Thank You!

Is it the smell, the texture or the taste that makes a loaf of bread the best? No matter what criteria you use to judge, Cobs Bread is number one. But Chilliwack is not short on quality bakeries; you can pick up a loaf of fresh baked goodness at The Preserved Seed Cafe or Sardis Bakery too.

Jim’s Pizzeria is by far Chilliwack’s favourite place to get a meat and veggie-loaded pizza. From their multiple locations to their tasty menu options, Jim’s is the best. Readers also keep menus for Ricardo’s Pizza and big chain Panago near the phone.

BEST PUB GRUB

a decent take-out menu. For more fishy favourites, you can sail into Victory English Fish and Chips or Capital Restaurant.

Winner: Jolly Miller Finalists: Duke of Dublin Friendly Mikes Hankering for some wings and a beer? Head on down to the Jolly Miller, where pub grub is fantastic. Good quality, nightly specials and a wide variety make the Jolly Miller a great place to go. Or, to meet friends, split some wings and watch the game, you can also swing into Duke of Dublin or Friendly Mikes.

BEST BURGER Winner: White Spot Finalists: A&W Burger King B.C.’s classic burger joint White Spot makes the best burger around with thick patties and a pickle on top. It doesn’t hurt that the burgers come with endless fries either. Other tasty burgers can be found at A & W and Burger King.

BEST FISH / SEAFOOD Winner: C-Lovers Fish and Chips Finalists: Victory English Fish and Chips Capital Restaurant C-Lovers Fish and Chips, Chilliwack’s number one choice for seafood, hosts a hearty all-you-can-eat buffet, serves prawns, oysters and more, and has

B E S T I TA L I A N F O O D Winner: Rustica Ristoranie Italiano Finalists: Bozzini’s Frankie’s Italian Kitchen & Bar When you think of Italian food, you probably think of Rustica Ristoranie Italiano. After all, they use the freshest ingredients, serve up a culinary experience with flare, and just might leave you wishing you had been born in the grand culinary country: viva Italia! For a change of venue, Bozzini’s and Frankie’s Italian Kitchen & Bar also have their rightful place at the top of Italian restaurants in town.

BEST CHINESE FOOD Winner: Capital Restaurant Finalists: Ginkgo Chinese Food Canton Garden Inside a deceptively plain entrance to this downtown restaurant, you will find some of the best Chinese food this side of China. Capital Restaurant serves up piping hot plates of honey garlic ribs, chop suey, and other popular dishes. Of course, Ginkgo Chinese Food or Canton Garden are known for their appetizing options too.

B E S T J A PA N E S E F O O D Winner: Hana Sushi Finalists: 7 Sushi Tokyo Grill

The most-loved of Japanese food is sushi, and Chilliwack’s most-loved place to get sushi is definitely Hana Sushi. Their fresh selection, good prices and friendly staff make Hana Sushi a local fave. Luckily for us, there are numerous good sushi joints in town, including 7 Sushi and Tokyo Grill.

BEST GREEK FOOD Winner: Greek Islands Finalists: Homer’s Restaurant Rendezvous Roasted meats, crisp veggies and, of course, feta, combine together in savoury dishes at Greek Islands. Voted the best Greek food in Chilliwack, this atmospheric restaurant features the finest in Mediterranean cuisine. Other local favourites are Homer’s Restaurant and Rendezvous.

BEST ETHNIC FOOD Winner: Shandhar Hut Finalists: The Reef Chilies Thai Cuisine It could only be Shandhar Hut for first place in best ethnic food. No other restaurant can match this one for taste, selection and atmosphere. The butter

B E S T TA K E - O U T F O O D Winner: Ginkgo Finalists: Shandhar Hut Hungryman’s Pizza Take-out food combines the best of both worlds: someone else cooks, but you can eat it in the comfort of your own home. And for takeout in Chilliwack, the majority vote for Ginkgo. It’s fast, has several convenient locations, and is good value for Chinese food on the run. Shandhar Hut and Hungryman’s Pizza are other top choices.

B E ST B R E AKFA ST Winner: Cookies Grill Finalists: Ricky’s The Pantry They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Cookies Grill would definitely agree; that’s why they make the best breakfast in Chilliwack. Served hot and with a smile, they have all the classics like bacon and eggs, sausages, and omelettes. Cookies Grill can fill up fast in the morning, so luckily for latecomers there’s also Ricky’s and The Pantry to start your morning off right.

Winner: Airport Coffee Shop Finalists: White Spot Earls

BEST FINE DINING

The Airport Coffee Shop is known far and wide for its amazing pie. But now you can go there for a delicious lunch in town too, according to our readers. So order up a meal, but save some room for dessert! Other favourite diners include White Spot and Earls.

BEST DINNER Winner: Bravo Restaurant & Lounge Finalists: Greek Islands Bozzini’s Bravo Restaurant & Lounge is the best place to go for dinner in Chilliwack. The unique menu items – wild salmon filet with thai curry, port-braised bison short-rib with truffled potato mash, tuscan seafood hot-pot, to name a few – are executed to perfection and served with style. There’s also Greek Islands and Bozzini’s for a divine dinner out.

