Local Restaurants
|
A & A Burger Bar - a Prince George classic with the best burgers in northern BC (possibly the
world). | | Amigo’s Taco Shop
- The main reason to covet an office at UNBC's BMO building downtown.
With this fabulous cantina a block away, you'll never want to brown bag
it. | Cimo Mediterranean Grill - We highly recommend the calamari, or the
angel hair pasta with shrimp, or the special pasta with tomatoes and mild goat
cheese, or...
| | Mai Thai - Wide assortment of scrumptious Thai dishes served up quick and hot. Any of the curries is great. | | Noodles -
Original, handmade pastas and sauces. You can taste the
freshness. The whole wheat fettuccine is tender, delicious, and
healthy. | |
North 54 - Fine dining, elegant atmosphere. Good dry gin martini and a Tiramisu to die for. | |
Ric’s Grill - Famous for prime rib and other juicy morsels. Don't miss out on the daily cheesecake offering. | | Spicy Greens - Another great Indian treat. Your taste buds will be popping. | |
Suzuran Japanese Restaurant - Each bite is a new taste sensation. Rainbow roll or kamikaze maki, anyone? | Tandoori Restaurant - Yum. Indian cuisine. Butter chicken. Enough said.
| Temptations Restaurant - Fine Dining Bistro, serving noveau classic cuisine made fresh from local
ingredients.
| |
Thanh Vu Restaurant - You'll be saying thank you after eating here. Vietnamese. Start with the spring rolls. | | The Waddling Duck - Old English Pub Style Restaurant. Roasted soy beans are a palate pleaser. | |
White Goose - Voulez vous manger avec moi, ce soir? Fine French cuisine. Sorry, no fries. | |
Winston's Dining Room - French cuisine with western flair. Chefs wow both the palate and the senses with table-side cooking. All organic ingredients with many organic wines. |
Local Cafes & Coffee Shops
| Cafe Voltaire
- Sip a soy latte while enjoying your latest read from Books &
Company or taking in the latest jazz session. Probably where Chapters and Starbucks got the idea. | Kizmet Kafe - There's a big city feel to this retro coffee shop. All food is home cooked on site without preservatives. Try the cabbage roll and the latte.
| | Tastebuds - Stop by for a treat before taking in the latest flick. | Zoe's Java House - Need a pick me up after all that
shopping on Specialty Avenue? Let the fruit juice blenders refresh you.
