During the day, Murmur operates as a cafe, offering tea and coffee made with Honest to Pete beans, alongside a selection of bites and lunch items. Specifically, it serves a cinnamon bun that it claims could be the best in the city.
But, on weekend evenings, the menu changes to a prix fixe model, offering customers a three- or five-course dining experience.
Additionally, Murmur is not only a no-tip restaurant, but it also includes the tax in its prices.

Onda, brought to us by the same team behind Casereccio, specializes in what the team will be calling pizza, but explained to Dished that itās technically something different.
āOur main focus will be pizza: still Roman style (crunchy, airy, 90% hydration), but closer to whatās currently booming in Italy ā pinsa romana,āĀ said Simone Tarallo, co-owner of Casereccio and Onda. āItās a lighter dough, served in a rectangular shape. For the North American market, weāll continue to call it pizza, but with this unique twist.ā
Address:Ā 1610 Salt St., Vancouver

The restaurant features fresh seafood and offers classic fried fish options on its menu.
