There are tons of new restaurants on the horizon in Vancouver right now, including a handful of new spots at the revamped Burrard Food Court, which are officially open for business.
Bentall Centre’s transformation of the food court consists of enhanced lighting, refreshed seating, and expanded communal tables and bar-style seating. If it’s been a while since you’ve dined here, it’s worth checking it out on your next lunch break!
Which new vendors are now open?
A more welcoming atmosphere is a huge part of the redesign, alongside five new food vendors: Zab Bite Thai Express, Little Seoul, TORI, Indish, and Four Bite Burger.
Zab Bite Thai Express is a quick-service version of the Michelin Recommended Zab Bite Thai E-Sarn Cuisine, serving up authentic Thai street food dishes like cashew nut chicken, tom kha and green curry.
Developed by Chef Jacob, founder of Vancouver’s The Frying Pan, Little Seoul offers Korean-style lunchboxes inspired by customizable, home-cooked meals. Diners can add freshly cooked rice, japchae and proteins including bulgogi, spicy pork and braised tofu to their boxes.
Also created by the team behind The Frying Pan, TORI serves Japanese bites like its signature Tori Paitan Ramen, featuring slow-cooked chicken broth and tender sous-vide chicken, alongside rice bowls, yakisoba, yaki udon and handmade pork katsu.
Indish started out as a food truck, serving modern, slow-cooked Indian curries, rice bowls, paratha wraps and Samosa Chaat. Its permanent home at the food court means you no longer have to track down where the food truck is parked!
The last of the new vendors to check out is Four Bite Burger, which offers diner-style sliders made with fresh beef, thinly sliced onions, melted cheese and signature sauce on soft steamed buns.
“The relaunch of the Burrard Food Court represents a significant investment in the daily experience of our tenants and downtown visitors” says Chuck We, executive vice president of Pacific Northwest and Canada office operations for Hudson Pacific Properties, operator and co-owner of Bentall Centre. “By welcoming these operators and modernizing the space, we’re continuing to strengthen Bentall Centre as a vibrant gathering place in the heart of the city.”
Located beneath BX1, the Burrard Food Court is part of Bentall Centre’s ongoing evolution as a mixed-use urban campus. The goal is for the centre to solidify its place as a gathering spot for work, dining, and community connection.
