Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Surrey

"Vij’s on Cambie St. is a 10-minute drive from downtown, and while it’s a bit out of the way of the more popular areas, it is on the way to the city’s biggest comedy club, Yuk Yuk’s. This Indian restaurant has been around since the ’90s and it has a great rooftop patio open in the summer. Get things like their famous lamb ‘popsicles,’ pork spoon, or mango kulfi to share if you’re with a group, though they also do single servings of most appetizers and half orders of their curries, so you’re always able to try a bit of everything even if you’re solo or with one other person."

"Best Dish at Vij’s: Wine marinated lamp popsicles in fenugreek cream curry on turmeric and spinach potatoes. With cookbooks, frozen meals, and three restaurants, local Vancouverites know the name Vij’s well. The flagship restaurant has an East meets West kind of flair, with traditional Indian flavors fused with local British Columbian ingredients."

"A post shared by Clare (@bellecoeur) on Aug 23, 2018 at 10:22pm PDT. An institution in Vancouver, Vij’s a top spot to head for Indian eats. Owned by celeb chef and culinary personality Vikram Vij, this eatery offers an amazing selection of classic Indian dishes and several signature eats."

"Made the post out of this long weekend by enjoying a lovely patio dining at An old favourite!. A must try here is the Foie Gras and Mussels!. I can assure you…”more"

"A cozy and elegant Belgian restaurant (located in Chinatown) with breakfast every day and a lengthy brunch menu on the weekends."

"A fine dining-style brunch featuring Chef Quang Dang's seven-item menu riddled with high end, local ingredients. This is the kind of spot where the "fresh squeezed orange juice" on the menu really is squeezed ten steps away behind the bar."

"Nestled between retail stores along South Granville, West is a hidden gem brimming with talented, high ceilings, a temperature-controlled wall of wine."

"A post shared by B (@fattiella_eats) on Jul 29, 2019 at 5:55pm PDT. Since 1985, Pajo’s has been frying up locally caught cod, salmon, and halibut fish to a beautiful golden brown and pairing it with thick-cut chips. The fish and chips are served in a nostalgic newspaper cone that makes the classic pairing both easy and fun to eat."

"A post shared by Pajo’s (@pajos_fishchips) on Dec 10, 2018 at 10:45am PST. Known all over the Lower Mainland (and beyond) for their fish and chips, Pajo’s is a must-try place on this list. If you can’t make your way out to the Richmond spots, Pajo’s has two other locations at YVR and Port Moody to chose from."

"With just a block separating the two, they can be viewed as one wonderful space that creates a thriving neighbourhood feel between Oak and Cambie. This is another place to work your endorfins, accessing the Heather Park’s tennis courts, or playing soccer or baseball or jogging the perimeter path at Douglas Park. A new wood-feature playground including a playhouse and tree platform at Douglas Park only adds to the appeal of this area."

"Situated off Commercial Drive in the heart of East Van, this park has long had a permanent pot cloud over it. Accept it or head to nearby Victoria Park where you can watch Italian old-timers play bocce. Don’t limit yourself to the park itself."

"The third sight-seeing location was Lighthouse Park along the coast and displayed Vancouver city in the distance. At last, our final, spur of the moment location was a view of BC Place (Vancouver’s Whitecap’s Stadium). We walked around Vancouver and ended up overlooking a gorgeous nighttime view of the cityscape. Most of Day 2 was spent with our friends, taking photos and playing tourist throughout Vancouver."

"Moltaqa Restaurant offers a romantic, Moroccan escape in Gastown with a menu of healthy and flavourful Moroccan fare. The ambiance takes you to Marrakesh with beautiful mosaic tiles, overhanging lanterns and vibrant artwork. The focus of Moltaqa is healthy, flavourful, halal Moroccan cuisine with aromatic spices."

"Beach Bay Cafe and Patio is located a couple of short blocks away from English Bay Beach and offers beach and ocean views from the comfort of the restaurant’s indoor dining area or heated outdoor patio. The contemporary bar is perfect for enjoying a creative cocktail while watching the sunset over the beach. Beach Bay’s menu offers traditional West Coast favorites and innovative dishes made with only sustainable, ocean-friendly seafood and fresh, high-quality ingredients."

"Beach Bay Cafe and Patio has one of the best locations in the city, hands down. Perched at the edge of Denman Street, it overlooks English Bay."

"The healthiest option on this list, Virtuous Pie offers 100% plant-based pizza for those looking to improve their diet or help the earth a little bit. The 10-inch individual pizzas range from classic Margherita to curry pizza to chorizo and artichoke. They have multiple locations but we’re most inclined to go to the one on Main Street."

"My second favourite restaurant from my time in Vancouver was surprisingly a vegan pizzeria, and I use the term surprising because I wasn’t quite convinced prior to my visit that pizza could actually exist without cheese."

"A big meal here doesn’t leave you feeling regretful, bloated or like you need to go run 10km. Tip: Stranger Wings is the cult favorite. Order with all the dipping sauces!!"

"The Greek by Anatoli combines the vibrant, contemporary energy of Yaletown with the authenticity of a lively Mykonos restaurant. Anatoli’s menu classics are served alongside exciting new creations. Order online through Foodora and DoorDash."

"Subway was first opened in 1965 by Fred Deluca; he wanted to make money for his college fee, so he opened up a peter buck’s idea, and he invested 1000$, and their business started. They opened their first restaurant in Connecticut, and it has been expanding since then to the level that up to now, it has become one of the largest chain fast food restaurants which provide nutritious and healthy food and sandwiches, which have become families’ first choice. Although it has become a famous brand, the subway has kept its core values, providing great service with the highest quality and affordable prices."
