Restaurants in Walnut Grove

Owner-manager Robert Klaus shows his commitment to sustainable, regional fare from the likes of Fraser Valley and Lake Louise by filling colorful plates on the dark wood tables spotting Lava Room Dining and Lounge. Locally sourced ensembles, such as roasted Fraser Valley free-range chicken breast with mushroom and sage bread pudding or braised Canadian lamb shank, earned the eatery the title "Best New Restaurant Outside Vancouver" from Straight.com's 2011 Golden Plate awards. In the kitchen, the eatery's prized chef sears duck and decks plates with seasonal veggies as servers complement the menu with an evolving selection of British Columbia wines and house cocktails. During clement weather, Robert's team situates patrons on the lush patio where lofty greenery, flowers, and table umbrellas shield diners from roving stegosauruses. Inside, servers scuttle across matte wood floors framed by muted orange walls and pass plates to tables flanked by black leather chairs.

Cat & Fiddle Sports Bar & Grill has been delivering upscale pub food for more than 20 years. Its generous menu proffers signature sandwiches, such as Cat’s pulled-pork sandwich—made from oven-roasted pork sauced with Jameson’s and Guinness and topped with frizzled onions—to pub classics, including the Team Platter, a sampler loaded up with hot wings, dry ribs, and potato skins, to name a few. Friday and Saturday nights, a live DJ fills the nightclub area with bumping beats while patrons dance on the spacious dance floors.
