I love this place. It's in a beautiful area with lovely views and I very much enjoy that it feels removed from Vancouver. There's something about this place that makes me feel relaxed and that helps to enjoy the food! I've not been for awhile but I remember sitting on the patio one evening and it was chilly but there were blankets on every chair. It's been awhile since I've been out here so I don remember all to much about the service and the food except that they were both pleasant experiences and I left Arms Reach very satisfied. Would definitely recommend.
This place has one of the best eggs benedict I have ever had. It's in a rather unforgiving and inconvenient location, especially if you live in the GVRD area, but it's worth the trip. This is probably the most upscale brunch place that I have ever been to without having a dress code. Not to mention that the ambiance and service is really great but everything on the menu is fantastic.
Such a lovely restaurant. Had a great birthday dinner here with my girlfriend. The atmosphere, service, views all of that we're perfect. There is a great selection of dishes to choose from and the food was wonderful. It was busy on a non sunny weekday in deep cove.. It must be good
Back in late June, we decided to take a hike up to the very popular (read: busy) Quarry Rock in Deep Cove. We generally don’t visit Deep Cove much due to the difficulties finding parking in the area. After almost getting lost, we finally made our way to the top of Quarry Rock and then back down into Deep Cove and realized that we were starving for some good food. We headed over to the Arms Reach Bistro which is just a short jaunt away from the water.

Great drinks and appetizers. I had the pimms punch and it was great. We ordered the charcuterie board and the calamari and they were really good. Each of us ordered a pasta dish for dinner, and we all really enjoyed it. Great device and atmosphere.

Dinner with friends. We made reservations for a table of 4 for 8pm...the only time left...we were greeted nicely, with sincere warmth and smiles, while taken to a very nice corner, view window...my guest's had been there before and enjoyed the food and service...our server, was very professional, informative and friendly...very nice room, with simple elegant touches, nice lighting, good music...my wife and ordered the Calamari to share to start, excellent, cooked perfectly, nicely presented and a generous portion as well...so often many restaurants miss the mark entirely on Calamari...but this was excellent! We ordered a bottle of wine, and the year we wanted wasn't available, so they upgraded us to a better year for the same price...which was $33! Outstanding move, nice wine...my wife a Mussels, with a heaping portion of fires, also served by the house freshly cooked bread, not seen very much these days, which always helps for soaking up the leftover mussel sauce! My friends ordered the Tenderloin, cooked to perfection, and the Ling Cod, both dishes beautifully presented once again, Lind Cod was slightly sad...I have the Linguini Pestatore, mixed seafood, that was cooked a dente and very tasty! All in all, the front of the house was a fines toned machine, great evening, we will be back as Deep Cove is such a lovely location.
Commence the food coma.... Nothing over the top, but everything was executed very well.
Calamari was different than what I've become accustomed to as it was *very* lightly battered and served with a side of spicy marinara. I personally would've liked it with some fresh tzatziki instead of the marinara, but it was still on point.
Crab cakes were delicious. Perfect crisp all around the cake with a smooth center, nice and hot all the way through. Would definitely order these again.
Spicy spaghetti was om nom nom. Huge portion. Even my fat ass couldn't finish it, so I took it home for "tomorrow". It didn't make it past midnight.
Creme brulee was great. Nothing crazy, definitely on point and had excellent presentation with the elevated goose berry.
Our server was a great happy person that made the feast that much more enjoyable.
Would return again. Next time I'll wear my wife's jeggings so I can expand in comfort.
Baked Spaghetti. This is my go to dish at Arm's Reach. Not recommended by my cardiologist. .but what the hell...it's great!
Great Meal and service
Needs better lighting
Arm's Reach Bistro. Our evening was very relaxing with good food, good wine and good service starting right at the door with a nice welcome. Everyone's food was nicely presented and delicious.
Great food, service and ambience. We had a lovely dinner. Very professional service. The wine selection is terrific and the menu offers a wide variety. Our table had a beautiful view of the water. One of North Vancouver's best restaurants.
Recommend highly. Location, food and service: excellent!
Arms Reach Bistro. Everything was amazing. I took a visitor from England and the service was outstanding.
Excellent. Food great, service friendly, wine tasty, best friends for company? What more could one ask?

My favorite place on the north shore by far! Dinner, lunch or brunch.. This is the place.
Great Food. Great place to dine, the food was excellent.
Great staff.
Great view of Deep Cove from the patio.
We live five minures away, we will return!!!
Yup. Went here for our first honeymoon dinner, and it was excellent. If you can find a place to park, and eventually make your way into the restaurant, you will enjoy it. Had the seafood linguini because almost everyone in the restaurant had it in front of them when we walked in. It did not disappoint. But seriously...it took 15 minutes to find a parking spot on a Wednesday.
Wow. Soooo good. Great staff. Loved the scallops I had. So very very good.
Amazing friendly service, consistently delicious food and a warm, cozy atmosphere right near the water. I have been going there about once a month for the past 6 years and am never disappointed. My fav dishes are the beef tenderloin, Arms Reach spaghetti and coconut lime mussels.
Sensational. Absolutely amazing food and experience. Nestled in Deep Cove, it has great ambiance, and some of the best food I have had - from appys to dessert - in a long time. Highly, highly recommend it!!! Great job, guys!
Great food!!. Ate on the patio - loved that they provide blankets for when it is chilly out. The food was fantastic and so was the service. Great pear salad. I had the curried butter chicken - delicous. Definately recommended
Love the baked spaghetti, but sad they got rid of the baked Brie appy :( love the location and everything this place has to offer.
This place is reliably amazing.
Always good. Great appetizers and dinners for all 6 of us. With the exception of the chowder which was too salty but quickly whisked away by a most accommodating server, and replaced with a perfect salad. The salmon was excellent!!
Hubby knocked over a full wine glass during an animated story (woops) and the whole thing was cleaned up, and a new glass of the lovely nectar appeared out of nowhere. A favorite for sure.
Delicious lunch. Tender calamari, not too spicy butter chicken, and light and fresh chicken penne. Great service; beautiful location. Top marks.

