Ovaltine Cafe

The Ovaltine Cafe is marked by its projecting pink neon signage and a turquoise exterior that stands out on East Hastings Street. Opened in nineteen forty-two, this diner retains its original atmosphere, featuring high-walled wooden booths and red vinyl stools bolted to the floor. It remains a rare example of a mid-century Vancouver eatery that has stayed in continuous operation for over eight decades.
