Touski describes itself as āa day-to-night neighbourhood bistro rooted in European influence.ā
“By day, Touski functions as a neighbourhood cafĆ© ā a “coffee bar to wine bar” concept ā serving thoughtfully sourced coffee, paired with light fare,” shared the cafe in an email.
But by night, the space transforms into a share-plate bistro, offering a rotating weekly menu built around French and British classics that are “reimagined with playful, generous touches and hyper-local ingredients.” Exact menu offerings have yet to be shared.
Currently, the space has softly opened its cafe offerings (available Tuesday to Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.), while dinner service will softly launch starting April 7.

Located at 1328 Richards St., Octave is located at the former home of Matchstick Yaletown (which announced the impending closureĀ of all of its locations earlier this year).
“We treat coffee seriously. We measure carefully, dial in every day, and follow recipes with attention. Milk texture, extraction, and balance are important. Our goal is simple. Every cup should be consistent, clean, and balanced,” wrote the cafe.
