Best Casual Restaurants in Burnaby

This was my first time at The Lunch Lady. We made a reservation just over 2 weeks in advance and the only option on a Sunday evening was outdoor patio (so make sure to reserve well in advance for weekends!). The outdoor patio, they mention, is heated, and it truly was warm, covered and comfortable. We had the beef carpaccio which was good, garlic noodles, and this I would recommend, but my favorite dish was the steak luc lac (done medium rare with this burnt scallion butter that was divine). My friend had the beef noodle soup, and although the broth was great and the soup was a sizeable portion, you can get something similar in other Vietnamese restaurants. Finally, their customer service is fantastic. All in all, with the service, food and price, I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Derek was our server and he was very attentive and friendly. Made our experience very enjoyable. We sat by the door to the outside patio which was not great . Servers , staff and patrons kept the door open and closing and banging with cold drafts of air every few minutes.

Food and service was great. The happy hour lobster roll is always a favourite.

Elegant but casual, Selene impressed and delighted. Amazing service and food, and the most elevated Greek salad I’ve ever had. I would also drink the mussel broth on its own, it’s that good. Selene deserves all the success, thank you for a lovely evening!

Our server was excellent which made for a positive experience. She was very attentive and personable. The food was perfectly prepared. All round nice lunch.
