Godiva's is a Canadian television comedy-drama series, which debuted on Bravo! and Citytv in 2005; each episode is one hour in length. It completed a successful two-season run in 2006, but though the show received rave reviews, it was cancelled by CHUM broadcasting. There are currently attempts at getting a third season made. The series was created by Michael MacLennan with Julia Keatley of Keatley Entertainment. The series was nominated for numerous Gemini Awards including Best Series. It was celebrated for its intelligent, fast-paced depiction of young Canadians in the restaurant industry.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The restaurant was named after a real Vancouver spot, though filming happened on a soundstage that crew members said smelled permanently of garlic.
Godiva's arrived the same year as Kitchen Confidential's failed US adaptation, proving Canada could do food TV drama better with one-tenth the budget. CHUM still killed it.
