I wanted to love this place. I found them through yelp and after reading their menu I was in love.
We arrived to a 20 minute wait - that's not a problem, I don't mind waiting for good food. The place was packed for brunch, and I loved the quirky…More »

We're a brunch couple, and thanks to yelp we are able to search for new places to try out. I had driven by this place several times, always thinking that it was a cute little cafe from the outside. When we went in we were surprised how large it…More »

This is what a restaurant should be like. We arrived thanks to yelp, trying it out for brunch on a weekday.
The menu looked awesome online and when we got there we had trouble picking because there was so much yumminess!

This place is a dichotomy, so awesome, and yet so mediocre. Here's why:
THE AWESOME - live bluegrass music while you eat? Yes please! Such a friendly atmosphere and general vibe, and the music is pretty sweet.
THE MEDIOCRE - the food. Their brunch,…More »

I love this place for brunch, for drinks, for a snack..
The decor is.. weirdly awesome. There are statues of naked cherubs, candles with jesus on them, strange art on the walls, and melted candles everywhere.
Add to that the 'abandoned warehouse' look…More »
I've been here twice now, both for brunch, and the food has always been really great. The little smoothie that comes with the breakfasts is awesome. The menu has some really nice brunch options -from stuffed french toast to your classic eggs&bacon.

I don't know how many times I've been here, it's always been for breakfast. They used to have a $4 breakfast, and that was awesome. Then it became the $5 breakfast, and that was still pretty rockin'. It's now the $6.50 breakfast, but it's still…More »
I was staying in the Crystal Lodge, and the Mix is theirs, so when we wanted brekkie before a day on the hill, we figured the short stop would be a good call - and boy-oh-boy it was!

Just like the italian opera that is its name-sake, I adored this place.
It had been recommended to me for dinner because of their live Jazz, but I could only make it to have brunch there on my last day in Victoria.
I checked the menu briefly online…More »

I came back here after the owner, Doug, contacted me on Yelp confirming that they had indeed changed cooks, but that the bad cook had since been let go. I was happy to give the place another shot, since I miss having the Central as my regular brunch…More »

I've eaten here a few times, and I have to say, my heart didn't leap out of my chest and start caressing the dishes placed infront of me, but it wasn't a bad meal either.
I've had breakfast and lunch, and both times the food was good, well presented,…More »

This has been my 'go-to' for breakfast and lunch at work. I still love their food and think it's a really great place, but I felt I needed to comment about the service. It's hit or miss here. The staff are regulars, and sometimes they greet you with…More »

Being of Latin origin, I clearly felt the need to explore this place and be among my spanish-speaking brethren. I headed here for the first time to watch the Argentina-Mexico World Cup match.
I loved that they had a little menu of specialty breakfasts…More »
This is where you go for a leisurely brunch on a sunday. The place is unassuming, kind of got a home-diner feel, and the food is great.
Yes, the service is slow, but it's brunch, what's your hurry? This place is awesome for sitting down with someone…More »

I'm a huge fan of trying places that look a little sketchy, kind of like grungy dives, because you often get great service and good food. This place definitely was 2 for 2 on that!
The server kept calling me sweetheart - she was a nice lady who was…More »
This place knows its coffee. They also love the planet and that makes me, in turn, love them.
The coffee cups are compost-able, they have a compost in the cafe. The stir sticks are raw fettuccine to save on shopping down trees and using wood. This…More »
I just realised i've never reviewed this place and I don't know how it slipped past my radar, I LOOOOOVE the sunshine diner.

The Best Burgers in Vancouver (1)I'm pretty picky about my burger. I know from first bite what a good burger is, and what a mediocre charred piece of crap is, so trust me when I tell you this list is gold. |
Eco Finds in Vancouver (10)Being a complete and utter sustainability geek, I've spent a lot of time scouring the city for the best places to eat, shop, and enjoy.I'm listing all my favourite socially responsible and eco-friendly businesses. |
Brazilians of Yaletown (3)This is a ladies-only list - I'm on a mini quest. I work in Yaletown and my lunch break is about the only convenient time for personal admin (yes - I'm calling it that.)So.. I'm trying out the local haunts to find the best one. The one that won't hurt. The one that is clean. The one without awkwardness. The one I can tell my friends about. |
