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.

Wifey ordered French toast. I also ordered perogies. Fairly standard breakfast fare. Nothing fancy. The waffles imo could be better.. they were kinda dry inside bit fluffy. Def crispy on outside but with the missing fluffiness inside it kinda detracted from the enjoyment of having waffles. Rest of the breakfast food was as said standard and decent. The one thing that did stand out was the home made perogies.. they were very delicious. Over all, decent place to get your breaky but i don't think I'd go out of my way again to visit.

Tommy's Café 1308…read moreRoss Road, North Vancouver, BC A friend recommended Tommy's Café, and I finally had the opportunity to stop by while I was in the area. The café has a welcoming, neighborhood feel and offers a selection of hearty breakfast dishes with both classic and fusion-style options. Tommy Hash Bowl Corned beef, roasted red peppers, and onions, topped with poached eggs and hollandaise. The dish is hearty and well-portioned. The corned beef adds a savory depth, while the roasted peppers bring a light sweetness. However, the overall flavor could benefit from a touch more seasoning to fully elevate the components--thankfully, having salt and pepper readily available on the table allows diners to adjust to their preference. The hollandaise, while smooth, leans slightly mild and could offer more richness to tie everything together. 7/10 Seoul Bowl Kimchee, scrambled eggs, spinach, mushrooms, scallions, sesame seeds, and gochujang sauce. This bowl stands out for its balance of flavor and texture. The kimchee provides a welcome acidity and gentle heat, complementing the umami of the sautéed vegetables. The gochujang brings a subtle depth rather than overpowering spice, allowing the ingredients to harmonize. A thoughtful and enjoyable fusion dish that feels both comforting and vibrant. 8/10 Espresso Milkshake A playful combination of espresso and ice cream, offering both sweetness and a pleasant espresso bitterness. Refreshing, creamy, and surprisingly well-balanced. 8/10 Ambiance The café is small and inviting, with a warm and friendly neighborhood feel. Clean tables, casual décor, and a steady morning buzz contribute to an approachable and comfortable dining experience. 7/10 Service Despite a busy breakfast rush, the staff remained attentive, welcoming, and efficient. There is a genuine friendliness in the service that enhances the overall visit. 8/10 Price Reasonably priced, especially considering the North Vancouver location and generous portions. Final Verdict Tommy's Café offers a comforting, approachable brunch experience with a few standout items and a relaxed local charm. While not every dish reaches exceptional heights, the balance of flavor, friendly service, and inviting atmosphere make it a place worth returning to. I would happily stop by again to explore more of the menu on my next visit to the area.

(They offered the bar immediately when we came in). Secondly, Ash was our server and she has a remarkable presence, very personable and her kindness shows through. I'd return just to see her. The food was also a hit, I had the Gold (rush?) Poutine with Berkshire Pork and truffle. This bowl was hefty and I'm kinda ashamed I ate every bite but it was so delicious. There was care and attention as they made this bowl because I was able to have topping on every bite. There were cheese curds on the bottom which had pull even at the end of the meal! The Brown butter hollandaise paired well with the truffle. And the pork was crispy and plentiful. The fries are so good and perfect vehicle for all the quality toppings. My spouse had the Gold standard waffle with bacon lardon and raved about the taste and texture of the waffle. Yep, we will be back!

We walked in around 12:30 - 12:45pm and succeeded in right away getting a table. What a blessing as…read morewe've gone to other places on the North Shore on a Saturday, with no reservation and have had to endure fairly long waits for a table. They updated their menu and now they have actually included the word cilantro in their description of the Avocado Toast. Wonder if it's because they read my previous review. Glad to see this revised menu. My mom had Chicken and Waffles, my daughter had the Babka French Toast, and I had the Mushroom Toast. For drinks we had Hot Honey Lemon Water, Tiramisu Latte and Ferrero Rocher Latte. Loved the Mushroom Toast. The flavor of the Truffle oil really stood out to me in this dish. My daughter enjoyed the Babka Toast and ate the entire thing. I think she began to question her life choices later cuz it's a very large portion and she felt extremely full for the rest of the day. She enjoyed it enough though that she asksed if I would share it with her the next time we come here. Tiramisu Latte didn't actually taste very Tiramisu-ish. It had a Tiramisu look to it, but just tasted like a nice, sweet coffee drink. I took a sip of my daughter's Ferrero Rocher Latte. I think I enjoyed that one better. It had a chocolate, hazelnut layer set on the rim of the glass. This really did give it a sort of Ferrero Rocher taste.

It comes with this amazing fried I'm not sure what but it's great looking. Poached eggs too. - side of potatoes comes in a pan with aioli on top of each one. The aioli is fantastic. The potatoes crunchy and flavourful but not too fried at all. - ok the highlight for me is the KFC fusion Dutch baby. I've never heard of a dish like this before. The classic Dutch baby pancake with Korean ingredients - gochujang flavoured KFC, kimchi, veggies, an egg in the middle bibimbap style. The chicken is good although the sauce a bit uneven - some extra spicy hot spots. The ingredients come together really well and the Dutch baby is fantastic. I'll be coming back for sure!!!

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!

We have been frequenting this place since long before Covid, but have never reviewed for some…read morereason. 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. If you want to enjoy a hearty meal on the North Shore down by the water, but not on the water, give it a try, you will not be disappointed!

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.

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 ordered an individual size Baja Nomad Nachos. I also ordered a Virgin Witch's Rock drink. 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.
