Fanny Bay Oyster Bar is set to fully open on Cambie Street later this week. The restaurant and market have undergone renovations and are now twice as large. The space is clean and ready to go, with temporary chairs. The employees are excited to be back, with one staff member expressing their longing for shucking oysters. The restaurant took over the neighboring hair salon last year.
Fanny Bay Oyster Bar will be fully open on Cambie later this week, but we're not being shellfish with our first-look pics.yesterday, I assumed I’d be faced with the classic chaos that comes right before a reopening—dusty floors, tables askew, some guy walking around wondering where he put his damn screwdriver. And I wouldn’t have blamed them—the restaurant and market shuttered its doors less than a month ago, and everyone knows that renovations always take longer than anticipated.
But the now twice-as-large Fanny Bay is squeaky clean—owner Malindi Taylor says the chairs are temporary, but otherwise the space is ready to go. So too are the employees: I snuck in for a peek during a little staff wine seminar, and when Taylor prepared some fresh oysters for me one staff walked by and wistfully remarked, “I miss shucking.”
Technically, only one half of the space is “new”—the restaurant took over ownership of the hair salon next door late last year. The wall between the two properties is no more, so Fanny Bay is now flooded with natural light and has lots of extra seating .) hints at the restaurant’s fun, accessible vibe—chef Tommy Shorthouse admits that seafood, particularly oysters, can be an intimidating cuisine to get into, and is set on making his menu as exciting, intriguing and approachable as possible.
