New Vancouver Restaurants to Put on Your Radar This Fall

Vancouver’s restaurant scene is entering a particularly exciting season.

From intimate pasta rooms in Yaletown to ambitious tasting menus on Commercial Drive, the city’s newest openings reflect what Vancouver does best: globally influenced cuisine, exceptional local ingredients and spaces where thoughtful design is part of the experience.

Whether you are planning a celebratory dinner, looking for a new neighbourhood favourite or simply want to know where everyone will be trying to book a table next, these are the new and forthcoming Vancouver restaurants worth knowing about.

Haisan

Neighbourhood: Commercial Drive
Address: 2892 Commercial Drive
Opening: Anticipated fall 2026

Haisan is shaping up to be one of Vancouver’s most ambitious new dining experiences.

Led by chef Steven Che of Just Pizza, the restaurant will explore Chinese Pacific Northwest cuisine through an intimate multi-course tasting menu. The concept brings together Chinese culinary traditions, personal memories and ingredients drawn from the West Coast.

Rather than relying on familiar fine-dining formulas, Haisan promises a highly personal point of view. It is the kind of chef-led concept that could quickly become a destination well beyond the Commercial Drive neighbourhood.

Rosalia Osteria

Neighbourhood: Yaletown
Address: 1127 Mainland Street
Opening: Anticipated fall 2026

Yaletown is welcoming a new Italian dining room from brothers Dom and Frank Morra, the team connected to Via Tevere, Don’t Argue Pizza and Dante Italian Sandwich.

Rosalia Osteria is expected to be an intimate, pasta-focused restaurant inspired by traditional family dinners. House-made pasta will anchor the menu, supported by antipasti, seasonal salads, Italian desserts and a thoughtfully selected beverage program.

At approximately 33 seats, Rosalia is designed to feel warm and personal rather than oversized or overly formal. For Yaletown residents, it could become the kind of neighbourhood restaurant that works equally well for a spontaneous dinner or a more intimate celebration.

Zumi Revolving Sushi Bar

Neighbourhood: West End
Address: 1588 Alberni Street
Opening: To be announced

Alberni Street continues to evolve into one of Vancouver’s most compelling dining destinations, and Zumi will introduce a modern interpretation of kaiten, or conveyor-belt, sushi.

Seasonal dishes will travel directly from the chefs to guests on the revolving belt, while counter seating will provide access to additional items prepared to order. A separate takeaway offering is also expected to include nigiri boxes and hand rolls.

The format may be playful, but the focus is intended to remain on freshness, speed and proximity to the chefs. Located near Vancouver’s Luxury Zone, Zumi will add a more interactive option to an area increasingly known for destination restaurants and international brands.

¿CóMO? Ultramar

Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Address: 592 East Broadway
Opening: Anticipated winter 2026

The team behind ¿CóMO? Taperia is expanding its Spanish culinary world with a seafood-driven restaurant inspired by Northern Spain.

Ultramar will draw influence from the Basque Country, Galicia and Cantabria, as well as the seafood bars of Madrid, Barcelona and Cádiz. Expect simple, confident preparations, live-fire cooking and a strong emphasis on seafood.

The approximately 2,500-square-foot restaurant will occupy the historic Faber Block and include a main dining room and second-level mezzanine. Its interiors are being designed by Ste. Marie, adding another layer of anticipation to what is already one of the season’s most design-forward openings.

Navvy House

Neighbourhood: West Vancouver
Address: 1768 Argyle Avenue
Opening: To be announced

Few upcoming restaurants can compete with the setting of Navvy House.

Located inside the restored Navvy Jack House on West Vancouver’s waterfront, the restaurant will pair historic architecture with unobstructed Burrard Inlet views. The project comes from At Home Hospitality, whose portfolio includes Banter Room and Prophecy.

Executive chef and West Vancouver native Mike Rose is developing a menu influenced by the seasons, the shoreline and the culinary traditions of Canada’s Pacific and Atlantic coasts.

