Canadian Restaurants near New Westminster, BC

“Delicious breakfast - eggs with Bavarian sausage, yummy hash browns, and toast - topped up with decaf coffee. Service was fast and staff very friendly and attentive. On the corner of 7th and 12th in New Westminster with large bright windows.“

“Good happy hour deals and great place to watch sports, especially UFC“

“I’ve been far and wide, coast to coast, and for the West Coast this is hands down the best poutine you can find. The fries are golden, crispy, and homemade — straight cut with just the right thickness. The cheese curds? Easily the best I’ve ever had anywhere west of Quebec. The steamy dog all dressed is a true classic, and hard to come by out here, but this is the place to get it if you’ve been craving that authentic bite. Bravo. I’ll definitely be back. 10/10.“

“Food was delicious. Came in got seated right away. Got my food in less than 15 minutes which is insanely fast. Definitely coming back here more often“

“Amazing authentic Chinese food

10pc spicy dumpling soup for $10

The owner is so kind. It is empty usually because it is a little hidden. On the corner of 12th street and 5th Avenue. Where the golphi’s sign is.“

“I like the customer service, very friendly staff.“

“Service and welcoming personality of all staff. Such a warm vibe!
Special mention to bartender Riley who was attentive and friendly. Food was smashing with every detail perfect and delicious. My first time here. I'll be back

: )“

“I’ve been meaning to do this for the last month and I have finally gotten around to it. Every Saturday we go for lunch at White Spot and we have been greeted by a host named Emma. (We finally found her name out last week) she seems to really love her job and goes out of her way to make us feel very welcome, chatting and joking with us while she gets us a booth. Always with a smile on her face, hair, neatly done and those nails! My daughter looks forward to every Saturday when she gets to see what colour or design is on her nails. The servers are excellent, regardless of which one you get. (Sorry, don’t know your names) very attentive, polite and know their job well. When it’s busy, the servers and the greeters work together to make sure we are not waiting long. The food is always consistent, but what set them apart is the people. They have a great team there, from the moment you walk in to the time you leave, you feel like you are appreciated. Would recommend this to anyone who thinks atmosphere is an important part of the dining experience.“

“Joeys staff were friendly and efficient. The lounge was nice and open with big comfy booths. Now the food was amazing, the Cobb salad I had was just outstanding. Thanks guys! I’ll definitely be back.“

“We had an amazing time at Joey Burnaby. We came to celebrate my parents anniversary with our out of town grandparents. Arjun was such an attentive and entertaining server. He does his job very well. Sierra the manager was so an absolute doll!! She came to check on us throughout our evening and made sure we were taken care of. We will be returning!!“

“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.“

“Best burger I have ever tasted! Pizzas as good as any top Italian pizzeria. Brunch was excellent. Basically every dish is elevated but prices are not. Great service beautiful restaurant Chefs pride is tasted in every detail on each plate.“

“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.“

“Salma provided the best best service I have ever had. She talked to me for at least a half hour with a very genuine conversation. 1000% would recommend“

“Had dinner with some special friends on Sunday night and the evening was so enjoyable. We were greeted and seated by Dani the Manager who was able to seat us in a quiet cozy table. We enjoyed the crispy chili tofu, warm spinach dip with perfect garlic bread, and california rolls for appetizers. Following this was an amazing variation of mains from the cajun over roasted salmon (amazingly tender), tuna poke bowl, truffle tortellini, and the black truffle butter steak. We were there for about two hours enjoying our meal. Our server was wonderful, and we never felt rushed or ignored, despite the night being very busy. Overall, I was so pleased with the evening and look forward to our next visit.“

“We had a great experience having our wedding at Riverway. The patio was perfect for cocktail hour and the main dining area worked very well for the reception. Being on a golf course, you might see golfers behind the ceremony space in summer, but it didn’t feel distracting and didn’t take away from the ceremony. The sunset views are beautiful and shine through the floor-to-ceiling windows, which our guests loved.

