We arrived early yet the place was already full, vibrant energy throughout the cafe. The decor had lots of funky and antique items, which added to the relaxing theme. After waiting for about twenty minutes, it was our turn to sit down and eat good food! Our waitress was a friendly lady who welcomed us and brought water. After browsing the items on the menu, my friend chose The Tater Bowl and I picked Mushroom N' Ricotta Benedict. Finally, when our orders arrived, we were ready to eat! The portion was so generous and everything was cooked just right. We were so full at the end, so we didn't get a chance to try other items. Friendly service, delicious food and warm vibe- you can't go wrong here! A must-try if you are visiting Vancouver!

Establishment was bright by the windows a little darker inside but very cool vibe with the decorations. Lots of bar seating. Our server was very nice and able to answer any questions we had about the menu. Wifey ordered the mighty Monte cristo benny. I ordered the Charlie bowl. The bowl was very hearty hott mess in a good way. Very filling, tasty with all the good bits of bacon, ham, sausage gravy all throughout. I had to take half home as it was a bit much for me. Wifeys Benny was decent, the hollandaise was more mayoee than regular hollandaise and there was a sweet drizzle on the eggs I personally was not a fan but I can see it's appeal to others. Serving size are very decent. Overall this location is good and we will visit again. Lovely servers, good food and atmosphere!

This was a very disappointing visit. My daughter and her cousin both ordered the Montreal Poutine…read more It wasn't good. The gravy was bitter from what I heard. Something about it upset my daughter's stomach for the rest of the day. I ordered a Caesar Salad and a side order of tater tots. The tater tots were decent but the Caesar Salad...worst Caesar Salad I have ever had. It was drenched in way too much salad dressing which made it kinda soggy. About 2/3 of the way through eating it, I started to feel kinda sick. Then I looked down to my plate and realized that some of the greens used in my salad were not fresh. They were the opposite of fresh. They were dark green and slimy looking. Uggghhhh. I brought it to our server's attention and he made sure to remove the Caesar Salad from our bill. My mother's waffles were the only decent dish at the table. With 3/4 of us not enjoying our food, and 2/4 of us feeling sick from the food...I don't see us coming back to this restaurant again.

So we came back and my daughter ordered the Babka French Toast again. She didn't ask me to share it…read morewith her but simply made sure to stop eating after she had finished about half the dish. Much appreciated as this allowed me to order something different. I had The Classic which came with Eggs, mushroom & broccolini, potato rosti, baked beans, roasted tomato and housemade sourdough. We also ordered a Nutelle Hot Chocolate and Matcha Oat Latte. I loved The Classic. While I do enjoy trying new things all the time, I think I'm a Classic girl at heart. I often fight the urge to order the tried and true for the sake of trying new things, but I'm ever so happy on those occasions where I give in and order something more Classic. Baked beans and toast remind me of family trips to England. Havn't gone for one of those in years, but I do have some good memories of them. When they're on sale here, we sometimes like to buy cans of Heinz British style baked beans, and I sometimes make my own homemade version of baked beans to store in our freezer. I don't often see baked beans on brunch menus so this was a bit of a special occasion for me to be able to order something with baked beans for brunch. Personally, I would have preferred the beans to have been just a little bit softer. Nothing wrong with them. They were fully cooked but perhaps just a little bit firmer than I'd have liked. I prefer my beans very soft and I tend to be like that with a lot of foods in general. My hubby prefers his foods firmer, and I like my foods softer. It's a personal preference. Otherwise, I very much enjoyed this dish and am very likely to order it again sometime! Oh, the potato rosti in my dish was awesome as well. This meal was so filling though that I only ate one small corner of the potato rosti and then took the rest home to eat as I was very full already from everything else I had eaten from the plate.

We were pleasantly surprised with the brunch menu because from the ingredient list, we could see that there was effort in making the dishes more unique. As soon as I entered the bistro, the desserts caught my eye. Again, they all had a twist in either the design and/or the ingredients. All this creativity takes time and attention to detail, and we truly appreciate that. Four of us ordered the Mushroom toast, Cauliflower Benny, and Salmon Benny together with Lattes, "Hazelnut" cake and Duo Chocolate Chunk cookie. Every dish was delicious, served to perfection and came with generous portions. The dressing on the salad was to die for! The overall service was spot on. We cannot wait to return and try the rest of the menu! Although we would sit inside instead, as the patio seating is a little noisy due to the passing traffic.

