Yet another locally famous neighbor of the BELLA development is the Balkan House restaurant located at 7530 Edmonds Street in Burnaby. Owned and operated by Vidomir and his wife, this “old school” European restaurant offers the new diner a completely unique dining experience. One enters the Balkan House and your eyes adjust to the muted lighting and you realize that you are in for a treat as you take in the authentic dark wood surroundings steeped in tradition.
Within moments extremely friendly staff greets you and take you to your table and you scan the menu which is strongly in favour of carnivores. Many specialty dishes catch your eye including the home made sausage (kobasice), smoked pork neck (vjesalica), meat patties (pljeskauica), and a variety of schnitzels. The choices are a little of overwhelming because so many of these items aren’t offered in any restaurant you have ever been in.
The choice is difficult and you select the platter for two but the surprises just keep coming as when it is delivered you realize that the portions are beyond generous and this platter for two is perhaps suited to six as it includes: specialty meats, meat patties, sausages, bacon, shish kebabs, smoked pork neck, and more sausages. The Balkan House truly offers completely satisfying meals for those with good appetites everyday including Sunday where a buffet is offered between 4pm and 8pm for $15.95 for adults and half price for children over 6.
The Balkan House is open for lunch Monday to Friday from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm and then from Monday to Thursday from 4pm to 10pm. The weekend hours are extended with the hours being: Friday from 4pm to 1am, Saturday from 3pm to 1am, and Sunday from 12pm to 10pm. Call for reservations at 604.524.0404 or check out their website at www.balkanhouse.info.
From Edmonds and Canada Way, have yourselves a BELLA day!
**Show Suites opening on July.26 - hope to see you all there!**
