Florence-inspired Vancouver restaurant to expand with new location opening soon
There’s been a lot of hype around all the exciting restaurant openings coming to Lonsdale Quay Market, with many being teased as far back as 2023. Fast forward to 2025, and we’re finally starting to see some movement when it comes to these long-awaited eateries. Specifically, we now have an approximate opening date for Fiorino’s North Vancouver location.
Slated to open mid-June, FiorinoĀ is expanding its much-loved Chinatown concept.
You’ll find rustic Florentine flavours inspired by the backstreets of Tuscany, all on the second floor of the Lonsdale Quay Market.
In terms of specific dishes, Fiorino previously confirmed to Dished that it is planning on keeping the programĀ similar to the Chinatown program, focusing on seasonality and classics it has become known for, like its Coccoli e Prosciutto.
As for the space, Fiorino will have a waterfront patio that overlooks the Vancouver harbour, as well as an intimate private dining room.
Fiorino is taking over the former location of theĀ Cheshire Cheese Restaurant, which closed in 2022 after a whopping 36 years of operation, as well as expanding into the dance studio space next door.

Fiorino isn’t the only exciting addition coming to Lonsdale Quay. Not only is King Taps Lonsdale Quay opening its two-storey waterfront flagship store on May 27, but many other big names in the Vancouver food scene are planning on opening in the revamped Food Hall, expected to launch this summer. These include vendors like Heritage Asian Eatery, Krave Kulture, LeCoq Frit, Takenaka, and The Mainstay, a Market Bar.
