Best Diners in Granville Island

"The menu has meat, vegetarian and vegan options, so it’s a great spot if you’re with a group or nursing a hangover with friends. For brunch, I love the green curry hash, polenta omelets and if I’m feelin’ dirty, the vegan breakfast poutine. It opens at 9:00am, so get there early as it can fill up quickly on weekends."

"The Wallflower is a place for all types of eaters: vegans, celiacs and omnivores. This casual, hipster joint offers breakfast every day until 4PM and is often lined up on weekends. Try the polenta omelette with your choice of fillings -- it gets my vote for best vegan brunch plate in town."

"A post shared by Kevin Garcia (@ebunkebun) on Dec 18, 2017 at 10:32pm PST. There’s never a bad time for breakfast food, and thankfully when the craving strikes, Lucy’s is open 24-hours a day. Amongst other classic diner style foods, you can get their All Day & Night Breakfast special for less than $10 – though you’ll definitely be tempted by the rest of the goodies on their menu."

"Open 24 hours, Lucy’s is better as a novelty meal than as a destination breakfast. If you want the best experience, go one night after some heavy drinking and treat yourself to one of the signature milkshakes and their fried egg sandwich. Hours: Open 24/7Where: 2708 Main Street"

"A post shared by Isabella | Vancouver (@roostervelt) on Feb 11, 2016 at 7:53pm PST. A 24-hour eatery with retro décor that whips up some delicious eats. They have an all day and all night breakfast special for those who like to eat breakfast food all the time."

This old-style diner serves up classic breakfasts just like your mom used to make, as well as some boozy shakes just like your “fun” aunt used to sneak you."

"If you find yourself deep in the south, or you’re making a trip to Ikea in Richmond, then this is the spot for you. Nestled inside Northern Building Supply, the Northern Cafe is the most authentic diner on this list. Grab some lumber or hardware, then treat yourself to a burger or some chicken strips before you start your home improvement project."

"A post shared by Jill (@jillonjill) on Jul 26, 2017 at 12:11pm PDT. This hole-in-the-wall diner is definitely one to keep on your radar. It’s literally above a hardware store."

"Big burgers with an even bigger taste, the Sunshine Diner resides in the heart of Kitsilano and is famous for its big burger platters. Come hungry, leave with leftovers for lunch tomorrow – that’s how big the portions are. Address: 2649 W Broadway, VancouverPhone: 604-733-7717"

"Located in Kitsilano, Sunshine Diner is the place to go for cheap breakfast food. Check out their blueberry pancakes and egg breakfast combos if you go, and say hi to the Elvis and Marilyn Monroe statues greeting you at the door."

"With two locations in Vancouver, Deacon’s Corner started in Gastown in 2009 and hasn’t looked back since. The food is a little more classy here, but the menu items are just as blue collar as anywhere else. Case in point is the Big Mountie, which uses three slices of brioche, pulled pork, swiss cheese and fried chicken."

"A post shared by Caroline (@c4roline.eats) on Jan 31, 2017 at 4:52pm PST. A classic diner serving up some great grub to curb those hunger pangs. They have two locations, one in Gastown and one in Kits."

"Everyone knows Beta5’s cream puffs and award-winning chocolate creations, but its seasonal ice cream sandwiches are back, and word on the street is they come in packs of four for sharing (with small groups) or storing in the freezer. Rotating flavours have included mango milk tea, spumoni, and strawberry matcha—the latest lineup is mint chip with a dark chocolate cookie, and key lime with a graham cookie."

"#bucketlist#mountpleasant #recommended #popular #awardwinning. From award-winning chocolate, to artistic cream puffs!. The folks at Beta 5 Chocolates in Vancouver craft such masterful fare, their bakery is a hot favorite for people who love desserts, and even the ones who don’t."

"Beta5 makes fantastic chocolates and confections, but their gorgeous cream puffs are what keep people flocking to their shop year ’round. Address: 413 Industrial Avenue, VancouverInstagram: @beta5chocolates"

"Purebread’s Chocolate Chip Cookie (Jess Fleming / Vancity Buzz). Having earned themselves quite the reputation for housing a staggering array of baked goods, it should come as no surprise that Purebread offers an incredibly decadent and delicious chocolate chip cookie ($3). Handcrafted on-site, this sizeable treat rocks timeless flavours and is topped with a dash of sea salt."

"This cute little bakery has expanded in recent years and is a firm favourite among Vancouverites for its sweet treats. How ’bout a slice of raspberry riot topped with hot pink raspberry lemon drizzle or a chocolate-packed outrageous brownie?. Purebread uses real, quality ingredients that help to make their goodies delicious."

"Purebread is a must for great baking in Vancouver and they just opened yet another location!. Fresh off the heels of their new Mount Pleasant location, Purebread is a welcome addition in Kitsilano at 2887 West Broadway, serving up pastries, breads, squares, bars, cookies and more."

"2233 Granville Street Vancouver, BC V6H 3G1 778-737-9888WEBSITE | MAP. We have the largest private collection of original fine art by Contemporary Artists and Old Masters in Canada,"

"Every café sells baked treats, but Their There in the beachside neighborhood of Kitsilano takes its carbs as seriously as its caffeine. After all, the nuanced notes of a single-origin Kenyan coffee deserve the equally sophisticated sweetness of Thai tea cronuts with lemongrass glaze and candied Thai basil. Their There sources beans from roasters like Vancouver’s Luna, while baking kouign-amanns, croissants and donuts in house."

"We’ve been so hyped up about Their There that we recently wrote an article just to talk about the specialty flavours. Turns out, if you want our attention, all you have to do is put ‘Froot Loops’, ‘Mochi’ and ‘Donuts’ together and actually bring the flavour to back it up. Word to the wise- this sounds relatively easy, but boy howdy do we know a lot of TLC goes into each donut here."

"Their There is brought to us by the same folks behind ultra-cool eatery AnnaLena. Aside from having a killer atmosphere in the heart of Kits, the new spot offers a delicious selection of breakfast sandwiches, lunchtime eats, and baked goods along with amazing coffee. Address: 2042 West 4th Avenue, VancouverPhone: 778-379-4052"

"Vancouver has got so many tremendous pizza places that it’s entered a positive feedback loop. That’s right, you’ll be thankful you try the wood-fired deliciousness at this new spot in East Van, not overwhelmed by its appearance on the scene. Swing by for pizza and a glass of wine, or grab takeout for a night in."
