B E S T L O A F O F B R E A DWinner: Cobs BreadFinalists: The Preserved Seed Cafe

Sardis BakeryIs 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.

B E S T P I Z Z AWinner: Jim’s PizzeriaFinalists: Ricardo’s Pizza

PanagoJim’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.



AA~List

B E S T P U B G R U BWinner: Jolly MillerFinalists: Duke of Dublin

Friendly MikesHankering 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.

B E S T B U R G E RWinner: White SpotFinalists: A&W

Burger KingB.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.

B E S T F I S H / S E A F O O DWinner: C-Lovers Fish and ChipsFinalists: Victory English Fish and Chips

Capital RestaurantC-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

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

B E S T I T A L I A N F O O DWinner: Rustica Ristoranie ItalianoFinalists: Bozzini’s

Frankie’s Italian Kitchen & BarWhen 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.

B E S T C H I N E S E F O O DWinner: Capital RestaurantFinalists: Ginkgo Chinese Food

Canton GardenInside 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 P A N E S E F O O DWinner: Hana SushiFinalists: 7 Sushi

Tokyo GrillThe 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.

B E S T G R E E K F O O DWinner: Greek IslandsFinalists: Homer’s Restaurant

RendezvousRoasted 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.

chicken is savoury, the tandoori fish is sublime, and the chana masala is perfectly spiced. Chilliwack has a surprising array of delicious ethnic options, including Caribbean fare at The Reef and Chilies Thai Cuisine.

B E S T T A K E - O U T F O O DWinner: GinkgoFinalists: Shandhar Hut

Hungryman’s PizzaTake-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 S T B R E A K F A S TWinner: Cookies GrillFinalists: Ricky’s

The PantryThey 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.

B E S T L U N C HWinner: Airport Coffee ShopFinalists: White Spot

EarlsThe 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.

B E S T D I N N E RWinner: Bravo Restaurant & LoungeFinalists: Greek Islands

Bozzini’sBravo 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.

B E S T D E S S E R TWinner: Dairy QueenFinalists: Decades Coffee Club

Airport Coffee ShopThe 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

for dessert. But not surprisingly, Decades Coffee Club and the Airport Coffee Shop are close behind.

B E S T F I N E D I N I N GWinner: Bravo Restaurant & LoungeFinalists: Jackson’s Steak House

PrestonsWhen 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.

B E S T C O F F E EWinner: Decades Coffee ClubFinalists: Starbucks

Tim HortonsDecades 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. Other coffee hot spots include the big chains of Starbucks and Tim Hortons.

B E S T F I S H I N G S P O TWinner: Vedder RiverFinalists: Fraser River

Chilliwack RiverChilliwack 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 S T P L A C E T O W O R K O U TWinner: Chilliwack Landing Leisure CentreFinalists: She’s Fit

YMCAExercise 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.

B E S T G O L F C O U R S EWinner: Chilliwack Golf & Country ClubFinalists: Kinkora Golf Course

Cultus lake Golf ClubThe 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.

B E S T C O M M U N I T Y C E N T R EWinner: Chilliwack Landing Leisure CentreFinalists: Chilliwack Cultural Centre

Family PlaceThe 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 T O B I R D W A T C HWinner: Great Blue Heron Nature ReserveFinalists: Cheam Wetlands

Rotary TrailBirdwatching 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.

B E S T W A L K I N G T R A I LWinner: Rotary TrailFinalist: Teapot HillThe 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 S T P L A C E T O S W I MWinner: Chilliwack Landing Leisure CentreFinalists: Cheam Leisure Centre

Cultus LakeIt’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.

Heritage ParkChilliwack 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.

B E S T I N T E R S E C T I O N T O A V O I DWinner: Luckakuck and VedderFinalists: The Evans Roundabout

Five CornersEverybody 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.

Our readers bragged about the mountains, the lakes, the people, and of course the corn as some of the best reasons to live here. Others maintain it’s the affordable housing, the small-town feel and the strong community spirit. No matter what your reason, Chilliwack is a great place to call home.
