Urban Fare’s third branch in Vancouver will include both the restaurant and the gourmet food store, as its other two branches have done. Specializing in fine foods, Urban Fare also offers cooking classes and wine and cheese receptions. Well-stocked gift baskets (customized for your, or chosen from a pre-arranged selection) are sure to warm any foodie’s heart, whether over the holidays or in lieu of flowers on Valentine’s day.

The lunch and dinner menu consists largely of sandwiches and wraps, with daily specials, and a surprising number of soups - great for rainy Vancouver days - as well as a handful of heavier dishes. In other words, it's perfect for a quick eat-in meal or for take-out. This branch, unlike the other two, offers pizzas as well. - J.A.
