White Spot, B.C.’s beloved family-casual restaurant, is making its legendary return to Vancouver International Airport (YVR) this month with a unique twist. Guests can expect the same warm welcome and iconic dishes they love, complemented by a refreshed West Coast-inspired design and exclusive new menu items tailored to the YVR community. To celebrate, White Spot is hosting a special Golden Ticket Giveaway on April 9, where one lucky guest will have the chance to win a Great Canadian Getaway Package valued at $3,000.
A Fresh Take on a Familiar Favourite
After a brief hiatus, White Spot is landing back at YVR with a new space that blends contemporary aesthetics with a nod to its B.C. roots. The restaurant features earthy tones of rich greens, warm reds and copper accents, mixed with wood and stone textures, creating a welcoming atmosphere for guests. The location offers a full-service restaurant, lounge, and bar, open daily from 4:00 AM to midnight—perfect to satisfy the cravings of early-morning and late-night travellers alike.
“We are excited to bring White Spot back to YVR, with a renewed fresh look and unique menu designed for the YVR community,” said Trent Carroll, President of White Spot. “We’re grateful for the opportunity provided by YVR and the involvement of our valued partner, ECG Ventures II, whose shared vision and expertise have played a key role in getting us to opening day. We can’t wait to welcome more travellers from B.C. and beyond through our doors to experience the great taste and hospitality White Spot is known for.”
The newest White Spot marks the brand’s second airport location—the other located at Kelowna International Airport—and the second restaurant collaboration between White Spot and ECG Ventures II, following the opening of Triple O’s at YVR early last year.
“ECG Ventures II is thrilled to be part of White Spot landing back at YVR,” added Gerry Inglis, CEO of ECG Ventures II. “Our long-standing partnership with the YVR team has paved the way for this exciting new partnership with White Spot. With a shared commitment to hospitality excellence and innovation, we are pleased to bring a unique menu and exceptional dining experience to travellers. This restaurant is more than just a place to eat, it’s a reflection of our dedication to quality and service. We look forward to welcoming guests from all over and offering them a taste of an iconic B.C. institution.”
Bold New Flavours Meet Classic Comfort
White Spot’s newest location features an innovative menu that balances bold, new flavours with the signature dishes that made the restaurant a favourite. In addition to beloved classics like the Legendary Burger, Bacon Cheddar Burger, The Spot’s Fish & Chips and more, travellers can enjoy exclusive-to-YVR creations curated by White Spot’s Culinary Team, such as Crispy Tofu, Tuna Poke, Wagyu Burgers, and Neapolitan-style Pizza. Guests can also sip on exclusive handcrafted cocktails, craft beer on tap, and refreshing non-alcoholic beverages designed to pair perfectly with their meal. The menu emphasizes fresh, locally sourced ingredients, delivering a memorable dining experience for guests before their journey.
“We’re thrilled to welcome back White Spot to YVR,” said Eric Pateman, Vice President, Passenger Experience & Chief Experience Officer at YVR. “White Spot returning to its pre-security location underscores YVR’s ongoing commitment to offering travellers and visitors a unique experience through local, high-quality brands. With exclusive menu items crafted specifically for YVR, this is an opportunity to experience the best of B.C.’s diverse culinary scene at the airport.”
