brunch menu

sunday brunch with my girlies at 1:30 pm, the kind of afternoon stitched together by laughter, easy conversation, and the soft light of early fall. the weather called for rain, but thankfully, mother nature was kind, and the trees outside brushed everything in golds, oranges, browns and reds, a perfect picturesque autumn day. hart house has been part of burnaby's dining scene since 1988, tucked inside a 1906 tudor style home overlooking deer lake. the space has been renovated and feels bright and timeless, tall windows framing the water, a warm wooden bar lined with bottles, a fireplace glowing gently. it's the kind of place that invites you to slow down, put your phone away (except for photos), and just be present. i ordered the shakshuka, bold, smoky sauce, one egg perfectly runny, the other slightly sad and overdone, but the flavours still held together. the potatoes were crisp on the outside and soft inside, just the right balance against the richness of the dish. everyone at the table seemed happy with their choices, smiles and small bites weaving through our conversation. our server was kind and attentive without hovering, topping up our waters frequently, the kind of quiet presence that keeps everything flowing naturally. as we lingered over coffee and shared desserts, sunlight streamed across the table, it felt like more than just brunch. it was a pause, a little reset, friendship, warmth, and that feeling of being exactly where you need to be, grateful for this time together. hart house still knows how to make a meal feel like a memorable moment.

Amazing to go in the spring/summer when the weather is nice and you can sit outside. We came on a Saturday dinner in May and the weather was beautiful, and the lawn is nice with a great view of the lake. Our server was very friendly and nice, and the food was great as well. I recommend the vol au vent and the pavlova!

Came here for Happy Hour on Saturday and it was pretty quiet. We sat in the sun room which was breezy on a hot day which was nice. With four people, we ordered the beef burgers and a Caesar salad. The salad was pretty tasty and we though the burgers were great too (albeit a bit pricey!). The fries that came with the burgers could be better as they seemed a bit hard. Overall, the ambiance was nice and the server came to check on us a few times throughout our meal so that was also very nice.

Seared steelhead entree

A group of us came here for a birthday celebration. I've lived in Burnaby for decades & finally dined here for the first time. Food: 5/5 - some of us had the 3 course dine out Burnaby while the remainder ordered a la carte. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. I had the seared steelhead fish which was cooked to perfection. Checkout the photos of the entrees we much tasted better than the actual photos. Service: 5/5 - it was a sloow start to get even our bread. We had 6:45 pm reservations but didn't eat right away. Our server did a good job asking if we needed anything. Ambiance: 4/5 located in an older style house, we had the room to ourselves. They can seat small or larger groups. Our dining room had a gas fireplace which added ambience to the place. Maybe they were short staffed? There's free parking out front.

Back Ribs

Came for Father's Day celebration. Beautiful house transformed into a restaurant. I love how the heritage character of the house was preserved and yet it didn't look old at all. Serve staff was nice and attentive. Food is good! Especially loved the Back Ribs. I've never enjoyed back ribs because it's usually dry and smothered with BBQ sauce. However this ribs are very tender! Every dish we ordered was good!

We came for dineout Vancouver 2024 and the food was pretty mediocre. The fiancé got a chicken liver pate and the duck -- those were the main thing he got that differed from me -- and he got food poisoning after. Which can happen due to bad luck, but it wasn't the best experience for a date night. I did like my soup though! But my main of the fish was pretty dry and the polenta was very dry and plain to eat.

Steelhead

Braised Lamb Ragu Pappardelle
Cecilia M.

Been at Hart House for a wedding before but it was outdoors so have never been inside. A friend suggested going to Hart House for Dine out so was excited to see what the old manor looks like. First off, you step in and a hearty fireplace greets you. If that doesn't give one a homey feel I don't know what will! The host greeted us with warmth, checked our vaccination records, and we were happy that all the tables were very spaced out so we felt very covid-safe. Our server was very warm, attentive, and friendly. We were off to a good start! For $48/person, my two friends and I decided to all order from the Dine Out menu. The actual dine out menu varied slightly and offered more choices than what was posted on the Dine Out Vancouver website, which was a nice surprise! I ordered the Humboldt squid, Braised Lamb Ragu Pappardelle, and the sticky toffee pudding. The Humboldt squid was a generous portion cooked in a Mediterranean style in which the squid was barely rubbery in texture. Solid start to the meal! Next came the braised Lamb Ragu Pappardelle, which I had previously smelled the delicious aroma entering into the dining room. The dish was a huge portion and the lamb was very hearty but did not taste gamey. It was a great pasta dish and definitely hit the spot. Finishing off the meal was the sticky toffee pudding, which was quite generous in size. I'm usually not much of a dessert person but ate this entire pudding up as it wasn't overly sweet and I loved the sweet and salty flavour contract profile. Very solid 3 course dine out menu and look forward to going back to Hart House again one day!

Located within an Historical house overlooking Deer lake, even without any photographs, you can start to picture the setting! Its the kind of restaurants that brings you to a different time & space once you step inside, stone fireplace welcomes you ( especially in cooler days, it will immediately warms your heart ), Hostesses are all very helpful and gracious, the times that we are here they have all been extra helpful with our request! Menu highlights: - Spaghettini Ala Scoglio ... always al dente and cooked to perfection varies depending on what the Chef has on hand that day ... - Roasted Chicken Parmigiana ... Tender & succulent! A slice of pancetta between the skin & the chicken was the secret of this dish!! Topped with a slice of Caciocavallo Cheese elevated the whole taste sensation! Try it!! - Rosemary Parmesan Fries ... need I say more!! - House Made Ricotta Doughnuts ... make sure you have it!! I like to commend all the service staffs here who are all very professional and efficient, they make you feel relaxed and at home, special mention to Andrew & Alia!!

