Favorite spot, generous portions, affordable, great staff, lots of parking, pleasant neighborhood, Old Town atmosphere

This was my first time dining at Dulin's, so I have only had one meal. The Reuben sandwich was one of the better Reubens I've ever had. The bread was toasted and buttery, and the corned beef was steaming hot and delicious. The Caesar salad was also very good. I did not leave hungry; the portion size was large. It was a very filling meal. The service was top-notch. It was a Saturday at 11 AM. It was not packed but decently crowded, and all of the servers seemed to be on their game. The ambiance reminds me of an old-school deli. It was very clean, and there was ample seating. My friend lives in Vancouver, so I will definitely be back to try more of the food offerings when I'm in the area visiting. read more

Dulin's Village Cafe - Reuben sandwich & Caesar salad - New American Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

We've been wanting to try this place for awhile now, but it always looks so busy on the weekends, so we waited until we had a day off during the week. We arrived around 11:30 on a Wednesday. It was still pretty busy, and only two booths were open. We were first on the wait list. We only waited about 5 minutes for the host to clear the tables and set them. Staff was friendly and welcoming. You can tell it's a popular place by how busy it was on a weekday. This restaurant occupies an older building in downtown Vancouver. There is street parking available. It's a small establishment, but they do a great job of utilizing every inch. They even have a nice waiting area by the door with two long wooden benches. There are both table and chair seating, as well as a few booths. Our server was friendly, helpful and attentive. We ordered the croissant club sandwich with fries and the triple play with half a reuben sandwich, Celtic Caesar salad and a cup of Irish stew. My hubby also asked for a side of bacon. The food came out rather quickly considering how busy they were. Everything we ordered we devoured. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. I added avocado to my club sandwich and it was so yummy! Prices are more than reasonable compared to other establishments. You get a generous portion as well. Overall we were happy with the service, food and prices. We'll definitely return to try their breakfast options. Everything looked so appealing as it came out of the kitchen. Would highly recommend! read more

Always good service and good food. The staff is excellent. Very attentive and inviting. I always feel welcome here. From the whole grain pancakes, to the chicken sausage, to oatmeal, to fresh fruit, Dulin's is a staple in downtown Vancouver. It's like visiting a cozy neighborhood eatery where all the patrons are regulars. You don't want to miss it., read more

Brunch dreams do come true! We rolled up for brunch and were met with a 45-minute wait (it was Labor Day to be Fair)--but with all the glowing reviews, we figured it had to be worth it. Spoiler alert: IT TOTALLY WAS. To kill time, we wandered over to the vintage mall across the street (10/10 recommend for distraction shopping and questionable fashion decisions). By the time we were done laughing at '80s vinyls and questionable biker jackets, our table was ready. Perfect timing! Now let's talk food. Holy portions, Batman. We ordered the El Paso and the Dublin, plus a side stack of pancakes--because brunch isn't brunch without a pancake cameo, right? Safe to say, it was more than enough for two people (but we have no regrets, only delicious memories). Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and those pancakes were straight-up cloud magic. I could honestly come back just for a short stack and call it a day. The mimosas were bubbly joy in a glass, the service was decent, and overall, it was a solid brunch win. I'd 100% come back--and next time, I'm making a reservation like a pro read more

I came to visit Vancouver and wanted to have something a bit different for breakfast and came across Yelp to this place. The ambiance is casual and the dining area is very spacious. They have pretty good selections on the menu and the Dublin's Irish dish for breakfast is just delicious. It's a pretty big portion and I'm glad I shared it with my husband. The kids pancake is so cute, they made an animal face for it and service is nice and attentive. Definitely come try them if you want something different for breakfast. read more

Three different staff members warmly greeted us and offered help while our table was being prepared--a great first impression. The space is bright and inviting, with natural light, plants, and large photos of village countrysides that perfectly reflect the café's name and theme. The menu blends Irish and American classics. We shared the Dulin's potato dish--corned beef, sautéed onions and bell peppers, cheese, horseradish, egg, and avocado. The French toast was another standout. We are looking forward to coming back to try the lunch menu! read more

Dulin's Café has become one of my absolute favorite breakfast spots , every visit is somehow better than the last. I order the Huevos Rancheros every single time, and it never disappoints. The flavors are fresh, perfectly balanced, and honestly? It might be the best version I've ever had anywhere. Their iced chai latte is another must-have, smooth, perfectly spiced, and not overly sweet. And if you're going for a brunch vibe, their mimosa flight is so fun and delicious. My boyfriend tries something new every time, and he swears their omelettes are top-tier across the board. Beyond the food, the service is amazing. The waitresses and waiters are always friendly, attentive, and genuinely seem to care about giving you a great experience. It's the kind of café where you feel welcomed the moment you sit down. If you're looking for a consistently excellent breakfast or brunch spot with great food, great drinks, and great people, Dulin's Café is it. Highly recommend! read more

