4/5Happy Dine out Vancouver 2019! We are starting the year off strong with Horizons Restaurant on Burnaby mountain. P and I went here from my mom's recommendation, she said the view and food is both good. Let's delve into the food. Appetizer- I got the chowder which I was not a big fan of, but that's more of a personal preference because I am not a big fan of shrimp - especially small shrimp, like tiny shrimp, like the entire shrimp was as big as my nail. Hmmmm. Otherwise, I felt that the soup was substantial, with lots and lots of fish in it. P had the glorified popcorn shrimp that he felt could have came with a better sauce (it was in chili sauce with black vinegar??huhhhh?) What would have been a GREAT dip would be some kind of aioli with a slice of lemon to cut through the grease.Mains - I got the BC Wild Salmon which was a very generous portion. Thought that both the fish and the risotto could have used maybe 1 or 2 more minutes in the oven. However, it was flavorful and delicious anyways. Simple but done well. Also came with a few asparagus and 2 carrots, pretty good. Would recommend.P got the 6 Oz Steak and he said that was the highlight of the dinner. Perfectly cooked and with a fantastic sauce on top. The mash potatoes were placed nicely but not particularly flavorful, same veg as my main.Dessert - I had the creme brulee which was fine, very generic.It also curiously came with a biscotti, which was super random. I didn't hate it though, still ate it. P got the smores cheesecake which I would recommend. It was nice and creamy, with a nice charred marshmallow on top. Other than that, I got a cocktail called Blue Sky, Please feel free to read my blog for the rest!~
My father in law had coupon for this restaurant so decided to try it out. The coupon was to $20 off so its not bad. I didn't know the food here were expensive. My husband didnt like his steak. I like my tofu curry though. The service was good. I guess the kitchen was too smoky thats why the fire alarm went on.
Maybe Burnaby Mountain has always been a landscape in my sights, the back of my mind. When I was a kid, our house in North Burnaby faced this giant slumping mound. Its changing hue turned as leaves on trees faded, brightened with the seasons. Reddish saffron lit fiery in fall, morning light frosted silver in cold winters, cooling whispering greens flashing in spring, dry summers charred to dullness. It was kind of our big backyard, accessible by a drive that only took five minutes. My mom and dad would take my sister, brother and me for a grassy picnic, a day of kicking a ball around, kite testing, Frisbee toss.More than two decades old, Horizons Restaurant is in the same peaceful park area we played and has the unique privilege of being the only restaurant in that vicinity. The vistas of suburban Burnaby Heights and downtown Vancouver are unobstructed from their windows’ vantage point, unless a foggy veil shades the skies that day.
Overall, this was a great experience for me. Places with "views" always make me a bit hesitant, but I was pleasantly surprised with the quailty here. I was expecting a menu that was as geriatric as the general clientele here but I was wrong. Very wrong. In addition to some creatrive choices and some classics, this place has better food quality than a number of downtown joints living off their hipster vibe. Special Mention goes to the crostini and Gnochetti. Both were execptionally well done.
I was also impressed with the WIne list. Not the same tired old choices here, they've clearly gone out on a limb and the success is obvious. This place should be on your radar.

A dining experience I/we have NEVER forgotten.... This is a SUPERB place to visit, to be entertained, to DINE, see the spectacular view and so much more that I am unable to write everything here. The atmosphere is so awesome...that alone will relax you. Your tummy will say thanks as the cuisine is FANTASTIC...2nd to a very few and better than that. The fine dining is THE VERY BEST of soooo many other great experiences on the “THE MOUNTAIN". This is my wife and I most very favorite place to dine. Now that she is in Heaven, it's one of my most fond memories. We visited "THE MOUNTAIN" back in 1971 and I knew this was the “PLACE” that I would use later...thank God I was correct and (12) months later I chose this place to ask my SWEETHEART to marry me. WoW! We dined here so many times over the 36 years and 7 months of marriage. We always had an awesome enjoyable experience. Not too long before my darling went to be with Jesus...we ate here, in fact, this was the very last place we ever dined at together again. I am so thankful for that memory...the ways The Horizons looked “after" my wifey & I...the VERY BEST view of VANCOUVER and surrounding areas...the beautiful gardens, flowers and more view in a different direction will leave you in awe. OH! Did I say the FOOD is G-R-E-A-T to even better?
I’m NOT sure where the Horizons took their name from but I think it must have been because of the beautiful sunsets on the horizon...I’m referring to the horizon that God made.
