin, a true masterpiece of flavor and texture. Both dishes showcase how fresh ingredients can shine when skillfully crafted. With its relaxed atmosphere and a touch of creativity in the menu, Oddfish is the perfect spot for casual dinners or special occasions. Don’t miss the chance to discover this gem in Vancouver!

Great lunch. Felt rushed - the tone was set upon checking in (with reservations) that our table had a reservation and hour later. I looked on line and there were still availability for reservations every hour after ours. When you are having several courses, the timeline is set by the server who takes our order and the kitchen. Our order was not taken promptly so that at up into one hour lunch. At the the one hour mark, we were not yet finished but there were other table empty and no one waiting at the door. 😡 food was good and have been wanting to eat here for quite sometime. Would I eat here again -yes. Would I make a reservation for lunch - yes but at 2 pm when you know there is no reservations coming in for your table after because I want to enjoy the food and not chow down like I was at a fast food joint.
