1. The Templeton
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L4
(604) 685-4612
Categories:
Diners,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
I had heard about the Templeton for a long time before actually going there, and it did not disappoint. The place was run pretty much single-handedly by our server, who defty moved customers from waiting at the counter to sitting at the tables as…More »
2. The Elbow Room Café
Vancouver, BC V6B 2G4
(604) 685-3628
Categories:
Diners,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Downtown
The slogan for this place is "Eggs and Abuse." The eggs were delicious ... but I didn't get any abuse! Which I'd heard so much about over the years. I feel a bit cheated! I was with friends who are total regulars, so maybe I got special treatment.…More »
3. Acme Café
Vancouver, BC V6B 1G4
(604) 569-1022
Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Downtown Eastside
I do believe the Acme Cafe is everything a diner should be. Its comforting and calming and clean. Great coffee. Killer pie. Daily specials. Mac and cheese. Meatloaf. Chicken Pot Pie! And for some true nostalgia, they serve Pop Shoppe in a variety of…More »
4. Docker's Diner
Vancouver, BC V5L 1H8
(604) 254-3732
Category:
Diners
Neighbourhood: Grandview-Woodlands
One visit and I am most definitely a fan of this cozy diner. It's not on the waterfront, but it's all about being on the waterfront. Though art studios are making inroads, the neighbourhood Dockers feeds is still industrial, backing onto the train…More »
5. Tomahawk Barbeque
North Vancouver, BC V7P 2V8
(604) 988-2612
Categories:
Barbeque,
Diners,
Breakfast & Brunch,
Canadian (Traditional)
You haven't had a really big breakfast until you've experienced a Tomahawk breakfast. Bring an appetite. Bring two. Even if you don't get the Yukon Breakfast - with five (!) pieces of back bacon, eggs, hash browns, and toast - you're still going to…More »
6. The Wallflower Modern Diner
Vancouver, BC V5T 3E2
(604) 568-7554
Categories:
Diners,
Gluten-Free,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
With the memory of an awesome Yelp Elite party still in mind (Jello shooters and big hair were involved; it was a memorable one), I stopped by the Wallflower for breakfast recently.
It's well-known for gluten-free/vegan food, which is not really my…More »
7. Helen's Grill
Vancouver, BC V5V 3P7
(604) 874-4413
Categories:
Diners,
Breakfast & Brunch,
Greek,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
I like going to Helen's for breakfast because they serve good straightforward food that you might get at a truck stop way, way, way out of town. I'm hungry, I order eggs and bacon, it fills me up. Nothing fancy, just honest home cooking, except I…More »
8. The Slocan
Vancouver, BC V5K 1Z8
(604) 254-9114
Categories:
Canadian (Traditional),
Burgers
Neighbourhood: Hastings-Sunrise
The Slocan has been around for as long as I can remember, but only the other day did I finally get a chance to try it out. It's an old-fashioned, bit-of-everything kind of place, where, as my sister says, you can take your grandma for a nice lunch or…More »
9. Bon's Off Broadway
Vancouver, BC V5N 5E5
(604) 253-7242
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, Hastings-Sunrise
How does Bon's give you a full breakfast for $2.95? I'm not sure I want to know the economics:food quality ratio, but desperate times sometimes call for bacon, eggs, potatoes, and your choice of toast.
We rolled in on a weekday morning, so it wasn't…More »
10. The Waffle House
Ever since I read Al R.'s review a few days ago, I've been craving waffles. Not French toast. Not pancakes. A big crispy golden waffle the size of a plate, with plenty of butter and syrup on it. And that's exactly what a Jiffy-Wiffy waffle is all…More »

This is your classic old-people restaurant with generic coffee, free Province newspapers (the better… Read more »
11. Round-Up Cafe
I'm glad we finally ventured into the Round-Up Cafe. This place is a diamond in the rough - the rough being Whalley. But this little diner on King George Highway is cute and cool and clean, with it's speckled vinyl booths and central lunch counter…More »
12. Fresgo Inn Restaurant
There is no way your eyes could be bigger than your stomach at the Fresgo Inn. Portions are simply enormous here - from the man-sized flans in the dessert case to a Ukrainian sausage that's sure to bring out your immature side ("Oh, I've never had a…More »
13. White Spot Restaurants
Good old White Spot. They've tried hard to tart themselves up in the past few years with their cocktail lists (mmm, Spotini) and that ad campaign with famous local chefs, but at least they've shown some sense by retaining the old favourites.…More »
14. Big Six Restaurant
Burnaby, BC V3N 3M7
(604) 521-9249
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Canadian (Traditional)
There are only two words you need to know about the Big Six: Trucker's Breakfast. Eggs, bacon, hashbrown, and toast - all the hangover-soaking grease you need - for under $4. Not the bestest best breakfast in the world, but if I don't have to cook…More »
Recently updated lists from Christine R.
Surrey. Yes, Surrey. (13)Finds in the much-maligned big city. |
Vacation in Washington State (18)I love a local vacation. Washington is so close to BC, yet has cheaper shopping and better customer service overall, plus the same fabulous West Coast scenery. |
Shopping for food (21)I love to cook, so food shopping is my favourite type of shopping, from big grocery stores for the everyday stuff to specialty shops for Wow factor ingredients. I like it local too. |
Adventures with Groupon (8)The end results of getting tempted by online deals and social coupons. |
Store pets (6)Visits with cats and dogs who live in retail land. Only by shopping the indies can you have these encounters, by the way! |
Can't talk, eating (3)The multi-tasking reviews ... food so good, I just gotta write about it now. |
Two sticks and a ball (4)Dealers in needles and yarn for my knitting habit. What did you think I was talking about? |
Playing House (5)In which I try to grow up and stop living like a student. |
Bright Lights, Royal City (50)Places to go and things to do in New Westminster, BC. It's a weird place but it kinds of grows on you after awhile. |
Bad tables in nice restaurants (5)I made reservations. So why am I sitting next to the kitchen or bathroom? |
