Nestled in the heart of Fort Langley, Beatniks Bistro is more than just a dining spot—it's a cherished community hub that beautifully marries history, hospitality, and culinary excellence.

A Rich Heritage

Housed in the historic Moorhouse residence built in 1933, Beatniks Bistro stands as one of Fort Langley's oldest buildings. After years of vacancy, the Choquette family transformed this heritage home into a vibrant bistro, opening its doors on the May Day long weekend in 2008. Their vision was to create a welcoming space where people could enjoy great food, music, and a sense of community .

Culinary Delights

Beatniks Bistro offers a menu that emphasizes fresh, locally sourced ingredients, catering to a variety of dietary preferences with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Signature dishes include the artisan salad, beef dip, and gnocchi, while the cocktail list features favorites like the Low Rider and Purple Haze sangria.

Ambiance and Entertainment

The bistro's cozy interior and expansive patio provide the perfect setting for any occasion, from casual lunches to romantic dinners. Live music every Thursday night adds to the vibrant atmosphere, making it a popular spot for both locals and visitors.

Community Engagement

Beyond its culinary offerings, Beatniks Bistro is deeply rooted in the Fort Langley community. The establishment supports local charities and sources ingredients from nearby producers like Roots and Wings Distillery and Krause Berry Farms, reflecting its commitment to community and sustainability.
