Don’t be fooled — this isn’t just a hotel restaurant. You don’t have to be a guest at Coast Coal Harbour Vancouver Hotel by APA to dine at Prestons. In fact, just the opposite! The restaurant is designed to be a genuine neighbourhood gathering spot for anyone who works or plays in downtown Vancouver.

The overall vibe is very welcoming, pairing a warm, contemporary space with a seasonal menu. Globally inspired dishes are served alongside familiar favourites, all rooted in local ingredients. Think fresh seafood, homegrown vegetables, and lounge favourites like smash burgers and signature shareables.

A myriad of menus

And that’s just for dinner! The Prestons Restaurant + Lounge breakfast options range from a full buffet to à la carte favourites, while the lunch menu consists of balanced, approachable dishes specifically designed for a chill midday break.

Throw in a drink menu of B.C. wines, local beers, and handcrafted cocktails, and you’ve got something to enjoy at any time of day. Speaking of drinks, you’ll absolutely want to check out Happy Hour, which runs daily from 3 to 5:30 p.m. and from 9 p.m. to close. Charcuterie board, anyone?

In the centre of it all
