Vancouver restaurant Wallflower Diner is closing this summer

The cozy diner was known for being quirky and had vegetarian and vegan versions of its dishes.

A Vancouver diner is looking for its next owners, but after searching far and wide to no avail, the Wallflower Diner is closing its doors for good.

“We were really hoping that someone would be able to pick up the pieces and preserve the legacy, but everyone is devastated,” the owners shared on social media.

The cozy spot serving brunch, burgers and drinks has survived the pandemic, a feat that has co-owners Heather Silagy and Eric Nielsen working hard.

“Eric and I are extremely proud to keep The Wallflower going through the pandemic. We worked without days off for a very long time,” they shared online.

The Wallflower Diner was known for its quirkiness and made vegetarian and vegan versions of its dishes. The owners even hosted a Rick Moranis-themed art show (there’s a great video of that, too).

Vancouverites have a few days left to dine before the diner’s final day on July 12.
