Canadian Restaurants in Burnaby, BC

“We booked the restaurant for a half day on a beautiful Sunday for a 40 people Birthday Party. They have a lovely indoor space and an equally amazing patio area. The sound system is high quality. You can play your own music as well. The buffet was delicious as well. Parking is plenty. Overall, a 5/5 experience.“

“I ordered some guacamole to go and when I got home I was surprised to discover a complimentary dessert that was gluten free. The attention to detail (remembering my gluten intolerance) was impressive and made a lasting impression that will be sure to keep me coming back.“

“Alicia was one of the best servers I’ve ever met; she was very friendly and easygoing, so chatting with her was a great delight.“

“Went to the Cactus Club on Marine Drive in Burnaby and had a great night. Laylo was an awesome server super friendly, on point with timing, and made the whole experience even better. Happy hour was solid: the prawn crunch hit the spot, the salmon aburi was fantastic, and the spicy margaritas kept flowing. Honestly, those margaritas were perfect just the right mix of heat and flavor. Great service, good food, and a fun atmosphere. I’d come back in a heartbeat.“

“This was a nice place. I realize they're sort of a chain but i find this and the sister location on Main St. to be pretty consistent and at-times fantastic. This has a similar(-ish) menu, some great options. I wish i had ordered a little more food bc the salmon was good, but a little underwhelming portion-wise. I could have almost eaten a second (maybe i was just that hungry). Service was decently-good. Two small notes i wish the diet coke i ordered had more bubbles 🫧 and also (so random, sorry) but the same few sports commercials on a monday afternoon became a bit distracting. I feel like it would be nicer without the sensory overload.“

“Hosting our wedding at Riverway was definitely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. It is such a beautiful and centrally-located venue. The ceremony space is right by the water and is truly so stunning in the summer. The indoor reception space is large with wooden beams and natural lighting, which meant we didn’t have to invest in as much décor as well as it was already naturally beautiful. Bradley is such an incredibly kind and patient person – we had so many questions in the months leading up to the wedding, and he answered all of them in such a timely and thoughtful manner. He was so helpful for our rehearsal as well and he even checked in with us in-person on the day of, to congratulate us and to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. We feel so lucky that we worked with Bradley for the wedding – even though he must deal with so many couples, he definitely made us feel cared for and was a big reason for why we were so happy with our venue choice.

Additionally, because the venue is owned by the City of Burnaby, we really appreciated that there were no hidden fees that we had to account for such as administrative fees, taxes, or service charges. The bartending and event staff were also very attentive and kind, and the buffet line ran very efficiently despite that we had 200+ guests. We got so many compliments from our family and friends on how beautiful the wedding was and most importantly, how delicious the buffet was (in particular, the mashed potatoes, striploin, and sticky toffee pudding). We feel so lucky that we were able to snag a spot in the summer for our wedding at Riverway – it is definitely one of the best venues in Metro Vancouver and we would highly recommend it to any couple!

“that was honestly one of the tastiest breakfasts I've ever had .. the pulled pork benny was delicious!!“

“For our recent staff meeting, we ordered our meals from the Market Crossing location. Mark took our order when I called in. He was very patient. We had a lot meals and he took the time to ensure everything was correct. Our order was ready for the exact time we requested and every meal was correct. Thanks Mark for taking the extra time .“

“Word got out that my birthday had happened very recently, and the staff were so gracious. They even gathered together, and came out to sing happy birthday to me!, With a piece of strawberry cheesecake that had a candle in it!

Thank you to Cristian, and all of the staff.. It meant a lot to me.“

“I normally have a great experience but this time it was a bit off. My water glass was filthy, I asked for a new one which was also filthy so I didn’t bother to drink water. Both our potatoes were burnt and then my friend was charged an extra THREE dollars for a tiny bit of hollandaise sauce for her eggs bene. That’s a bit ridiculous.“
