For a truly remarkable dining experience in the Fraser Valley, Restaurant 62 is the place to go. Founded in 2004, Restaurant 62 in Abbotsford is known as a top restaurant for farm-to-table cuisine. Executive Chef Jeff Massey and Chef de Cuisine, Matthew Nichols co-own Restaurant 62 and their focus is to use fresh, local ingredients in their masterfully created dishes. The restaurant also has an impressive wine selection which has earned them a Wine Spectator’s Award for Excellence every year for the last ten years.
We came here for the 3 course New Years Eve dinner and the food was absolutely to die for. The beef tenderloin was amazing. Our server was also wonderful. I can't recommend this place enough.
Great!. Wife and I got a $50 gift certificate as an anniversary gift and ended up dropping over $200 (good Pinot!). Worth every penny. The best service we have ever received - attentive and quick but not overbearing - and the attention and detail paid to each dish was admirable and the results obvious. Everything was about as perfect as a dining experience could be with one exception: the steak was three different degrees of done-ness. They remedied the problem immediately with a new steak, but that was weird.
Thoughtful & intelligent..... Beautiful presentation featuring seasonal local food. I couldn't get enough of the chickpea spread. I had a tenderloin entree, stuffed with mushroom. It was really tasty, well presented with a bouillon. The tenderloin was a thin strip, cooked fully and stuffed with mushrooms. It was a little on the salty side, but made up for it with its originality. My entree was a halibut, daily special with seasonal veggies and a little layered gratin on the side. I really appreciated the gratin, it was like having a present on my plate. The fish and veggies were cooked to perfection with all of the natural flavour of the food remaining the star ingredient. One of the best restaraunts I have tried in the greater vancouver area. Service was good, the waiter was un blame fully unsure of us since we showed up in t-shirts and flip flops. Still he was really nice, and helpful with the wine selection which paired beautifully with my husband's steak & just ok with my fish.
For a special occasion. Or once in a while due to the price, however its abbotsfords only fine dining restaurant. When I first went years ago I was unimpressed and did not like the food the worst was the lobster bisque, on return the food was great but it was busy service was meh ok, the last visit during a weekday was amazing. The ingrediants are local mostly and mostly organic and sustainable. The waiter was very knowlegable about the food and extensive wine list. A must try. I do think their vdays menu was exboratant so I did not go.
Catering!. I've always enjoyed dining at R62 the atmosphere, service and food is consistently exceptional. Recently though I had them cater a small cocktail party in my home, which was superb. I wasn't stressed and my guests enjoyed fabulous food. One of the best things I've done and will certainly do again.
The food was excellent. Waitress was helpful in making our choices . Service was prompt and hot. The atmosphere was charming and intimate. All in all a delightful dining experience.
Don't usually do any type of upscale or fancier type places or food, for the fact of small portions and a big bill. I went 62 planning to be hungry at the end. I eat a lot by the way lol. I was impressed by the service to start, the appitizzers were amazing. And the entree filled me right up with a nice drink selection. The food was prepped nice and the flavor was excellent. My wife was impressed as well I was for a change. I would recommend for anybody looking for a change and not being dissipointed.
R62. We were here a couple of weeks ago for a surprise "milestone" birthday party. There were around 35 of us and we took over the back of the restaurant.
A 3 course set menu and drink specials were presented to us. Entree selections included roast pork, crab risotto, and chicken breast.
The food was very nicely prepared and presented. The chicken was moist and tender as was the roast pork. The service was very crisp and professional. My wife enjoyed herself and wouldn't mind returning to sample the regular menu. That's good enough for me.
Entire experience amazing. I've eaten at 62 periodically over the past 5 years and gotta say that this restaurant is, unequivocally, the highest quality dining experience you can find in the Valley.
This restaurant won't be for everyone because there is definite attention put on quality over quantity - which is sadly lacking in the dietary spectrum of many Fraser Valley diners. Ingredients are mostly local, chef is a gastro-genius, and staff are quick, attentive, and friendly.
Booze is a little pricey, but I'd pay the same at Earl's or Milestone's for a franchised feel. So no big whoop there.
Datenight, special occasion, business lunch, or the like - this place is perfect. Fast food, trough-style, or just consuming something in order to make a turd - not for you.
Eaten here multiple times and have never, ever been disappointed. Slightly more expensive than Earl's - depending on what you order - but WAY better quality.
Our first time here and nice environment, the special main entree of chicken, pasta, mushrooms in white sauce with peas....nummy for my tummy! Good food and good service! We will be back to try the brunch.
Great food and wonderful lounge. I like the food and the way how the Chef presents. Nice dining experience to celebrate my anniversary.
Excellent!. The menu is always seasonal and many high quality local ingredients are utilized. Everything tastes great and looks stunning. The staff are all really friendly.
Great Atmosphere. Great food. This restaurant is very nice. a great date night, good food, of all the times we have been we have not been disappointed. nice wine list as well
Ricky. I was surprised! Great steak and dessert. Looking forward to a second visit.
I've been to r62 once before I didn't like. It was for brunch and my omelette looked like a freaking pizza. But I decided to go here, because he vetoed goin to penang.. thinking it's too bizarre how a restaurant can be both szchewan and malaysian at the s
Firstly, this place needs to be a solid 4.8 minimum. Went for my birthday dinner with a larger group and tried a bunch of dishes. Everything was very good but my favourite was definitely the duck prosciutto risotto. Their sauces and flavours are amazing. Nice smaller intimate setting with what feels like some more private dining rooms/spaces. Ambiance is great and so is the service! Well done.

Very happy to have visited this restaurant. We went on a Friday, it was quiet. We ordered a lot of food because everything on the menu looked so good. We will definitely go back to try what we didn’t order.
Don’t worry if you can’t finish your plate, the servers have your back and will bring you take away boxes. We made incredible egg benedictines with the leftover meat we ordered (suggested by our server).
They could update their cocktails, a bit simple and one note (aka alcohol forward), but everything else was worth it, even the ice cream that came with the churros!

Went to this restaurant for the first time to celebrate my husbands birthday. We made a reservation and arrived on time. We were brought to a table and decided I wanted to sit in the main front area which we did. We had Emmie as our server, she was just lovely. Loved the atmosphere at this restaurant, we had a nice couple of hours, starting with the braised pork belly appetizer which we shared, a nice starter. The birthday boy had their tenderloin special of the evening and I chose the lamb saddle. How can you say, wow! Our taste buds where at work, so many different taste with each fork full, the beet, kale, asparagus and potato, completed the meals. Compliments to the chef. We pair the dishes with a beautiful Painted Rock Cabernet Franc, a beautiful full body deep red, A British Columbian wine from the Penticton area. As it was my husbands birthday we did splurge and had dessert. I had the special I believe Paris Brest and I the crème brûlée, both were delicious. If you enjoy an evening out and a lovely dinner experience check out Restaurant 62. We will be back!
Delicious choices for food:
Chick pea spread and pork belly are great appetizers
Chicken breast and braised short rib amazing entrees.
Dessert special was churros and I wept for I was too full to enjoy them...
Always fantastic food and atmosphere. Its our go to place for a nice dinner
Had an absolutely wonderful time here! The food was absolutely delicious and the waitress was really attentive to our needs and made sure the night went smoothly!! She was awesome! COVID checks was also smooth and I would definitely come back again to try other seasonal dishes ☺️
Although the lunch menu has few items to pick, it is surprised that it provides special lunch choices. The food and services are both so great.
