Best Casual Restaurants in Dunbar-Southlands

Maxine’s was great! Natalie was our server and she was outstanding! She was so sweet! The food was so good and very reasonably priced! We sat outside and it was very quiet, but cozy!

We had a great birthday dinner at Wildlight: the restaurant was busy at 7:15, when we came, but we got a nice patio table marked with Birthday card from Wildlight, enjoyed our food (delicious dishes and impressive presentation) and cocktails, and had a really cool Riverside Rock cake for dessert from Wildlight. Our server was amazing - she went above and beyond to make our celebration special. We keep coming back to Wildlight for our special dates - great atmosphere, amazing food, and excellent service ❤️👍

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!

Outstanding food and service. We sat at the Chefs Table where we looked directly into the kitchen. Wonderful experience. 10/10 would recommend for anyone.
