Cobre is on the move. From the inbox…

After five years at 52 Powell the much beloved and critically acclaimed Cobre Restaurant is moving! This means the successful venture brought to you by owners Tyson Reimer, Chef Stu Irving and Jason Kelly can expand in order to tempt your palate even further!

However just when you thought you’d have to drive miles for those incredible taquitos rest assured, you won’t have to travel far at all. In fact Cobre is moving to a bigger space right next door to its current location; literally two feet away!

“Our lease came to an end and we have an opportunity to get into a space with more seats and all on one level,” says Reimer, “While we have really enjoyed the feel and the different levels of the room at Cobre, the new space will allow us to expand with a more defined lounge section.” Reimer adds, “The bonus of moving next door means we don’t have to alienate the local and devoted clientele we’ve built up over the past five years.”

The new Cobre will maintain all the character of the previous room with exposed brick and copper accents. Those in the lounge will be able to people watch from two massive bay windows at the front of the building.

Now the bad news. Cobre will be closing at the end of March for a few months as crews work on the fantastic new space.

“Lots of work goes into these old Gastown buildings to make them useable,” adds Kelly, “Whole new venting systems need to be put in and more without destroying the integrity and the unique history of the space; it was a challenge the first time and we’re looking forward to the finished product this time!”

Cobre’s new home will have a similar open concept feel with Chef Irving overseeing the delectable tapas plates as they head out to Vancouver’s watering mouths! Between closing Cobre and opening the new space, Chef Irving will be trekking to Mexico and Central America in search of new flavours for you to explore!

Stay tuned for the grand re-opening of Cobre Restaurant!
