Trying new restaurants is one of the greatest joys in life, though it can put a bit of a strain on one’s wallet to eat lavish food too frequently! Luckily for the budget conscious foodie, White Rock boasts a wide variety of restaurants offering one-of-a-kind dishes for a reasonable price. Here are our favourite places to try great food on a dime!

Taka’s Sushi: In spite of being one of White Rock’s most renowned Sushi joints, Taka’s is priced quite reasonably while serving delicious food. This local gem puts unique twists on classic rolls and dishes, making it one of our favourite places to have a bite! Our favourite Taka’s roll is the poached salmon roll, full of delicious salmon and herbs for only $5.50! You’ll definitely leave this restaurant satisfied and guilt-free.

Tabletop Crêpes and Games: One of the most fun places to eat in White Rock, Tabletop Crepes not only offers excellent food at a good price, but also provides board games for customers! While it may sound like its limited to coffee house snack food, customers can pick up flat breads, sandwiches and wraps as well as crêpes! Nearly all of the sweet crêpes are under $10.00, and a wide selection of savouries are as well! Our favourites are the Game of S’mores (chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers for $6.95) and the Crêpe Gatsby Crêpe (served with chicken, feta, and mushrooms for $9.95).
