Burgoo Bistro Lonsdale Ltd

It's been years since we were last there, and were pleasantly surprised to find that the food was just as delicious as we remembered it to be.

Update your menus. No surprise they’re out of date, but several menu favourites are now gone. Had a lackadaisical beer there there the other day (Stolen Bike is inexplicably gone, replaced by some forgettable weak light beer) and all my personal favourites are gone from the menu.Honestly, at one point in the restaurant’s history they had a sandwich called the “Tastiest Chicken Sandwich “. Then they lost their best consistent chef (Teresa) and replaced it with the “Tasty Chicken Sandwich “, which was a “HUH?” moment for me. Eventually they improved it to the “Tastier Chicken Sandwich “, which was almost the same as the original, and now they’ve replaced it with the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich, which I wouldn’t even CONSIDER ordering! The pot pie is gone, everything I like is gone, and for me personally, I have no reason to go in anymore. Too bad, I know everything ends, but I was hoping this one would last forever.Burgoo has lost its “comfort “ feel. It’s just another place that I feel will be another statistic in North Van in two years.

Lower Lonsdale of Vancouver city,if you want to go you should take a ferry from Vancouver Harbor.This is a very cute bistro, the food is delicious, the atmosphere is nice, and it's a nice place to spend a leisurely afternoon on your day off.I have visited several times and have always been welcomed by the hospitable staff, and I think it is the perfect place to spend your holidays in Vancouver.Japanese people who stay in overseas are concerned that the cost of food may be high because the exchange rate is currently depreciating, but this shop is not.

Stopped in uncertain of everything- I'd never heard of it or been to one before. It was pretty cozy and the staff were really friendly- immediately.The food I'd ordered was pretty simple fare but I have to say it was really good. I basically got the mac and cheese, their version of a grilled cheese (best I've ever had- with the chorizo option) and a dessert. Pro tip: If you get their peach dessert ask for a second scoop of ice cream on the side. Just trust me on that one.You're welcome :D

Came here with my family on Sunday for lunch. We got seated at our table, got our menu, we were all ready to order within 5 minutes. The server didn 't come back to our table until 15 minutes later. When she finally took our order and our food was dropped off at our table, she didn 't come check on us until another 20 minutes later, and she only did it once. I wouldn 't complain if this were the case with all the other tables, but she generally chatted up every table but ours. Which again, doesn 't matter, maybe it 's because we are Asian and the other tables were not. What did matter was when it came down to us finishing our food, I kept trying to wave down our server, but she refused to look over at our table once (while happily catering to all the other customers multiple times). The lady bartending/ other server eventually asked if she can start cleaning our table up, in which I said yes please, and I asked if we can have some takeout boxes for our leftovers. She said for sure and never came back with the takeout boxes. Later on, I 'm sure she did remember because we made eye contact, but she refused to come back to our table. It was not until our server walked by the 7th time without acknowledging our table that I said out loud as she walked by can we get some service?! that she finally acknowledged me. She eventually came back with our boxes and bill, but not before she has a conversation with the bartender while looking over at our table. I love Burgoo, and frankly, the food was great. I made the trip all the way to Lonsdale from New Westminster to eat at the location. But after that service (which extended our stay more than necessary by more than 25 minutes) I will not be returning.
