The team behind the much-loved Mount Pleasant tapas bar Como Taperia is debuting a new concept in the city, this time with a focus on seafood.
Founders Shaun Layton and Frankie Harrington are preparing to open the doors to Como Ultramar, a restaurant inspired by their travels throughout Northern Spain.
“Ultramar is inspired by the places Frankie and I travel to often during our annual trips to Spain,” said Layton. “There will be a definite focus on the cuisine of Northern Spain, such as the seaside towns of the Basque Country, Cantabria, and Galicia, but also the old-school seafood bars of Madrid, the modern, playful seafood restaurants of Barcelona, and the tabernas of Cádiz. In all these places, there is just big love for seafood in its simplest forms, but yet, full of flavour.”
The 2,500 sq. ft. space will feature a dining room and a mezzanine on the second level. As for the building itself, it’s located on Faber Block and was originally constructed in 1926 (formerly known as The Carolina). Over its century-old history, the building’s previous tenants include popular neighbourhood spots like Black and White Grocery and Seb’s Cafe.
Address: 592 East Broadway, Vancouver

West Vancouver’s next restaurant is preparing to open its doors in the historic and newly restored building, and it’s being brought to life by an all-star team.
Called Navvy House, the project is brought to us by At Home Hospitality, the team behind Vancouver’s Banter Room and the award-winning Prophecy and will be opening inside the Navvy Jack House at 1768 Argyle Ave.
The menu here was designed by Executive Chef and Operating Partner Mike Rose, who was born and raised in West Vancouver, serving bites that follow the seasons and the shoreline, drawing inspiration from Pacific and Atlantic coastal traditions and the land in between with a menu described as “unfussy, bold, and built on natural flavours.”
As for the space itself, it will pair original heritage details with modern design and views over the Burrard Inlet, built for long lunches and evenings that run past sunset.
Address: 1768 Argyle Ave., West Vancouver

Hot off the heels of its first Vancouver location, the team behind Little Pisces has announced it will be coming to UBC as soon as this fall.
The shop, brought to us by co-owners Linda Dai and Jacky Tian, has taken Metro Vancouver by storm ever since it opened its first Burnaby location in 2024 and its subsequent Richmond outpost. Then, in 2026, it opened its first cafe in Vancouver proper.
While taiyaki are the main event at Little Pisces, it also offers soft serve and a selection of coffee, matcha, and more.
Address: UBC’s University Village

Earnest Ice Cream shared that its fifth location will be on Granville Island, with an anticipated opening slated for this fall.
“We try to make each shop unique,” said co-founder Erica Bernardi in a press release. “This could be our last location, so we knew we wanted it to feel really special. We’ve always trusted our gut when it comes to choosing spaces — community first, and then everything else. It’s harder than it sounds to find somewhere that checks all the practical boxes and just feels right. This one does.”
The local mini chain shared that this new location will be rooted in Granville Island’s character. The space, designed by Studio Roslyn, will draw inspiration from Granville Island’s maritime history while also featuring work from local artists throughout the space.
Address: 1431 Anderson St., Vancouver

Supernova labels itself as a waste-conscious cocktail concept, using byproducts from other bars and restaurants that would otherwise be thrown out to inform its menu and make its drinks.

Culinary duo Dom and Frank Morra are doing it again. After bringing multiple much-loved Italian concepts to the city, including Via Tevere, Dante Italian Sandwich, Don’t Argue Pizza, and Straight Outta Brooklyn, the brothers are preparing to launch their latest restaurant, called Rosalia Osteria.
Named after their grandmother Rosalia, the new 33-seat, 600 sq. ft restaurant is opening in the former home of Robba da Matti Yaletown’s outpost.
Here, the team will be serving a pasta-forward menu inspired by the warmth and tradition of Sunday dinner at Nonna’s table. Think shareable antipasti, fresh seasonal salads, classic Italian desserts, and a thoughtfully curated drinks program all anchored by its house-made pasta.

The team is also known for its handhelds, with its signature being the Effin’ Good Burger featuring smoked onion mayo, BBQ sauce, bacon, tomato jam, lettuce, pickles, and cheddar with an all-beef patty served on a brioche bun.
