Welcome to The Pen!

Click to view larger viewIf you are looking for an excellent restaurant, in a unique setting, with atmosphere -- look no further.

Click for larger viewThe Pen Cafe (simply called "The Pen" by those in the know) is located in a part of the historic prison - the B.C. Penitentiary. The owners, John and Kerry Klockow, have managed to create an exquisite restaurant, but have kept some of the atmosphere of the building with its turrets and walls that are several feet thick.

The Pen is sort of hidden in a quiet neighbourhood in New Westminster, overlooking the Fraser River. Yet it is only a few minutes away from the heart of the city.

For our regular customers, note that we have a new entrance now!
