White Rock

About the restaurant

Uli's Restaurant is a White Rock institution. Opened in 1986 by Uli Blume, it was one of White Rock's original waterfront restaurants and quickly became a favourite among locals for its great food and friendly atmosphere. Uli's son Tyson took over operations in 2008 and he picked up right where his father left off – providing the White Rock waterfront with a fun and relaxed place to enjoy a vibrant atmosphere, stunning water views, refreshingly simple food, an extensive international beer list, and a diverse selection of wines. Chef Jennie Silk is also making quite an impression on locals as they flock for her impeccable local flavours on the menu.

Our favourite Greek restaurant. We've eaten here several times on special occasions and have never been disappointed. My wife had the roast lamb and I had the lamb souvlaki. Exquisite.

My husband and I had dinner here on Saturday night. We were skeptical about the food, as I have read a couple bad reviews online. However, we wanted some live music so we gave it a shot. Our server was called Felicia and she absolutely phenomenal. I have a severe nut allergy and she reassured me that the kitchen could accommodate all allergies. She also recommended some items from the menu in detail and helped us with our selection. She was very knowledgeable about the food and drink menu and was helpful with any questions. She was the best server we have experienced in a long time. I ordered the chicken and brie sandwich and my husband ordered the burger. We were both blown away by the food. It was delicious and fresh. We learned that at Kingfisher they make these delicious sauces in house. The focaccia bread that my sandwich came on was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience here and the live music was also wonderful. There was a great atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back. We recommend everyone give this place another chance. Maybe they had a rough patch post covid, but from what we could see this place is an excellent choice for dining in Maple Ridge.
