The time has come for fall to start and summer to end, and while we definitely aren’t going to be stoked about the colder weather, we are pumped to get into some new eateries in Vancouver.

The city has some seriously drool-worthy establishments set to open their doors this fall. Here are the most highly anticipated openings of Fall 2018.

Patrons can expect the same charming vintage interior, relaxed vibe, outrageously drool-worthy eats, and hours (daily from 8 am to 3 pm) when it tentatively opens the first week of November.
