Café-Restaurants - Commercial Drive

Blurring the line between casual café and full-service dining, the café-restaurants on Commercial Drive offer the best of both worlds.

Caffé Soccavo serves up Italian-inspired dishes alongside a warm, welcoming atmosphere, while The Lunch Lady brings vibrant Vietnamese flavours to a relaxed setting.

Livia Sourdough Bakery transitions seamlessly from morning pastries to evening wine and small plates, and Giancarlo’s Italian Cafe offers a classic espresso bar experience with hearty meals.

These versatile spots are ideal for a quick bite, a leisurely meal, or anything in between.
