Food Scene

Places that I have personally enjoyed!
Good chicken and waffles for brunch. It also has dinner offerings. One of the few places where you can reserve a breakfast/brunch table in downtown Vancouver.

I have tried another branch on Cambie Street. Good value/quality for price - great meat and sandwich (roasted pork, other other offerings). Consistent quality. Good for quick bite but also comfortable for a bit longer, in small group or if you're on your own!

Great Sunday carvery with roast beef and turkey, yorkshire pudding mashed potatoes, peas and carrots. It costs $15 per person and available on Sundays 3-9pm. (Though has been known to sell out by 7pm). Friendly Irish pub, family friendly. Nice, down-to-earth atmosphere though note it's not the place if you're looking for peace and quiet.
