Ah yes. The good ol airport. Vast majority of people lined up at fast food places, ready for the inevitable flight where they feel disgusting the entire time. Sure it’s like 5 cheaper, but what’s 5? We’re in the damn airport . I thought I would give this place a try as it is actually fairly healthy for what you get. There’s overnight oats, yogurt and granola, big salads. I got the Elk Burger and I got gluten free buns as well. They actually tasted surprisingly good. Could hardly tell they were gluten free. Didn’t have that chalky texture and the burger itself was nice and soft too. Usually elk has a much tougher gamey texture. The aioli was a nice touch as well. I’m just like everyone else. I hate spending more money at the airport too, but don’t let slightly higher prices deter you. You may as well pay a slightly higher price to not feel like you drank a cup of canola oil at some fast food place. Give it a try. I might have to give the west broadway location a try soon as well. Thanks again for serving healthy food!
After staying in Vancouver for 2 weeks and experiencing all it has to offer in terms of great places to eat, I didn't expect to be adding to the list a place at the airport! But that's what I got - an Indigenous-owned fast food joint where you can get really interesting food. I had the Elk burger and enjoyed it so much I went back and got the Pulled Bison burger. Both were absolutely delicious with juicy meat, nice bread and salad. Another bonus, for someone who is slightly gluten intolerant, is that they offer gluten free bread as an option and yet it still tastes good. The lady at the counter was super friendly too. You owe it to yourself to eat at the Salmon & Bannock if you're at Vancouver airport. I can't imagine why the adjacent Church's Texas Chicken or A&W chain stores get more custom than the Salmon & Bannock diner, although this is another reason to visit, as your queue time will be a lot shorter.
One of the best gluten free breads I’ve had in a while. It’s like a slightly denser, nuttier flavor than a buttermilk biscuit would have. Very filling but not overly so. I didn’t try a sandwich although the salmon one looked so good, they were a bit pricey for my budget right now. Just the bread with butter and jam was perfect. Safety: they said they use different starches to substitute the flour and have a designated cooking space for the GF breads. The potential cross contamination comes from the shared kitchen where they prep things which is why it’s referred to as gluten friendly. I have celiac disease and am being moderately careful (traveling internationally is hard), if you’re being 100% careful you may react but I feel okay.
Just had the wild salmon burger and have to be honest… wild caught salmon what a beautiful taste..!! You’ll pay a bit more than the processed airport takeaways but your getting great fresh food indigenous style.
The food was great, with nice selections of local canned beer. The staff were very kind, too! Great experience while waiting for my flight.
A very welcome site at gate D at Vancouver international Airport, international departures.. marvelled at the fresh baked gluten-free bread choices and dairy free parfait as well as regular bought some candied salmon salad and the delicious parfait. It was still fresh and wonderful four hours into the flight. I felt very nourished and had to share.
My flight got delayed and I had lots of time to spend so I decided to find something to eat. The staff were super nice and gave great tips and description for the food available, and recommendations were great! Had the BBQ Salmon Bannockwich Sandwich and it was tasty! Salmon salad mix was paired with t fresh tomato and salad leaves, but the bread was warm and soft so the combo made it more delicious! Such a great and filling meal before a long flight! Very tempted to try the Bison sandwich as well!
Food was excellent; got the Classic Bestwhich…very flavorful. Staff was extremely nice and helpful. Highly recommend!!! Heart Berry soda was great too; honored to support women/Indigenous- run businesses!
