The 99'er Restaurant
 The
99'er restaurant is located right next to the Britannia Tea Room.
Looking out over the beautiful Howe Sound, with a forest
behind, it's what to look for if you want a great view. Every meal, from
the delicious Hawaiian Burger, to the yummy 99'er french fries, is all
homecooked, no frozen foods. You've got the choice to eat outside on the
deck, when it's a hot sunny day, or inside, when you want to warm up.
Unlike most of the other businesses in Britannia Beach,
the 99'er stayed open throughout the flood of 1991, to keep serving the
community. They were able to do this because all that got flooded was the
basement. In The summer of 1996, the movie
crew of Excess Baggage, starring Alicia Silverstone, used the restaurant
to film. This was one of many different times when Britannia Beach was
used as a movie set. |

BRITANNIA HOUSE
Restaurant & Tea Room
A 1905 heritage house, owned by the BC Museum of Mining,
is home to Britannia House Restaurant & Tea Room. Nestled in amongst
the trees on highway 99, the sweeping view from Britannia House encompasses
the waters of Howe Sound, snowy mountain peaks and evergreen cloaked hills.
In the winter travelers can enjoy a delicious meal
by a cozy crackling wood-burning stove; and in the summer a shady patio,
surrounded by trees and rocky bluffs, is the ideal spot for relaxing break
on the often busy road to Whistler.
Meals are prepared from scratch and thus takes a few minuets longer
to serve, but most agree its well worth the wait. Breakfast is available
all day, lunch from 11 am - 5 p.m. with homemade soups, burgers and more,
and of course our specialty, Afternoon Tea is served 2:00 p.m. to 5:00
p.m., There is something for everyone on the menu at Britannia House Restaurant
and Tea Room. |

Britannia Creek General Store
 In Febuary of 2000 the store was closed down and the era of the Britannia Creek General Store was over.
In March of 2000 the store was open for bussiness again but this time it
was under the hand of Larry from next door at the Native Arts Shop. The
antiques that used to amaze so many visitors are now gone and replaced
by a large selection of goods including kids toys and colouring books(good
for those long trips you highway 99) to camping gear. Everything has changed...the
walls that used to be original wood from the theatre days are now painted
white and there are more trinkets to buy and no antiques. But Larry does
have some antique coins that are located at the till area. Like almost everything
in Britannia Beach, the Store is in a Historic building. An old movie theater
to be exact. The cement enclosure that was used as a projection room, is
still in the top.
