The Pear Tree Restaurant - Burnaby

I absolutely adore the new menu at this restaurant since it reopened. The variety of fresh ingredients, paired with the chef's skill and creativity, made our meals absolutely delicious. I highly recommend trying the wine pairings, as each dish is expertly matched with a complementary drink. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Be sure to make your reservation soon to support your local restaurants!

This was my second time visiting the restaurant, and it was every bit as good as the first. Food is a mix of French and West Coast, with some classic dishes like duck breast and lamb shank. For this visit, I had the 3 course dinner menu for $69. It started with baked kusshi oysters, a bit different from raw shucked but still very fresh and delicious. For main I had a creative dish of partridge (at Pear Tree, get it? , while my wife had duck breast. Both dishes were excellent, well presented and tasty. For dessert I had chocolate mouse cake with rhubarb sorbet. Even though menu was relatively small, every dish was superbly executed. The only point of improvement would be I thought the service was not very attentive, and a bit lacking for a fine dining restaurant.

They accommodated our last minute reservation and didn't make us wait for all guests to show up before seating us, as some restaurants do. Most importantly, the food was delicious, including all the garnishes. Some of the items on the menu were available in both appetizer size and entree size. We all ate everything on our plates.

Had the lobster cappuccino and scallop risotto to start. Amazing flavours, great plating and good sized portion for an appie. Mains were very good. The chef accommodated a small request no problem. Service was attentive, timely and professional. Highly recommend going to this Burnaby staple! Excellent place for date night or celebrations! I will definitely return and recommend to everyone.

I recently visited Pear Tree for a birthday celebration and was not disappointed. The menu was great, starting with their delicious signature pear salad. I ordered the scallop risotto as my main course and was impressed with the generous portion of 8 perfectly cooked scallops. My friend ordered the duck, which was cooked to a perfect medium rare. The dessert, particularly the lemon tart, was the only disappointment as it was a bit flat compared to other places I have tried. The cocktail list was standard but still enjoyable. I would recommend Pear Tree for a nice meal out with a small group, as it is a cozy, small restaurant.
