The Salmon House on the

Hill, 2229 Folkestone Way,

West Vancouver, 926-3212.

A winner since it opened
in 1976 in the upper reaches
of West Vancouver, the
Salmon House continues to
offer a first-class introduction
to Vancouver harbour vistas
and true West Coast cuisine.

Led by executive chef Dan
Atkinson, the restaurant is a
champion of local native cui-
sine, especially the wonders
of salmon — be it smoked,
wind-dried, grilled or other-
wise prepared.

Also boasts the best alder-
grilling kitchen on the North
Shore and beyond. Big noisy
130-seat dining room dressed
in native art and artifacts with
sweeping panoramic views of
the Lower Mainland; adjacent
40-scat lounge features live
piano entertainment. A classic
location for a romantic tipple.
