Marco Ovies/Dished

There are so many great restaurants opening in Vancouver, and we couldn’t be happier. From the long-awaited return of a Vancouver cafe to a new spot for delicious taiyaki, there are so many restaurants opening in and around the city.

That’s why we compiled a list of some of the most hyped openings to look forward to. Keep on reading to learn all about the restaurant coming to Metro Vancouver in the near future.

Small Victory Yaletown

We, along with many Vancouverites, were heartbroken when we heard the news that Small Victory Bakery would be closing its Yaletown location after a decade. However, at the time, Small Victory shared that it wasn’t a permanent goodbye and that it expects to be returning to the neighbourhood soon — sometime later this month, to be exact.

Small Victory told Dished it will be returning to Yaletown in a new space at 1089 Marinaside Crescent.

“We are thrilled to return to Yaletown, and especially to such a stunning waterfront location,” said Afshan, co-owner of Small Victory Bakery. “Our mission remains steadfast: to celebrate simple pleasures through exceptional baked goods and coffee.”

Address: 1089 Marinaside Crescent, Vancouver

Nemesis Pavilion

In addition to a stunning space with plenty of natural light, Nemesis’ new location will feature an exclusive cocktail program and donuts like its Salted Caramel Brown Butter Cruller. But don’t worry, you’ll still be able to find the viral Mortadella Supreme Sandwich here too.

Address: 13380 102A Avenue, Surrey

Sud Cafe

Sud Cafe, opening at 1082 Cardero Street in the former space of Cardero Grocery, aims to transport guests to the south of France in both its ambience and its food.

You’ll be able to find your typical cafe offerings like lattes and other hot and cold drinks, but there will be some drinks that offer a bit of a French and Mediterranean twist.

Address: 1082 Cardero Street, Vancouver

Don’t Tell Nonna

Don’t Tell Nonna is the latest pizzeria to hit Metro Vancouver and plans to serve up pies “Nonna might not approve of, but your taste buds will.” Whether you’re looking for thin New York-style slices or a whole Detroit deep-dish pie, you’ll find it here.

Located at 20504 Fraser Highway, Langley (just steps away from Steven’s Cocktail Corner Bar), Don’t Tell Nonna is opening in the former space of McBurney’s Coffee & Tea House.

Address: 20504 Fraser Highway, Langley

Big Mama’s & Papa’s is making its way to Vancouver and bringing its absolutely massive pizzas along for the ride.

Just how big are these pizzas? Well, for those who don’t know, Big Mama’s & Papa’s holds the world record for the world’s largest deliverable pizza for its 54-inch by 54-inch pie called The Great Sicilian. It also sells giant slices, which are so large that one piece can feed five to seven people.

Address: 2655 Arbutus Street, Vancouver

Nemesis Pavilion

Nemesis Surrey Pavilion

Nemesis Pavilion will open this month at the new Surrey Pavilion, located in the heart of the city centre.

The new location promises the same directly traded, thought-provoking coffee program we know and love, along with the elevated brunch and pastries we crave on the regular from executive chef Mielye Mitchell and executive sous chef Lina Serrano.

At launch, Nemesis Pavilion will offer something exclusive to its location: donuts.

Address: 13380 102A Avenue, Surrey

Little Pisces

After opening its first location in 2024, Little Pisces is expanding with a brand new Richmond spot. While not much is known about the new location, we anticipate all of its delicious taiyaki flavours will be available at this spot alongside its ice cream offerings.

Address: #128 8531 Alexandra Rd Richmond

Analog — Kingsway

Ronnie Olstad, president of Ninety Eight Food Co (Analog’s parent company), confirmed that Analog is currently preparing to open a new cafe within the city at 776 Kingsway.

“The architecture of the building is probably what stands out the most, the shape of it, and how they were creative in making it work for that block. A lot of more traditional people wouldn’t have gone for that route,” said Olstad when speaking about the space.

Olstad said that he can’t put an exact date for the opening of this new location, but he predicts a summer opening in either July or August of this year.

Address: 776 Kingsway, Vancouver

Crema Ice Cream, which started as a food truck, will soon have its very own brick-and-mortar location. The spot, which is best known for its Latino, Asian and classic ice cream flavours with a twist, is expected to open somewhere in Burnaby this spring.

Address: Burnaby

Reuben’s Deli by Omnitsky

Get excited, Vancouver: a new deli is joining the list of highly anticipated eateries coming to Vancouver, and it’s from the same team that brought us the now-closed Omnitsky.

For those unfamiliar, Omnitsky was a deli at 5775 Oak Street specializing in kosher products like Montreal smoked meat and tasty dine-in options like plated breakfast, sandwiches, and its much-loved matzo ball soup. It closed its doors in October 2024.

Now, signs for a new concept by the same team called Reuben’s Deli have popped up at 3435 Fraser Street, Vancouver.

Address: 3435 Fraser Street, Vancouver

A major US-based fondue chain is preparing to enter the city with not one but two locations.

Currently, Melting Pot has two Vancouver locations planned: one each on the west and east sides of downtown. However, it is still early days and exact opening dates and locations have yet to be announced.
