Five Sails Restaurant

Five Sails is a refined dining restaurant at Canada Place, inside the Pan Pacific Hotel, with a setting that looks across Vancouver’s harbour toward the mountains. The restaurant’s approach centres on Pacific Northwest cuisine, drawing from British Columbia’s coastal waters, farmland, forests and seasonal produce. The atmosphere is polished and formal enough for celebrations, private dinners and other occasions that call for attentive service and an elegant setting.

The menu connects contemporary Canadian cooking with Korean culinary traditions. Familiar Korean ingredients and preparations, including doenjang, gochujang, yuja, nuruk, jangajji and kimchi, are used alongside regional seafood, local fish, Fraser Valley poultry and eggs, mushrooms and vegetables. The result is a modern interpretation of Korean culinary identity shaped by the landscape of the Pacific Northwest.

Seafood has a natural place in the restaurant’s cooking, with the surrounding waters providing ingredients such as shrimp, oysters, mussels and crab. Land-based produce also plays an important role, reflecting a broader focus on seasonal Canadian ingredients rather than a single style of dish. The cooking is suited to diners interested in a carefully presented meal with a distinct regional perspective and Korean influence.

Five Sails offers both a dinner menu and a tasting menu, giving diners different ways to experience the kitchen’s approach. The tasting format suits occasions where the meal itself is the focus, while the dinner menu offers a more flexible choice. Cocktails are also part of the restaurant’s offering.

With harbour and mountain views, a formal dining room and event facilities, the restaurant works well for milestone meals, intimate celebrations, business dinners and private functions. Private dinners and larger celebrations can be planned through the restaurant’s events team. The Canada Place location also places the restaurant within one of the city’s major waterfront destinations, while the hotel setting adds a composed, occasion-oriented character.
