1. Burger Burger
BURGER BURGER BURGER BURGER reads a sign that wraps around this cute restaurant. And they definitely have their priorities straight, only losing focus for fries. Although it's not clearly stated that BURGERBURGER is the restaurants name and not it's…More »
2. Master Chef Café
Vancouver, BC V5K 1Y8
(604) 254-6352
Categories:
Canadian (Traditional),
Diners
Neighbourhood: Hastings-Sunrise
The master is here! A friend told me of the best greasy spoon food served by the weirdest man, and promised if I went Id be going back forever. As the greasy spoon aficionado, I trusted her and took a bus down one hungover Saturday, and walked in to…More »
3. Taqueria Playa Tropical
Taqueria Playa Tropical would definitely not change their name to it's English equivalent. They are obviously proud to be a proper Mexican restaurant in New Westminster; and they could actually set a standard. They do their best to live up to "the…More »
4. Uncle Fatih's Pizza
Vancouver, BC V5N 1V9
(604) 707-0744
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive, Kensington-Cedar Cottage
This tiny room on the street (mostly dedicated to kitchen space) at commercial and broadway has a similarly dedicated east van following as Bons on Broadway. A surprisingly lewd poem about Fatihs written by a fan over a year ago adorns the wall…More »
5. Romano's Pizza
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L2
(604) 568-5470
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Romano's serves the best pizza slice on Granville st, whatever that slice may be covered in. These potentially include chicken, beef, ham, and a variety of vegetables including pesto, mushrooms, spicy peppers, etc. And a whole bunch of greasy cheese,…More »
6. Prime Time Chicken
Vancouver, BC V6A
(604) 568-6999
I came here to follow up on my neighbors excited exclamations upon dining here. If I was to believe her rumors (and i did) amazing chicken and fries cooked crisp and greasy awaited me on the corner of Main and Hastings. So one day after picking up my…More »

Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, Hastings-Sunrise
For the price and the atmosphere, bon's in the best all-day breakfast diner in Vancouver. It's not the best restaurant in Vancouver, and not the best bar, but it is the best diner you will find for the value.
Bon's is usually quite busy, as has been…More »
9. Duffin's Donuts
Vancouver, BC V5W 1R7
(604) 325-5544
Categories:
Chinese,
Doughnuts,
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Sunset, Kensington-Cedar Cottage
This is one of my favorite donut and burger shops open 24 hours in south van. If I was in the neighborhood more often I;'d likely be eating here 3 or 4 nights a week! Which would be a horrible thing for my gut and my wallet (they are really pricey on…More »

(604) 254-3629
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Diners
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
the minute you walk in to this place you notice something very unfamiliar about it. The decor is like nothing you've ever seen before, with giant painted murals being covered by decorations of every athletic and religious nature. There's a lone old…More »
11. Truong Giang Vietnamese Sandwich
Vancouver, BC V6A 1P4
(604) 258-4099
Categories:
Delis,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
As you the name implies, Truong Giang is Vietnamese food and proud of it. A tiny cafe with a simple menu and fresh ingredients, what more to ask? How about well conceived menu items and minimalist decorations brought to you by an actual family…More »
12. Super Great Pizza
Vancouver, BC V5R 5A8
(604) 433-0222
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhood: Renfrew-Collingwood
They can't quite claim to be both super and great, but one or the other descriptor completely suites their pizza. Their Super Great Pizza is thick yeasty crust, lots of mozzarella, and unique topping varieties of pesto, feta, chicken, and beef along…More »
13. Uncle Fatihs Pizza
Uncle Fatihs just opened another location of it's new franchise, right on the edge of gas town and around the corner from GM Place. I really like the pizza on the Commercial location, so this West end contribution peaked my curiosity.
They were…More »
14. Brado Pizza
Vancouver, BC V5L 3X5
(604) 251-7251
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
Good poutine. Good pizza. Bad poutine pizza.
After ordering nearly everything else on the menu in this mini mall of independent restaurants, I finally caved and ordered a poutine pizza. Since they dont offer them by the slice, you have to order an…More »
15. Nicolelina's Cafe
A very tiny restaurant on the Port Moody strip, in a small strip mall full of other small store fronts. They advertise their all day breakfast special on a huge banner, which is a relief when you happen to be hung over on a Saturday or Sunday morning…More »
16. La Tandoori
Ive been here more than once for their samosas, and I have to say that theyre probably the greatest snack this street has to offer. Not only are they incredibly reasonably priced, they're seasonably delicious! and feasibly the best deal on samosas in…More »
17. Zhao Mah Bakery
What Zhao Mah lacks in size it makes up for in diversity. Despite having the width of a small alleyway and the depth of a large flatbed, this bakery offers a very diverse selection of cheaply priced baked goods. From their fresh steam buns to the…More »
18. Kent's Kitchen
Vancouver, BC V6A 1X5
(604) 669-2237
In comparison to the chinese food fare in Chinatown, this isnt the best for food quality. The chow mein's always really heavy on the soy and a lot of their menu items dont seem fresh. But the place is always packed for a reason - big portions, little…More »
19. Nice Café
Vancouver, BC V5T 1R7
(604) 874-4024
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Their standard breakfast is impeccable. Everything is cooked perfectly to order and they can serve a descent sized group a hot meal without staggering it. But the dining room is really quite tiny, so try to avoid it in groups of more than four, which…More »
20. Save On Meats
Vancouver, BC V6B 1G4
(604) 569-3568
They closed the meat shop earlier this year, leaving Save-On-Meat disorienting, large, and empty. There's a pharmacy desk on the West side of the store and a grill in the back. The dining menu is unchanged, to the point where they still offer to cook…More »
21. Yummy Sushi
Vancouver, BC V6J 3E2
(604) 731-7110
Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
I dont know what cloud I was floating on when I ate here this summer, perhaps it was the weather and the company that had me coming back for pre-beach eats, but eating here today was lackluster at best. The bacon was hard and cold, the hashbrown…More »

