🔥 Chilliwack Hidden Gem: Bravo Restaurant & Lounge
🍽️ Why It’s a Must-Try ✅ New Canadian Cuisine: French techniques meet Pacific Northwest ingredients—think elevated comfort food. ✅ Shockingly Affordable: $140 for 3 people (no alcohol), with generous portions and premium ingredients. ✅ 7-Year Verdict: “Best Western restaurant I’ve had since moving to Canada!” 🌟 Standout Dishes 1️⃣ Braised Lamb Shank ($36) 🍖 • Fall-off-the-bone tender with saffron risotto. “A steal—buying the raw lamb alone costs $15+” 2️⃣ Pacific Snapper in Tomato-Coconut Broth 🐟🥥 • Buttery fish (2 large fillets) with mussels and crispy rice. Light but flavorful—add salt to taste. 3️⃣ Slow-Cooked Beef Pasta 🍝 (Secret Star) • Unphotographed because we devoured it: Rich, layered flavors—like a hug from a French grandma. 4️⃣ Potato-Leek Soup 🥣 • Classic French starter. Good, but just a soup. 💡 Tips 💰 Value Hack: Go with a group to share mains (portions are huge!). 🍷 Pairing: Their wine list focuses on BC vineyards—ask for local picks. ⚠️ Mussel Note: Skip if you’re picky—they’re just okay here. “Where else can you get saffron risotto + lamb shank for $36? Bravo indeed.” 👏 #ChilliwackEats #FarmToTable #FoodieFind
