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 center of B.C.’s first 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, 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 — traditionally flown to declare, "My vessel is stopped." We invite you to do the same.