The plated dinner was a highlight. The steak was perfectly cooked to medium rare, in spite of the quantity that needed to be prepared, and the chicken with mushroom marsala cream was equally tasty. Portions were satisfying, and desserts like tiramisu and toffee sticky cake were crowd favorites. Dietary restrictions were handled smoothly, and we were well-attended-to during the initial menu tasting. Our signature cocktails, including some custom options, were a big hit with our guests!

Bradley was friendly, responsive, and helpful. The Riverway team helped ensure everything on the day-of went off without a hitch. Their attentiveness and thoroughness let us relax and truly enjoy our day. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a smooth, well-organized wedding with a team that really cares!“

“It was so good. The food and the service was out of this world. 10/10“

“I accidentally ordered from this location thinking that it was the Port Moody location. I called back to let them know before they make it. Unfortunately they had already made it. They took care of the bill and understood that I had made an honest mistake. The manager Micheal was very understanding. It shows how well they take care of their costumers.“

“Excellent everything! We split a salad, I had the carpaccio, he had the burger, we shared the panna cotta. Atmosphere, service, food, wine, patio, price point = perfection. Highly recommend.“

“Was curious about the restaurant as I’ve never been and I pass by everyday. Needless to say the experience and food was great, staff was very welcoming, our server Julya was very helpful and understanding despite the restaurant being pretty busy.
Would definitely visit again. Thanks to all the amazing staff“

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

“Our server, Vy, was excellent. She came back to our table throughout our meal to refill water & check on us. I haven't had that kind of service at any Earls for year. Previous servers would disappear after serving our meals and only being friendly and chatting us up while we're paying the bill.“

“Our daughter’s 18th birthday celebration was held here yesterday, August 8, 2025, Browns KGB. The service is so amazing and beyond exceptional. Hands up to Joanna & Jose for extending first- rate service. Thank you so much guys. Until next time.“

“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 .“

“Great service and tasty food. Also they are willing to make changes on menu items for people with food intolerance. Gluten free, dairy free no problem. Great for lunch meetings!“

“very Friendly and Awesome food“

“I went with friends for a birthday dinner. The food was great, and the restaurant has a classy feel. Our servers, Rachael and Ritish were very warm and genuine. They presented the birthday girl with a delicious lava cake(looked beautiful on the plate)and sang happy birthday 🙂“

“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.“

“A huge thank you to Cactus Club and especially to their manager Sunny, who has gone above and beyond to support the Big Guy Classic for the past three years. With his dedication, generosity, and guidance, we have been able to raise and donate a total of $87,000 to HeadsUpGuys to support men’s mental health. Sunny’s support has made a tremendous difference in our event and in our community. We are incredibly grateful for his ongoing commitment and the positive impact he continues to make.“

“Ordered the Turkey to Go for Christmas day and was very impressed with the quality and quantity of food. Thank you for making this service a part of your Christmas lineup. We will definitely order again!“

“Went here with a group of 7 for happy hour. Service was excellent, waiter was responsive. Happy hour drinks were good. Prices are fair for happy hour food but wish it had more variety. One of the people in my group mentioned the fish tacos were a bit dry and the waiter brought over some sauce for her. Ambiance is very chic. Good place to hang out w/ friends and catch up.“

“My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Cactus Club this evening. We came in for happy hour and were helped by Holly. She was so kind and quickly placed our order in before it was 5. On top of that we were celebrating our anniversary and she surprised us with a delicious cheesecake. I always love going to cactus but tonight was a top tier experience! We will definitely be returning!“

“Great place to just go, chill, relax and enjoy delicious meal with friends and family. No fuss or pretentious room, love their wines and there is something for everyone on the menu, from being in the mood to have tapas style or full meal, you can enjoy as you please. Definitely going back for more.“

“Had the pleasure of meeting a friend for lunch and we had great service from our server (sorry I forgot his name). We both had the legendary burger bundle and was cooked well and tasted great. We especially liked the Mango Strawberry Lemonade and perfect for these hot summer days. The fresh blueberry pie (felt like the blueberries were freshly picked) and was perfect for the ending of a great meal.“

