Café Gloucester: Vancouver's Classic Hong Kong-Style Cafe on Cambie Street
Café Gloucester has been one of Vancouver's best-loved Hong Kong-style cafes for more than 20 years, serving a massive all-day menu from its home on Cambie Street. In April 2026 it opened its first expansion, on Richmond's Alexandra Road, and the new location has been packed since.
Here's what to order at Café Gloucester.
About Café Gloucester
The cafe has built a loyal following across generations with consistent food, good service and a clean, modern dining room. Like classic Hong Kong cafes, it specialises in Canto-Western set meals that come with soup, bread and a drink.
It survived a temporary closure during Canada Line construction and remains a Cambie Street institution.
The Menu
How It Works
Set meals are the way to go: choose a soup, a main and a drink. Baked rice dishes and Western-style grills are the specialties.
What to Order
- Baked pork chop on rice: an iconic Hong Kong cafe dish.
- Signature mixed grill: pork chop, lamb chop, Italian sausage, sole cutlet, minute steak and a fried egg on one plate.
- Russian borscht: a Hong Kong cafe staple soup.
- Sliced beef shank noodle soup: one of the Richmond location's exclusive noodle bowls.
- Milk tea and yuen yeung: classic Hong Kong drinks.
Dietary Needs
