Restaurants in/around Coquitlam?

[taryn]

Hi, I live in Port Coquitlam and am looking for some good restaurants around Coquitlam, PoCo, and Port Moody, I'll even go to Maple Ridge. I don't always want to go far to get good food. There are way too many chains around here. Help!!!

Have you tries St. Street Grill in PM? Not brilliant, but certainly better than Mr. Mikes or Boston Pizza.

I met the owner of a place called The Ridge Bistro in Maple Ridge. He compared his food (with a perfectly straight face) to the food at Lumiere. Scared to take one for the team though. My truck and car have carved a groove in the pavement from my crib to the city for restaurant eating.

Coop, just for a laugh, what is this chap's background / pedigree.

How long have they been open ?

I mean, great set the bar high but to say your food is just as good as Rob Feenie's - ( I do not want a discussion on what influence the Sous Chef's at Lumiere have on Rob's food etc - he is the boss. period )

That might be setting yourself up for a fall.

Have any of the big food mags or TV show discovered this place. Is Maple Ridge the new Culinary Mecca ?

Lets see how this plays out.

The John B Pub actually has a fairly serious food program and a great little wine list. They also host wine dinners from time to time. And right next door is their wine store--one of the best in the province. It's not unusual to see Vancouver restaurateurs shopping there on Friday afternoons, even if Brian Jessel has recently moved his BMW franchise closer in to town.

That is funny.. I met a guy in Abbotsford at a small "family-style" greek place...he was the owner....without me asking he comes up to my table and says:

Him: "You know.........(greek ......pause........ you just know itsa gonna be seriousa....) I shipa that dressinga alllllllllllllllllllllll over the world...."

me: "It really is good..."

Him: "$4.50 for 10 ounces...I'll get you some... be right back.."

me: "HUH"

To this day..... I make the trip from the Lower Mainland to Abbotsford ...just to pick up this "House" dressing from this crazy place beside an IGA in ABBY almost weekly....apparently it doesn't "KEEP" so well....so you " MUST EAT FRESH!"

What we do .....

By the way....He was right it is ......devine...

Easy mate. Or perhaps this is merely proof positive that irony, as they say, and despite Ms. Morrisette's plaintive squeals to the contrary, really does require two audiences.

Or maybe they arrived by sloop.

Maybe if you weren't so stingy with your punctuation, your message would be clearer.

Jeffy Boy,

Even I got Jamie's sparkling wit and I drive a van!