The combination of heritage character, contemporary design and a waterfront location should make Navvy House particularly appealing for sunset dinners and long weekend lunches.

Aburi Market

Neighbourhood: Downtown Vancouver
Address: 609 Granville Street
Opening: To be announced

Aburi Restaurant Canada is preparing another downtown location for its Japanese marketplace concept.

The new Aburi Market is expected to offer sushi, bento boxes, specialty Japanese groceries and imported products. Plans also include a new Japanese bakery concept, adding another reason to visit beyond lunch or takeaway.

Its Granville Street address places it within Vancouver’s central business district, making it a potentially valuable addition for downtown residents and office workers looking for polished but convenient dining options.

Nami

Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Address: 3030 Main Street
Opening: To be announced

Popular bánh mì shop Nami is preparing to open its third location in the former Papa’s Gourmet Pizza space on Main Street.

Nami has built a following around Vietnamese sandwiches with crisp bread, vibrant herbs and deeply flavoured fillings. The new location will bring the concept into one of Vancouver’s most active food neighbourhoods, where independent restaurants, cafés and boutiques continue to shape the character of the community.

An exact opening date has not been confirmed, but signage and plans for the Main Street location have been reported.

Unveil Coffee Roasters

Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
Address: 2815 West Broadway
Opening: Expected in 2026

Unveil Coffee Roasters is bringing a socially conscious café concept to West Broadway.

The company plans to operate without single-use cups while following a no-tipping model supported by living wages. That makes the opening notable not only for its coffee, but also for its attempt to rethink some of the habits and economics surrounding café culture.

In a city filled with independent coffee shops, Unveil will need to deliver on both quality and experience. Its sustainability-focused model, however, gives the business a clearly differentiated identity.

% Arabica at Oakridge Park

Neighbourhood: Oakridge
Address: Oakridge Park
Opening: To be announced

International coffee brand % Arabica is expected to join Oakridge Park with a highly designed kiosk concept.

Known for its minimalist branding, carefully considered interiors and globally recognizable percentage-mark logo, % Arabica operates cafés in major cities around the world. The Oakridge location is expected to use the brand’s illuminated kiosk format seen in international markets.

As Oakridge Park continues its transformation into a major retail, residential and cultural destination, recognizable hospitality brands such as % Arabica will form an important part of its evolving lifestyle offering.

Cloudstreet

Neighbourhood: Downtown Vancouver
Address: Hyatt Regency Vancouver
Status: Recently opened

For elevated views and a polished downtown setting, Cloudstreet is one of the newest names to know.

Located inside the Hyatt Regency Vancouver, the redesigned restaurant is led by chef Craig Sung, previously associated with Forage. The concept pairs expansive city views with a contemporary hotel dining experience.

While Cloudstreet has already begun welcoming guests, its recent arrival makes it a relevant addition to Vancouver’s fall dining conversation, particularly for business lunches, cocktails and dinners in the downtown core.

Vancouver’s Dining Scene Is Becoming More Neighbourhood-Driven

What makes this group of openings interesting is not simply the number of restaurants arriving. It is how closely many of them respond to their locations.

Rosalia brings intimate Italian dining to Yaletown. Navvy House draws inspiration from West Vancouver’s waterfront. Ultramar channels Northern Spain within a restored Mount Pleasant building. Haisan interprets Chinese and Pacific Northwest identity through the perspective of its chef.

Restaurants help define how a neighbourhood feels after the workday ends. They create gathering places, animate streets and contribute to the lifestyle that makes one community feel different from another.

That relationship between home and neighbourhood is central to how we approach real estate. A property is never only its interior. The restaurants, cafés, parks, shops and experiences outside the front door are part of its value too.

At Editorial Living Group, we believe the best real estate decisions begin with understanding how you want to live.

Opening dates and restaurant details are current as of September 2026 and may change. Check directly with each establishment before making plans.
