Looking for some of the freshest seafood in Vancouver? We were and our concierge directed us to Coast Restaurant.
We wanted to have an exceptionally high end meal in Vancouver and take advantage of what the city had to offer. That led us to look for something with either Asian flare or seafood, Coast allowed us to have a little of both.
We started with the King Crab Tempura Roll. Absolutely Amazing! This was fresh, crisp and ultra hip! A true flavor explosion on the palate. The trout roe garnish was like little champagne bubbles popping in your mouth.
We also ordered the Dungeness Crab Pountine. Coasts version of this traditional Canadian dish was crispy french fries, cream gravy (resembling a hollandaise sauce,) cheese curds, smoky bacon, and dungeness crab. Garnished with a fried soft egg. Break the yolk and dig in!! This was one of the most delicious comfort foods I have ever eaten! Our waiter joked that he had his cardiologist on standby.
For our entree we ordered the Hot Signature Platter. We wanted to try a little of everything. Salmon, shrimp, scallops, ling cod, all served around a platter of Thai rice and crispy edamame. The salmon was so fresh, probably came out of the water that morning, and the shrimp and scallops were cooked to perfection! The cod was firm and moist and everything was seasoned to perfection.
We opted to go back to Fairmont and have dessert. We had a chocolate molten caked garnished with whipped cream and served with fresh berries. The chocolate cake was covered in ganache and the middle of the cake was filled with a gooey mess of chocolatey goodness! A great way to end a perfect evening!
Coast Restaurant is worth seeking out in Vancouver.
