Anyone remember the Phoenix Restaurant on Hastings? A few doors down from Ovaltine Cafe. Phoenix had the best chow fun (noodle dish) this side of the Rockies. Greasy as hell, but full of awesomeness.
Is The Only Seafood restaurant down and out? I saw that it was closed when I drove by a few weeks ago. I'm hoping it was just the health inspector shutting it down. That place is the place to go for great clam chowder.
Marine View Cafe. The best place for fish and chips. It was on the top floor of the building that existed at the foot of Campbell Avenue. It was the most scenic restaurant in Vancouver. There were dozens of small fish processing plants on the docks. Fishermen would dock their boats and unload fresh shrimp, crabs, grond fish, etc. The view of the North Shore Mountains was incredible. One side of the restaurant, the side facing the pier, was all glass. It was like straight out of the movies. Campbell Avenue dock is no more. Completely torn down. Balyntine Pier on the left and the old sugar refinery on the right is all that is left.
Again, there are probably no pictures of the place. If I could only describe it to an artist as I remember it and have them paint it. I remember every inch of that place, as I worked there for many summers.
