Zaatar W Zeit is set to open at 535 Granville Street, and we’re hoping it’s soon. This spot is pop-u-lar in the Middle East (once you peep their Instagram, you’ll see why). We wouldn’t be surprised if you hadn’t heard of this eatery before because it’s the first Canadian location for the Lebanese chain.
Address: 535 Granville Street, Vancouver
