Air Canada has opened a new caf\u00e9 at YVR.<\/p>\n

The second Air Canada Caf\u00e9<\/a> location within the domestic C concourse, the new 84-seat, 4,489-square-foot caf\u00e9 is situated between gates 50 and 51, which are common departure points for the airline\u2019s direct flights to Montreal and Toronto airports.<\/p>\n

Inspired by West Coast design, the dining space features elements such as locally designed pendant lights inspired by river rocks and a mural by Coast Salish artist from the Musqueam nation, Kelly Cannell.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have this stunning landscape,\u201d said Hali Hamilton, director of ground product for Air Canada, as she gestured toward the wall of windows with a view toward the airplane-filled tarmac and the Straight of Georgia and beyond. \u201cAnd that is really where we drew inspiration in terms of the design of the lounge.\u201d<\/p>\n

With an on-site kitchen, the caf\u00e9 offers a selection of eat-in or grab and go bites such as Chinese BBQ pork buns and matcha overnight oats. There are even a few local highlights on the menu such as Lee\u2019s Donuts, beer from Locality Brewing, Oddity Kombucha and wines from Okanagan Crush Pad.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we also have Nanaimo bars,\u201d said Hamilton. \u201cIt couldn\u2019t be B.C. without that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grab-and-go Lee\u2019s Donuts can be found in the new Air Canada Caf\u00e9 location inside the domestic C concourse at YVR.<\/p>\n

Access is limited to Air Canada Aeroplan 50K-plus, business class, Star Alliance Gold and \u2018premium\u2019 Aeroplan cardholders who are flying that day. The airline operates members-only lounges at YVR, along with caf\u00e9s in Toronto and Montreal airports.<\/p>\n

But there are plenty of dining options that are available to all travellers around the domestic airport space.<\/p>\n

The terminal boasts a growing selection of locally focused food purveyors including Hula Poke, the Dirty Apron, and fan-favourite Japadog \u2014 along with a stand-alone Lee\u2019s Donut<\/a> outpost to get your sweet fix before you fly.<\/p>\n
