Take Your Tastebuds on a Global Adventure
Food is a delightful way into the hearts, homes, and histories of places you visit and people you meet. Given that about 40 percent of people living in metropolitan Vancouver speak English as a second language, there are many places to dine to enjoy cuisines from other cultures. We’re so fortunate to live in a diverse community of 20,000, with all the benefits that come with that diversity – including great cuisine choices.
Whether you are looking for lunch on the go or a night of fine dining, White Rock’s got you covered with delicious international cuisines. You don’t need to travel far to taste authentic cultural dishes of the world- they’re right here in our community. Here are the best spots to give your taste buds an adventure:
