Surrey’s bustling Central City neighborhood has just welcomed Skye Avenue Kitchen & Lounge, a new restaurant concept where you can indulge in West Coast cuisine and sip on crafted cocktails, wine, and beer.

Skye Avenue Kitchen & Lounge is conveniently located at 190-13450 102 Ave., right in the heart of Central City and across the street from Surrey Centre Skytrain station. Open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday to Thursday, and until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, this spot is perfect for both the lunch crowd and night owls.

Boasting a massive 6,000 sq. ft. space with 250 seats inside and another 100 outside there’s plenty of room to enjoy Skye Avenue’s casually elegant ambiance, making it a great choice whether you’re there for a laid-back lunch, a fun happy hour, or a sophisticated dinner. And let’s not forget Sunday Brunch!

Leading the front of house is Richard Goodine, a hospitality industry veteran with over three decades of experience.
