Modern Cafe in downtown Nanaimo spotlights simple craftsmanship with a funky mix of old meets new.

A modern-day rendezvous set in a heritage site built in 1910. Modern Cafe building acquired a simple, international style facade that projected a more modern progressive outlook.

The Moderncafe is a fashionable all-day dining lounge that balances comfort and sophistication. Our cuisine is chef-driven and rooted in quality, showcasing fresh, seasonal, and local ingredients creatively and authenticially. We invite you to enjoy without guilt, as our healthy-meets-indulgent menu excites, nourishes and satisfies.

We plan to offer something for everyone, from a classic & modern cocktail menu for the casual sipper, a "tapas" style bar menu featuring "small plates" to accompany, and a diverse main menu that features steakhouse meets fusion dishes that will be sure to excite and ignite!
