Fly Away With Me... Our Deli Is Coming To YVR!

We couldn't be more excited to share that soon, we will bring our passion for local and artisanal food to... YVR(!!!)–as part of the airport's enhanced food and beverage offerings.
We have been serving guests our signature gourmet deli fare for 10 years, and look forward to sharing some our best-loved and most popular dishes–alongside seasonal, new, and exclusive menu items–with even more people.

Our deli's second location will be in the domestic terminal (Pier C Food Hall, Post-Security), and will offer travellers our award-winning, chef-driven gourmet delicatessen fare you have come to know and love at our Beatty Street location.
