There’s always room for dessert, especially when it looks this sweet. Designed by Glasfurd and Walker with art deco inspiration, Mosquito Dessert looks like a 1920s speakeasy but with sugary treats.

“Mosquito have a simple offering: a champagne bar without the caviar and a dessert bar without with frosting. Located in Gastown, Vancouver the small room contradicts the expectation of a traditional dessert bar – edgy with a fine balance of masculine and feminine details.”

Instead of bright, playful hues to attract people, a deep, navy blue and shining bronze make Mosquito feel like an exquisite, upscale nightclub. A simple, thin font expresses elegance without requiring many words. The restaurant certainly defies expectation by communicating the unique experience it offers.
