The Boathouse Restaurant
The Boathouse Restaurant in Port Moody has been a waterfront staple for over 25 years, known for fresh West Coast seafood and uninterrupted views of Burrard Inlet. If you’re after a meal that feels like a celebration of local waterside living, this is the place: roomy dining with floor-to-ceiling windows, a covered patio for rainy Vancouver days, and a lively harbourfront energy that’s hard to beat.
Their menu focuses on Pacific flavours executed with care. Expect house-smoked salmon, West Coast Dungeness crab when in season, and a cedar-plank salmon entrée that remains a guest favourite. They also offer a substantial selection of steak and vegetarian options, plus a kids’ menu for families. The beverage list highlights local BC wines and craft beers, and their cocktail menu includes classics plus seasonal creations. The Port Moody location handles private events up to roughly 120 guests, with tailored menus and AV support for presentations or celebrations.
What stands out is how they run service. Servers know the menu and can recommend dishes based on seasonality and portion size, kitchen staff source local seafood suppliers and rotate features weekly, and the front-of-house team keeps seating flowing so reservations and walk-ins mix smoothly. They make simple things reliable, like consistent plate timing and attentive wine pours, while offering extras such as birthday desserts or dietary substitutions on request.
Locals come back for the combination of reliable cooking, harbour views, and friendly staff who remember regulars. It’s a place families choose for milestone dinners, coworkers book for corporate lunches, and visitors pick when they want a true Port Moody dining experience.
