1. Goldies Pizza & Beer Lounge
The 'za window looked awesome, and perfecto for an" oh-oh my parking has expired" or "it's 3 o'clock and they're gonna tow my ride" kinda fix, but I had a hankering for a pint and lots of time to kill. Plus, I'm pretty certain they wouldn't let me…More »
2. Motomachi Shokudo
My stars still stand, my love still stills my beating heart, I will still slay dragons, walk through fire (or the line up at Kintaro) for one of your free-range soft poached eggs, some bamboo shoots and your perfectly cooked noodles... even if you…More »

3. The Templeton
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L4
(604) 685-4612
Categories:
Diners,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Good place for comfort food.
It was late-ish night time and it was quiet inside. I like the decor, the juke box and, most of all, the french fries.
I had a grilled veggie (zucchini + eggplant) and cheese open face sandwich on foccacia. The veggies…More »
4. Café Zen On Yew
Vancouver, BC V6K 3E6
(604) 731-4018
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
On my quest for the perfect hollandaise sauce to complement my taste for the perfectly poached egg, I tried out Café Zen.
They nailed the poached eggs in my benji-mushroom benny, but the hollandaise still lacks something. Perhaps it was the thickness…More »
5. The Whip Restaurant Gallery
Vancouver, BC V5T 1J7

Categories:
Bars,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
This was my first time to the Whip. I loved the atmosphere. At first, I was a little worried that it was so quiet at 9 on a Saturday night. By 10 it was slammed! It got loud--but not so loud that we had to scream at each other. (My pet peeve is…More »
6. The Naam
Oh how you've rescued me so many a late night! With fist-fulls of sesame fries, cheese curds and miso gravy.
I could not survive without you by my side. All of those drunken stupors where you've let me nap on your wooden tables and, with a watchful…More »
7. Joe's Grill
Vancouver, BC V6E 1M5
(604) 682-3683
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: West End
When a pregnant friend texts you on a Saturday morning and says she's craving a tomato and avocado eggs benny from Joe's Grill --you go with her!
Knowing it would be busy inside on a weekend, we bundled up and prepared to sit on the patio. Which is…More »
8. La Belle Patate
Vancouver, BC V6E 1N4
(604) 569-1215
Categories:
Fast Food,
Poutineries
Neighbourhood: West End
Here's hoping that the new owners got a good deal when they took over what was once Shanghai 1949. I never ate at it's predecessor, which sat always suspiciously empty and dark. A coat of yellow paint, some Quebec license plates, and voilà, we've got…More »
9. Tartine Bread & Pies
I love me some tarts, tarts, tarts. I need those tarts, tarts, tarts. Give me those tarts, tarts, tarts.
Tartine bread has become a staple in my kitchen (not sliced, thanks!), and every week or so, I skip out to "grocery shop" and give myself a wee…More »

Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Brunch at Barney's didn't disappoint! Just beating the lunch rush, I settled into a table (they're tightly packed) and very easily discerned what I wanted off of the menu- a Commando Benny.
Perfect choice! The hollandaise was spot on; finally a benny…More »

What everyone else said.
I went...
I miso-ed...
I teriy-ed!
---That was an hour ago and I already crave more.
12. Delany's Coffee House
Default, fall back, can't-think-of-anywhere-else-t o-go-when-I-need-my-fix kind of place, I often happen upon Delany's when I'm crashing, mid afternoon.
Drink and food wise, it does what it needs to do: jolts me awake with caffeine and perks me up…More »
13. Papa's Gourmet Pizza
2 of us dined for about $8.99. Getting set up for an event at Heritage Hall, I dived in here for a quick bite. Steaming and gooey pizza, having just come out of the oven and I couldn't be happier. Especially when there was a little place to perch on…More »
14. Marmalade Kitchen & Bar - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6E
(604) 689-7800
Categories:
Lounges,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: West End
Marmalade, I don't mind that you charge a little extra for that kind of water view real estate, skimped on the seasoning for the hashbrowns, used conventional eggs in your benny and housed your meh ketchup in Marmalade branded glass water bottles.

Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
I wish I could say that Abigail's was a neighbourhood spot for me. It's just far enough away that on a cold and rainy day, I must drive and endure the parking blunders that are inevitable where permit parking exists. But that doesn't stop me from…More »

Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
I was awoken when a friend threw stones at my window at an early morning hour to go for breakfast (okay, it was a phone call, and lots of people are up at 9 on a Sunday...I'm just not one of them) We wanted a no-line-up spot so enter Juliet's Cafe,…More »

Categories:
Italian,

Neighbourhood: West End
Cafe Luxy is almost always packed when I walk by it. I've eaten there and had takeout a few times before - but never thought it was anything to write home about since we make pretty good pasta at home.
It was full again last night when I decided to…More »

"For the Love of Medina"
Oh your lavender latte was unexpectedly lovely
But your raspberry version took my breath away...
The murmurings of those sipping and chatting
Melted me into my chair while my heart fell for
The waffles, of which I
Partook in…More »

Categories:

Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
I will only go to Deacon's Corner when James is working! He made a sandwich suggestion that's not on the menu and is so delish! Ready for it?
A BLT with fried egg, cheese and avocado... oh my, oh my! I ate all of it without any hesitation!
