Last night the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver hosted a preview event for their new pop-up restaurant on the 15th floor of their iconic downtown accommodation, announcing that The Roof will be open this month.
Under the copper green roof of the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, The Roof will be open from February, 2014 through to the fall and it will be the hotel’s main venue for breakfast, lunch, and dinner service. Decades ago the space was a staple of the Vancouver dining and after work cocktail scene, serving up prime rib — and unique city views — that long time locals still talk about to this day.
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Afternoon Tea
Samples were streaming out of the kitchen at the preview event as guests enjoyed “The Roof Negroni” cocktails and Moscow Mules served in copper cups.
Chef Cameron will create classic, simple, and fresh menu items along with prime cuts of Certified Angus Beef, Sakura Farms Pork and Innisfail Lamb. Fish lovers can choose from the freshest BC Wild Salmon, Haida Gwaii Halibut and Ahi Tuna accompanied by comfortable and creative side dishes.
Dawn Chubai performing at the preview event. Live music will be featured at The Roof.
Once open for service, The Roof will have a breakfast buffet Monday to Friday along with breakfast a-la-carte, lunch, and dinner. Keeping with Fairmont tradition, Afternoon Tea will also be served daily. The bar will have a “bar bites” menu and daily beverage service.
Follow the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver on Facebook and Twitter for the latest updates about The Roof and make your reservations by emailing hvc.events[at]fairmont.com.
The Rio Theatre is serving up a mix of romantic hits and fan favourites as this month’s Friday Late Night Movies. These 19+ screenings can be complimented with a beverage from the theatre’s full service bar as you enjoy a night out with friends. Tickets are available online in advance or at the door for $8 or $6 if you come in costume.
Rio Theatre Friday Late Night Movies
February 7, 2014
Say Anything…
(Cameron Crowe, 1989)
John Cusack’s iconic performance as the boombox-toting kickboxer Lloyd Dobler, who falls in love with “a brain trapped in the body of a game show hostess” (Ione Skye) in director Cameron Crowe’s Say Anything…, is, arguably, one of the best teen films to come out of the 1980s. It also happens to be one of our most requested films and the perfect movie to kick off February’s Friday Late Night Movie series. Also starring Lili Taylor, Jeremy Piven, John Mahoney, and Peter Gabriel’s ultra-romantic love song, In Your Eyes.
February 14, 2014
Romeo + Juliet (Baz Luhrmann, 1996)
Baz Luhrmann’s dizzyingly kinetic and thoroughly modern re-telling of William Shakespeare’s revered tragedy about two star-crossed young lovers (Leonardo DiCaprio, Claire Danes) is a must-see on the big screen and the perfect late night Valentine’s Day movie. The film is notable not just for its all-star cast (John Leguizamo, Paul Sorvino, Paul Rudd, Brian Dennehy, Harold Perrineau, Pete Postlethwaite, and many more) and its killer soundtrack (featuring songs by The Cardigans, Radiohead and Garbage) but because it manages to remain loyal to The Bard’s original, beautiful text. (Although… it doesn’t end well.)
February 21, 2014
A Clockwork Orange (Stanley Kubrick, 1971)
Stanley Kubrick’s ultra-violent, ultra-sarcastic, and ultra-visionary film set in a futuristic Britain follows the misadventures of charismatic delinquent Alex DeLarge (Malcolm McDowell), who volunteers for an experimental aversion therapy developed by the government in an effort to solve society’s crime problems while he is in prison… but not all goes according to plan. Featuring lots of Beethoven and a truly terrifying take on ocular surgery.
February 28, 2014
Donnie Darko (Richard Kelly, 2001)
Jake Gyllenhaal’s career took off after his turn as the titular Donnie Darko, a troubled teen plagued by visions of a large bunny rabbit that manipulates him to commit a series of crimes after narrowly escaping a bizarre accident. Donnie Darko has quietly emerged as a huge cult favorite following its initial release, and features strong supporting performances from an incredible cast including Patrick Swayze, Jena Malone, Drew Barrymore, Mary McDonnell, Maggie Gyllenhaal (playing Darko’s sister, of course), Katharine Ross, Seth Rogen, and Noah Wyle.
The Rio Theatre is an independent art and movie house located at 1660 West Broadway, at Commercial Drive, and is easily accessible by transit. Follow along on Facebook and Twitter for more film screenings, comedy showcases, and special event information.

Though it’s commonly known outside of the country as a beanie, wool hat or a knit-cap, it’s a toque to us and it’s playing an important role on Tuesday as it helps find long term solutions to end homelessness in Canada.
Toque Tuesday
Toque Tuesday is a part of a national campaign that has been running for the last 17 years and this Tuesday, February 4, 2014 over 40,000 volunteers across the country will be selling toques for a cause.
Toques are $10 each with 80% of net funds staying right in the communities where they are sold. The remaining 20% of funds raised from toque sales will go to Raising the Roof’s national projects. In Vancouver the beneficiaries are the Lookout Emergency Aid Society and Pacific Community Resources Society.
The public and businesses can also help out by selling toques in their workplaces, get-togethers and other venues. For more information on how to help sell toques, email Lani at [email protected]. Those interested in volunteering can contact Janice at [email protected].
Head to one of these locations on Tuesday, February 4, 2014 to purchase your toque:
