The salmon served here is farmed not wild like the owners would like you to think....it sounds like the first few reviews were writen by the owners!

Prospect Point is always a real highlight. We always take the family around Stanley Park when they come to visit Vancouver and this is the only casual dining restaurant in the park, where you get tremendous value. There is nothing like sitting 200 feet over the water at the highest point in the park, overlooking the Lions Gate Bridge and eating a wonderful meal. The menu is westcoast, and specializes in wild BC salmon but their burgers are also awesome, and there's other stuff like italian food, great sandwiches, steaks and seafood. There's also a great gift shop where you can do all your souvenir and local westcoast gift buying, and for dessert, the Ice Cream Parlour menu is a delight. It's a truly unique and amazing Vancouver landmark. I highly recommend the Lookout Point for families and visitors coming to Vancouver.

I recently visited the Prospect Point Lookout in Stanely Park with my wife Cherie and our lab. We hiked the trails up from the seawall which were the most challenging in the park - a terrific workout. After that, we needed to rest, and discovered that the Prospect Point Cafe also opened up a new Lions Gate Bar perched on the cliff overlooking the Lions Gate Bridge. We had a few appies, drinks and then the Wild Salmon Sampler with 5 different salmons strips (Pesto, Ginger/Garlic, simply grilled, teriyaki and maple glazed) and it was divine. Turned out to be the highlight of our park visit. As if that wasn't enough, we then discovered the new Fudge Factory that they recently opened. We sampled many but ended up buying a 1/2 pound of pralines & cream, both our favourites. We shopped a bit in the beautiful store and trading post, bought some ice wine tea, which we ended up drinking that evening (and it was delicious)... and needless to say our walk was over. We got on a double decker bus and rode out of the park, but had a lovely time at Prospect Point. Highly recommended.

The Cafe situated at the world famous Prospect Point Lookout is the perfect place to dine while visiting Stanley Park. The only casual dining place in Stanley Park, the cafe offers terrific westcoast cuisine and very reasonable prices, and a magnificent new Lions Gate Bar and Grill overlooking the Lions Gate Bridge, the North Shore Mountains and the Burrard Inlet. There's a beautiful Trading Post where you can find almost anything including indian carvings, gifts and souvenirs, unique Canadiana gemstones and jewelry, clothing and many other unique artifacts. There is also a carving demonstration where renowned first nations artists carve cedar totem poles, live music and, of course, Prospect Point's World Famous Ice Cream. This place is fantastic and a must-visit for all coming to Vancouver and Stanley Park.
