Restaurants in Sedro-Woolley

Nestled alongside the lapping waters of White Rock Beach, Slainte By the Pier serves a host of authentic Irish and West Coast fare forged from locally sourced ingredients including Salt Spring Island mussels, local greenhouse tomatoes, and wild sockeye. Behind the slate-blue walls of the dining room, the kitchen bustles as culinary wizards whip up Irish staples such as fresh fish and chips fried into a golden state by all-natural lightning bolts. Musicians take to the restaurant’s stage on weekends, employing instruments such as guitars, bodhráns, and mellifluous vocal cords to tickle ears with Irish and folk music. On balmy evenings, Slainte also offers alfresco dining on their outdoor patio, which basks in the rays of a retreating sun while surrounding trees make nonchalant attempts to steal bites of dessert from unattended plates.

A cozy picture of Tudor revivalist design, the lakeside Hart House Restaurant purveys creative menus full of exquisite dinner, lunch, and brunch delicacies lauded for their casual elegance. At the helm of these sophisticated dishes is executive chef Alana Peckham, who grew up in Vancouver and applies her knowledge of Pacific Northwest ingredients when crafting dishes such as steelhead salmon with green beans and a pea purée and Fraser Valley duck breast. During warmer months, guests can enjoy Chef Peckham's creative fare on the patio with a Pimm's Cup or a local wine before cracking into an espresso crème brûlée.

Seasonal events, such as the Lobster Supper, celebrate fresh, local fare. Hart House's glass-walled lakeside cottage, sprawling green backyard, and second-storey private rooms also make it an ideal location for business meetings, weddings, and reenactments of The English Patient.

From The Glen Bar & Grill's outdoor patio at Fraserglen Golf Course, diners feasting on a menu of hearty clubhouse fare can steal glimpses of weeping willows leaning over cattail-lined lakes and manicured greens petering off into rugged farmlands and the mountains beyond. These idyllic greens not only lure wandering eyes with breath-taking views, but also unfurl scenic pastures where visitors can walk off recently devoured burgers, sandwiches, and wraps or make snow angels in sand traps when overcome by food euphoria.

Behind their storefront's wood sign and bright red door, Jimmy Flynn's Celtic Snug's bartenders pour frothy pints of Guinness to complement hearty Irish stews, seafood, and meat crafted fresh daily. Each morning, chefs whip up black pudding for traditional Irish breakfasts and then use Guinness to enhance the flavours and karaoke confidence of later day offerings such as barbecue burgers. In addition to draft brews, the culinary crew can also fill glasses with international white and red wines.

Creamy textured walls, Celtic-themed paintings, and panoramic views of the White Rock Harbour wrap around the eatery's cozy confines. The dining room also hosts occasional performances from live musicians and special events such as whisky tastings with James Joyce's ghost.

For nearly a quarter of a century, Oliver Twist Pub has provisioned patrons with to-go and bar-side libations alongside feasts of eclectic pub fare. Inside the welcoming two-storey pub or on the open-air patio, patrons sup on hearty burgers, steak, and seafood, or pastas and rice bowls inspired by cuisines from around the world, washing down meals with frosty brews on tap. As the Canucks complete blind passes and flawless toe loops and football and baseball players battle it out on the nine HDTVs, the air buzzes with the excitement of nighttime activities ranging from karaoke and DJ sets to poker tournaments and music bingo.

Oliver Twist’s attached liquor store equips on-the-go customers with a full range of lottery prizes, wines, liquors, and a walk-in chilled beer cave that mimics the Neanderthal frozen brew palaces of the Ice Age.

Floor-to-ceiling windows make up the entire front wall of Jerusalem Grill, allowing sunlight to creep in across pale yellow walls and a spread of Mediterranean fare encased in stainless-steel containers. Within each freshly filled basin a new treat, such as hummus or crisp veggies, waits to top chicken, beef, and lamb-packed pitas or crisp falafel. Pita-free platters hoist beef shish kebabs resting beside homemade fries, or a spread dubbed the family meal packed with an entire grilled or fried chicken, garlic dip, and enough pita to insulate the tool shed.