We must like it, we even bought their cookbook to try some of the recipes, especially the Fondumental, which dragged us back there again and again. It wasn't nearly as plentiful or as yummy as we remembered it, but it's still good. The sandwiches and soups have always been rib sticking and tasty. The ambiance has remained the same over the years, a little dark, but the fireplace and the vintage posters are cool. Our server Gary was excellent, Johnny on the spot with all that we were looking for. Their wine and beer is all local, which is a thing these days. My lobster bisque with the FAB salad hit the spot, and the bread piece was exceptional. The lovely K had the onion soup which she liked although said it could use a little more salt.

Make sure you try the lobster bisque as it's one of the meatiest I've had to date; full of that shellfish flavour. The French onion soup is an eye catcher but the broth could use a bit more richness and flavour. Beef bourignon was suggested and I'm glad I took the friendly waitress' recommendation as it was a warm hug on a deep plate. I'd opt to swap for roasted potatoes instead of the mash but the mash does soak up all that delicious stew. The jambalaya is full of different proteins and if you're a fan of that, then I'd make sure to eat this perfectly cooked rice dish. I finished off with a banana bread pudding which was exactly that, banana bread in that bread pudding form; Personally I was hoping for bread pudding that was banana flavoured but it was still ooey gooey goodness. Burgoo should be packed to the brim with this menu for these prices and the friendliness of the staff!

My…read morefriend and I decided to take a drive and I remembered Blvd Bistro was on my list of places to try for a while now. Traffic wasn't too bad, so we arrived in good time. We parked on a side street not too far away and noticed how friendly people were as we walked to the restaurant. Everyone said hello and smiled as we passed through. You certainly don't get that same experience in many other areas of the Lower Mainland. Because it was spur of the moment, we didn't have a reservation. We put our name down with the host and waited about 10-15 minutes for a table. The restaurant was a little noisy but not overwhelmingly so. We both had coffee, which was really good. I should've asked what kind of coffee they serve because it's not very often the regular drip coffee is this good. I was having a hard time deciding between the Blvd Blackstone Benny with maple bacon and the Smokey Brisket Benny. I ended up choosing the latter with a side of avocado and my friend had the Huevos Rancheros - he added a side of fried potatoes when he saw how good they looked on my plate. I took one bite of the brisket and I was instantly so glad I chose it. The meat was so tender and flavourful and I didn't even need my knife to cut it. It was phenomenal. My eggs were overcooked but immediately replaced with new eggs when I mentioned it to the server. The replacements were soft with perfectly runny yolks. She also brought extra hollandaise sauce. My friend's meal looked amazing, in fact I now have to come back just so I can have this dish. I wasn't able to finish my meal so I boxed it up to finish later. I will definitely come back here to try more of the menu items, especially when the coffee is this good. Makes me wish I lived closer!

The food and drinks arrived to our table at a good amount of time although, it took a little bit for the server to come take our order or to re-fill our waters. Maybe it was because we were in the patio area but the server was very nice. The food itself was really good. I got the breakfast sandwich. The brioche bun was soft yet crispy and the flavours were nice. My friends got eggs benny. They said it was good although the egg was not runny, rather a soft jammy egg yolk. If you like a runny yolk, be sure to let the waiter know. On the table they have a hot sauce, and that was delicious. It was sweet and tangy and had a good amount of spice. Overall, it was good and I would come back again

I just personally don't love a lot of goat cheese and their was quite a lot in it, but I thought the portion sizes were great and the tomato soup was also quite delicious. The other things on the menu look very good to me so I think I just ordered the wrong thing for myself, but I'll defintetly have to try out their brunch options and burgers! Overall, very cute diner and definitely recomend for a family friendly experience.

We also used up a few coupons that we had for free tacos and ordered Ancho Chicken Taco, Grilled Basa Fish Taco, and Garden Veggie Taco. Forgot to tell the server "no cilantro" so ummm...food wasn't quite as good as usual but I'm not deducting points for that cuz that was our own mistake for forgetting to say "no cilantro." (Big sigh) It's such a pain though to have to keep on remembering to say that everywhere we go. Why don't restaurants realize that not everyone likes cilantro and make it a policy to bring it up with customers? Why don't they remind the customers that there's cilantro in a dish and then ask if the customer is OK with it? Anyone reading this right now is probably thinking I should just get over it and deal with it. I'm really just venting I suppose. The cilantro problem is just hugely annoying for both my daughter and I.
