Bellagio Cafe

We always love come to the Bellagio Cafe when we are in Downtown Vancouver, our favourite cafe.

This was my first time in Bellagio Cafe and the main reason I went was to try out their hot chocolate because a friend of mine had recommended it to me. The cafe itself is pretty spacious and sit a large group size! They had brunch, dinner, and happy hour menu which looked pretty extensive! I will definitely be going back to check it out.

The cafe is also very centrally located in downtown Vancouver and is open later than most cafes in Vancouver.

Now lets talk about the hot chocolate, I WAS IN LOVE!! I went with a friend of mine who isn't the biggest fan of hot chocolate but he also was very impressed by their hot chocolate because it did not taste like chocolate in milk but was more decadent than that.

They had 3 options to choose from but we tried 2 of them -

1. Snow in Mountain: It had a roasted macadamia nuts flavour with subtle hint of coconuts. It is garnished with a coconut whipped cream (YUMM), and sprinkle of shaved coconut and toasted macadamia nuts.

2. Peter Rabbit's Wonderland: Made with cacao, brown sugar and chestnut. It is served with a caramel infused whipped cream and caramelized carrot ribbons on the top.

Both hot chocolates were served with mini beignets.

5/5 would recommend their hot chocolate during the fest!

We had a thoroughly delightful and delicious late morning weekday breakfast here. The menu has many interesting selections, and it was not easy to make a decision.

The restaurant itself is open, airy, and beautifully designed. It is eclectic with a variety of seating, both indoors and out.

Service is very friendly, and not only were we seated right away, but coffee arrived shortly thereafter.

I ordered the hash, and it was absolutely delicious. It had very tasty zucchini and lots of flavor, plus the poached eggs were perfectly made, better than I have seen in quite some time. I highly recommend this dish.

The other dish ordered was the Liege waffles. I tried some of the berries, and they were very fresh and sweet.

It's a casual setting, and I highly recommend it for a great breakfast experience.

Ambiance. Service. Outdoor seating. Indoor seating. Fresh pasta. My friend and I split the rigatoni bolognese, the arugula salad and and the pizza bread app with olive oil. So much food. So good. Prices were so reasonable! I'm sure it's a neighborhood favorite.

Incredible taste. It's my favorite breakfast in Vancouver. I recommend to everyone. Thank you.

I was intrigued by the menu and finally found time to dine here, not during happy hour like I thought but a late morning.

I came here for the hot chocolate festival drink. I had "Like a Warm Hug" which was only for dine in as it contained alcohol. It was so delicious! Could be the alcohol talking. The hot chocolate was infused with whiskey condensed milk and whipped cream. The whiskey was easy to drink and warmed up the belly. Perfect during winter. The cookie which came with it was average.

I decided to try the chicken and waffle. That was quite disappointing. The chicken was more like chicken tender or chicken strips, not fried chicken with nice crispy skin. It was Belgian waffle and was already quite sweet on its own, so the little container of maple syrup was quite unnecessary unless you really love sweet stuff. The only thing I liked was the salad as the tangy dressing and bitterness of the arugula cut through the sweetness of the dish. I recommend to skip this.

I just wish the whiskey hot chocolate is on the menu permanently. I'll come here just for that.

There are clearly labelled vegetarian choices sprinkled throughout the menu. I saw one item on all the menus (breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc.) is labelled plant based, bread and olive oil. So vegetarians can have a nice meal here, vegans...no.

We were there for breakfast, sitting outside enjoying a nice day with very good people watching. Two of us had omelettes with vegetarian filling, with one order of the vegetarian benedict. The omelettes were basic omelettes with breakfast potatoes...good, enjoyable, filling. The benny was much better, and if we returned for breakfast it would have been 3 orders of benedicts.

Service was very good at our late morning midweek breakfast.

We would not have a problem returning.

Their breakfast potatoes are immaculate. Service was friendly and attentive, and the chairs were comfortable. The overall vibe was warm and welcoming, and the food was pretty good. I preferred the Benedict over the frittata - the poached eggs were perfect and the sauce was buttery and creamy. Frittata was slightly overdone, but otherwise as expected. Good breakfast in DT Vancouver!

We arrived on a Wednesday afternoon as a party of 4 and were promptly seated. I had ordered the bruschetta, which arrived warm. For a bruschetta, I found the dish to be on the oily side. I personally prefer a crispy baguette instead of the flat bread. I think diced tomatoes would have been better.

I'm a regular for breakfast at this place because I love it! The liege waffles are my favorite, and they always have a creative new take on eggs Benedict. For example, they added fried chicken today. Yum. Cafe mocha is chocolatey goodness and the staff is great. Come early, you might see me...
