This romantic, intimate property, located in the South Granville Theater and Art Gallery District, is just a short drive south of downtown Vancouver across the Granville Bridge. You know you've reached the right place when you spot the unique bronze sculpture of a man and a dog at a cafe table on the front sidewalk. Come for lunch or dinner to enjoy the West Coast/Pacific Northwest cuisine which has both French and Indian influences. The three-course pre-theater menu is a great bargain.
