Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Coming here post-theatre is like going to Chuck-E-Cheese's after visiting your grandparents at their retirement home. (No disrespect). Everyone was super cool a la urban outfitters; the 50's-60's mod music was a five star; the waitress in her indigo…More »

Yay! Finally got to go there today after a day of fasting, and illness. All good now. :) I was excited to be able to eat again and ready to try Jethro's, as it seems to be the most desirable new breakie joint these days.
Seemed like it would be a…More »

RW used to be a five star for food, and I always loved going here, in spite of the wait.
Until yesterday.
At first, I thought that they were just working out the kinks, but nope, the
hostess is the worst I've experienced yet.
I arrived 30 minutes…More »

Still slow service, even after 2 pm on a Sunday. They did take my advice and get a few smaller… Read more »

Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
Just a nice weekday brunch place.
We wanted something light.
I had the 1/2 eggs benny. Was good, but the cheese sauce was a bit like the kind you see poured on nachos at the movies; the kind you vow never to order again after trying them once. Still,…More »

I had brunch here after a night at Opus. The $40 food credit was included in my package, which was actually a pretty decent deal.
Ordered: lobster/crab Benedict; hollandaise on side. Side potatoes included.
Drink: latte/coffee/ juice (not fresh…More »

Dear LB,
Why did you get rid of the stamp card? I was sooo close. I am saddened by the loss, but I guess you don't need to offer free coffee when it's that tasty. :)
Love your coffee, your service, your patrons and most of all your Ham and Cheese…More »
7. Nelson the Seagull

Categories:

Neighbourhoods: Gastown, Downtown Eastside
A quaint "huge" coffeeshop that takes you back to simpler times. But careful, if you order up too much of this goodness and work on your laptop instead of tending your crops, it'll go straight to the waistline. :)
For breakfast:
Try the pastries:…More »
8. Cobs Bread
I love the croissants from here esp. the ham and cheese or the spinach and cheese. Service is always friendly and efficient.
Today they were donating to Big Brothers which was pretty cool, too. They always offer a few samples which is nice if you…More »

I returned here at the owner's request, and never was I treated so well. I ordered a variety of items and did not have long to stay. I should mention that he didn't know that I was a…More »

Looks really cute but they couldn't even heat up my cheese croissant since they had no heating device on premise. Sorta odd if you ask me, considering they are connected to the hotel and are supposed to cater to tourists. The croissant was light and…More »

For brunch, the 30 minute wait was reduced to 10, but only b/c we opted to sit at the high tables which made us feel that we were actually with the group next to us.
Coffee-exceptional.
Two egg dishes- Croque Madame which was sunny side up arrived…More »

The brunch was one of the best I've had, so I would have liked to give this place 4-5 stars.
But I was just charged $10 for a bodum of coffee, that served barely two cups. (I had to order two as the first one was weak). I am sorry, but I thought that…More »

Minutes in Maui (16)Well, that's what it felt like. Here's the "quick list." TBC. |

Fish no more! (17)Where the sea meets the table from high end to low end. |
Sogra. So-wha? That's right: the Granville-Broadway area. (22)Not to be confused with Granville South--otherwise known as Marpole. A quick glance at my "stars" will tell you that this just might not be the hottest part of town! |
