The patio here doesn’t catch the summer sun like the others, but it offers a magical charm. Tucked in-between the restaurant and the building next door, the patio is an oasis in the heart of Kitsilano, with large trees that provide shade from the midday sun and heaters that keep the space warm into the night. The laidback atmosphere and vegetarian menu make this a must-try spot.
