Set just outside the aquarium during the summer season. This bistro has awesome food! Grab your food, then find a nice spot to enjoy the ambiance of the park before you go into the aquarium. They also offer a picnic deal for 2 or 4 people. You can take your food into Stanley Park and enjoy with friends, partners, and or family.

Ocean wise cafe is now located downstairs, outside. I have ordered a few times here and everything is very tasty, Surprisingly! The mains and burgers are made when ordered so everything is hot and crispy. Portions were large. I recommend this after a visit to the aquarium. Give it a try!

We only feed our guests sustainable seafood to ensure that our seafood is harvested in a method that ensures limited bycatch on non-target and endangered species, and that populations are abundant and resilient

I have NO idea where any bad reviews are coming from. We had literally everything on the menu, and everyone was happy. The fish tacos were excellent and the spicy boneless chicken wings were fantastic.
