Neighbourhoods
Restaurants and shopping in Cedar Cottage
Cedar Cottage is between Fraser and Knight on either side of Kingsway. That area of Kingsway is known at Little Saigon, so you can imagine that you’ll easily be able to find some fantastic Vietnamese cuisine. Kim Châu Delicatessen is your best bet for a banh mi. House of Dosas is another neighbourhood favourite. There’s also a great coffee house called Cedar Cottage Coffee House and a little night time establishment called the Cedar Cottage Neighbourhood Pub (are you sensing the pride in the neighbourhood here?). Sal y Limon is a great Mexican restaurant at Fraser and Kingsway, and you’ll find quite a few other restaurants and coffee houses in that neighbourhood as well. Famous Foods is a great, healthy, grocery store in the area.
