White Spot, a long-established British Columbia restaurant chain, is reopening at Vancouver International Airport with a redesigned space and enhanced culinary offerings.
The new location features a West Coast-inspired aesthetic that combines natural materials with contemporary design elements to create an inviting atmosphere for travelers. Alongside signature dishes like the Legendary Burger and Spot's Fish & Chips, White Spot's upgraded menu introduces airport-exclusive items including Wagyu burgers, Neapolitan-style pizza, and craft cocktails. The ingredients are locally sourced.
The restaurant operates extended hours to accommodate varying flight schedules and includes full-service dining, lounge, and bar options. To mark the occasion, White Spot will host a Golden Ticket Giveaway event where attendees can win travel-related prizes, including a $3,000 vacation package.