Chai latte tea

Reservations highly recommended. Parking lot up front of the restaurant. Came here for brunch on a Sunday. We were seated right away. Wait staff is very friendly. Had the house special seafood with squid ink pasta. Very flavorful and generous portions. For dessert, it's limited pumpkin donut with cream cheese dip. Sublime. Dessert #2 cheesecake. Not too dense with yummy sauces.

It's especially good if you have a group of people dining with you. That way you can share different dishes and enjoy lots of different flavors. The Mixed Plate is especially good for that. I have seen from their menu online that they also offer something called Padisha's Table which requires a minimum of 4 adults ordering it, and costs $36 per person. For this visit we had the following: Beyti Sarma Small Mixed Plate Cheese Lovers Pide Lamb Durum Wrap Veggie Guvech Turkish Coffee Turkish Tea The Small Mixed Plate came with a humungous slab of lavash bread! It was crazy how big this piece of bread was. We were a group of 5 people and this Small Mixed Plate by itself could have been our lunch. It was such a huge piece of bread. Sooo good though. They baked it in the oven until it got all nice and puffy, and it came to our table piping hot. I always enjoy this Mixed Plate starter. It comes with such a nice variety of dips. My absolute favorite dip though is the Baba Ghannush. I think next time I eat at this restaurant, I will add on a separate order of the Baba Ghannush so I enjoy more of it than what comes in the Mixed Plate starter! I loved my Veggie Guvech. The veggies were roasted and baked to perfection. I'm someone who likes my food soft, so I was happy to find that the veggies in this dish were nice and soft. The menu description says that this dish comes with Lavash. I didn't see any more Lavash bread come other than the huge slab that came with our Small Mixed Plate. Perhaps they did this on purpose though. The one huge piece of bread is equivalent to several smaller pieces that you might get in other restaurants. I certainly didn't need anything more than the huge piece of bread we'd already been served, so was very glad not to see anything else come with my Veggie Guvech. If you're a cheese love, you can't go wrong with the Cheese Lovers Pide. It's our daughter's "go to" dish when we order from this restaurant. She really loves her cheese! The people who ordered Lamb Durum Wrap said the lamb inside their wraps was very moist and tender. I do recall also hearing good things about lamb dishes from this restaurant in the past, when we ordered takeout from them. The Turkish Coffee and Tea come in some beautifully designed cups. I have travelled to Turkey in the past and enjoyed a hot apple tea in a Turkish Tea cup. The cup that was used here was very much like the cup I drank from in Turkey. I never had coffee when I was in Turkey, but judging from how unique the design of the cup here was, it's probably a very traditional design for a Turkish coffee cup since the Turkish Tea cup was just like the ones I saw in Turkey. Highly recommend this place! There aren't a lot of Turkish restaurants within Metro Vancouver. This place is an absolute gem!

My husband wanted to try the new Shiok Express stall that had recently opened up in the Lougheed…read moremall food court, so we went to have lunch there together. The menu at Shiok Express is limited and heavy on meat, which doesn't work so well for me as I'm Pescatarian. Consequently, we made a stop at Golden Pita just outside Lougheed Mall so that I could grab something there for my lunch while my husband would eat food from Shiok Express. It's a small restaurant but there are a few tables there if you'd like to sit and eat there. They've got one of those things that stands upright and rotates while holding a big chunk of meat on it. That's something I used to enjoy back when I was a meat eater. It definitely caught my husband's eye. If he hadn't already been set on eat at Shiok Express that day, I think he would have ordered some kind of meat dish from Golden Pita, so he could have the meat carved freshly from that rotating thingy...(I really need to figure out the proper word for that thingy!) I ordered the Vegan Special which came with 3 pieces of falafel, a spinach pie, stuffed grape leaf, tabbouleh salad, rice, pita bread and hummus and tahini dips. This was a wonderful meal and I highly recommend it. Even the rice was tasty. This one order gives you so much variety. The only thing I didn't like was the tabbouleh salad. There was too much parsley in this salad. Everything else was delicious and I really hope to go back there again sometime! Service: Fair Parking: Plentiful and free. Location: Convenient. Lots of shops and places to eat both at Lougheed Mall and in the surrounding area.

Excellent tasting foods created with love…read more We just had two funerals supplied with this food all were quite happy to enjoy the Mediterranean flavours Hats off to the chef

I definitely could have taken half home and still be full. The plate comes with chicken shawarma on rice with a pita/saj, and Tzatziki sauce, salad, and hummus. The chicken and rice were flavourful! But the chicken was too dry for my soft mouth. Hummus had a little too much olive oil for my taste (at first bite it tasted like I was eating actual olives, which I don't like) but was overall creamy. I didn't like the salad or Tzatziki sauce but that's just my flavour profile! The salad itself was really fresh and vibrant and Tzatziki sauce is probably as normal. Service is much like a food court. Self-serve, self-seat, no water provided. It's a small restaurant with around six tables.

After I ordered my chicken shawarma plate, the counter guy was just walking around inside of counter. Other lady was preparing my Baba ganoush in the kitchen area.
