Salmon n' Bannock

Salmon n' Bannock[a] is a restaurant in the Fairview neighbourhood in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, situated on the Broadway thoroughfare.

[7] The interior of the Broadway location is primarily red and black in colour, with a painted canoe suspended from the restaurant's ceiling[8][2] and artwork by patrons on the walls,[9][10][6][3] which is available for purchase.

[13] Bison and venison is provided to the restaurant by Hills Foods Limited, but due to the restrictions on the sale of wild game, moose meat is not sold.

[17] Meat served at the restaurant include bison, boar, caribou, elk, musk ox, oolichan, and salmon.

[20] In addition, the restaurant was established to provide a gathering place for local Indigenous communities with a focus on people and food.

[26] Reception to Salmon n' Bannock's cuisine has been generally positive, with Inez Cook remarking "we've been in The New York Times, The Guardian, San Francisco Chronicle, Der Spiegel, inflight magazines, Japanese magazines, been on Trip Advisor's [sic] Vancouver Top 10 list for six years, and PBS's Samantha Brown's Places to Love.

[43] Salmon n' Bannock was among the 150 restaurants chosen by author Gabby Peyton to represent Canada's culinary history in her 2023 book Where We Ate.

[8] Mia Stainsby's review for the Vancouver Sun was more critical with regards to the offerings, stating that "the sides could use a makeover" in order for it to "raise it from homestyle cooking", but that "there was much to enjoy" from the starter dishes.

[9] Zoe Tennant in Canadian Culinary Imaginations compares Salmon n' Bannock to the nearby restaurant Forage in a discussion regarding the silence within locavore culture with regards to Indigenous cuisine.

[31][20] Mary Point, who served as Indigenous Relations Director at YVR Airport, accepted the award on behalf of Cook.

[31] During The Georgia Straight's 25th Golden Plates award, Salmon n' Bannock was voted the best Indigenous restaurant by readers.
