Inspection summary

Gyro Beach Cafe has been inspected 8 times by Interior Health Authority since May 21, 2014. The most recent inspection, on June 29, 2026, found no infractions.

4 of 8 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 0 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Protecting food from contamination, Cleaning and sanitizing and Food temperature control.

Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 2, 2025. For example: 5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 2, 2025. For example: 3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 2, 2025. For example: 2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?

  • PestsHigher risk

    Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

    Recorded once on July 6, 2022. For example: 2 Are proper pest control measures in place on the premises?

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

    Recorded once on July 6, 2022. For example: 7 Are there handwashing stations available and properly supplied?

    Welcoming and friendly staff. Hardly any wait for the food no longer than 6 minutes, very lovely view of the lake and the owner was very cheerful. Hardworking people and the food was delicious!

  • NotYourTypicalFilipino BC

    Extremely rude costumer service, probably doesn’t know how to give change thats why he wants exact change only. He even yells at my son when he was touching the so called fence he got. Attitude is beyond worse. Check the other reviews.

  • Jan J

    This beach is lovely. It can be very busy but the breeze from the water on a hot day is heavenly, the swimming area was nice and clean and the atmosphere is great and it’s very close to restaurants for when you get hungry or need a break from the sun. Only thing I wish was that it was larger.

  • Yury P

    Decent prices, wide selection, practically right on the beach. Tasty and good sized Ceasar salad as well as chicken quesadilla. Iced mocha was also good. The staff was nice and helpful even though they seemed to be busy.

  • South Sea

    It was nice to have a cafe right by the beach. They served pizza, burgers, hot dogs, cold drinks, ice cream and so much more! The bathrooms were attached to the cafe.
