The story
On Vancouver's Cambie Street, in the heart of the stadium district, Fanny Bay Oyster Bar brings the coast straight to your table. This is a place rooted in decades of shellfish farming—over 40 years of experience from the Taylor Shellfish Farms family—and it shows in every shucked oyster. The restaurant is a Michelin Recommended spot, a recognition that nods to the consistent quality and dedication to seafood that defines the experience.
The menu is built around Vancouver's freshest shellfish. Perfectly shucked oysters are the star, served in a relaxed, welcoming setting. Happy hour runs daily from 2pm to 6pm, making it easy to stop by for a round of briny bivalves and a drink. Walk-ins are always welcome, though limited reservations are available for weekday happy hour. For larger groups—eight or more—or to book the private 'Kelp' room, reservations are recommended at least a week in advance.
Beyond the oyster bar, there's a shellfish market on-site, open from 10am to 5pm. You can order ahead online for retail pickups, bringing that same incredible shellfish experience home. (Note: raw shellfish prepared for dine-in cannot be taken to go, but live shellfish from the market are yours to shuck yourself.)
Fanny Bay Oyster Bar also offers private dining and catering, with buyouts available for up to 100 people. Whether it's a full room, half room, or the intimate Kelp room, the space adapts to your event. For mobile oyster bar inquiries, the team is ready to bring the party to you.
The atmosphere is casual and lively, especially during game days when extended hours turn the bar into a watch party hub. It's a straightforward, no-fuss approach to exceptional seafood—exactly what you want from a Michelin Recommended oyster bar in Vancouver.
