Coast to table,
tide by tide.

A candlelit room where the menu follows the season, the boats, and the morning's catch — wild, local, and quietly extraordinary.

Our Story

We cook to the rhythm of the water.

Cedar & Tide began with a simple promise: that the best meal in Vancouver should taste like the coast it comes from. Each morning our chefs meet the boats at False Creek, walk the stalls at Granville Island, and trade with the same farmers, divers, and foragers we've known for a decade.

The tide chart hangs in our kitchen for a reason. When the water pulls back, we harvest sea asparagus and gooseneck barnacles from the rocks. When it returns, the spot prawns run and the menu simply changes. Nothing travels far. Nothing waits long. What lands on your table this evening was very likely swimming, growing, or foraging this morning.

Reservations

Hold your table by candlelight.

We seat in two services each evening. The bar welcomes walk-ins, but the dining room books quickly on weekends — we recommend reserving a week ahead for parties of four or more.

Choose an evening, your party, and a time. We'll do the rest.

The Kitchen

Chef Maren Halloway

Raised on Lasqueti Island and trained between Copenhagen and the kitchens of the Sunshine Coast, Maren cooks the way she grew up eating — close to the water, generous, and unhurried. After a decade leading celebrated kitchens abroad, she came home to open Cedar & Tide in 2019.

"I'm not trying to reinvent the coast," she says. "I'm trying to get out of its way." Her kitchen is run as a true co-op: every cook reads the tide chart, every dishwasher tastes the menu, and the day's best ingredient writes the night's best dish.

— Maren Halloway, Executive Chef & Owner

The Tide Letter

First to know when the menu turns.

A short note each season — new dishes, the night we open the cellar, and the rare evenings a table opens up. No noise, just the tide.
