Iconic Vancouver diner Ovaltine Cafe to reopen after devastating fire
Good news for fans of classic diners and cheap eats: Ovaltine Cafe will officially reopen before the end of the year.
Ovaltine Cafe has been a mainstay in Vancouver since 1942, so people were justifiably heartbroken when it announced a temporary closure due to a suspected arson fire. Then, in June 2023, the diner started a GoFundMe with a goal of $20,000 to help it get back on its feet.
Now, Ovaltine took to Instagram to announce that it’s officially reopening before the end of the year.
