The Tricky Business of Finding Vancouver Restaurants Open on Monday (and/or Tuesday)

It's the beginning of the week. You want to meet friends for a meal (or just don't want to cook), but so many restaurants are closed that figuring out where to go only leads to frustration, compromise, or a sad frozen pizza... No more! This new guide is here to help.

It’s Monday. You want to meet friends for a meal (or just don’t want to cook), but so many restaurants are closed that figuring out where to go only leads to frustration, compromise, or a sad frozen pizza… No more! Put an end to all of that nonsense by using this tasty guide to local, independent restaurants that are actually open on Mondays (and Tuesdays, because they can be tricky too)…

NOTE: We probably don’t need to say this, but for the few readers out there who might forget: Things happen, pipes burst, staff get sick, people go on trips. This list is not a 100% guarantee doors will be open. Always double-check with a restaurant before making a plan.
