The Vancouver restaurant scene is constantly changing, and unfortunately, that means we sometimes have to say goodbye to some of our favourite eateries. This time, Mr. Red Cafe has shared the news that it has closed its doors.

“After many meaningful years serving the community at our beloved Mr. Red Cafe location on 2680 W. Broadway, we’ve officially closed our doors, for now. This space has been part of our family for decades, and we’re deeply grateful to everyone who made it feel like home,” shared the restaurant.

However, fans of Mr. Red’s Northern Vietnamese cuisine are still in luck because its sister restaurant, Hanoi Old Quarter, is located just down the street. Here you can find a selection of pho, vermicelli bowls, banh mi, and much more.

“Thank you for all your support over the years. We look forward to welcoming you in our new home,” concluded Mr. Red.

Fans of the restaurant took to the comments of the Instagram post to share how much they would miss Mr. Red Cafe.

“Mr. Red Cafe is my favourite Vietnamese restaurant! Will gladly continue supporting via Old Hanoi Quarter!” shared one user.

“Your Vietnamese crepes or Bánh cuốn are so delish 😋 and we’re happy your new restaurant is in our neighbourhood 🤗,” said another.

“Grateful for the years spent on W. Broadway,” added a third.
