Fine Dining in the Burbs
It’s tough for us suburbanites to find tasty fine dining options without having to drive into downtown Vancouver. We are foodies and are always on the look out for delicious options close to home.
A new favourite of ours even though it has been open for years is Chameleon in Maple Ridge. It’s an upscale option that’s a quick drive or Uber ride from the Tri-Cities. The space is handsome and offers a second floor loft perfect for private parties.
Liquids
Their cocktail creations are a great start to the evening. The regular drink menu is delicious but don’t be scared to go for their featured cocktail. In our experience it is a good bet that the bartender creation for that day is going to be amazing.
They also have an excellent wine list so there will be something for every taste and budget there. You can order by the glass or by the bottle.
Solids
It’s a farm to table approach to their cuisine. The appetizers and mains on offer are varied and all delicious. They cover seafood, meat and vegetarian options so dining with a group is easy, there is something for everyone.
Don’t skip dessert! They change the sweet offerings depending on season but we find they are always worth a final bite to finish off the evening.
Prix Fixe Menu
A great way to try Chameleon out on a first visit is the prix fixe menu. It’s just $45 for a three course meal. Starter, main course and a dessert. Add a wine pairing per course for just $15 more. This is offered Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays so make a reservation and prepare to be impressed.
