C restaurant is a contemporary fish restaurant located downtown under

 the Granville Street Bridge overlooking the waterfront.

First time to C restaurant and was pleasantly surprised. I found the ambience unique and different from other restaurants in the area. Large windows look onto the seawall, false creek and granville island. The furniture and artwork is unique. We dined from the 9-course tasting menu that featured a wide variety of what they offer.

•Wild- and cultivated-mushroom velouté with garlic confit and croutons.

The food was outstanding. I'm a big fan of scallops and they were cooked to perfection so cudos to the chefs. Justin, our waiter did an excellent job at explaining each dish to it's finest details.

•Charred octopus salad with frisée, bacon vinaigrette, and soft boiled egg.

Seared scallop with crushed minted peas, veigi sauce, panchetta, and lemonade foam .

Farmhouse chevre with poached pears, artisan honey, and spiced walnuts.

Cucumber sorbet with pickled ginger and crisp basil.

Dear Ariel and I~

At award-laden C Restaurant, Chef de Cuisine Lee Humphries shines a spotlight on local, sustainable seafood, imbuing fresh catches with innovative culinary flourishes. Diners can perch at the heated waterfront patio, incurring the envy of passing submarine captains with small plates of seared scallops adorned with crushed peas and lemonade foam. The house-smoked salmon benefits from the savoury touch of corn risotto and a green onion relish the seared albacore tuna dons a festive garland of lyonnaise potatoes and zucchini ribbons. Like a game of checkers played with sugar cubes, dinner winds down with sweet-yet-complex courses—farmhouse chevre flanks poached pears and spiced walnuts, and cucumber sorbet sings alongside pickled ginger and crisp basil.

 We got a bit tired at the 3-hour mark and dessert has yet to be served. Dessert finally came out when we commented on the time.
Chocolate brownie with berry chantilly and lemon curd

The brownie was quite rich~

 Thanks for a great evening!
