Same Fantastic Location, Patio and Dining Room – Exciting New Chef, Forno Oven and Menu
It’s hard to improve on a classic, especially one that features rosy summer sunsets on an idyllic patio overlooking ocean, mountains and Stanley Park. But Chef Dino Renaerts and the ownership team have done it with Beachside Forno – a new twist on an old favourite.
Renaerts stepped into his role as Executive Chef and Co-owner at sister restaurant Fraîche in March and has just opened the doors to Beachside Forno following a kitchen renovation. Like the new name states, the updated concept revolves around the Forno oven, inspiring a casual menu of expertly made pizzas, seafood, salads and pastas, as well as killer cocktails and a great wine list.
Beachside Forno pays homage to it’s much loved original, the long-running, Beachside Café . ” We want to be Ambleside’s go-to restaurant for locals and visitors,” says Renaerts. “Beachside Forno has an inviting room, a patio to die-for and a menu that reflects the way people love to eat.” It’s simple, seasonal food done very well in a comfortable space for a great value.
The menu offers tasty Forno baked pizzas, classic fish and chips, seafood chowder, an oyster Po’ Boy sandwich as well as a variety of toothsome pastas, healthy ‘big salads’ and a few other specialties.
With summer in sight and the patio doors wide open, it’s the perfect time for the refreshed seaside eatery to make its debut. Beachside Forno opened last weekend and welcomes diners in for lunch, dinner, drinks and weekend brunch. Beachside Forno is a fun and friendly casual dining experience that will capitalize on the unbeatable seaside location and the talented chef’s local, regional and sustainable sensibilities. With its ideal location for picnics, playing and power walks, Beachside Forno’s “To Go” program will also be launching soon. Stay tuned for more details.

Just tried out Beachside Forno for the first time. Great ambiance, amazing view and ultimately, fantastic food. The most delectable fish and chips i have ever had! Past restaurants at this location have struggled, but the Beachside Forno may be a summer hot spot for attracting guest for food and drinks after a day at Ambelside. The question now….can they market it to the right demographic.
