It’s not just the sandy beaches, one-of-a-kind boutiques or million-dollar ocean view that makes White Rock and South Surrey a popular destination point for tourists and locals alike.
Foodies from all over, including our friendly U.S. neighbours, frequently flock here to sample the variety of fresh, world class cuisine prepared by some of the country’s most talented executive chefs.
The wine is also divine – with many restaurants utilizing the B.C. vineyards to complement their innovative menus.
From award-winning upscale restaurants to classic mom n’ pop diners, fish and chip shops, bakeries, delis and tantalizing take-out – White Rock offers the ultimate dining experience.
Dining in White Rock is all about top quality, too: the city is proud to be 100 per cent drive-thru free, and 99 per cent of the restaurants are unique, one-of-a-kind experiences you’ll only find by coming here.
Having diversity in population means diversity in cuisine, which is reflected by the variety of ethnic restaurants and specialty stores located along the popular strip and scattered throughout the Peninsula.
Indian, Vietnamese, West Coast, Italian, French and Mediterranean are just a handful of options available to tantalize your taste buds.
Like jolly ol’ England, White Rock is renowned for its fish and chips.
In the summer months, the aroma of vinegar and fresh chips wafts along the sandy shore from families dining on the savory sea side fare.
For dessert, ice cream is always a popular choice in White Rock.
And there’s certainly no shortage of shops dishing up the icy treat to help cool you down.
From double chocolate chunk ice cream and strawberry frozen yogurt to peach gellato, even the most disciplined dieters find it hard not to stop for a scoop.
