We had a great turnout of residents from our properties in Chilliwack/Sardis: Skynest and Malloway Village, Englewood Courtyard and Englewood Village.

Dining Out Around the World - on Vedder Road!

By Ammar Nabod • November 28, 2023
There are so many places to get awesome food in Sardis, that you don’t need to go far to experience great eats just a few minutes away from Skynest. As well as quick solutions for lunch or dinner, there are a number of restaurants on Vedder Road alone, that serve up food from around the world (or closer to home) so you have an incredible variety of places to go with friends or family, or with your new Skynest neighbours! We’ve made a list of just a small selection of local eateries that have received great reviews online - decide what type of food you want to eat, and grab your coat! Frankies Italian 7350 Vedder Rd Frankie’s Italian is a local staple, and has been serving up great Italian dishes for years. Open for lunch or dinner, this a fantastic location for family get-togethers, a romantic dinner, or even dinner for one, because the staff will take such good care of you! As well as a kids menu and more family-friendly dishes, you can enjoy their beef carpaccio and sauteed garlic prawns as part of your sumptuous dinner! Coconut Thai #6 - 7355 Vedder Rd Coconut Thai is one of those gems that serve up delicious food in an unassuming location you might sometimes overlook. The reviews say it all - this is an authentic menu that covers a wealth of Thai cuisine: red curry, soup, pad thai - and it does it really well! Opening at 10:30am daily, this place is ready to make lunch and dinner for you, and it’s located right across Vedder Road from Frankie’s Italian! Butter Chicken House 5669 Vedder Rd If it’s Indian food you’re craving, look no further than Butter Chicken House, right beside the Royal Canadian Legion. Open seven days a week, this restaurant offers a breakfast menu (it’s open at 11am Monday to Saturday, and Sunday from noon), but at dinner time, you can expect more traditional Indian fare, including of course - BUTTER CHICKEN! You can also get Butter Chicken House food in the comfort of your Skynest home - order ahead to pick up, or go to the food apps to get it delivered right to your door. Jolly Miller Pub 5865 Vedder Rd The Jolly Miller is an institution, and for lunch or dinner, you’ll find locals and others alike enjoying this cozy pub atmosphere, with a great range of delicious food to accompany your pint/wine/soft drink. While you can find traditional burgers and pizzas on the menu, there are also quesadillas, brunch, tacos, pierogies and more - as well as a turkey dinner around the festive period! The Jolly Miller is a great place to socialize and meet new people as well, with themed nights and special offers on food and drink, depending on the day of the week.
