HUGE portion! Delicious! Great value for money! My boyfriend and I ordered two appetizers and two mains, and we couldn't finish our food. For the main dish, I got the halibut with lobster sauce - first of all, the size of the fish was quite big, very fresh and well seasoned too. There was mushroom and shrimps in the lobster sauce. I love the generous amount of veggies they gave you. There was literally HALF a head of broccoli on my plate! My boyfriend got the salmon wellington - again, it was enormous! Everything on the plate was very tasty. The salmon was cooked to perfection and still pink on the inside. I'm usually not a fan of cooked salmon because it's usually dry and fishy to my taste, but this salmon dish was very well done. Not dry at all and super flavorful! It was so big that even my boyfriend couldn't finish it and had to take half home. This place is such a gem! Next time we'll probably just get one or two appetizers and share one main dish. Excited to try their seafood platter, smoked cod and the seafood bouillonbaisse in the future.

What a gem of a place! We are obsessed now. The food and service are stars here. You can tell dishes have been thoughtfully developed and put together by a master, forwarding quality and taste. Yes, the portions are huge, which is surprising given the ingredients. And the flavours! Was expecting the linguine to be watery and mediocre (like at Joe Fortes), but the sauce was fresh, garlicky, rich, perfectly reduced, and delectable. The mashed potatoes are dangerously addictive. We were all very happy with what we ordered. The gentleman who served us is a true professional. It was such a treat to experience his service. Humorous and gracious, he took extra care without a blink splitting a main and preparing our dad’s birthday cake for us. Because we all drove, we opted not to order drinks. Most staff at restaurants at this price point would be annoyed by this and it would show. But not here. The tableware and linens were clean. The decor is dark and vintage, but adds a cozy feel. The bathrooms are humble, but also clean. The room is medium sized and the music is not too loud or trying to force a mood. We went at 5:30 and stayed til about 7/7:30 and it was very pleasant, attentive, and calm throughout. This place is simply about good food and unpretentious service that still makes you feel special and cared for. Makes you reevaluate the quality and service you receive at other restaurants that prioritize form over substance. Here it is very much about substance. Delicious substance over form. Thank you and congratulations to the team. We will be back!!

Downtown prices. Kingsway portions. Very impressed with the professional service but I will come back for the food. Sometimes you need an escape from the trendy dishes and you want a high end classic dish with a huge portion of mashed potatoes and vegetables. I really enjoyed the sablefish, but the highlight for me was my wife’s bouillabaisse. That was legendary. My father also raved about the smoked black cod, a very rare dish in the Vancouver seafood scene. They also get bonus points for offering insanely delicious chicken strips and fries for my 8 year old.

Those of you that remember The Cannery will probably have flashbacks when you visit Pink Peppercorn. While the location lacks the same vibes as the old waterfront location, they do a pretty good job with the food and service. This Kingsway location is a bit cramped but that didn't seem to discourage diners as it was busy when we visited on a week night. Big and filling portions are what you can expect here. That and the lobster infused oil that the Cannery was known for. Really liked the creamy Caesar salad and the lobster bisque was on point. I would pass on the trio of tartare tho. And seriously, the veggies here are huge! Salmon Wellington could easily feed two and we wound up packing a lot of that and the Sablefish to go. Make sure you come hungry.

I have been coming here for their amazing seafood dishes at least a couple of times a year ever since they opened. Massive portions. Delicately cooked seafood. The side vegetables are so good sometimes they become the main attraction. The boss is hands on. All the servers are lovely approachable people who care about your dining experience. Just awesome.
