Best Family Style 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!

First time visitors and had a great experience. I had heard great things, and my expectations were exceeded. Amazing service, food and atmosphere. Everyone was so nice.

Excellent food. Share plates were ample for group. We will return.

We ordered the full course chef’s choice. Every dish was interesting and delicious. A 2 and a half hour dining experience. Staff was informative, attentive and did not rush us through the many dishes.

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!
