What is an Ultramarinos?
In Spain, an ultramarinos is the heart of the neighbourhood. It is a simple, friendly shop where you grab a quick bite, buy your essentials, and talk to the person behind the counter.
It is familiar, warm, and part of daily life. We created Ultramarinos Pepe to bring that same feeling to Vancouver.
One Step In and You're Already In Spain
When you walk into Ultramarinos Pepe, you step into a tiny corner of everyday Spain. You can grab a bocadillo made on the spot, order a quick café, discover the staples that make Spanish food so comforting and chat for a moment before continuing your day.
Everything feels simple, warm and familiar, the way neighbourhood shops work back home. You eat, you browse, you pick up your favourites and you leave with that small feeling of having been somewhere cosy and real.
