IHOP on Kingsway

IHOP is like Denny’s melancholy older brother. Both serve up the same greasy breakfast fare, but IHOP feels just a little bit more depressing somehow. I suppose it’s due to the lack of claw toy machines in the lobby.
Located at 5137 Kingsway, just East of Metrotown, IHOP #0311 in Burnaby is much like any of […]

Breakfast at Joe’s Grill in Kits

We used to end up at Joe’s Grill on 4th out of desperation. The lineup at Sophies was halfway down the block and the servers at Hell’s Kitchen were too surly or stoned to know that it was opening time. Sheer laziness often prevented us from venturing much further and we’d wander on into Joe’s.
The […]

Sophie’s Cosmic Cafe

Sophie’s Cosmic Cafe in Kits is one of those places that you can’t help but keep going back to. I don’t live in Kits, and I’m so not a bridge and tunnel girl, but I make the commute from Yaletown routinely in order to taste the sublime diet busting grease. Go Sophies!
Sophies, which is located […]

Melriches on Mainland

Anything with the word ‘Yaletown’ in it sort of automatically cancels out the possibility of it being […]

Diner Yaletown (Now Closed)

One of the most disappointing things about living in Yaletown is the lack of great casual places to grab a bite. Sure there are a select few, but I need selection damnit! While there’s no shortage of ‘fabulous’ hot-spots where you can fill stomach and empty your wallet, most of them feel somewhat the same, […]

Denny’s On Burrard

The best and the most happening Denny’s in all of Vancouver is the one located at the corner of Burrard and Smithe. You can’t miss it — it’s right across from the Scotiabank Theatre. On most morning’s Denny’s is packed — but the service is fast and you’ll get a table and your food […]
