It began with just a saloon founded by the legendary ‘Gassy’ John Deighton in the 1870s, and today Gastown is a thriving hub of art galleries, historic sites, music venues, bars & cocktail lounges.

And of course amazing restaurants serving everything from comfort food to authentic ethnic cuisine. 

For a bite of exceptional Italian food in Gastown, we recommend you try Millie. You’ll also like their interior, with exciting vintage posters that add to the great vibe of the place.

The venue functions both as a daytime cafe where you can take a sip of true Italian coffee, and as a sit-down restaurant where you can grab lunch or dinner.

On their menu you’ll find always fresh seasonal salads and some fantastic selection of pizzas, pasta, and antipasti.

You want to try their pizza Margherita with Fior Di Latte, although you also want to try their Margherita with Mozzarella Di Bufala, which takes it to the next level with its luscious mozzarella chunks made from buffalo milk.

The dough is chewy and they always put plenty of cheese as well as a lot of tomato sauce. In case you are up for pasta, have their creamy and peppery Cacio e Pepe.

What to order: Margherita with Fior Di Latte, Margherita with Mozzarella Di Bufala, Cacio e Pepe

Jose Hernandez

My name is Jose Ruben Hernandez Rodriguez, over the last 30 years I have worked for the communications industry in my hometown. I´m a lover and passionate about moving images, I started my career in the early 90's in Radiopolis for a radio station WFM 96.9 as a promo producer, Televisa San Angel within the Quality Control Coordination and as 1AD of Betty Sheridan, who was an important TV Director. In 1997 I started my own company; EnMedio (first communication agency in Mexico) in which I participated as Creative Director and Producer for at least 14 years, implementing successful communications and marketing campaigns for important companies. Since 2007 I am a partner of BF Digital (Boyler Films SC) and Collector Media Makers, working as a video producer, mainly focusing in communications, public relations and marketing areas for different brands-products and companies in Mexico. In 2018 I had the opportunity to work in the documentary Ayotzinapa, el paso de la Tortuga, currently in Netflix, as a post-production supervisor under the production of Bertha Navarro and three-time Academy Award-winning Guillermo del Toro. With this wonderful experience I discovered the importance of documentary filmmaking and that is why I came to study in Vancouver. In September 2023 I graduated from Film Production Program (Diploma) at InFocus Film School. With the aim of expanding my graphics skills, I am currently studying Graphic Design Diploma at VCC Goal. Create pieces that provoke the viewer. Develop, transcend... Grow!
