"A post shared by With the Locals📍 (@withthelocals) on Apr 10, 2017 at 7:41am PDT. They’re cooking using the best of the season at Vancouver’s elegant The Acorn, so their menu is always evolving with the calendar. Their dishes are all vegetarian as a base, with most adaptable to suit vegan diners."

"Charred Brussels Sprouts, Spruce Tip Vinaigrette, Fermented Celery Leaf Goats Cheese, Spruced Cured Egg Yolk. Last night for this dish and last night of Dine Out!"

"The Cafe Medina has quickly risen to be one of Vancouver’s top brunch spots. Offering perhaps the best Belgian waffles in the city, as well as an array of delicious brunch cocktails, the cafe reflects the relaxation and soulfulness typical of the Mediterranean. Spacious and brightly lit, Medina insists on high-quality ingredients that relay the cafe’s philosophy – that food feeds the soul as much as it does the body."

"The best part is that there are a bunch of topping choices to choose from including classics like maple syrup to some more unique flavors like rosewater or milk chocolate lavender."

"Serving a range of breakfast and brunch foods, Yolks‘ food truck came into existence following massive demand from their anchor restaurant. Yolks allows customers to build their own breakfast sandwich, as well as options like organic oatmeal and granola and their fresh, homemade beignets and coffee options. Try one of their eggs benedict, featuring honey cured ham, spinach and mustard, all served on a toasted English muffin with hollandaise sauce for a savory brunch classic."

"These made-from-scratch flapjacks are baked with blueberries and topped with blueberry compote and real vanilla whipped cream. Definitely slap this dish on the top of your to-eat list. Address: 546 West Broadway, VancouverPhone: 604-559-9655"

"A post shared by Yolks Breakfast (@yolksbreakfast) on Apr 16, 2020 at 11:10am PDT. Great news, breakfast lovers!. Yolk's now has their Hastings location running to offer take-out and delivery, in addition to their West Broadway outpost."

"Our chef-driven concept is led with soul, where the emphasis lies on the people that produce, create, serve and consume our fresh, iconic cuisine."

"This brand-new tasting room from one of Vancouver’s favorite craft beers is finally back after a six-month hiatus, and the city’s beer nerds couldn’t be happier. Like pop stars reinventing themselves, Parallel 49 decided to go big or go home, crafting a tasting room with 40 beers on tap, including their hoppy, grapefruit-riddled Wobbly Pop and their Filthy Dirty IPA. Oh, and they literally brought a food truck inside the building, so you can snack on steamed pork baos and corn dogs while you imbibe."

"A post shared by 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters (@49th) on Feb 9, 2020 at 3:06pm PST. If you haven’t heard of 49th Parallel, then you’ve never been to Vancouver, because every coffee-drinking Vancouverite knows the friendly coffee giant that is 49th Parallel. With three locations around the city, you can be sure that anytime you stop by one of their shops you can get a standardly delicious cup of coffee, and also you can grab a Lucky’s doughnut, which is just heavenly."

"A post shared by 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters (@49th) on Feb 12, 2018 at 6:39am PST. Not only known for their coffee, but also for Lucky’s Doughnuts, this coffee shop has three locations across the city. With lots of seating and a lively atmosphere this is the perfect spot to pick up a sweet treat and get some work done."

"Sometimes Vancouver feels like that part of Jumanji where they all try and climb onto a chandelier to escape the monsoon. So when you do get the rare sunny morning, you’ll want to take advantage of it with brunch on a patio with a high UV index or somewhere with enough natural light that you’ll need to wear sunglasses inside. Hunnybee in Strathcona, with its floor-to-ceiling windows and sidewalk seating, is where you want to go."

"A post shared by Hunnybee Bruncheonette (@hunnybeebrunch) on Jun 10, 2019 at 11:32am PDT. A super cute, super quaint breakfast café that serves breakfast until 3:00pm from the edge of Vancouver’s increasingly hip Chinatown neighbourhood. Menu highlights include their lox and labneh toast and breakfast bun with fried egg, cheese, tomato, onion, jam, milk bun and mortadella."

"This spot has a menu full of delicious pizza and pasta among other things. And of course, they have an amazing patio that is perfect for outdoor dining. So if you live downtown or need a spot to check out after work, this might just be it."

"My favourite local cafe and the place you’ll most likely find us on a weekend if we’re out getting brunch. Red Umbrella Cafe in the West End, doesn’t have loads of vegetarian options, but you won’t feel like you’re missing out if you order the vegetarian breakfast. This comes with eggs, veggie sausage, your choice of bread, tomatoes and spinach making it one of my best breakfast in Vancouver suggestions for vegetarians."

