The food and service is great. My husband and I shared the chicken parmigiana and pasta with spicy vodka tomato sauce, really great. This is the second time I’ve had the chicken parmigiana, definitely a share dish. Also had a happy hour transfusion (vodka, grape juice, ginger) so yummy!

If you’re in Vancouver and love fresh, beautifully prepared dishes, Oddfish is an absolute must-visit! This restaurant offers a seasonal menu where the freshness of the ingredients — especially fish and vegetables — takes center stage. The service is exceptional, with a friendly and knowledgeable staff that enhances the whole experience. Make sure you try the ceviche, which is simply divine, and the salmon with its perfectly crispy skin, a true masterpiece of flavor and texture. Both dishes showcase how fresh ingredients can shine when skillfully crafted. With its relaxed atmosphere and a touch of creativity in the menu, Oddfish is the perfect spot for casual dinners or special occasions. Don’t miss the chance to discover this gem in Vancouver!