BE ST DE SSE RT Winner: Dairy Queen Finalists: Decades Coffee Club Airport Coffee Shop The best part about dessert at Dairy Queen is you can have it any time of day. From dilly bars to blizzards, locals pick Dairy Queen as the number one choice

Winner: Bravo Restaurant & Lounge Finalists: Jackson’s Steak House Prestons When you go to Bravo Restaurant & Lounge, it’s not just a meal; it’s an experience. Incredible entrees, mouth watering desserts and an intimate atmosphere makes this Chilliwack gem the number one restaurant for fine dining. Jackson’s Steak House and Prestons are other popular night-out destinations.

BEST COFFEE Winner: Decades Coffee Club Finalists: Starbucks Tim Hortons Decades Coffee Club is the number one choice for a good cup of joe. This local cafe has fresh coffee, excellent lattes, desserts that are simply too good to pass up, and relaxed seating to visit with friends or read a good book.

B E ST F I S H I NG S POT Winner: Vedder River Finalists: Fraser River Chilliwack River Chilliwack is well-known as an avid fisherman’s paradise. But did you know that locals vote the Vedder River as the best fishing spot? It’s true, this scenic waterway sees fishermen flock like seagulls to the seashore when the salmon are running. Other popular fishing spots include the Fraser and Chilliwack River.

B E ST PL ACE TO WO RKOUT Winner: Chilliwack Landing Leisure Centre Finalists: She’s Fit YMCA Exercise does not have to be a chore. The best place to work out in Chilliwack is at the Landing Leisure Centre; they make it fun to get fit, with large TVs, music, and a clean workout environment. As a bonus, there’s hot tubs and saunas downstairs in the pool area, great for an after-workout soak. She’s Fit and the YMCA are also good spots to work up a sweat.

BEST GOLF COURSE Winner: Chilliwack Golf & Country Club Finalists: Kinkora Golf Course Cultus lake Golf Club The Chilliwack Golf & Country Club is not only our reader’s pick for the best place to play a round of golf,

it was also Pacific Golf Magazine’s number one pick for public golf courses in B.C. Set in a breathtaking setting, this well-laid out course has hosted major provincial championships and has been around for more than 50 years. Other scenic courses include Kinkora Golf Course and Cultus lake Golf Club.

BEST COMMUNITY CENTRE Winner: Chilliwack Landing Leisure Centre Finalists: Chilliwack Cultural Centre Family Place The Chilliwack Landing Leisure Centre keeps raking in the awards. It’s no surprise this place was voted the best community centre with its wonderful amenities. But the Chilliwack Cultural Centre and Family Place are also community centres to be proud of in Chilliwack.

B E S T P L A C E TO B I R D W ATC H Winner: Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve Finalists: Cheam Wetlands Rotary Trail Birdwatching is a pleasant pastime, one that can be carried out easily at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve. This 130 hectare site located along the Vedder River is home to more than 100 blue heron nests. But don’t stop there, take a Sunday afternoon drive out to the Cheam Wetlands, or walk along the winding Rotary Trail for more birdwatching activity.

BEST WALKING TRAIL Winner: Rotary Trail Finalist: Teapot Hill

The ever-popular Rotary trail, which follows the Vedder River for a whopping 15.5 kilometres, was voted Chilliwack’s favourite walking trail. On a sunny day, or even just a non-rainy day, you can find runners, walkers, people with dogs, kids, strollers and more enjoying the trail. Another popular walk is Teapot Hill, a short and rewarding hike near Cultus Lake.

B E ST PL ACE TO SW I M Winner: Chilliwack Landing Leisure Centre Finalists: Cheam Leisure Centre Cultus Lake It’s great to go for a swim no matter what the weather outside. So the Chilliwack Landing Leisure Centre is open year-round and is definitely the best place to go for a dip. Between the lap pool, the wave pool, the hot tubs and waterslide, you can spend hours at this local treasure. The renovations at Cheam Leisure Centre has made it a popular Sardis swimming pool, and Cultus Lake is a super summertime swim spot.

Winner: Chilliwack Leisure Landing Centre Finalists: Cheam Centre Heritage Park

Winner: Luckakuck and Vedder Finalists: The Evans Roundabout Five Corners

Chilliwack can boast about its beautiful recreation buildings, and the Leisure Landing Centre is at the top of the list. This recreational facility has a great swimming pool, gym and spray park, combining form and function under one roof. The newly-renovated Cheam Centre and local landmark Heritage Park are other recreation buildings to be proud of.

Everybody who lives here knows Luckakuck and Vedder is the worst intersection in Chilliwack. This busy crossroads has seen more than its fair share of fender benders, and the long light cycles can make even the calmest driver edgy. The Evans roundabout and Five Corners are other intersections to avoid whenever possible.