22. New Richman Restaurant
This diner in New West serves up cheap Chinese and traditional diner fare on their extensive menu. It looks... clean, well lit, and sparsely decorated... in other words like many other nondescript pay more for food than decor diners! I ordered my 4th…More »

The Smile Diner is an all-day breakfast diner in a great location above pidgeon park that is never really crowded. There's always a nicely upholstered booth available, and plenty of window seating. The staff are quite attentive and will address your…More »
24. Excellent Sushi
Vancouver, BC V6Z
(604) 687-0038
Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
The sushi is decent enough, its rolled right in front of you and it has some flavor and texture... to be honest, I dont know much about sushi, but if I get a craving for it and im nearby I dont mind spending $5 on the 22 piece here (comes with some…More »
25. Burger King
Vancouver, BC V6A 2W5
(604) 872-1785
Cold burgers that taste slightly better than McDonalds and a patio that looks and smells only slightly better than an alley way define this burger king. A lot of seagulls hang out in their lot thanks to its gorgeous location next to False Creek, but…More »
26. Ovaltine Cafe
Vancouver, BC V6A 1P2
(604) 685-7021
Category:
Diners
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
When I was young, daring, and afraid of the homeless, I explored the downtown eastside with a real hesitation. My first time attracted me to the Ovaltine and it's nostalgic exterior. It was a beacon of hope, a promise of an honest 50s diner instead…More »
27. Kings Cafe - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V5L 1V4
(604) 253-6168
Category:
Diners
Neighbourhood: Grandview-Woodlands
Another shabby diner with QMFM in the background and a menu way too large and encompassing for their kitchen. They cant seem to get a single item, other than the coffee, right. The service takes a while and every time I resign myself to eating here…More »
28. El Furniture Warehouse - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L3
(604) 677-8080
The (now) Famous Furniture Warehouse is loud, crude, and full of character. The food is cheap, cooked, and served with haste, although the portions vary. The beer is pricey, except by Granville street standards, and watered down.
Now that I've…More »
29. Second Slice Pizza
After ordering a first, second and regretfully a third slice later, I firmly believe that the pizza here is nothing close to great. Minimal toppings on a flat crust served really soggy came for about $5 with a drink. Discount? Yes. Good? No.
Yet all…More »
30. Sui Sha Ya Japanese Restaurant
For some reason, years ago my friends and I used to go the all you can eat sushi buffet after class. We'd get our own booth and fork up the pretty reasonable $12 to get stuffed with seaweed and mediocre california rolls, soggy tempura and bowls of…More »
31. IKEA
Ikea furniture is some of the least durable furniture I've ever had the misfortune of having. When I was still a teenager my mother was an ikea fanatic. She gave me all sorts of pieces that are now in the dump. Why? They all broke the first time I…More »
32. New Brandiz Fast Food
Vancouver, BC V6A
(604) 687-3241
Category:
Convenience Stores
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
Let me try this one again... this place is awful! Once you get over the novelty factor of having a plethora of strange and eclectic foods offered for under $10 at 3AM, you realize that this stuff is hardly better than gas station food. Everything not…More »
