Since beginning its recent revitalization, The Quay has welcomed a new generation of businesses and culinary experiences. The transformation has included renovations at Saje Natural Wellness, Margitta’s Flowers and The Space: House of Performing Arts & Movement; the addition of Oxygen Yoga & Fitness; second-floor restaurant Fiorino Italian Street Food and two-storey anchor restaurant King Taps; new brewery operator Strathcona North; and an expanded food hall and bar featuring Le Coq Frit, Krave Kulture, Brazil Gourmet, Tokyo Wagyu Works, Butter Lane Bake Shop, La Mano, Mainstay, and Heritage Asian Eatery. The evolution continues with new and soon-to-open businesses including Anytime Fitness, Salon428, Chippies, Disco Cheetah and Crave Cheesesteaks.
The revitalization has also extended to the hotel above the Market, which entered a new chapter over the past year as Coast Lonsdale Quay Hotel. With renovated guest rooms and suites, the waterfront property offers visitors a welcoming place to stay just steps from the Market, the Shipyards and the SeaBus.
The Quay features 50+ locally owned and operated businesses that showcase global flavours, boutique and artisan stores that range from fashion and home décor to bookstores, hair salons and a dance and fitness studios, family friendly play areas and kid-focused shops and more.