"Imagine going for a Sunday stroll through the beautiful English Bay and a pancake craving hits. Don’t worry Red Umbrella will be there to save the day. This spot offers affordable and delicious pancakes."

"6345 Fraser Street, Vancouver Tel: 604-322-1001 Web: www.magdasrestaurant.ca Twitter: n/a Advice: No reservations. Some of my friends and I often get together on Sunday mornings for breakfast at various eateries around the city, each of us takes turns on suggesting…"

"Coco Exotique, Passion et Chocolat, Cassis et Matcha are three of the 24 cake types offered at Yaletown’s preeminent French patisserie, run by veteran pastry chef Peter Fong. Looking for something Fancy?. Ganache hand-makes custom, handcrafted bonbons, chocolate sculpture centerpieces and unique personalized cake decorations, like Louis Vuitton or Nike shoes (pictured), with quality ingredients like Cacao Barry Chocolate."

"Uniquely designed and handcrafted by a team of pastry chefs, the menu at Ganache is inspired by the seasons and changes regularly. The one consistent theme at Ganache is French technique with subtle Asian influences running throughout each of their incredible delicious pastries."

"Similar to my complaints about JJ Bean's croissant being too buttery, the almond croissant at Ganache was too sweet for me. The almond paste was extra moist and each bite felt more doughy than flaky. Almost no rise to speak of here, either, which is too many red flags for $5."

"Known for more than just their cheesecake, this popular pastry and cake shop is a dream for anyone with a sweet tooth. But their cheesecakes are, simply, to die for. A simple selection of four — New York, chocolate marble, mango and lemon — the recipe manages to be both sweet and savoury, with that kick of salty cheese shining through as it should."

"Seriously, we cannot be expected to pick just one–not when the selections include Hedgehog (hazelnut and chocolate with Frangelico), Chocolate Obsession (chocolate truffle), Carrot cake with roasted hazelnuts, or Roasted Coconut Chiffon…just to name a few. Address: 2611 West 16th Avenue, Vancouver. Instagram: @trafalgars_sweetobsession"

"Venturing out to the west side of Vancouver, this almond croissant was the cheapest non-Starbucks variant, but it came at a price. Rise was probably the best point of this croissant with just a few gaps in layering. Look closely though, and notice the lack of almond paste either on top or within the croissant."

"A post shared by MeeT in Gastown (@meetgastown) on Oct 16, 2017 at 9:46am PDT. Both locations of MeeT are all about delicious eats in a fun space…minus the meat. Their menu is vegan and mostly gluten free, but their clever dishes with big, bold flavours won’t leave you feeling like you’ve missed anything (i.e. meat) at all."

"When it comes to cravings, MeeT in Gastown brings out the best of both worlds-comfort classics and healthy bowls. With a few locations around the city, this vegan restaurant is a local favorite. If you're feeling healthy, The Lovely bowl is heaving with ingredients that satisfy and nourish."

"MeeT intends to show people that comfort food that connects us and nourishes us can be veggie, can be made from scratch, can be delicious and can be a affordable… MeeT is a place that welcomes everyone, and has seat for all people looking to"

"You’ll also be impressed with the rustic and charming setting at Sula Indian Restaurant (1128 Commercial Drive and 4172 Main Street) featuring antique furniture, pops of vibrant colour, and a Indian mural art. The menu at Sula is extensive but you’ll want to order fragrant seafood curries  as well as Mumbai street snacks. Sula also has a cocktail program with traditional Indian spices like tamarind, star anise, and amla."

"This traditional Indian restaurant has plenty of great takeout options for you to choose from. We go all-vegetarian when we visit Sula, preferring to sample the veggie dishes like Dal Makhani, Channa Masala, and Gobi Aloo. There are also plenty of vegan and gluten-free options should you have any dietary restrictions."

"Truly traditional Indian restaurant in Vancouver, serving exotic Indian food from different regions of south and North India prepared using aromatic spices ground in house combined with fresh herbs, served in a playful Indian inspired indoor garden"

"Subway was first opened in 1965 by Fred Deluca; he wanted to make money for his college fee, so he opened up a peter buck’s idea, and he invested 1000$, and their business started. They opened their first restaurant in Connecticut, and it has been expanding since then to the level that up to now, it has become one of the largest chain fast food restaurants which provide nutritious and healthy food and sandwiches, which have become families’ first choice. Although it has become a famous brand, the subway has kept its core values, providing great service with the highest quality and affordable prices."
