Neate Donuts – New Donut Shop by JJ Bean Coffee

The Neate family (owner of JJ Bean Coffee) first started their business in Vancouver in the 1940s delivering coffee and donuts around town. The donut aspect was lost over the years but now they're bringing it back. Enters Neate Donuts at the Oceanic Plaza.

Until March 1, you will find the Frost & Fable Pop-up on Fridays and Saturdays at Hotel Belmont in Downtown Vancouver.

[Dine Out Vancouver 2025] Alouette Bistro at Executive Hotel Le Soleil Vancouver

Since Alouette Bistro opened in 2021, I haven't had much opportunity to try them since Downtown Vancouver is no longer my stomping ground. Their Dine Out menu offers limited, but solid choices, and some of my favourite classic French dishes. So, I was actually quite excited to try their Dine Out menu and I had Papa Lam as my lunch date. Yes, the $49 Dine Out menu is available for both lunch and dinner here at Alouette.
