Best Dinner Places to Eat in New Westminster

"Chef Vikram Vij is a huge star in Canada, with a stint as an investor on the reality show for aspiring entrepreneurs Dragon’s Den, and a national range of prepackaged gourmet frozen curries to his name. Everyone from ex-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau to Harrison Ford has waited for a table while enjoying free snacks, thanks to Vij’s no-reservations policy. Join the queues and feast on ambrosial curries paired with B.C."

"Vij's Railway Express is one of those instances where a food truck joins the roster of an existing restaurant empire. In this case, that empire is that of Vikram Vij, whose eponymous Vancouver restaurant is legendary for its contemporary Indian cuisine. His award-winning food truck changes up the menu regularly, though they often feature inventive curries, and fun fusion street eats, like Butter Chicken Schnitzel."

"Without a doubt, Vij's is Vancouver's premier and most-celebrated Indian fine-dining restaurant. The dinner line-up begins forming around 4:30pm -- but if you do end up waiting, you have much to look forward to. Copious appetizers and sips are offered to wait-listed guests who mingle in the dim, bustling atmosphere -- this truly is part of the special experience."

"Chambar is a Belgian-style restaurant, fine dining, free from scandalous parking for many fine restaurants. is housed in a historic building dating back to the late nineteenth / early twentieth century, and it boasts a mixture of pine trees and red plum, which makes it a relaxing dining experience. Chambar is a leader in sustainability and hopes to become the first carbon neutral restaurant in Vancouver."

"Atmosphere plays an important part in current brunch culture, and this particular restaurant provides the tasteful decor all diners love. At Chambar, any Vancouverite visiting will be delighted with the serene and muted color tones, the savvy seating, and of course, the fabulous food presentation at their table. The menu is classy and not overwhelming at all."

"Somewhat of a Vancouver institution at 568 Beatty Street, Chambar's Belgian-inspired brunches and upscale evening menu make it a favorite with locals and visitors alike. Enjoy your moules frites with a glass of local or imported beer, and enjoy similar breakfast bites to sister restaurant Cafe Medina (including those legendary waffles)."

"Grouse Mountain is about 15-minutes after crossing Lions Gate Bridge. Head to the top of Grouse Mountain by cable car and you’ll be transformed into a snowy world of outdoor skating, snowshoeing, skiing and snowboarding. In summer, you’ll still find lots of snow, but it’s truly a hiker’s dream with a heap of trails, the Grouse Grind, and mountaintop trails of varying intensity that’ll suit most hikers."

"The Lion’s Gate Bridge is Vancouver’s most iconic bridge, and the best views of it are from Stanley Park. See it from the Prospect Point Lookout or walk a little bit down Stanley Park Drive to see it straight on like in the photo above!. Fun fact: the Guinness family (yes, the Irish brewing company) built the bridge in 1938!"

"There are multiple ways to get amazing views of Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver. The Lions Gate Bridge frames the mountain peaks of The Lions in the distance and you’ll find stone lions “protecting” the entrance to the bridge. The Lions Gate Bridge can be viewed from the Sea Wall or from Prospect Point"

"This waterfront park is the gateway to West Vancouver, and a favored destination for off-leash dog walks. Spectacular views of Stanley Park and downtown Vancouver set the scene for seawall walks, and there are 3.5 hectares of dog-designated space – from grassy fields to sandy beaches – providing plenty of room for furry friends to roam free. Further along the seawall is the pet-free part of the park, with a beachfront playground for kids, a skate-park, a basketball court, and a concession stand for snacks."

"Ambleside Park — don’t let the name fool you, this is not one but two beaches local to Vancouver. The beach is essentially split in half; one side is primarily for dog-owners to let their pooches run wild!. With some of the best views of the Lions gate bridge, this beach located on the north shore in West Vancouver, this beach is kid friendly and has features for all ages including golf, concession stands, and those handy washrooms."

"George Wainborn Park in Yaletown brings together Vancouver’s beautiful nature and it’s urban architecture in close proximity, delivering space to lounge around and bring a picnic, juxtaposed against the hustle and bustle of the city.

"A massive overhaul to their taproom along with a more dedicated shift in focus to start creating some really inventive beer has Parallel ranking much higher than we would have given them credit for a few years back. They are on fire right now, and having the creative minds of Boombox in-house is just an added bonus."

"Driven by a never ending thirst for amazing beer, Parallel 49 does things a bit differently, offering great beers with unique flavors, such as the hopped sour Bodhisattva due to its unique leafy taste, the Tricycle Radler, giving of  a nice aroma of grapefruits and of course their Jearkface 9000 a great Wheat Ale."

"This is a local favorite and if you get there after 3pm on a Saturday you will be fighting for a seat after a long wait. Service can be a wild card and staff often looks overwhelmed but the beer is cheap. With the opening of their new tap room your even more likely to find a spot to get in."

"Gastown’s notable Pourhouse offers a boozy brunch service on weekends: mimosas and caesars are two for one, particularly enticing for anyone who has had a long week. As for the food, guests can indulge in favourites such as the mushroom frittata, smoked salmon benedict, chicken and waffles, or the classic (housemade sausage patty or double smoked bacon, poached eggs, potatoes, and grilled sourdough). Chicken and waffles."

"Whether it’s for a relaxing lunch, an intimate dinner with a loved one, or just a fun evening with friends, you will want a good atmosphere, drinks, and food. For all that (and much more) look no further than Pourhouse in Vancouver. This gorgeous restaurant tucked inside a 100 year old building is the perfect place for a celebration of any kind."

"Surrounded by skyscrapers, this single-block park in Yaletown is an urban oasis for children and adults alike. The newer playground gives kids plenty to climb, spin and swing on while benches everywhere give weary downtown walkers a spot to rest their feet and chat up a local. Nearby Nelson Park has that laid back community feeling (and more dogs) but this park always feels like something’s happening, even if it’s just taking in the small waterfall and letting the sound drown out construction."

"This sculpture is one of the many attractions along the Stanley Park Sea Wall. This particular statue reminds of the the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, and from far away she does look like a mermaid!. The Girl in a wet suit statue is located just off shore of the wall and sits just in front of Vancouver Harbour and the North Shore mountains."

"Exhibiting views of the entire area, the Vancouver Lookout is the perfect way to see firsthand the entire wonder of Vancouver, right from the heart of the city. As you are whisked skyward on the outside of the building aboard a glass-walled elevator your views will begin to open up. Once at the top of the observation deck prepare yourself for the breathtaking 360-degree views, complete with a guided tour of Vancouver's most iconic landmarks and fascinating facts."

"Technically located in West Vancouver, this place gives you an unparalleled top down view of the Vancouver skyline. It is a particularly magical spot to watch the sunrise as warm golden hues bathe the city in morning light. If it’s a cloudy or crisp day, a morning photo expedition might reward you with low fog which often covers the lowest portions of the city, allowing the skyscrapers to pop through, making it look like a supernatural place."

"Gaze at the panoramic views of Vancouver from 30 storeys high. While tickets for the Vancouver Lookout are a little pricy for what it is, your ticket grants you admission all-day long."