“My friend and I went to this restaurant for happy hour and the food was amazing. The calamari was the best we ever had. And our server Gaga was very friendly, attentive and an excellent server. We highly recommend coming to this restaurant. Ask for GaGa!“

“Best coffee. For years we brought it back to Winnipeg and now we are back in bc. The decaf espresso is unbelievable and Swiss Water process.“

“I wanted to give a huge shout out to the manager Katherine (hopefully I spelt it right, I apologize in advanced if I didn’t) she made our birthday celebration special when we ordered a lava cake to go. Would definitely go back just for service like that!“

“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.“

“It’s a very nice concept and you can pick what you want. Choose from noodles, veggies and meat. Tofu and 9 different sauces to choose from. Only problem is that the flat heating plate they use for everything, if you are vegetarian, they will make same on the same where they made the meat one. They should have kept half of the plate for vegetarian people.“

“Great food with large portions and friendly staff. The pictures others posted the plates seemed smaller but they are actually quite large. Loved the pita bread, very fresh and soft. The ceasar salad was tasty as was chicken and rice. Potatoes were a little plain but otherwise cooked nicely. It was fairly busy today from people watching the Blue Jay's game.

I came to this restaurant as neighbours spoke highly of it. I lost one neighbor late last year (Diane) and it was her favorite restaurant next to Ambit.

I will be returning here and so will a friend who treated me to dinner and drinks. We both thought it was a wonderful place. Though both of us admit we thought originally it wasn't a restaurant based on its name.“

“Sunday, April 7, 2024 My 1st time ordering at this location. My Server was Anna, an exceptional, experienced, attentive, Mature Lady with a great personality. I will definitely be back to see Anna!“

“Great White Spot location. Close to Guildford Mall. Staff and service was great. Food portions were average size. i went there twice in two months to find out the diet coke was very flat and not acceptable both times. You'd think this would have been fixed in the same week.“

“10/10! service was fabulous, margarita was boozy yet enjoyable, we ordered the nachos and they are now our new favorite, we will be craving these often.. music was great and ambiance was very hip and well.. SOCIABLE...“

“Absolutely impressed.
2nd time going back for a dinner meal and was not disappointed at all. It's a little pricey, but in my opinion, totally worth it. Steak was cooked to perfection both times and the accompanying pasta was delish.
I do suggest another lager option on tap though, 🍻“

“I've been coming here for years... the staff are always amazing... without fail!... yes, sometimes the food isnt always perfect(during busy times) but they always fix it in a heartbeat... eg. fries aren't always hot... however, it's hands down the best family restaurant in north van! I always leave there happy.“

“Looks kind of spooky from the outside like you’re on a movie set and then when you walk in the feeling is continuous . But then the Staff is always friendly and the people there are friendly and always a good time . Service is always consistent.I’m GF/LF all I know is that I have had food there and never woke up bloated or water retained .“

“We had our Christmas party here. Chicken dinner with a vegetarian option. The food was fine as was the service. I was surprised that a dingle glass of wine was as expensive as it was as the legion has always been famous for reasonable drink prices. Still, this is a nice location.“

“We haven't been to White Spot in a while but we were nearby and wanted breakfast. I had the tomato and spinach Bennie and my partner had the Denver omelet. Both were tasty. Did you know that the hash browns are bottomless? Lived here our entire lifetime and was never told this. So let's talk about our server ... Olivia was absolutely delightful. She was polite and kind. She stopped in often to check in for coffee and hashbrown refills (btw who told us about the refills on the taters!!). She was easy to talk to without any kind of pressure. We even laughed over a story about Dave Matthews Band! The overall experience was positive and our interaction with Olivia alone would bring us back.“

“The best pub ever. The servers are fantastic the food is reasonable and very good I have a group of 11 who visit regularly and all agree the pub is the ultimate choice for a evening out“
