Located at 3860 Lougheed Highway, the former Swiss Chalet is now something called Happy Valley Food City, a multi-concept restaurant space that will offer everything from dim sum to BBQ skewers to a Hong Kong-style cafe.
“Food city” is an apt descriptor of Happy Valley, as inside this destination are two different restaurants: HV Cafe and HV Wonder House.
