Restaurants in New Westminster, BC
After a day of snowboarding at cypress mountain, we were looking forward to having a late lunch at Burger Heaven in New Westminster. At 2pm on a Saturday the small burger restaurant was packed to our surprise. We needed to wait 20 minutes for a table for 3, so we decided to get take out instead.
Sushi Zone is an interesting sushi restaurant in downtown New Westminster next to the sky train station. The location seems to be really convenient for local students to stop by for a quick bite. Therefore, one of the first things I noticed is the reasonable pricing of the menu.
For MePlusFood’s 3rd birthday dinner, we invited a few friends to the Old Bavaria Haus in New Westminster. This was before I went on a trip to Europe, so we picked this place to sort of get a warm up of what we’re going to eat in Germany & Vienna.
I had a strong craving for pasta the other day and made spontaneous decision to checkout Aldo’s Pasta Bar in New Westminster.
I decided to try a new sushi place in New Westminster. I found this place on urbanspoon and invited Beipas. However, either of us have heard of Victoria Sushi before. It is probably because the restaurant is pretty secluded and does not receive a lot of drive-by exposure. It is also quite far away from the sky train station and is strangely situated in an area full of residential apartments.
Cloud 9 Specialty Bakery is a bakery shop in New Westminster, making all kinds of gluten-free products. We sampled quite a few things such as: Raspberry Cupcake, Vanilla cupcake, Peanut butter brownie bar, cinnamon buns and a cappucino bar.
Indian Star is an Indian restaurant on New Westminster’s 6th avenue. At around 6pm we were the only customers in the restaurant. A couple people came in for dinner after us, but most of their business are take outs as quite a few people came by to pick up their food.
Kojima Sushi is a new restaurant that opened recently in New Westminster where King Sushi used to be. The restaurant kept the same interior decorations but really vamped up the exterior.
Le Saigonnaise Vietnamese Restaurant was a great find in New Westminster.
I came here originally wanting some pho, but decided to get some of the unusual vietnamese appetizers instead. So, for dinner we shared a Saigon style chicken wings, Vietnamese pancake, and a spicy pho (Bún bò Huế).
I headed to New Westminister because I was craving for tacos at Taqueria Playa Tropical. This mexican place is usually pretty quiet, but for some reason it was packed on the day I went. Starving and not willing to wait, I decided to walk over to its next door food joint, Burger Burger to get some… burgers.
Crepe Des Amis in New Westminister’s River Market is a great place to get delicious crepes outside of downtown Vancouver.
Another breakfast in New Westminster! This time was at Amelia Cafe.
I ordered the breakfast special number 1, which was the usual 2 eggs, hash brown, sausage and toast. This was a solid breakfast. My eggs were cooked perfectly at over medium, there was a lot of crispy hash brown, and there were 3 sausages. Nothing was overly greasy, sausages were surprisingly good. And all this was just under $5.
