With seating up to 335 guests across a lounge, dining room, and an all-season covered patio, the Cactus Club Cafe Coquitlam offers fine casual dining paired with a contemporary, sophisticated aesthetic.
Inside, a refined material palette echoes the West Coast Canadian landscape. Rift-cut white oak, oil-rubbed bronze, and dark leather enhance the lounge and dining room with a warm, inviting atmosphere, while artworks by Andy Warhol provide an eye-catching moment. The bar, featuring a long-curved countertop, dark wood, and a bocci light fixture, adds a touch of glamour, epitomizing the Cactus Club brand and its high-energy vibe.
A seamless design is achieved by a continuous ribbon of wooden ceiling traverses the space, creating unity throughout the dining experience. Custom clerestory windows generously admit natural light, enhancing the overall atmosphere. A façade of glass fiber-reinforced concrete horizontal slats on the exterior, complemented by black aluminum framing and dark fir louvers, contributes to an engaging and materially vibrant backdrop for this newly constructed restaurant.
