Seaside Provisions recently opened inside the Seaside Hotel, a boutique hotel in the Shipyard District in North Vancouver. It’s a great addition to the North Vancouver area and it gives more options to visitors and locals who want a taste of the best the sea can offer.
Interior
The design of Seaside Provisions blurs the lines between restaurant, bar, and lounge. These clusters of space divides up the room to give customers different experiences.
There’s the bar area, counter by kitchen to watch the Chefs prepare food, centre space is for casual dining and is a little more fun and lively. Beside the lounge space with sofas is a more intimate dining space and finally in the back, there is a semi-private space.
This creates a holistic dining experience in a style-infused place featuring locally sourced coastal tapas and bespoke cocktails in a space filled with curated art and photography.
Menu
Their menu changes every week with some staples on the menu that may remain the same. Prices are pretty good for the location and food quality.
Tropical Fizz
This zero-proof cocktail has fresh strawberries, orange, sparkling apple juice and passion fruit nectar. It was really delicious and a great option for those who want a nice drink without the alcohol.
Berry Smash
Another zero-proof cocktail is the berry smash. It has muddled fresh berries, raspberry purée mint, lime, and topped with soda. It’s very light, refreshing and not too sweet.
Complimentary chips and bread
We were served a plate of veggie chips and bread to start. Those veggie chips were so good!
Jamón Ibérico
This ham is paired with parmesan, olives, olive oil, and cipollini onion. Love how they use cured ham from Spain. It has a great ratio of fat and meat, so its really delicious and not too salty.
Burrata
The burrata is served with white anchovy, chive oil, and tomato. It was delicious and we liked the pairing with the crisp. The anchovy is strong in taste, so it can take away from the delicate Burrata.
Crispy Potato
The crispy potato is paired with a smoked garlic and spicy tomato sauce. The plating doesn’t do it justice but it was delicious. The potatoes are smashed and then deep-fried, so it is nice and crispy.
Freshly Shucked Oysters
Of course you want to taste some fresh Oysters right from the sea. It is paired with ponzu, meyer lemon, chili oil, and lemon. We love the dropper bottles as you can control how much goes onto your oysters.
Wagyu Beef
The wagyu is cooked well and it was nice and tender. It was quite lean and not a lot of marbling.
Humboldt Squid
The Humboldt Squid is paired with chermoula, quinoa tabbouleh, tahini, and chili oil. It was one of our favourite dishes. It’s super tender in texture and was well enjoyed.
Dessert
When we were dining here, they didn’t have a set dessert menu yet, so the Chef made us this frozen chocolate bar with fresh strawberries. The frozen chocolate and the fresh Strawberries were a great pairing. It was well balanced with the sweet and tart.
Final Thoughts
Overall, it was a good dining experience at Seaside Provisions. Its tapas style, so the dishes are meant to be shared among the table. I can see it as a great spot for drinks and some nibbles after work.
