Between trailheads, tide changes, rock faces and fat-tire challenges, your body needs fuel to explore the Sea to Sky. But rather than grabbing a granola bar, build your entire day around high-quality bites. Eating well in Squamish isn’t a luxury — it’s practically a sport. From the brunch you linger over to the dinner and drinks you think about halfway up your next climb, this town knows how to dine in style.
Consider this your Edible itinerary: a tasting tour with just enough walking or biking between stops to justify it all. We’ve mixed beloved local staples with a few under-the-radar gems, thoughtfully mapped out for maximum enjoyment and strategic appetite-building.
Hungry yet? Good! Pace yourself — or don’t.
Brunch in Brackendale
- Americano coffee and avocado halloumi toast from Zephyr Café at The BAG. Salty, creamy and perfectly piled at a cool, historic art gallery.
- Crabapple Caesar at the funky Crabapple Café. Of course!
- Baked brie at the Watershed Grill, overlooking the Squamish River. Eagle-spotting at no extra charge.
- Handmade fennel pork sausage at Hop Creek Farms’ food trailer. Juicy, herby, straight from the source.
Post-Hike Lunch in Garibaldi
- Sake and agedashi tofu from Sushi Sen. Mmmmmm.
- Salmon burger from Locavore. A wild sockeye fillet stacked with local flavour.
- Raspberry ice cream from Alice & Brohm. Non-negotiable, especially with its locally sourced berries.
Downtown for Dinner
- Mushroom Trilogy from The Broken Seal. Sit outside for a great view of The Chief across the water.
- Marinated sablefish from The Salted Vine. Melt-in-your-mouth divine.
- Pistachio baklava from Saha Eatery. Sticky, nutty sweetness. Just indulgent enough.
Party on Government Road
- Kangaroo Lake Southern IPA from A-Frame Brewing and a Hot Mess burger with organic B.C. beef, pickled jalapeños and spicy aioli from Flipside Burgers (A-Frame’s food-truck partner).
- Trailbreaker Pale Ale and The G.O.A.T., a bacon jam and goat cheese pizza, from Backcountry Brewing. Follow your bliss.
