Britannia Brewing Steveston

Went to dinner with a friend taking advantage of the special Dine out Vancouver promotion. This was our first time. The inside of the bar/restaurant is quite small with only a handful of tables, bar seating and a unique "community" table. There is a large outside patio when the weather is good, but it was below freezing so it was closed. Despite being small the place feels cozy and welcoming. There wasn't any tables available so we sat at the community table for a short wait until one become available, a corner one. Dine Out has a set menu for a fixed price with 3 choices for appetizers, 3 for entrees and 3 for dessert. We shared, so we could have multiple selections. Appetizers we got the Buttermilk chicken and the Meatballs. The chicken was good, but the Meatballs were amazing, very tasty would a delicious tomato sauce on it. For entrees we had the Wild Coho salmon, and Crab/Prawn Spaghettini. Both were very tasty and flavorful with the spaghettini especially good. Dessert was Poached Pear and Sticky Toffee Pudding. The pear was good, but preferred the stick toffee pudding for more flavor. Drinks had the Butterfly Sour and Strawberry Fritz non alcohol drink. To top it off have hot chocolate which is a bit unusual with hot milk and a separate chocolate piece on a stick you put in to melt and stir yourself. Delicious Service was very friendly, prompt and welcoming, and the cost was very reasonable, especially with the Dine out special. Definitely will be going back again.

Stopped by on the first day of Vancouver Dine Out to check out their lunch menu. I’ve lived in Richmond for a while now and had no idea this place existed. The vibe here is super chill—like a trendy, low-key spot where you can catch up with your friends over brunch and gossip about how broke you are post-Christmas. The servers were awesome, super attentive, and even offered us fresh cutlery after every course. Appetizer: The Fried Eggplant? Not bad. The inside was soft and mushy, while the outside stayed crispy. But it was sliced so thin that I barely got any eggplant—it was mostly the crispy batter. The candied lemon, though, was a star. It brought a nice zesty kick to every bite and helped cut through the greasiness. The Buttermilk Fried Chicken came with thigh meat, which is always the go-to—juicy, tender, and boneless. The batter was crispy in the dry spots, where it wasn't soaked in that sauce. It made the skin melt and was flaking off. Tasty, but messy. Honestly, I’d prefer the sauce on the side so the chicken could stay crispy. Main: The Dine Out Burger? Pretty decent, like your typical gourmet restaurant burger. The brioche buns were soft and toasty, the tomatoes were perfectly ripe and sweet, and the lettuce was crisp enough to make a rabbit jealous. These three ingredients? Picture Perfect. But then there was the bacon. Thick-cut sounds great, but it felt like I was wrestling it with my teeth—way too chewy. The sauce was a nice aioli. The mushrooms were meaty and perfectly cooked, and the sautéed onions added a nice touch (and apparently, they’re not part of their regular burgers). It added that sweetness to contrast the saltiness from the meats. Unfortunately, the patty was overcooked and a bit dry. It was like the spirit of the burger disappeared—kind of like my holiday savings. All the flavors worked together so beautifully, but the dryness of the patty was hard to ignore. Pro tip: this is a two-hands burger. Forget the knife and fork unless you’re ready for a fight with that bacon. Oh, and the fries? They are like McDonald’s, but crispier. The Crab & Prawn Spaghettini had a surprising kick despite only having chili flakes. But you have to mix it like your life depends on it before taking a good bite. My first few bites were bland, like boiled spaghetti. But after giving it a proper toss (or three), the flavors finally came through. That said, the chili flakes flavour really took over, and the crab and shrimp tasted like they are NPC in games. Dessert: The Poached Pear was okay but definitely not soft enough. I had to use a knife to cut it apart. The ice cream tasted like something you’d grab from the “premium” frozen ice cream aisle at the grocery store—not bad, but not memorable either. The Sticky Toffee Pudding? Sweet. Like, really sweet. Sweeter than the first time I tried to be romantic by giving roses to my mom for Mother's day. Too much for me, but I can see how someone with a major sweet tooth would love it. I will say that the mix of textures between the layers in one bite was pretty nice and kept it interesting. Fun spot overall, but there were definitely some hits and misses. Would I come back? Maybe...

If you want to have a good time with friends and also eat deliciously and inexpensively, then this is the place for you. Good service and incredibly tasty any item on the menu. Creme brulee is a separate true love.

Great experience here. I ordered the poached peach granola bowl - the portion was huge, delicious, and very reasonably priced. Iced latte tasted burnt though. But most importantly, they are pet-friendly. My friend, her puppy, and I sat on the patio on a rainy October day. Their patio is covered and heated, which is great even in lousy weather.

Great (and strong) cocktails, a diverse range of beers, and tasty food! Definitely worth the visit when in Steveston. I was pleasantly surprised by how large the serving of truffle fries was. Really lovely patio space as well. Would go back!

I'm disappointed with the food and the service at this establishment. We got take out on friday night and ended up finding a hair in my food🤢. The service was poor and the waitress was rude. I explained to her that I found hair in the fish and chips but she didn't seem to be very caring. I asked for a refund and my money back.After I was given the cash I was informed that she cannot remake it. It's quite ridiculous that I have to spend my time coming back with the food and you guys can't even have a bother to make it right? Why should I even bother giving a tip and spending my money here if this is how they treat customers? This is not the first time we have dealt with a rude waitress. I do not recommend coming here at all! I suggest going elsewhere in the village where the service is better.

I’ve been here a lot of times with my family. Foods are always great and so does the services. However this time when I went with my friend, the service is very lacking. The server might be new? I’ve been trying to catch her attention to order more beer, she was kind of day dreaming. Never pay attention to us. Then we wanted something else, waved a couples of time and still she couldnt see us. Then Another server who wasnt the one serving our table, saw us and helped us. Then, even when we r done trying to get the bill, i have to catch her attention for over 5mins in order for her to realize, while she wasnt even busy on anything else but just stood there.

Casual cafe. Bright with indoor and outdoor seating. Nice servers. Healthy food menu available! Food was fresh and looked like care was taken in presentation. We were so hungry and the food was so good I forgot to take pics of my companions’ food until they were partway done. Oops.
