The GOODS from Dockside

Vancouver, BC | It would be hard to argue that any city enjoys its summers more than Vancouver does and, as long as the sun is shining, patios are the hub of Vancouver social life. This summer, Dockside Restaurant at the Granville Island Hotel has been celebrating the launch of their spectacular renovated patio with the return of the Jazz & Blues Brunch Series. Backed by the patio’s unbeatable views of False Creek and Yaletown, Dockside is featuring free live music every Sunday from 11-3pm. See who is playing and when after the leap…

The performer schedule for the rest of the summer has just been announced and first up this Sunday, on the BC Day Long weekend, is Vancouver legend Steve Kozak who’s been playing his brand of jump and Texas blues around town for over 30 years. The schedule continues weekly until Labour Day.

Whether you just want to relax with a fresh beer or two from the in-house Dockside Brewery or enjoy something from the extensive brunch menu, the Legendary Jazz and Blues Brunch is one of the best ways to enjoy one of Vancouver’s great patio experiences.

The complete schedule is below.

About Dockside

The Dockside Restaurant offers superbly prepared classic dishes in a setting like no other. Located on the waterfront where Granville Island faces the city, guests can enjoy panoramic views across False Creek to the world-famous cityscape of Yaletown and beyond to the mountains of the North Shore.

The open dining room is relaxed yet refined, wrapped in spectacular floor to ceiling windows, while the lounge offers warm intimate surroundings for evening cocktails. The award-winning patio catches sunlight from morning to late afternoon. Protected on three sides it’s an oasis of calm, disturbed only by the occasional sound of boats making their way along False Creek. Recent renovations have added fireplaces and casual seating areas to this Vancouver destination.

These three venues offer seating options that are perfect for groups from 4 to 200. With signature elements like a 50-foot aquarium and an open kitchen, each meal is an experience for all the senses. Located adjacent to the boutique Granville Island Hotel, the Dockside Restaurant is open seven days a week serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Reservations are recommended.

Reviews

“This is our very favorite place. We drive into town from Delta and make an evening of browsing through Granville Isl. Market. The restaurnat is perfect for a quiet evening.View is wonderful. I appreciate the spacious arrangement of the tables. We have our favorite table, the staff and service is fabulous. I had the herb crusted Halibut – it was delicious and my husband enjoyed the slate fish. It was a memorable evening. We look forward to another visist very soon. As well, we have enjoyed the great patio – has to be one of Vancouver’s best.” OpenTable.com

“We have going to Vancouver for many years and most recently (if twenty years can be considered recently) staying exclusively at the wonderful Graville Island Hotel. Because we have an aversion to hotel restaurants, this is the first time we have had dinner there. It was one of the finest dinners we have in a city that is known for its fine restaurants. Outstanding in every way!” OpenTable.com

“We enjoyed the welcoming feel of the restaurant – appropriate lighting, comfortable seating – it is like a comfortable dining room. We will return again as the restaurant has once again met our expectations. The salmon was nicely prepared and the lamb was well presented and excellent on the tongue. Service was well-timed and friendly, wines were affordable.” OpenTable.com
