I assumed it would just be farm cafes and diners (which are great, don’t get me wrong), but one night we were staying near Clayburn and decided to try something more upscale. Found this cozy little bistro with local wines, handmade pasta, and the kind of attention to detail I usually only get in downtown restaurants. Totally changed how I look at Fraser Valley dining. Since then, I’ve been bookmarking spots for future weekends. It helps a lot to keep tabs on what’s out there — this is what I use: Fine Dining Restaurants in Fraser Valley. It’s got listings broken down by area, and you can tell which places are legit by how many people mention them. I always look for menus that shift with the season — if a place is still pushing the same salmon risotto in July that they had in December, I’m suspicious. One thing I’ve learned is that some of the best meals I’ve had out there come from places you’d totally drive past if you didn’t know better. Like, actual chefs running their own show, not corporate chains. And a lot of them source locally, which is always a plus for me.
