Tradish's The Ancestor Cafe

Luckily it was free entry into the fort, I've been wanting to try Bannock for some time! It was delicious! The jam was unreal! Great healing combinations, the lemonade was great! Pear Camomile Jam, really good! The Blackberry Sage Lemonade was really refreshing!

Super exciting to see an Indigenous café open up in Fort Langley! The only downside is that you need to pay the park fee to get in. The menu is small, but that’s understandable given it’s located within a museum. I appreciated the vibrant Indigenous art and music that helped create a welcoming and culturally rich atmosphere. My favourite item was the lavender baked bannock (pretty much a scone. It had a strong lavender flavour with berry jam baked in. At $13, it felt a bit pricey, but it was large in size. The bannock with lavender jam was so fresh and delicious. The jam wasn’t too sweet and was slightly tart, which I enjoyed. I would’ve loved to buy a jar, but at $20 each, I decided to pass. I also enjoyed a cup of medicinal tea. They provide a pamphlet explaining the benefits of each herb, which added an educational touch to the experience.

We had the pleasure of working with Tradish’s The Ancestor Cafe for a recent catering event, and we couldn't be more impressed. The bannock and house-made jams were absolutely outstanding – rich in flavour, beautifully presented, and truly the star of the show. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about them! Working with Chef Sarah was an absolute delight. She brought not only her culinary expertise but also warmth, professionalism, and deep cultural care to the experience. Her passion for the food and its roots was evident in every bite. We’re incredibly grateful for the partnership and look forward to many more opportunities to work with The Ancestor Cafe again in the future. Highly recommended!

We were here Jan 1st while visiting the fort, we ordered Elk Bannock Taco for 30 bucks and 2 coffees and some cookies, the dish was surprisingly good, never ate something like it, definitely I will try it again.

Stopped by to pick up some of their fabulous plant medicine jams. We ordered a bison cabbage roll soup and bannock to go, 3 jams, 1 bannock and butter and 1 bannock with blueberry lavender jam. Everything was delicious 😋!!

The Chef and her family made us feel so welcome. The food is freshly cooked. Gotta try the bison bannock tacos. And the raspberry dandelion lemonade is the best I have ever had. Andi took home some the plant medicine jam. Everyone at home just loved the jam.

Tradish is one of my favorite places to go especially with family or friends. The atmosphere takes me home as ii walk in the forested area of Fort Langley Historic park then into the wooden Tradish building. I absolutely love the coffee, the juices with herbs make me feel so good. The food is the best with Traditional fried bread best I’ve ever had!! The traditional chili with bison or yam I loved !!! I can’t wait to try their breakfast and more deserts on my next visit. So glad I have a place like this to go and enjoys what a treat!! The staff is always so friendly and sweet and that goes a long way with me these days !! A place I want to return. Thank you Tradish !!

we have had Tradish multiple times now. tonight, we tried the dishes from their food truck. extraordinary. we had bison and elk tacos. the bannock was to die for. the meat was delicious and flavourful. fresh salad greens, tomatoes... I brought some home for my husband and he said it's the best bread he's ever eaten and we have to go back.