To DINE here is an EXPERIENCE of your WHOLE BEING except for your soul because for that JESUS died and rose again on the 3rd day.
May God bless everyone that may read this in the future. The ONLY disappointment we EVER had up there, at The Horizons, was we had to leave here until the next time. :o)
A Great Experience. Went on a Thursday and it was fairly busy. We did not get a window seat but asked the waitress to move us once a table cleared up and she did. Had the Calamari, Mussels and Clams, Steak (done to perfection) and Pork Tenderloin. All of which were delicious! My only criticism is that their presentation needs a little fine tuning. The view is gorgeous and very romantic when night falls. The staff is friendly and very professional. We will definitely be back.
Came here for the dine out menu. Food was great! Service was also great! Server was aware we were trying the dine out $28 menu and still kept up with the level of service expected at a fine dining place. She smiled at us, checked up on us, refilled drinks and pointed to us there is a future discount if we return as stated on the bill. Place was packed and still our sever managed to check up on us and serve food at a timely manner. Also helped that there were extra staff working too. Glad the restaurant made the effort during the dine out event to leave customers with a good impression. Some places don't bother to do that because they assume that if you are paying a set price that there is no effort required. I was pleasantly supprised with the food and service. Will come back.
Delicious food, service ok. Got a Groupon deal, $98 for 4 (starter, entrée, dessert). I got the mussels and clams to start, steelhead for main, and creme brûlée to finish. Food was great! But because we had a Groupon, we were sat at the furthest possible table from the view. We asked to move tables to get a partial view. Restaurant was not overly booked. Waiter was ok, hardly smiled, seemed irritated. Not sure if this is connected to having a Groupon, I think it does slightly. They probably think that because we have coupon we won't tip well. The funny think is, there is a statement on the groupon to tip generously. But what if the service was lousy? For a dinning establishment of that level I think they need to put some restrictions on toddlers freely running around and around and around tables. Felt like I was Mac Donald's.
I always feel that the food should be better. Service gets 10/10, the place it's self 9/10 but the food is more of an 8/10. Which is disappointing considering the price and the expectations. That being said, it still is a great restaurant, one of the best in Burnaby. Great staff and an amazing view.
Panoramic view. We dined here following my oldest daughter's last taekwondo competition. I really enjoyed the subtile flavours of the dishes we ordered and the excellent service. My daughter really enjoyed the selections on the breakfast buffet. Very nice place to bring out of town guests. Update: After having gone a second time, I decided that breakfast or brunch is a far better time to visit rather than dinner. Dinner, good, but not outstanding.
Nice restaurant with a view at burnaby mountain on the way to SFU. With most restaurants with a view, the price of the view is built into their menu pricing. So for the best experience, make a reservation and ask for a table by the window! I found the lamb chop appetizer quite tasty but the steaks my partner and I ordered (rib eye and NY striploin) were subpar. Service was quite good, water was constantly topped up.
Had a really good meal here for dine out Vancouver. Granted I’m sure the menu isn’t their standard one at this time but the food tasted great. Service was really fast as they wanted to turn the tables over for the next group. The views are great from here. The duck and steak we had were well prepared
Totally worth going for the view alone!! Restaurant but has limited menu choices and is pricey. Nice for a special night out but may be worth packing a picnic and checking out the park beside it because the view really is spectacular!!
Included is pics of the roast lamb $45 (super tasty), the curry dish $20 (comes with whole peppers you can add in for super spicy or push aside) and the salmon that I heard was good $36 ish. Prices are from memory so not exact but gives you an idea
Did I mention the view!!! Nothing short of breathtaking.
The best Calamari in town! Beautiful view and hangout even if you're not going to dine at Horizons. Beware if you are going for dinner in heels theres a bit of an uphill walk from the parking lot or get dropped off at the front. But if you want to enjoy the view you'll want some walking shoes or even wedge heels.
It locates at the top of Burnaby Mountain with breathtaking scenery and a rose garden. The service is good and attentive, the food is OK but the price for the quality of food is high. We don't even want to eat dessert as it is $10 for a piece of cake!
It's a good restaurant with a great view, but suffers the same problems as a lot of restaurants with a great view: the food isn't phenomenal, you're paying for the view. It's not bad, but could use with a major update, something more new and modern rather than the somewhat '90s menu they currently have. But the view is amazing, both day and night, and the wine and cocktail list is great!
