AND MAIN MAKES THREE: NEWEST RAILTOWN CAFE TO OPEN AT 1691 MAIN ST. ON APRIL 17

 

 New Location Brings Railtown’s Trademark Menu of Gourmet Sandwiches, Pastries and Build-Your-Own Salad Bar to Vancouver’s Olympic Village Neighbourhood

 

Railtown Cafe will launch the latest stop on its expanding railroad map of counter-service restaurants with the debut of a new 25-seat licensed cafe located at 1691 Main Street in Vancouver’s Olympic Village neighbourhood on Monday, April 17.

Open from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, the newest addition to the Railtown Cafe family occupies 1,185 square feet of space in the Onni Group’s new Block 100 building bordering Main Street and Railspur Lane.

Featuring the same menu of signature favourites for which Railtown has become known for, the Main Street location offers an array of artisan breads and pastries baked in-house each day, a menu of made-to-order gourmet sandwiches and soups and an unparalleled build-your-own salad bar, as well as house-made ice cream available by the jar and cone, locally roasted coffee, cold-pressed juices and a selection of local craft beer, wine and spirits.

The new Railtown Cafe outpost joins an ever-growing group of restaurants that first launched at 397 Railway Street in 2012 and expanded with a Downtown Vancouver cafe at 968 Howe Street in December 2016. The growing local success story will open its fourth location in an 1,800-square-foot space with licensed seating for 60 at 429 Granville Street this summer.

Chefs Dan Olson and Tyler Day first opened Railtown Cafe as an extension of their successful catering business, Railtown Catering. The neighbourhood cafe quickly became a go-to destination for Vancouver residents and tourists alike thanks to its signature brand of healthy, made-from-scratch comfort food prepared with local, organic and seasonal ingredients and served in heaping portions by Railtown’s talented team of classically trained chefs.

“We’ve been thrilled with the overwhelming response to the opening of our second cafe on Howe Street in December and our entire staff is excited to be able to open a third location and introduce some new friends and neighbours to our brand of signature comfort food,” says Olson.

Further details on the next Railtown Cafe location to be launched at 409 Granville Street will be revealed leading up to the opening this summer.
