Calling all sun seekers and margarita lovers, have we got the place for you! Birdies Eats & Drinks is gearing up to open soon, and Dished came out for a sneak peek at the space and the menu.
Brought to us in partnership with Earls Restaurant Group, Birdies is taking over the space of the premium casual chain’s former Burnaby location at 3850 Lougheed Highway, aka Earls Bridge Park.
Now, Birdies, a new California-inspired restaurant concept, is set to open here on July 7, 2023.
While Birdies Eats & Drinks was developed by a small team at Earls, this concept is completely separate from the much-loved brand.
The new eatery will offer lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch from 10 am to 2 pm.
The restaurant features a spacious lounge, a 20-seat terrazzo countertop bar, and a 75-seat patio complete with a garage-style door.
Expect a room that feels fun and relaxed with lots of natural light designed by Emily Stadnyk and Creative Director Elly Chronakis.
The menu at Birdies was created by Chef David Wong.
It offers shareable dishes like tender Oh So Sticky Korean Ribs, fresh Thai Noodle Salad, and hearty Rigatoni Arrabiata, along with some sweet bites like Drunken Tiramisu made with ladyfingers, chocolate shavings, and chantilly cream.
Deals are also available ahead of schedule here.
Diners can enjoy half-price bubbles on Saturdays and Sundays during brunch hours, along with daily Happy Hour specials.
The beverage menu was created by Beverage Director David Stansfield and Katie Ingram. Sips such as a variety of cocktails, wine, beer, and spirits can be ordered.
The centerpiece of the beverage program here is the variety of margaritas on offer. There’s even something called The Bird Bath, aka freshly squeezed margarita pitchers.
Available in lime, strawberry, and jalapeno, this offering serves two to four people and is the ultimate “I’ll have what’s on the table” incentive.
This concept also features a market-style provision area where people can grab bites and pantry staples to grab and go or order through DoorDash.
The provisions area has a ton of local items, some Earls classics, and an amazing selection of wine and beer for off-sales.
Be sure to mark your calendar and check this place when it opens.
