I have some good news and one piece of bad news when it comes to great places to eat.
The bad news is that Burnaby’s best patio at the Hart House Restaurant has been closed for the season due to the arrival of fall.
This makes me sad because nothing beats eating some yummy fish while staring out across the grass to Deer Lake.
It’s a truly remarkable experience, but we’ll have to wait for spring to enjoy that again.
The good news is that the Hart House has pivoted both in the space available at its restaurant and in the menus choices available.
The Hart House was doing an all-day menu, but has now created a new lunch menu, as well as launching exciting new menus for brunch and happy hour.
Hart House’s Mediterranean-inspired cuisine features fresh local ingredients: executive chef Mike Genest is changing things up with new daily sandwich specials, a Lois Lake Steelhead Burger, and rotating lunch specials. There’s also a crispy pork belly flat bread that makes me feel faint just thinking about.
The patio is closed, but the restaurant has opened its second-floor rooms for lunch and dinner in order to offer guests a safe dining experience with ample space.
Hart House is also welcoming back private dining groups for the fall and holiday season. The restaurant’s spacious design can accommodate various party sizes safely, including:
- a private space for 4 to 12 guests in the second-floor Avalon Room
- the Lakeside Cottage, which can accommodate up to 18 guests with ease and comfort
- The Rosedale room on the 2nd floor, with up to 5 tables of six.
Note the following service times:
- Lunch and Weekend Brunch: 11:30am – 3:00pm
- Happy Hour: 3:00 – 5:00pm
- Dinner: 5:00pm – 8:30pm
Takeout and Curbside delivery is available during these times as well.
Reservations may be made online or by calling 604-298-4278.