Usually five out of five stars when I've dined at Dulin's the previous three times. I ordered the fruit cup previously before so I'm aware of its size and presentation. I don't know if they tried to dress it up to justified the $5.95 price which is more than fair in my opinion, but the way the fruit was shoved into the bowl was ridiculous. Half the mangis fell out when I tilted the small bowl to look at it. Then when I went to pull on of the 1/16" of an inch apple slices out, two more fell on the table. I'm not a germ-a-phob, but I should be able to pull my food out of the bowl without it falling onto a (hopefully clean) table. The worst part and I should have gave them one star for this, I immediately went to the counter and pair the manager? that delivered and when he asked if something was wrong, he rang me up. Fortunately I grabbed the bowl and was able to get a to go box for my "cup" of fruit. Here's a thought, give me a discount.‍ Big miss on customer service/satisfaction. Guess I'll wait a while before visiting again. read more

This is the second time we've enjoyed a yummy breakfast while in Vancouver! The service is great, everyone is warm and smiling. I enjoyed the veggie Benedict with avocado, spinach and tomato with a side of crispy potatoes. I especially love the local Silagy brand hot sauces; I stopped by the local market to pick up a few bottles ! :-) Tip- this is a busy spot, if you have to wait be sure to visit the antique shop across the street, lots of interesting finds. read more

Review update that's long overdue to up them to 5-Star status! This is an excellent breakfast & lunch spot. They have a nice variety on their menu, with some more unique offerings since it's an Irish-style family restaurant. My favorites are their Irish Bangers breakfast, and their Triple Play lunch special (currently $13.95 for 1/2 sandwich, with salad & cup of soup). The service is always friendly, and even when they're busy the food comes out relatively quick. And they have somehow managed to keep their prices fairly low, while keeping their quality & portions the same. Love this place! read more

Yummy food and very reasonable prices! Was seated quickly and staff was friendly. I ordered the Reuben sandwich and it was so good! Not greasy, just the right amount of sauce and the meat was cut nice and thin. Very yummy! Would definitely come back again and try other items. read more

Charming....charming is the word I would use to describe Dulin's Village Cafe in downtown Vancouver, like a warm hug on a rainy day. The first clue, that I had chosen wisely, was seeing people gather at the door, waiting for the restaurant to open. I ordered the short stack (2 pancakes) and a side of bacon which suited my sweet/salty cravings. The whole-grain pancakes were hot off the griddle, served with real butter, and syrup. They were tasty, but I am more of a buttermilk pancake gal. (if you want "real maple" syrup it costs extra....which, considering the jump in pricing at most restaurants, is a little annoying. But this is a minor quibble.) The two strips of thick bacon were perfectly grilled and had a nice, light, smokey flavor. Hub had the Huevos Rancheros...a layer of seasoned black beans, grilled tortilla, eggs (cooked any way you like), and topped with cheese and generous slices of avocado. It came with fresh salsa, a dollop of sour cream, and breakfast potatoes (which were delicious....and tasted freshly made, not frozen) We both had a rich cup of coffee served in a chunky mug. The service was friendly, attentive, and professional. The total for breakfast, for two, was about $33. It is getting harder to find non-chain restaurants that serve a traditional breakfast. So glad Dulin's is here. It is on my list whenever I am in downtown Vancouver. read more

I went to Dulin's for lunch yesterday. It was encouraging to see a line at 11:30 AM. That signaled to me that the food is worth waiting for, even on a busy weekday. I was right! I ordered the fish and chips. I really love fish and chips made with halibut and battered, not crumbed. These hit the spot! The server told us that it is hand dipped, not just pulled from a bag. It was deeply browned from frying, which made it extra tasty. There were 2 generous pieces along with fries. The fries were fine, I prefer them more crispy than these were, but that's just me. The only disappointment was no slaw. I missed the crunch and tang slaw adds to F and C. The price was also reasonable. Our server was very attentive and lovely. She was helpful and friendly and made our lunch more enjoyable. Dulin's has a nice, friendly vibe and is an asset to the neighborhood. I just wish they stayed open past 2! read more

Did a Yelp search for somewhere we could get either breakfast or lunch at 11:30ish and came across this little place. My lunch partner had the Claire (chicken and Brie) sandwich, which came with a choice of sides, and she went with the fresh fruit, as encouraged by our waiter when queried, and it seemed to be an excellent choice. She seemed delighted with both side and sandwich. I went with the Megan potatoes - and they were very flavorful. I chose vegetarian sausage with mine and was absolutely delighted. Really tasty, perfectly cooked (a bit crispy on the outside, fluffy and soft inside). I took at least half of the order home and warmed them up for dinner. I added a bit of sour cream from my fridge and this really put them over the top . I'll request them this way in the future. The coffee is exceptional. Very clean, warm and friendly place with pleasant staff. read more

