First Look Inside West 4th’s New “Refuel” Restaurant And Bar…

As regular readers are aware, Kitsilano’s Fuel restaurant served its last customer last night. There was little time for ceremony, however, as its metamorphosis into Refuel, a casual and significantly less expensive operation, is slated for quick turnaround. Opening dinner service is in two days. Wednesday.

From what I saw tonight they’ve already achieved plenty. The menu also seems very much squared away, together with a fat new selection of quality hard-to-hook-up beers (I did enough product sampling to disorient a bear). Read more

The New Logo For Kitsilano’s Refuel, Soon To (Re)Open On 4th

Scout broke the news a couple of weeks ago that Kitsilano’s award-winning Fuel Restaurant was going to go under the same reconstructive surgery that saw Parkside and Gastropod rebranded as L’Altro Buca and Maenam.

It has since closed, and now will transmogrify into Refuel, a casual restaurant of refined comforts at accessible price points. It opens on Wednesday (that’s the new logo to the left).

Times are tough, and when the going gets tough, the tough adapt. If they don’t, well…they die, and dying isn’t very tough, is it?  The change is a smart, necessary move, and the new food menu looks mighty fine, making Refuel a story of prudence I’m particularly looking forward to reading eating.
