Well, this is the brief premise of ‘Appetite for Love’—Hallmark’s romantic flick that contains all the ingredients of a dreamy love story. There is also a quaint little town to add to the beauty! The movie makes excellent use of the setting to weave this whimsical tale, and this might make you wonder where ‘Appetite for Love’ has been filmed.
Appetite For Love: Where Was it Filmed?
Like most of Hallmark’s films, ‘Appetite for Love’ is filmed in Canada — to be more specific, in Vancouver, British Columbia. Vancouver is quite popular as a scenic destination and hence, it is a sought-after location by film companies and production crews to shoot movies, especially romantic ones. And this is the reason, the City of Vancouver has been branded as ‘Hollywood North’!
Most of the scenes in Appetite for Love also take place in a restaurant, which is the focal point of Clay and Mina’s love story. This eatery is called Hilltop Café, located at 23904 Fraser Highway, Langley, British Columbia, Canada.
The diner has been around since 1946 and is known to serve some of the best options for lunch and breakfast. Seated between Vancouver and Chilliwack, Hilltop Cafe has been featured in several other hit movies like ‘The Butterfly Effect’ and ‘The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants’. It has served as a favorite filming location for shows like ‘Supernatural,’ ‘Fringe,’ ‘The X-Files, ‘Beyond,’ and ‘Bates Motel,’ to name a few.
