A couple of years ago, when the idea for WildTale was just beginning to take form, we noticed that for a city so perfectly situated on the ocean’s edge, there weren’t as many great seafood restaurants as one might expect. We set out to help change that and it seems that others had a similar epiphany.

We are very proud and happy that Forbes Travel Guide would choose to include us in its review of all things “seafood and views”.

Wild Tale Coastal Grill is a casual West Coast seafood spot with a killer patio on Mainland Street and a fantastic daily happy hour from 4 to 6 p.m., offering dishes such as lobster poutine and halibut poppers. The menu pays homage to seafood from around the country with PEI mussels and Nova Scotia scallops featuring alongside Lois Lake steelhead and Haida Gwaii sablefish. Daily specials like halibut and hand-cut fries or West Coast seafood paella hover around the $12 mark offering excellent value for money, making it a perfect pick for the end of the month.

Don’t miss: The Sunday night Maritimes-style lobster suppers with five set courses and a one-pound lobster of your very own for just $50.

Carolyn Heller of Forbes Travel Guide has some nice things to say about recently open Vancouver restaurants, including our own WildTale.

“Vancouver had a banner 2015 for restaurant openings as fresh places to eat and drink cropped up all across the city. We’ve got the scoop on the best of these newcomers to put on your Vancouver itinerary for plenty of great eating in 2016.”

WildTale
For a region focused on the sea, Vancouver has surprisingly few straightforward seafood restaurants where you can get great grilled fish with interesting accompaniments. Enter WildTale, a stylish seafooder in Yaletown. Begin your experience with a glass of B.C. wine and something from the raw bar, whether it’s fresh oysters (East Coast, West Coast or fried) or Hawaiian-style ahi tuna poke with avocado and jalapeño. Then see what’s on the fresh-catch menu of simply grilled fish — just the thing for a memorable Pacific Northwest culinary voyage.

BC Living contributor Nikki Bayley has high praise for our Lobster Poutine – referring to it as “Food of the Gods”

Here is more of what she had to say about ours and nine other local offerings that will have you rethinking any detox.

“How much does inner peace cost? Well, at WildTale, $6 at happy hour or $9 (as a special request) at dinner. Small coin indeed to satisfy your soul with a bowl of the Food of the Gods: lobster poutine. Fat chunks of juicy lobster swim happily with crisp Yukon Gold fries in a  rich buttery lobster gravy, and generously anointed with cheese curds and Grano Padano cheese. A single bowl has the power to turn around even the ugliest day.”

The good: simple seafood

 A Homage to the Maritimes

We’re excited to be able to offer our guests a snapshot of the Maritimes right in the heart of Vancouver.  Lobster Suppers are longstanding community traditions in the Maritimes and draw people from far and wide for amazing seafood, great conversation and socializing in a comfortable and casual setting.

Sounds like a perfect thing for Wildtale to celebrate. There will be paper on the table and lobster bibs so don’t worry about making a little mess. Even if you’re not a pro at eating a lobster, we’d be happy to give you some pointers.

This is something very special and close to our hearts and we can’t wait to share the experience with you.

Lobster Supper Menu:

• Classic Seafood Chowder – with freshly baked rolls
• Steamed PEI Mussels – served with butter for dipping
• Farmers Salads – Green salad (with house dressing), Coleslaw and Potato Salad
• Fresh Steamed Lobster (pre order 1 lb. or 1.5 lb. lobster when making a reservation)
• Choice of Chefs’s Dessert –  Freshly Baked Pie, Mixed Berry Shortcake, Chocolate Mousse or Ice Cream

$50 for a 1 lb. Lobster
$60 for a 1.5 lb. Lobster

Make reservations at 604-428-9211 and remember to tell us whether you’d like 1 lb. or 1.5 lb. lobsters for your order.

Dinner starts at 4pm – we look forward to seeing you there.

The impresarios behind the Flying Pig turn their attention to seafood—lots of it.

A poetic circularity brings colleagues John Crook and Erik Heck back to the Yaletown address that houses WildTale. The two chefs/entrepreneurs used to work in its kitchen when it was the original Glowbal Grill, gradually hatching the plan for their own casual restaurant, the Flying Pig. The remarkable success of that venture (three bustling locations and growing) allowed them to procure the space from Emad Yacoub, founder of the Glowbal empire, and in short order they transformed it into this welcoming temple of seafood.
