Aqua Riva is a large, bustling restaurant, a favourite of businesspeople looking for a great lunch and evening diners in search of a memorable meal. Every table has a sweeping view of the lively waterfront. It’s also a great place to meet friends of business associates for tapas and a cocktail after work – their pomegranate martini is a true one-of-a-kind indulgence. You’ll also be partial to their rack of ribs, and the lamb (when on the menu) is always a special treat.

The dishes will give you an exciting taste of South American cuisine.

For two years running, Jack Evrensel’s Blue Water Café collected the silver award for Best Seafood Restaurant at a local Restaurant Awards event. Meanwhile, back in the kitchen, Frank Pabst, executive chef and Eleanor Chow, pastry chef are proving to be a dynamic new match to Blue Water’s established sushi chef Yoshi Tabo. But perhaps one of Vancouver’s favourite things about Blue Water – after the food – is that the Vancouver Canucks hockey team players often drop in for a healthy seafood nosh after a home-ice game.
