Vancouver, BC V6C 2T4
(604) 692-4939
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Wine Bars
Neighbourhood: Downtown
As said by others, a 5-star restaurant and food experience totally! My first experience with YEW was at the Yelp Elite party and I just couldn't get over the magnitude at which they raised the bar of future Elite parties.
After that party, I finally…More »

I've been here on several occasions since I last reviewed Twisted Fork and I can say that I absolutely love it. I still always go for the brie and caramelized onion frittata because the flavours are vibrant. I did try the banana stuffed french…More »

Neighbourhood: Grandview-Woodlands
Amazing Mexican desayuno (brunch) on the weekends!! They're quite authentic Mexican flavours. I even peeked into the kitchen and verified that mostly Mexicans were working back there.
I had the barbacoa, which is 12-hour braised lamb with tortillas…More »

Neighbourhood: Grandview-Woodlands
Holy moly pulled-pork layered pancakes with Jack Daniel's maple syrup!! The pancakes are super fluffy and delicious. It's a little too rich for me to finish the whole thing, so I am glad I shared. The crispy pork belly was also delicious!
I would…More »

Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Downtown
This is what I call food-gasmic. I can still remember the taste, texture, sound, and smell of those waffles like it was yesterday!! Well it WAS 4 days ago. But I miss it so much. The waffles were best when hot and fresh off the waffle iron. So…More »

Cafes
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
Oh my! This little hidden gem is an unsuspecting restaurant for brunch (and dinner) tucked away in a little corner of the downtown eastside. As soon as I saw the entrance (which I almost missed because it's very inconspicuous), I knew I was in for a…More »
7. Sophie's Cosmic Café
I still don't get all the hate for this place. I hadn't been here for a while so I thought maybe there was some basis to it, but I recently have revisited Sophie's and still found it to be the quality greasy diner that I always knew and loved. I…More »
8. Ferris' Grill
This brunch was amazing! And filling. i got the Foux de Fa Fa. This was a brie-stuffed French toast with a walnuts and an apricot-vanilla bean compote. It was sooooo good. I was pretty satisfied with this. However, I also wanted some kind of warm…More »

The brunch here is delicious! It's the perfect place for a "catch up" session with friends, siblings, or cousins! The coffee is okay, but my crab meat Benny would have been perfect with a mimosa! The Benny itself was delicious. The meat was real!…More »

Mmm mmm mmm!! Liege waffles with white chocolate and lemon in the batter! Makes for a cleaner snack to eat and super tasty when you get them to re-heat it. I love this place--sure it's small, but it's perfect!

Brunch here is fantastic and creative!!! I had the Benny Special today with brie, fig jam, egg, and hollandaise. Potatoes were okay, but they're never my favorite. I also got a side of bacon to add some salty component to the meal. Good decision.…More »

I went to Crave for breakfast/brunch with a group of 4 friends (I don't think it's comfortable and large enough for a group of more than 6 though) and I was pretty impressed. Everything was contemporary and they were also very prompt with the…More »

I love this place and its sass! I went here last time in 2005, and nothing has changed other than the price (it's gone quite a bit up from what I remember). I came with my best friend who has a gluten allergy for an early weekend breakfast. They…More »

The Chocolate Banana Cream Pie is ORGASMIC!
I've had it 3x in my entire life now and every time it gives me the same reaction! I love it!
I actually also recently tried their raspberry chocolate cream pie and it, too, was very delicious. It was quite…More »

17. De Dutch Pannekoek House
The pancake was pretty different. I've never had real dutch pancakes before. I had a Dutch roommate once who made them by just watering down some Aunt Jemima mix. But these were much different from Aunty J. These pancakes had a saltier taste and in…More »

Cheap beer (even during the Olympics) and yummy crepes. What more can you ask for? Especially on the cheap beer end? I mean... it really is all about the cheap beer. The crepes are just a front. It's Granville Island beer too! Go for the beer,…More »

Came here for the England v. USA football match. It was 10am and I still had no food in my tummy.. or coffee. In fact, I was woken up and brought here to cheer on England.
So, I ask for a cup of coffee. No coffee. They don't serve it....? Hmm.. how…More »

Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
This is a small, no-frills kind of diner that reminds me of the diners of the olden days. And they are quite a bit cheaper than Sophie's. However, the quality isn't as great either. I got my basic Eggs Benny to test the waters: hollandaise sauce…More »
21. Berts Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5T 3G3

Categories:
Sandwiches,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
This is the place to go if you're missing the restaurant/diners of small town U.S.A. This is exactly what Bert's reminded me of. Very simple decor and dining area. Bar stools at the bar for lone diners. Simple desserts. An array of different foods.…More »

Category:

Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
The food here was pretty good, but the beer was cheap.
For drinks: We definitely took advantage of the $14 Cascade Lager. We also ended up getting the $18 pitcher of Pimms with gingerale and fresh fruit. My only complaint about that was that there…More »

Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Downtown Eastside
I came here for an early breakfast with some friends that were leaving town. It was good, but I can't say it was the best. Predominantly because they don't have a grill, so all the egg dishes are baked. That does make for an interesting version of…More »

I'm glad they opened up a Caffe Artigiano near me. The coffee is roasted to perfection and their vanilla latte's (my usual) are delcious! I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Caffe Artigiano since they were the first to put a night little…More »

This was truly the best breakfast spot in Anchorage while I was there. I loved it so much, our last breakfast of our internship HAD to be here. I fell in love with the jam so I brought it back with me. When it ran out, I was so sad, but I quickly…More »
26. BC Ferries
I love the ferries! Especially the modern, up to date ones. I like that there are shops on board that don't sell junk only! I bought my favorite pair of funky silver earrings from there. And the view outside is amazing.
On the other hand, the food…More »
27. Bagel Factory
These were the best Bagels I ever had in my entire life (although I've never had them in New York City or Montreal)! I loved the jalapeno and cheese bagels and I'm sure that's what contributed to my weight gain while I lived here. I love that it's…More »

Utter disappointment!! I went here for brunch for the first time and had a reasonable level of expectation since dinner here has always been pretty nice.

31. The Beet Root Cafe
I like the idea of this cafe. And the prices are pretty cheap for a sit down place in Whistler. However, it wasn't my favorite meal. I ordered the eggs benny which came with hashbrowns. Hashbrowns = 5 tiny tiny McD's style potato patties. And my…More »