Nice view, great wines. Arms Reach has a great setting, with a nice view over Deep Cove. We were lucky to dine there in the depth of winter, because I can see how it would be jammed in better seasons. Service was good, but my wife and I were practically the only ones there for a 3 p.m. lunch, so there was no excuse not to be attentive.
My mussels in green curry sauce were decent. HUGE shellfish, adequate but not overwhelming portion size, and the sauce had a bit of a burn-bite compared to other versions of mussels/curry I've had elsewhere. I liked that. It's rare to see duck prosciutto on a menu -- we still flash back to a great iteration on this we had at our favourite restaurant outside Venice, Italy -- so my wife ordered it. This had a good smokey flavour, no inedible bits of fat, and nice maroon colour. It was kinda pricey at $12 with a salad, but it's not cheap to cure duck.
What impressed me most about Arms Reach was the wine list. For a smallish place, it has some big-name bottles from all over the world. I saw drops from high-class vineyards that I know from Australia, France, Italy and California. I'm lusting for one of their 2004 Tiganellos (a "super-Tuscan") by Antinori. I missed Arms Reach's 50% off offer that ended in December, though, so I'll have to wait for the next time it comes around before I plump for this $191 bottle.
The food is very good. Me, my Uncle, and my Mom all enjoyed our meals. Service was nothing extrordinary but it was fine. A bit too loud.
Always good for lunch or dinner. Nice patio, great view
We were so hungry when we reached Deep Cove so we decided to give Arms Reach Bistro a try.

Arm’s Reach Bistro is definitely a secret gem in North Vancouver. Everything from their lovely view, warm interior, attentive service, and of course their memorable dishes, give me every reason to go back. The prices were also rather reasonable. I’ve only been twice, but I see myself eating here again very soon!
Judging on the quality of food we had this evening, I would definitely come back and I think this will make a great brunch/lunch spot in the summer.
Just a short drive north along the beautiful evergreens, is the sleeply little enclave of “Deep Cove”. Overlooking a fiord bay filled with sailboats and sea kayakers is the Arms Reach Bistro. Well worth the drive for lunch. Ask for a table over looking th
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
This is a wonderful little restaurant by the dock. We were seated with a wonderful view of the mountains and water. They offered friendly and efficient service, overall we had a very comfortable stay.
We had the spicy spaghetti and burger. Both entrees went above and beyond my expectations. 10/10 would go again.
The only red flag is that they didn’t mention that the fountain drinks were not refillable and we were charged $16 for iced tea. 🤪
Our server was very nice and the ambiance of the place is just amazing, overlooking the ocean and nature. My friends and I did think that the pasta were too dry but the serving was pretty big for $22. Our favorite was the R.B.C. it was the perfect mix of flavors. Definitely going back again in the summer.
Neat little restaurant in Deep Cove with a very nice patio with a view. Friendly service with some very prompt water refilling which was appreciated on a hot summer day. Their portions especially for the pasta was quite generous, we couldn't even finish it! The baked spaghetti was very homey and full of thick meat & sauce which I enjoyed whereas the burger was ok but could've been a bit juicier. It gets quite popular given there aren't that many restaurants around so make a reservation online if you can!
Food was great. Actually, the fries are soooo good. We did not expect their food are that great. Pasta was a little salty, but it depends on people. Steak was also amazing, but a bit over cooked, but we did not return them because it was full of people in the dining and it was super difficult to call servers. 🥲 Overall, great experience!
The best view with a meal in Deep Cove! The patio was splendid, and there were even blankets provided if the breeze felt chilly. We thoroughly enjoyed our food, and I actually really loved the fries & garlic aioli. By the way, it's more expensive than average, so keep that in mind; I thought of it as a special occasion to justify the cost.
Amazing location with stunning million dollar view.
Food is only okay and a bit overpriced but the service is 5 star!
Staff are super friendly and accommodating.
Nothing but compliments to the staff and the amazing service they provided. The customer interaction was very genuine and the food was delicious! Great selections and atmosphere! Thoroughly enjoyed the Baked Spaghetti & Creme Brulee

I went to Deep Cove to spend some time with my bf and we decided to have lunch at the bistro.
I had the BC organic beef burger with a side of salad and garlic aioli and ketchup dressings. The burger was so good, I loved the beef patty because it was well made, not salty at all but well seasoned with cheese on top. My salad was not the best compared to others that I have tried at different places. The dressing was good because it had this lemon flavor and not salty but it can be improved with more seasons so it tastes different.
My bf had the curry chicken which was surprisingly tasty, not salty, the sauce was fresh, the chicken was very soft, it had these cummin or oregano spices (I don't know which ones) but they gave the sauce one of the best flavors I have ever smelled and tried. The rice, once mixed with the sauce was done, the dish would still taste really savory and fresh. And it came with this naan garlic with butter and salt. All of his dish was amazing, tasty and delicious (next time I will have that one). And he also had the spicy margarita that he mentioned could be improved too.
This place is not cheap but it has a pretty view towards the sea to enjoy while eating.
So, this place is great to go with family, with your partner or just to hang out with your friends. I would say some flavors can be improved but I'm still giving it the 5-star review.