Horrible experience! Do NOT come here if you have more than 2 people in your party!! They make you wait in the rain until every person is there. They aren't very nice about it either: trust me, you'll get better treatment AND food if you take your party to the bar up Main St! Save yourself the rudeness and pedestrian meal! read more

Went on Sunday around 10:30. Place was packed and had to wait about 15-20 minutes which wasn't bad at all. Seated by friendly staff. Once food was ordered the wait wasn't long at all. Husband had the traditional breakfast and I ordered the Megan with one scrambled egg. Coffee was excellent- nice and flavorful. The Megan was absolutely delicious . Hubby enjoyed his traditional. Plenty of food and the price was very reasonable. Would definitely come back. read more

We had 6 people in our party so had a 30 minute wait. They were busy but so efficient. We were seated immediately after being called and our server was there to get our drink and food order right away. Excellent service, she remembered who ordered which drink and which food, we all ordered different drinks and food. As busy as they were we didn't have a long wait. The food was delicious in taste and looks. I also enjoyed the latte coffee before my meal. We were so busy chatting and admiring the food being served we forgot to get photos! read more

Tried this place out for Saturday breakfast with a friend. She got a table for us right when they opened. Service was prompt and friendly with recommendations. I had french toast and added the fruit cup. Everything was DE-lish, but I really have to comment on how delighted I was to get a fresh side of just-cut pears, berries, mangoes, grapes, apples, & bananas! It started getting pretty packed and a bit noisy by the time we were finishing up, but it's a cozy place so I would say it's to be expected. I'd love to return and try more of their offerings. read more

First thing. No reservations aloud so there'll be a wait. They try their best to expedite it. Family of 6 out-of-towners and each individual meal ordered was delicious. Their corn beef hash was perfection. The El Paso omelette was very tasty. The Max's Omelette was perfect for a specific diet and each bite was enjoyed. Huevos Rancheros - superb. Their menu covers various dietary needs and served with a smile. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely re-visit when I'm back in the area. You locals are lucky! read more

Tried this place based on previous reviews and it did not disappoint! Great service, and delicious food! We waited about 15 min for a group of 4 which we thought was reasonable for a Sunday morning brunch. The loaded Bloody Mary was great! I had the Dublin with eggs over easy and it was amazing. My wife had the eggs Benedict with bacon instead of ham and added avacado and tomato and it was also fantastic. Would definitely eat here again! read more

We tried the Dulin's Cafe for the third time today. We've really tried to like this place over the past couple years. Unfortunately, they just can't get it right. The Traditional Breakfast is the easiest thing to make, one would thing. Eggs, toast, potatoes, meat. No frills, nothing fancy. Unfortunately, the meal was a bust again today. First, the eggs... I had to pick egg shell out of my breakfast, twice. Ordered poached eggs but ended up with hard boiled covered in egg shell. English Muffin was so dry, it was inedible. The ham was fine, but the potatoes were just blah. No taste, no flavor, no seasoning. This is unfortunate, as their service and atmosphere are pretty solid for this part of downtown Vancovuer. The waitress was pleasant and the pricing is on-point. The food is just less than mediocre and leaves no desire to return. Hopefully they can secure a better kitchen staff that can bring their A-game and change it up to a better menu. A menu change isn't necessary if they can just cook what is on their menu, well. Good luck but we won't be back anytime soon. read more

We stopped there because it's a place where we could park for free on a side street. We were going to dine at a restaurant by the waterfront, and hungry for some seafood soup, but Irish Stew sounds appealing right now, and this restaurant appealed to us, and it had 4 YELP RATING, that's a bonus! Hubby ordered the Reuben Sandwich with a side of Potato Salad. The sandwich was a classic and tasted delicious! The salad was unusual but also very very good. I ordered Turkey Club and it comes with a side of Irish Stew. They fixed it exactly how I like the club and the bacon was excellent & crispy, not soggy and raw like I've had in some restaurants (perfect for Filet Mignon lovers, but I like my bacon crispy, and they did that for me). We also got an extra serving of Irish Stew, with no extra charge! Did they know we were craving for some soup, and we shared the first one and took the other for the next meal (since we both left half of our sandwiches for the next meal). Our to-go order was ready in 10 mins. as promised! The staff was friendly. Negative: They didn't provide us with to-go utensils and napkins. Luckily, we always bring our picnic supplies but we have to share a spoon, since hubby usually don't order soup to go. I would really like to come back here in March! read more

Came here for a birthday brunch with some family. Considering we had eight people the wait wasn't terrible for a busy Sunday at noon. Strong mimosas. Great kids menu. The only thing a little bit lackluster was flavor of the eggs and the potatoes. But I'm a heavy season-er at home, so I think that's a me thing. My mom got the eggs benedict and the hollendaise also needed flavor. The service was good. The only thing that I would say about that is the plates get taken away the second you finish your last bite. they have a high turnover of tables. all in all was a good experience though the french toast, pancakes, sausage, bacon are all fantastic. read more
