ABOUT US

THE FOUR YEAR WAIT / We are a group of misfits with the tenacity to wait four years for a really good thing. The Mainstay was built to be the geographic and social anchor of the North Shore waterfront — a dedicated gathering place where local culture and premium hospitality intersect.

UNCOMPLICATED / Situated at the exact centre of the fully licensed food hall inside the Lonsdale Quay Market, we offer an uncomplicated alternative to the standard restaurant model. With 18 independent kitchens surrounding our central bar, for groups, families, and taste explorers or simple-chasers, we provide absolute choice and effortless ease.

DROPPING ANCHOR / Our identity is deeply tied to the maritime heritage of North Vancouver's Shipyards District, operating on the traditional lands of the Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.

Our branding carries the nautical signal flag for the letter M (mike) — traditionally flown to declare: "My vessel is stopped."

We invite you to do the same.
