Steveston Boardwalk Restaurants — Where the Village Eats

The boardwalk runs along the Fraser River past the Gulf of Georgia Cannery and Fisherman's Wharf, but the eating happens one block inland on No 1 Road. Vogue Cafe sits at 12251 No 1 Rd #130, a heritage-style storefront with a gable roofline, string lights, and "FRENCH BISTRO" painted across the front. You'll smell the onion soup before you read the menu posted in the window.

What the boardwalk actually looks like at meal times

Morning light hits the covered side patio first — red-checkered tablecloths, greenery walls, a dog bowl by the door. By brunch the bar-height tables out front fill with coffee and croissants. Lunch brings baguette sandwiches and beer flights. Dinner is the chef signatures: beef bourguignon, navarin d'agneau, creamy mushroom chicken, ratatouille with three-colour rice, each $29. The room stays warm — deep-red walls, wood tables, small bar — and the liquor licence runs until midnight for private bookings.

Dishes that travel well from kitchen to patio

A croque madame ($17) holds its béchamel in the breeze. The buckwheat galettes ($17) — thin, nutty, crisp at the edges — come with fillings like ham-cheese-egg or mushroom-spinach-egg. French onion soup à l'ancienne ($17) arrives in a crock with a proper cheese crust over marrow-bone broth. Sweet crêpes ($14) run from sugar-lemon to Suzette with Grand Marnier. Desserts are made in-house: caramel chocolate tart, strawberry tart, lemon tart, éclairs ($10).

Drinks that match the village pace

Espresso bar opens at 10:30am — espresso $4, latte $6, iced versions the same. Wine by the glass: Côtes du Rhône, Mouton Cadet Bordeaux, BC Viognier, Gamay, sparkling Back Forty (6oz $11, 9oz $15, bottle $45). Kronenbourg 1664 on tap ($9) plus Barnside Brewing rotations from Delta — hazy IPA, pilsner, amber, Dutch red.
