It's a special day. My husband is having his Oath of Citizenship Ceremony today as the final step in becoming a Canadian citizen. So to celebrate, we decided to have English food for breakfast, French cuisine for lunch, and Indigenous specialty for dinner in honour of the three groups that founded Canada: the aboriginal (First Nations, Inuit, and Metis people), the French, and the British. We also took the day off today, so a break from work.
To end our Canadian Citizenship celebration, we had dinner at the only Indigenous restaurant in Vancouver, Salmon n' Bannock.
They have the friendliest service in all of Vancouver. The service is just top-notch. They explained the menu and just made us comfortable.
We have ordered from Salmon n' Bannock in the past, but only to-go since they are always jam-packed. This time we went there at 5:00 PM without any reservations hoping for the best, and we got seats. Whew!
To start our meal, we had West Coast Salmon Chowder, and it's the best one I have tried in Vancouver. It's close to the best one I've ever had in another Indigenous restaurant in Whistler. Included in our mains is a Signature Bannock served with butter. The Bannock was amazingly warm. I love it. Hmmm.

For our mains, hubby ordered the Bison Pot Roast, which is something we've been wanting, but it's unavailable for takeout. Meanwhile, I had the Sausage Dinner. Before you get upset, we surprisingly tried most items in their Mains menu, and only a few left, so I went for meat.

| Bison Pot Roast Roasted for 24 hours and melts in your mouth. The bison gravy is good enough to drink out of a wine glass. Served with daily vegetables and signature bannock. |
 |
| Sausage Dinner Two links of our rotating game sausage. Always a fresh flavour. Served with daily vegetables, daily potatoes, and Signature bannock. |
Everything was already delicious at this point, but the desserts were a happy surprise. The Lemon Meringue Citrus Cheesecake is mindblowing. I didn't expect it to be that good.
