White Rock's food scene just got a serious upgrade

Ever since The Boathouse Restaurant closed its White Rock location (alongside its Kitsilano outpost. Later its spot in Port Moody), things have been looking pretty quiet on the food front for the area of Metro Vancouver.

White Rock's food scene just got a serious upgrade

Big Way has grown so popular that it quite often has multiple locations on the same block (like its two outposts in Burnaby) or just a couple of blocks away (like in Richmond). Big Way gained its rise to fame through its pay-by-weight model.

Guests are given a bowl and tongs when they enter and then are prompted to add whatever ingredients they want to their bowl from a wall of fridges, including plenty of meats, veggies, noodles, and more. Once guests are happy with their bowl, it is then weighed, and guests are charged by the weight.

The components are then cooked in the guest’s broth of choice and are brought to their table. In addition to Big Way, Goldie’s Donuts and Bakery has began trading a location at 15090 North Bluff Rd. Goldie’s opened its first Metro Vancouver location two years ago in West Vancouver.

Here, the doughnut shop was serving up fluffy brioche donuts fermented for 24 hours with delicious cream fillings and glazes, all made in-house. Since then, it has popped up in Vancouver, North Vancouver, Langley, Port Coquitlam, and now White Rock.

The team behind Bean and Berry, known best for serving chocolate-covered strawberry cups along the pier, of late threw open its doors the doors to their first brick-and-mortar space under the same name at 1122 Vidal St. As for The Boathouse location, there’s still no update on who will be taking over the space. What restaurant would you like to see open in White Rock?
