DINER: After 5 Year Run, Railtown’s “Two Chefs & A Table” Set To Close On June 15

Portrait

by Andrew Morrison | Just got a message from Two Chefs & A Table (305 Alexander St.) owner Karl Gregg, which I’ve excerpted below. It’s an unfortunate one…

It is with no small amount of sadness that Two Chefs and a Table announces that we will be offering the last service at our Railtown Bistro on June 15. We’d like to take this moment to offer our sincere thanks to the many people who chose to make us part of their lunch, brunch, dinner and catering plans over the last five-plus years. We’d also like to thank all our friends in the food industry for their support and encouragement.

Silver lining: The Two Chefs name and menu will continue to run at the location in Richmond.

  1. Would be curious about the reason. Another good business destroyed by greedy landlords and megalomaniac developers? It’s not only hitting the drive!

  3. Sad to hear. I go to Big Lou’s a lot so hopefully that isn’t in trouble. At least the Richmond location is open. I go there occasionally for lunch.

    Nope our landlord is great, we did five years in the Railtown spot and want to look at more opportunities with Big Lous, Richmond and Catering
    No problems just new focus

  5. Thanks Karl, good to hear. I was getting a bit depressed about the state of businesses in this city.

Vancouver’s Best Japanese Curries, Our Favourites Mapped

Japanese curry doesn’t chase the spotlight the way ramen or gyoza do, but it has always been one of Japan’s most reliable comfort meals: hot, filling, and easy on the wallet. With Vancouver’s cooler weather still lingering, it’s exactly the kind of satisfying bowl that hits the spot.
