Sink your teeth into their classic pulled pork pancakes $15, where you get three buttermilk pancakes layered with pulled pork and topped off with syrup."

"Brunch at The Red Wagon was made famous by their pulled pork pancakes with Jack Daniels maple syrup. With this, they combined two comfort foods into a savory and sweet brunch option with just a bite of whiskey. Situated in an unassuming, casual diner setting, The Red Wagon is a fantastic option for a laid-back brunch experience."

"Known for their pulled pork pancakes, The Red Wagon Cafe is an East Vancouver favorite. Some brunch places around the city stop service around 3 pm, but these guys are open until 9 pm on the weekend. This bodes well for those who may have had a late night and need a late start to the day."

"A post shared by Hanna McLean (@hannamclean_) on Oct 23, 2016 at 2:19pm PDT. Considered a staple for vegetarian and vegan eats in Vancouver for, well, what seems like forever, eating at Kitsilano’s The Naam is pretty much a rite of passage. Their calling card dish is their Sesame Fries with an add-on of Miso Gravy, but you’ll also find an array of noodles, bowls, veggie burgers, Mexican-inspired fare, salads, appetizers, and much more here."

"Can you really do a post on the best vegetarian restaurants Vancouver without including The Naam?!. Open in 1968, this place was a pioneer for vegetarian food in Vancouver. It’s open 24 hours a day (It’s only closed once a year on Christmas!!)."

"The sesame fries are nothing too special, but the real icon here is the pairing of it with the miso gravy. The miso gravy is so addicting The Naam has even started selling bottles of it for retail at supermarkets."

"Find it: 555 Beatty St. and 2153 West 4th Ave., jamcafes.com, @jamcafeyvr. The lowdown: Comfort food is the specialty of the house at southern-inspired Jam Cafe, an all-day breakfast joint that originated in Victoria, B.C. Its Vancouver counterparts—one downtown, and one in Kitsilano—draw some of the longest lineups in the city, but that doesn’t dissuade regulars from coming back for more. Must-order: The eggs benny selection: Go for a fried pork belly benny, served with bacon jam and house-made BBQ sauce, or the buffalo blue fried chicken version, which is buttermilk-fried and blue-cheese-covered."

"A post shared by Jam Cafe Vancouver (@jamcafeyvr) on Jan 26, 2019 at 4:06pm PST. Vancouverites are obsessed with Jam Cafe’s all-day breakfast menu and are willing to wait upwards of 40 minutes in line to get their fill. Jam Cafe’s menu is arguably all epic, but if we had to narrow it down to a single ultimate dish, we would say the Fried Chicken French Toast is deserving of the title."

"An all-day lunch and breakfast coffee house that also has several locations around the city. Refresh with their veggie bowl if you want something green and nurturing. Get banana and walnut pancakes if you wish something sweet."

"If you want to feel like you’ve been transported to another continent and into an authentic European Bakery, then step through the doors of Thierry. This beautiful establishment is pure class and a haven for anyone with a sweet-tooth, and a pleasure for those with an eye for detail. Renowned maitre artisan Chocolatier and Patissier offers a wide selection of breads and baked goods that will leave you with a lasting impression, so take the plunge and treat yourself to a super-sweet experience."

"Thierry is best known for their fine French pastries, but expert baristas and an organic, fair trade espresso blend, designed by Casa del Caffe’s Vincent Gentile, ensure consistently good coffee, too. Their beans are dry roasted to ensure freshness and a unique taste profile that’s strong and smooth with hints of chocolate, cinnamon and spice. Late night coffee drinkers will appreciate Thierry’s close time of 12am, and spiked drinks are available, too."

"For the lover of traditional black forest, treat them to the Foret Noir (Romeo) and for that special someone who adores white chocolate and vanilla bean, the Foret Blanc (Juliet) is a perfect pairing. Romeo and Juliet cakes will be available only on February 14th, starting at 9 am, and are not available for pre-order. #VeryThierry 📷: @leilalikes"

"Another gem in Vancouver’s crown of great eateries is Cafe Gloucester. Offering a delightful menu of Hong Kong-style dishes, as well as amazing comfort food options, this is a popular spot for those who love variety and a good solid meal. Try their Pan Fried Minced Pork and String Beans, the Stir Fried Seafood and Vegetables, the Szechuan Style Hot and Spicy Chicken, or a heaping plate of Chicken Chow Mein."

