Happy (almost) Canada Day! This year we have decided to celebrate the non-working day by having dinner from Vancouver's only Indigenous-owned and operated restaurant, Salmon 'n' Bannock.
They have a different menu for dine-in and to-go customers. As such, more delicious-looking items can only be ordered if you're dining in.
Tip 1: Come early
They open daily at 3:00 PM. We went there at around 6:30, and they're busy! All the tables are occupied. Moreover, there are even people outside waiting for their to-go orders.
We wanted many things from their to-go menu, like the Open-Faced Bison Sandwich and Signature Bannock with House Chili. Both are sold out.
Tip 2: Go for Salmon in a Bannock

Since a couple items we want are no longer available, we end up with Urban Smoked Salmon Burger with Coleslaw and Pow Wow Power Salad. Both are delicious, but I'll order the salmon burger again. Because of the excellent experience with bannock as a bun, I can't wait to try their Bannockwiches.

| Urban Smoked Salmon Burger with Coleslaw Menu Description: Our Signature Bannock Burger is made with a 4 oz of Sage Smoked Wild Sockeye Salmon. Made with Lemon Aioli and House Made Pickles. |
The Bannock is buttery and chewy which is the perfect complement to the sweet and soft salmon. The fresh vegetables add crunch and juiciness. Lastly, it was served with sweet potato fries and the seasoning they used here is delicious - not just salt.

| Pow Wow Power Salad Menu Description: We put the Pow in Power! A sensational blend of delicious grains including Ojibway Wild Rice, Cucumbers, Radishes, Cherry Tomatoes, Organic Greens and Arugula. Served with a rotating dressing and topped with 4 oz of Wild Sockeye Salmon |
If you check my blog, I don't generally order a salad, but this is great! There were strawberries that provide tartness, cucumber for freshness, there were beets too. What we couldn't figure out is where the spice is coming from. There's something spicy in this, and we couldn't point our figure which one is it.
