Delta Casino Burnaby Restaurants
After attending a disease management workshop on dyslipidemia at the Delta Hotel and Grand Villa Casino in Burnaby, my colleagues and I were treated to dinner at the EBO Restaurant downstairs. EBO may sound Japanese but it actually stands for East of Boundary. They are OceanWise, serving only sustainable, ocean-friendly seafood. I have driven past the casino many times but this was my first time going inside. The parkade across the street is free for casino guests – I was surprised, and I didn’t even have to pay and reimburse.
The executive chef is the award winning Chef Daniel Craig (no, not 007!). We had a set menu tonight for our party. Notice under appetizers there’s an & sign? Yes, we had both appetizers! I didn’t like the bread so much. They served roasted garlic & black peppercorn baguette, olive baguette, and sesame crackers. Would have been better if made in the house or at least served warm. I guess they don’t have enough volume to bake their own bread.
| EBO Chowder |
The overall development will have a floor area of 200,000 sq. Ft., with the casino taking up 45,000 sq. The proposed mix of slot machines and table games has not been finalized, but in terms of casino floor area the Delta casino will be roughly half the size of the company’s Grand Villa Casino in Burnaby and Starlight Casino in New Westminster.
The EBO Chowder ($10) consisted of local spot prawns, dungeness crab, roasted corn, and bacon topped with scallion oil. I enjoyed this. It was a good amount of richness and creaminess, the prawns were a plus too. Now that I think of it, I don’t think I found any dungeness crab in my bowl.
With outstanding dining and drinks, live music, and gaming options that include tables, slots and a poker room, Grand Villa Casino offers a 360-degree entertainment experience.

| Green Salad |
| 8oz. Beef Striploin Steak |
The striploin steak ($32) was served on a bed of seasonal vegetables, mashed potatoes, and pomme puree on the side. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare, and it was tender enough. This place really reminds me of Chop Steakhouse and Carver’s Steakhouse in Richmond.
| Mango Cheesecake |
Dessert 1: Mango cheesecake ($10) – layers of mango cheesecake, raspberry & dulce de leche cream, raspberry macaroon. Beautiful presentation, especially with the spiral candy on top. This was the rich type of cheesecake that I like. It was not bursting with mango flavour, just a touch of it and it was not too overpowering. Yum.
| Crème Brulée |
The crème brulée ($10) really was something special. For a while I stopped ordering the crème brulée at restaurants because I thought they tasted the same everywhere and I haven’t come across any that were outstanding. This was until I had the pistachio crème brulée at the Teahouse in Stanley Park. It was oh-so-good. EBO also impressed me. The custard was so smooth and creamy, while the caramelized sugar wasn’t too thick. The pistachio biscotti and tuille complimented it so well.
My colleague ordered some extra food for take-out so that she could bring it back for her kids. She ordered the EBO Chowder and Salmon. When the waitress brought out the order she mentioned that they threw in a complimentary Green Salad for her too! Service was impeccable, ambience was excellent; would be perfect for a romantic date. Or even family because they have a kids menu for under 12, while those under 6 eat for free. You can even try your luck at a game of Texas Holdem post-dinner!
