Shopping and Dining
Prince Rupert features a mix of upscale and casual restaurants and pubs throughout the community and visitors are often surprised by the variety of dining options. There are over 40 restaurants offering everything from pub food to specialty and ethnic cuisine, sushi and vegetarian fare.

No visit is complete without fresh fish, and our seafood is among the best in B.C. You can feast on mouth-watering crab, prawns, shrimp, halibut, rockfish or delicious B.C. salmon. You will be pleased to know that there are shops offering great coffee and tempting desserts for your after dinner stroll.

In Prince Rupert, shops are typically locally owned and operated and feature an eclectic mix of locally, regionally, and nationally produced products, including the works of some of Canada's most prolific local artists.

The Cow Bay Shopping District brings together an assortment of independently owned shops and restaurants that allow visitors to experience a taste of what the local area has to offer. You'll find art and gift galleries, souvenir t-shirt shops, womens’ clothing, First Nations jewelry, and unique furniture. The ocean theme is complete with marine supplies and a fish market. Conveniently located nearby are grocery stores, marine electronics, liquor outlets, fishing supplies, and hardware stores.

In the Historic Downtown Shopping District, as you stroll down the "Main Street", you are greeted by small, independently owned art galleries, craft stores, bookstores, jewelry and clothing stores, florists, and bakeries. You may also benefit from services provided by the photography centre, hair salons, and pharmacy. The small town setting also provides you with dining options including steak houses, Asian, Italian, and West Coast fusion.

When you’re through with shopping and dining, enjoy the entertainment from our pubs and lounges, and for the best views of the evening sunset, our scenic patios can't be beat!
