About Cravings
Welcome to Cravings Restaurant + Lounge!
The doors were opened on March 17, 1991 by Angelo Khoshaba. We started out as Cravings Café, a local soup and sandwich joint with basic décor, good, simple food, an old VW art car for advertising and, of course, that Spicy Chicken Soup. Since then we’ve grown a lot and use a newer Bug; we’ve been a jungle and a Mediterranean wine cellar; we’ve been Cravings Bistro and now Cravings Restaurant + Lounge. Throughout the many changes, the constants have been warm, friendly service, delicious comfort food, great value and superb clientele.
Cravings Today . . .
Today we are what we have always been but with a fresh approach: hearty yet healthy, casually elegant, hip but without pretense. We are passionate about serving the freshest, most creative, most reasonably priced comfort food in South Vancouver and are proud to introduce Chef Dmitri Aronov. Whenever possible we seek to use locally grown, seasonal and organic ingredients, both for superior flavour and to reduce our footprint on the earth. We are proud to be partnered with the Vancouver Aquarium’s Ocean Wise program to ensure that as much of the seafood we serve as possible is caught by sustainable methods.
To You . . .
We invite you to join us in our two recently renovated rooms: The Atrium, with its high ceiling and classic, quiet ambiance or Cava, with its sophisticated yet cozy lounge plus dining area. Either room can be booked for private gatherings; think of us for birthdays, anniversaries, holiday parties, wedding receptions or rehearsal dinners, business functions and more.
Thank you for your virtual visit; we hope to see you soon in person in our cozy corner of Marpole!