"A post shared by Glory Juice Co. (@gloryjuiceco) on Nov 22, 2018 at 9:46am PST.

"By day, UVA is an authentic European-inspired caffé bar offering traditional Italian flavours with a modern flair. By night, UVA is downtown Vancouver’s enclave for connoisseurs of wines, seeking a sanctuary that awakens the palate. From the finest charcuterie to artisan cheeses, wine flights to hard-to-find wine, indulge at this award-winning bar."

"A post shared by Felix Zhou (@felixzhouyi) on Jun 22, 2020 at 7:06am PDT. Focusing on daytime fare, Bread x Butter's menu includes breakfast and lunch options. Kick-start your day with a breakfast sandwich, bagel with house-cured salmon, or avocado toast."

"The perfect gourmet sandwich always begins with freshly baked artisanal bread and the highest quality butter. In addition to sourcing the freshest ingredients available from our local farms, Bread & Butter work to create and deliver on quality."

"Pizza Garden is pretty dang good for being more of a chain brand of pizza. That being said, they have tons of locations and a large menu. So you can get your favorite pizza pretty much anywhere in metro Vancouver and you gotta love that."

"While the views from this spot aren’t spectacular, its proximity to Third Beach makes it a no brainer for anyone who wants to spend some time in Stanley Park. Grab a relaxed lunch and stroll around the beach a bit, or spend the day at the beach and head over after, either work. Hours: Monday to Friday, 11:30AM-10PM and Saturday/Sunday, 10:30AM-10PMWhere: 7501 Stanley Park"

"If you happen to be hungry and in Stanley Park, we recommend making a pit stop at The Teahouse Restaurant for a meal or a drink in its charming conservatory. Address: 7501 Stanley Park Drive, VancouverPhone: 604-669-3281. Facebook | Instagram"

"Cactus Club is a chain restaurant with locations in British Columbia and Alberta. Even though they have so many locations, diners can appreciate that the food is consistent across the board. This Coal Harbour location is noteworthy because of the views and the huge patio."

"For the few days we spent in the Vancouver area, we ate at the Cactus Club three times. We loved their food!"

"Novo Pizzeria focuses on rustic Italian food, with it's star dish being their Neapolitan style pizza. These pizzas are cooked at a high temperature of 900 degrees in their wood burning oven; the thin crust cooks to perfection, while maintaining the integrity of the delicious toppings. If you're not in the mood for pizza, there are many other comforting items to order."

"This hidden Kitsilano gem has some amazing wood-fired pizza. And now you can enjoy it at home!. Plus you can order a bottle of wine or two to enjoy alongside your tasty pie."

"The Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia is a must-see for anyone who wants to learn more about native peoples of the world, including British Columbia’s Northcoast Indians who are known as First Nations. Founded in 1949, the museum houses 38,000 ethnological items and more than 500,000 archaeological objects. Wonderful examples of huge totem poles, used by Northcoast natives to tell stories, can be found here as well as implements used by all indigenous peoples in their daily lives."

"The Museum of Anthropology is home to the world’s largest collection of works by acclaimed Haida artist Bill Reid, including his famous cedar sculpture, The Raven and the First Men. The museum allows you to explore traditional and contemporary art from Northwest Coast First Nations and other cultures across the world, including magnificent carvings, weavings and contemporary art. Explore the Museum’s Multiversity Galleries where more than 10,000 objects from across the globe are on show."

"But with courses going online and very few students staying in residence, there’s never been a quieter time to stroll the grounds of this world-class university. Parking is even easier with the main competition reduced to sun worshippers heading to Wreck Beach. There are more squirrels than students traversing the grassy areas off the principal pedestrian arteries, East Mall, Main Mall and West Mall so it’s safe to wander without feeling too old."

"Located in False Creek, this is a great area to explore on foot, with plenty of benches, cute cafes and restaurants, and green spaces to keep you occupied for at least an hour or two. Aquabus to Granville Island"

"If you're walking to the island, catch a colourful mini-tugboat over False Creek Go straight to the Public Market to meet some locals and discover First Nations art"

"Located just south of Vancouver, Iona Beach Regional Park is the home of one of the most romantic walks in Vancouver. Iona Jetty is a 4-kilometre long jetty that juts out into the Straight of Georgia, right into the Pacific Ocean. The walk is flat and you can often see wildlife and interesting sea creatures."
