Briggs

Briggs has taken over the previous Cannery Row space on 10^th Avenue and 3^rd street SW. Never having been to Cannery Row I can’t speak to what improvements have been made, but the current space is a modern industrial tribute. Bare bulbs hang over the tables and the unfinished ceiling is snaked with black piping. The lounge is situated along the front wall of windows, bright and welcoming. The restaurant has an open kitchen concept where one can get a good look at the Josper ovens, the restaurant’s signature piece. Briggs is only the second restaurant in Canada to use this unique oven. Fueled by coal, they produce high temperatures and infuse the food with delicious smoky flavours. Briggs encourages the family style of dining, and we ordered several dishes off the shared plates section.
