Oliver's - Vancouver

The restaurant offers a fantastic variety of dishes. Although the menu doesn't quite match my preferences, the overall ambiance and presentation of the food are very appealing.

One of the newest additions to south Granville I enjoy seeing little independent shop open up and this one looks like it may be a hit.

Adorable boutique located in South Granville, featuring styles influenced by Paris and LA.

I love that they had a menu board in the window. It helped us figure out what we wanted and how much lunch would end up costing us. I ordered the $6.99 Black Forest Ham Panino and Reg ordered the $6.99 Smoked Turkey Panino.My panino was delicious but Reg's was stunning! I was actually a little jealous, it looked so good and Reg loved it. Which makes me very happy because that means we will probably go back together.Our server (who was an absolute doll) also brought over complimentary Italian Wedding Soup for us. It was also, absolutely delicious. The little pieces of pasta perfectly cooked and the mini meatballs so yummy.Sadly they did not have any decaf coffee but if I wanted bubble tea, there was no shortage. Reg enjoyed his coffee but this is not your average café. They also had what looked like Asian satay cooking right under the cash. You can kind of see it in the above photo of the right-hand side.It is really smart to market to the kids in the neighbourhood because there are a lot. Next time I go I think I will try the turkey panino and have a real Vancouver bubble tea for the first time. This is a cute local spot that I know we will be returning to during our walks in the hood.

I really liked that they had a menu board displayed in the window, which helped us decide on what to order for lunch. I chose the $6.99 Black Forest Ham Panino, while my partner, Reg, opted for the $6.99 Smoked Turkey Panino. My panino was tasty, but Reg's was exceptional! I was a bit envious of how delicious it looked, and Reg thoroughly enjoyed it. Our server, who was incredibly friendly, even brought us complimentary Italian wedding soup, which was absolutely delicious. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the mini meatballs were so flavorful. Unfortunately, they didn't have any coffee available, but they did offer a great selection of bubble teas. Reg was pleased with his coffee, although this wasn't your typical café as they also seemed to be preparing Asian Satay dishes. This is a smart move as there are many children in the neighborhood. Next time, I plan to try the turkey panino and sample a Vancouver bubble tea for the first time. Overall, this is a charming spot that we'll definitely revisit during our strolls in the area.
