Waterfront Restaurant

Waterfront Restaurant

“Dining with the Eagles at the Waterfront Restaurant is one of the Top 100 things to do in BC before you die.”

Experience the Waterfront

Prince Rupert’s dining scene is defined by its proximity to the source. Coastal and woodland ingredients, fresh from the surrounding landscape, inform a menu that is attentive to place and season.

At the Crest Waterfront Restaurant & Lounge, the harbour is visible from every seat. On the deck, bald eagles circle above the roofline and fishing boats move through the inlet below — a dining backdrop that is entirely distinct and entirely this city’s own.

Savour the Sea

North Coast cuisine favours a tide-to-table approach, and the Crest Waterfront is no different. Fishing boats move through the harbour while you dine — what arrives on your plate reflects exactly where you are.

The harbour frames every table. The food does the rest.

  • This was such an incredible meal, the drinks were delicious and the appetizers were top notch. The meals themselves were honestly some of the best eat out meals we have ever had.

  • What a wonderful restaurant! Amazing views of Prince Rupert harbour to accompany the incredible food. We were so impressed by the place that we went back for a second time at the end of our stay in Prince Rupert – the photos are from our two visits.

  • Service was outstanding, especially for such a small town. Beautiful view. Food was perfectly seasoned and arrived hot. The table behind us had many special requests anf the server was so willing to accommodate. Thank you so much for a lovely meal. We will be back tomorrow.
