For over 70 years, the Normandy was the popular spot at 2675 Granville Street to meet friends and grab a bite to eat. Simple, affordable fare, and good coffee were the main ingredients of this neighbourhood institution known to generations of Vancouverites. As popular as the food was, the restaurant’s resident card and tea leaf reader helped draw in the patrons as well. Unfortunately, in 2005 a fire brought an end to the well loved place.
