JULY 13TH, 2010Too Cool For SchoolLocated in the not-so-hallowed halls of high schools and hospitals, cafeterias don’t have the best associations. But put the concept in the capable hands of Pied-à-Terre’s proprietors and it’s made très cool.
Food fight! Cafeteria, 2702 Main St., Vancouver, 778-317-3783.

The
only reminder that you’re eating at a cafeteria is the name (Cafeteria,
naturally) and a menu that changes every day. You won't find wet trays
or soggy fries here, just a range of filling, flavourful mains like Rex
Sole bathed in tomato, basil and olive oil ($18) alongside a good
selection of wine by the glass. And the 30-seat space, with its silver
table tops and a backsplash of bottles adorning the walls, is sexier
than any communal dining hall of yore we dreaded eating in.
