Native Canadian eatery featuring wild fish, game, bannock & art
"Vancouver's only Indigenous restaurant, serving traditional and contemporary Indigenous dishes, owned by Nuxalk Nation member Inez Cook."
"This small, friendly bistro is the city’s only Indigenous restaurant, and it uses ingredients that the region’s First Nations traditionally favor, from wild salmon to berries to game meats. Bison pot roast, sockeye served over wild rice, and smoked sablefish with polenta and roasted beets are among their standards, and you can pair them all with wines from Indigenous producers. Don’t skip the signature bannock, a traditional biscuit-like bread that can be made sweet with housemade jam or savory with sauteed mushrooms, melted brie, and bison gravy. This place is perfect for a quick, casual meal with a friend or two—just keep in mind that it’s a dinner-only spot that’s open from 3-9pm every day." - carolyn b heller, amber gibson

"I tried Indigenous foods like bison, candied salmon, and bannock (unleavened bread) at Salmon n' Bannock, which the text identifies as Vancouver's only Indigenous-owned and -operated restaurant." - Johanna Read Johanna Read Canadian travel writer Johanna Read specializes in responsible tourism — helping travelers make destinations better (or at least not worse) when they visit.

"In Vancouver I feasted at Salmon n’ Bannock, the city’s single Indigenous-owned restaurant, and was moved to tears when owner Inez Cook recounted being forcibly taken as a baby, raised by a white family, and later rediscovering her heritage through the restaurant and reuniting with her Nuxalk Nation." - Travel + Leisure Editors
