A cozy gem in Vancouver, Salmon n’ Bannock serves up mouthwatering Native Canadian dishes like perfectly cooked game meat and hearty bannock in a warm, welcoming setting.
"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

"Salmon n’ Bannock is the only Indigenous-owned restaurant in Vancouver. It provides a unique dining experience that includes Indigenous cuisine and storytelling. The restaurant is also significant for its owner, Inez Cook, who rediscovered her heritage through the restaurant after being forcibly taken from her family as a baby." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Now interest in these kinds of experiences is booming as travelers seek out authentic, responsible ways to engage with the places they visit. This summer, three more First Nations communities have opened eco-resorts, adding to a solid base of Indigenous-owned businesses throughout the province that includes Salmon n' Bannock Bistro on the coast and long-loved Ainsworth Hot Springs Resort in the Kootenays."
