Cosy Inn Café:
Chinese Food Meets Western Fare Story by Sarah Gordon

Like the corner grocery stores that used to be in every Vancouver neighbourbood, there were also restaurants like Dunbar’s Cosy Inn Café that offered a combined menu of Western cuisine and Chinese food. This is likely how many Vancouverites got introduced to Chinese cuisine before the city evolved and more specialty restaurants open. The day that I visited, the restaurant was full of people eating, talking, and reading newspapers. It was refreshing and very cosy indeed. The diner is very modest. There is no fancy décor; the customers create the atmosphere.
