Best Diners in North Vancouver

"A post shared by Wallflower Diner (@wallflowervancouver) on Apr 16, 2020 at 3:27pm PDT. This vegetarian and vegan-friendly eatery is continuing to offer take-out and delivery, including an extensive breakfast menu, so you can still enjoy their Bennies, hashes, toasts, and more from your own home. Add on a Caesar kit, too!"

"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."

"So there’s one reason I will send you to the wallflower and if you do choose to go, you absolutely cannot go without trying the vegetarian poutine. For those newbies to Canada, poutine is a local delicacy from the Quebec region that has since made its mark all over Canada. So what is it exactly?"

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."

"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."

"The younger, and more casual, sibling of The Acorn is more than deserving of a visit in its own right. Everything on the menu can be made vegan, and they’ve got some delicious burgers on the menu that will go toe to toe with any other spot in the city.

"A little further east is Chinatown, the third largest in North America, and home to the tranquil, four-seasons Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden. Yaletown is also on the downtown peninsula and is a former warehouse district that has since been transformed into a chic residential area. Shopping is a big attraction, but so is the people watching – order a coffee and sit on the sea wall to watch the locals. The West End is a beachside neighbourhood at the foot of Stanley Park, and home to the city’s LGBT community – definitely worth a wander, or head down to English Bay Beach to take a paddle boarding lesson."

"If you want to explore some of the best places to see in Vancouver, then make sure to visit Dr Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden. This beautiful and almost otherworldly garden is the first of its kind outside of China, allowing the people of Vancouver a chance to more fully explore Chinese culture. Built between 1985-1986, the Chinese Garden takes its inspiration from scholars’ gardens of the Ming Dynasty, with both Chinese and Canadian workers helping to create the space."
