    1 of 4 2 of 4

      The Vancouver Convention Centre (1055 Canada Place) is usually associated with global forums, lifestyle events, or graduation parties, but now it can also be known as a place to grab a bite or glass of wine.

      LOT185 Café and Wine Bar opens inside the double LEED Platinum-certified building tomorrow (September 28), offering a menu that ranges from coffee to tapas to freshly baked pastries to international wines.

      The space has an 80-person capacity that covers two floors, which includes a private dining room that features direct views of Jack Poole Plaza.

      An in-house bakery serves up items like scones, breakfast sandwiches, muffins, and cakes. It’s also home to a full coffee bar that uses beans from North Vancouver’s Moja Coffee.

      Freshly baked scones are offered here.

      In the evening, a rotating menu will be available. Guests will be able to find tasty bites like sliders, Neapolitan-style pizzas, cheese and charcuterie, and other small plates.

      In terms of drinks, a B.C.-focused wine and craft beer list is on offer. International wines are also poured here, as well as non-alcoholic beverages like sodas and kombucha.

      “We wanted to offer something that allowed us to showcase the incredible Convention Centre culinary team to the public in a more casual environment,” said Craig Lehto, general manager of Vancouver Convention Centre, in a press statement. “We created a space to bring the five-star Convention Centre kitchen to locals while offering an alternative dining experience to our guests attending meetings and conventions at our facility.”

      The eatery opens tomorrow at 7 a.m., and the first 185 guests who visit will receive a free coffee and scone, as well as a special welcome gift.
