Arms Reach Bistro – Deep Cove Treasure
Summer can’t come soon enough. I drove up to Deep Cove on the easternmost tip of North Vancouver but, as you can see above, the weather wasn’t very good. My first shot at kayaking will have to wait for a warmer, sunnier day. Thankfully, the short trip was not entirely pointless as I had a nice lunch at Arms Reach Bistro, a charming little restaurant located a stone’s throw away from Deep Cove’s shore.
Inside, the restaurant is refined yet cozy. Despite the poor weather, the restaurant was packed for lunch. Wooden classroom school desks await patrons waiting for a table: cute.
My girlfriend and I shared 2 dishes: Both were presented clean and simple. Both tasted great: fresh, delicate, and tasty. I especially enjoyed the melted handmade bocconcini atop our spaghetti.
The prices are very reasonable and the service was super friendly.
The tasty food complements the great view, and the two combine to create an incredibly relaxed dining experience.
I can’t wait to return and sample other dishes on their menu.
Assuming I don’t drown, the food is going to taste even better after a sunny day of kayaking.




I love Arms Reach Bistro! I’ve reviewed it a couple of times on my blog and it’s always the place of choice when I need to get out of the busy city life. Great post btw
Why the hell don’t you answer your phone. Trying to make a reservation for 5 fpr dinner tomorrow July 3rd at 6.00 p.m.
All I get is recorded message of where you are, etc.
How is it possible to make a reservation if you don’t answer properly?
Sorry Bruce.
The weather has been super nice and we were out canoeing in the cove.
