Best place in Vancouver for breakfast?

[thechix0r]

I don't know about places that have good coffee, but I do like going to the Pantry and to Knight and Day. Their breakfasts are usually awesome. Try and find some smaller places, they usually have the goods, but I don't know many in Vancouver and I can't remember the one that my mom use to take me to when I was little.

De Dutch and the Elbow Room have my fave Eggs benny. I am an Eggs Benny girl all the way.

As far as cheap breakfast.....the corner of Broadway and Burrard, a little hole in the wall. $2.99 till 11am.

It's all about Bon's...the true greasy spoon...an experience in itself "Need another shot, there, BUDDY?!". A couple times I've gone in there with a friend and it was so busy they sat us at a table of 4 with another couple of strangers...nothing like making new friends at breakfast. If you haven't been you must go at least once.

I'm also partial to ABC breakfast, big portions and on Sundays they have specials on things like margarita's and seabreezes so you can have cheap drinks with your bacon and eggs. :) I tend to have "breakfast" around noon on a Sunday after so its perfect.

if you can deal with the wait, bon's is fun on a saturday or sunday morning just to see all the sketched out, hungover partiers who haven't slept from the night before...

good place to go for buffet style brewakfast would be Stages Bistro and Lounge at the HOliday Inn on W. Broadway and cambie... maybe im bias because i used to work therebut hey cant deny good food...
they also have a menu you can choose from if you like
super yummy breakfast...

[quote=Ms.Tarantula]why is it that your 'friend' knows what cat food tastes like?


Its one of those things that you smell and by the smell you know what it tastes like, comon smell cat food and tell me if your going to eat a burger that dont smelll like it and resembles it you wont consider it cat food!

[lithe]

hasn't the sunshine diner just moved across the street? i thought that it was a relocation, not an ending...

also, aren't de dutch and the wooden shoe the same thing? i've never noticed a real difference in price between the two i go to - the wooden shoe and de dutch on oak/16th.

Downside is definitely the wait time you'll incur if you ever go there on a weekend.

Chain restaurants are definitely for tools, though I am a veteran of many a 3am slam. If you're actually planning on going out for breakfast, I can't see why you'd bother with that kinda poison.

For the money, nothing beats Bons. I usually get the Eggs Benedict.

For vegetarian, nothing beats Cafe du Soleil on the drive. I always get the special (mmm...tomato).

That guy's hilarious, no matter who he's working for. He gave everyone refills while speaking with a bad Irish accent last time I saw him.

their smoothies rock too. I recommend strawberry banana, heavy on the banana

I can't believe nobody said Seb's Place on Broadway one block west of Fraser. Also Sunshine Dinner moved one bloack east to Broadway and Trafalger on the north side of the street.

[g!ggles]

wow seriously no one mentioned Sophies's on West 4th. It's one hell of a line up but really worth the wait :)

Ironic that I mentioned that too *haha*

4 shure... BON's off BRODWAY

[brokencrayon]

Bon's on Broadway typical breakfast stuff and good service but a hell of a wait.

Hatch located on Broadway and Main (right across from Kingsgate mall) funky atmosphere awesome servers and great food. You can order vegitarian meals as well as different nifty breakfast meals if you feel like straying from the typical. the menu's are cool too becuase they have named different meals with cool names.

PS- I wouldn't suggest for anyone to go or continue going to Red Umbrella I have a friend who worked there and she told me some disturbing stories about that place.

I love their french toast.

Iggy Pop: Well.. yeah. I. . . drink the coffee at IHOP, yeah.

ohhhh man, that movie SUCKED!

I know Van was asked about, but since Slickety Jim's has already been mentioned I'll mention Floyd's Diner in Victoria. $10 will get you the most filling breakfast you've ever eaten, swear to god. I'm a big fan of the BC Hash, but the French Toast in general is glorious.

[LiveOnJim]

Where is this bons place located? i think i should check it out

[DiZz_E]

trust me, the best breakfast is sundays at rockwells on north road in coquitlam. its expensive ($22) but there is over 100 items. the best everyday place is big 6 on sixth street in burnaby... mmm grease.

[Bitchin]

Kraigs in Coq

Bons on nanaimo and braodway

[lala]

Bon's is Broadway & Naniamo, I think. Hatch is shut down now...

SLICKITY JIM'S IS THE BEST!
