The Gourmet Review

The Giraffe Restaurant, in White Rock (British Colmbia), Canada, is an intimate gourmet delight just over the US border. The exterior is covered with ivy and the protected outdoor dining area has both overhead heaters and cozy blankets for guests. Or choose the indoor dining with white tablecloths, simple flower centerpieces and enjoy beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean.

The food has a wonderful French influence (try their seafood crepes) and every dish on the menu is fabulous. Executive Chef Dave Chow has been serving his crab won ton appetizer with mustard sauce for 15 years!

3 cans   canned crab (approximately 8 oz) or fresh
