5 new Vancouver diners you should check out

Those embedded in food culture in Vancouver know that Scout Magazine has the most tuned-in food blog around; their Anticipated Openings section.
Those embedded in food culture in Vancouver know that Scout Magazine has the most tuned-in food blog around; their Anticipated Openings section. In it co-founders Andrew Morrison and Michelle Sproule offer us unparalleled access to spots slated to open up, and they also provide insight that others simply can't muster. This section is essentially their advance stamp of approval, in their own words it's "how we weed out the chaff and keep track of the wheat", and while they give a heads up about things that are going to open in the future they generally follow up with a "First Look" once the spots are about to open their doors for business. We've put together this list of a few of the recent openings they've featured for 2 reasons: 1 so that you can check out these new businesses and perhaps find a new favourite spot and 2 because we want to put Scout on your radar if they're not already. Click the link in each slide for the full looks inside the places, and be sure to bookmark scoutmagazine.ca/anticipated-openings to keep on top of only the best new spots set to open on a block near you!

  • The Ramen Butcher

    By Vancouver Is Awesome

    "The Japanese ramen lords Menya Kouji (150+ restaurants) have made their first North American commitment, taking a production kitchen and a restaurant in the heart of Vancouver’s Chinatown"

  • Hi-Five

    By Vancouver Is Awesome

    "Winfield, who is one of the partners at Six Acres on Carrall Street, took possession of the small spot in November. How small is it? 100 sqft – it used to be the landlord’s storage locker!"

  • Earnest Ice Cream at 2nd & Quebec

    By Vancouver Is Awesome

    "The new location has the same feel as the Fraserhood shop (clean lines, uncomplicated aesthetic – white walls, exposed brick and warm wood) but there is a little more wiggle room here..."

  • Tacofino Gastown

    By Vancouver Is Awesome

    "Chef Jason Sussman and Kaeli Robinsong of Tacofino have come a long way since their food truck days in Tofino."

  • Nomad

    By Vancouver Is Awesome

    "The space they’ve leased is brand-spanking new – a modern concrete-and-glass job with a lovely loft kitchen with chef’s tables overlooking the smartly spartan dining room and bar below."
