Westender Review #253: “Finer Diner ‘Cafeteria’ Opens Strong”
July 9, 2010
My review of Main St.’s new Cafeteria in this week’s Westender:
by Andrew Morrison | It’s not uncommon for eagerly anticipated new restaurants to fall flat on their faces. The service can be skittish, the food unevenly prepared, and the vibe altogether unsettled, but that’s only to be expected with new rooms. I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt, usually by paying them three separate visits. One can’t expect (though it’s entirely reasonable to demand) perfection during the first few weeks. Mistakes — even a horrendous one, or two — are the norm. One dines accordingly, as if in a minefield.
That said, on very rare occasions, a restaurant comes along that’s a genuine pleasure to review straight out of the gate. Cafeteria is one of those. Having opened two weeks ago at Main and 11th, it’s without any noticeable flaws and drunk on that most elusive of hospitality cocktails: experience, mixed with confidence, and good luck. One visit was enough, but I went twice because I liked it so much. Read more
Seen In Vancouver #240: Already Lining Up At Main’s “Cafeteria”
June 29, 2010
A quick shot from the line-up at the new restaurant Cafeteria (Main and 11th) taken mid-rush in its first week. I’ve been a couple times now, once because it’s sort of my job and twice because I particularly enjoy gorgonzola and mustard creams bathing my schnitzel. They don’t take reservations (the easily inconvenienced have my condolences).
Durbach & Stewart Softly Open “Cafeteria” At 2702 Main Street
June 16, 2010
Cafeteria will open its doors softly to friends and family tonight (public this weekend). The new 30 seat restaurant comes to us from industry vets Andrey Durbach and Chris Stewart. As you may recall, they sold their L’Altro Buca restaurant (previously Parkside) in the West End to Carol and Luciano Loi of Adesso Bistro a couple of months ago in order to purchase the Ping’s spot at 2702 Main (details all here).
The focus won’t be cuisine-specific like their two other restaurants, La Buca (Italian) and Pied-a-Terre (French), and much like the original Parkside, the menu will travel quite a bit. They’re aiming for “super casual”, with no dish large or small trespassing beyond the $20 mark. In the end, what I imagine we’ll end up seeing is a playground for chef Durbach’s creativity, which is never a bad thing. All told, I’d count this as a huge win for Main.
I popped in before the doors were unlocked earlier tonight. Click through the menu and the room below…

About Cafeteria
From restaurant duo Andrey Durbach and Chris Stewart comes Cafeteria, a place where comfort food, nostalgia and neighbourhood meet to eat, drink and play.
The restaurant’s revolving offering of childhood favourites and adult indulgences rotates on chef Durbach’s whim with daily menus and inventive offerings of beer and wine displayed on old fashioned letter boards. Zinc tabletops, upholstered banquettes and stripped wooden chairs furnish the room while concrete floors, cedar planks and exposed brick add design zest. A titanium wine rack frames the eastern wall, clutching 600 bottles begging to be opened.
Cafeteria is nestled at 2702 Main Street at 11th avenue and open seven days a week from 5PM until late. The restaurant welcomes walk-in traffic, with a no reservations policy and a pledge to text you when your table is ready. Feel free to explore the neighbourhood while you wait.
