This one’s for those who appreciate a meal that’s quiet in posture but charged with meaning.

Chef Lina Caschetto and This is Wine School are back for ‘Act 2’ of their new monthly pop-up series, serving up a fresh market-inspired and wine-paired meal that’s personal but far from 'precious'. The theme this round? 'Le Maraîcher' ('The Market Gardener') - meaning the vegetables are the stars.

Neate Donuts, a project developed alongside JJ Bean’s coffee operations, has opened its first standalone location at Oceanic Plaza (1066 W Hastings Street). The downtown flagship shop reconnects with the Neate family’s original pairing of coffee and donuts, dating back to the 1940s.

Vagabond, a pop-up built around travelling, collaboration, and local terroir, is rolling through town next week, taking over the Nero Tondo space from Tuesday, April 15th until Saturday, April 19th.

With Chupito gone and Cantina 189 wrapping up, there’s a big hole in the city where some of Vancouver's best cocktails used to live. But don’t worry! Tara Davies and Erik Vazquez just returned from Mexico and, fuelled by new inspiration, the duo are already deep into their next project.

Nero Tondo is the kind of place where music’s up, plates land fast, drinks stay topped up, and it’s not uncommon for someone to nudge you to try what’s on their plate. It's the best kind of kitchen party.

February at The Magnet is a celebration of beer, bringing together some of the best breweries from the Pacific Northwest. For beer enthusiasts, this is more than just an excuse to drink great beer; it’s also a reminder that collaboration and community should always come before politics.

Guided by Head Chef Poom Sikarin Sirisupanon (currently sous chef at sister restaurant Maenam), Angus An's new "Sainam" will spotlight rustic Thai specialties like som tum and Wechanburi-style grilled chicken, in a lively 40-seat setting.

After seven years of cooking together, Chefs Devon Latté and Lucas Johnston are set to open an 18-seat restaurant situated in the former Elephant address on Powell Street.

Tucked into a quieter stretch of downtown Victoria’s northern edge, the new wine bar led by first-time restaurateur, Sydney Cooper (with an exciting new food program from Chef Billy Nguyen) is already turning heads.
