Shallaw has also made it a priority to ensure that original heritage design features have been kept and the result is a careful blend of ” old ” and ” new “. The end result is beautiful , well designed space which promises to be a landmark among North / West Vancouver restaurants. At Fishworks we strive to be the best at everything we do.

Lovely casual environment. Good value during happy hour. The food was excellent, great flavours, a very creative menu. However, we all (5 of us) found it excessively salty… next time I will be sure to ask that they go light on the salt. Definitely worth the visit!

I had requested as quiet a table as possible, but when we were shown what they had saved for us, we decided it was too close to the door. They found the next best - a corner table - and it was perfect! Although there was lots of talking, there was no background music so we were able to hear everyone quite comfortably. Plus, our waitress worked hard to accommodate our requests - food quickly for a starving child to start! As always the food was excellent. We don’t get to Vancouver often, but when we do we always make sure to include a meal at Fishworks. It is our favourite place to dine!!
