The Attic was a popular 1,200 seat Smörgåsbord restaurant in West Vancouver that was open from 1968 to 1981.[1] The owners were former Vancouver alderman Frank Baker, (1922 - 1989), and his wife Dorothy.[2]

Unique features

The Attic is most remembered for a 1964 James Bond car in a glass case as well as a Toronado 67 X[3] built by George Barris for Expo 67. Both cars were parked out front for public view and sold near the time of the restaurant's closing.[4][5]

There was a statue of David in the women's washroom. When the leaf was lifted on this statue, alarms would sound and/or lights would flash alerting other patrons and causing embarrassment to the person who lifted it.[6]

Lance Harrison and the Dixieland Band entertained patrons, with Baker playing his trumpet on many occasions. He would also greet people at the door playing it. Baker also had a 12' by 6' weather vane mounted on the roof of him playing a trumpet.[7]

Baker's was an avid collector of Tiffany lamps. His huge collection, said to be "over a hundred", were in use throughout the restaurant.

In 2005 it was inducted into the B.C. Restaurant Hall of Fame.[8]
