Fred’s Restaurant, renowned for its handmade pasta, hearth-fired pizza, and other Italian favourites, is gearing up to expand with a new flagship location in Kitsilano.
Located at 1873 West 4th Ave., Fred’s will open in the former home of Romer’s Burger Bar, which closed on Oct. 27, 2024.
“Kitsilano has this incredible energy — it’s community-driven, creative, and food-loving,” said Luke Evanow, CEO of Catalog Hospitality. “Fred’s feels right at home here, and we’re excited to welcome guests into a space that celebrates good food and good company.”
The new location will feature an oak-wrapped dining room, a two-tone Italian design bar, and a private space for up to 12 people.
