It's spring! Try something new! Like one of these half-dozen recently opened Vancouver restaurants.
The team behind Published and Bar Susu recently launched a new Mexican-inspired snack bar on Main Street. El Gato Gab Gab brings the heat with its riffs on Mexican-meets-Pacific Northwest cuisine. Standout dishes include chicken skin chilaquiles (with an onsen egg and eggplant) and sake-charred cabbage tacos. elgatogabgab.com
Opened August 2024 | 2650 Main St.
The newly opened Loam brings elevated brunch fare to Lonsdale Quay in a lush, modern setting. The restaurant serves beloved items with a classic-meets-contemporary twist, like an açai bowl that features rosewater and house-made granola, and a bone marrow omelette with chuck roast, coconut gravy and gruyére. loambistro.ca

From the team that brought you Nammos Estiatorio comes Selene Aegean Bistro, a coastal Greek restaurant with experimental takes on classic dishes like oyster mushroom souvlaki (with pickles, tarragon vinegar and walnut skordalia) and spanako-pizza. seleneagn.com

Gastown’s newest late-night spot, Breeze Bar, combines what it calls “classy and trashy” to hit all types of comfort food cravings. Think popcorn made with Flavacol (the secret ingredient in the movie theatre version!) and wagyu hot dogs topped with caviar and creme fraiche. @breezebaryvr
