Casa de Nata is now open in Gastown!

The family-run café started by selling their popular Portuguese egg tarts at local markets and now they’ve got a bright, welcoming space with a menu of sweet and savoury eats.

Everything is made with care, family recipes, and a little local flair.

Vancouver Cocktail Week isn’t just about the drinks—it’s a full sensory experience where food plays just as much of a starring role.

From March 2 to 9, 2025, VCW will offer plenty of ways for food lovers to indulge, from cocktail-paired dinners to whisky tastings and creative twists on afternoon tea.

Presented by —a sibling publication to us —VCW 2025 will bring together some of the city’s top chefs, bartenders, and international guests for a week of immersive dining experiences.
