    Open Face Turkey Sandwich
    Brandon M.

    This is the epitome of the quintessential retro 1950s cafe! We landed here late one night after doing a retro-themed escape room. We grabbed a bite before ending our festivities. The Stardust is exactly on the inside what you expect to get by looking at the outside. You're greeted by friendly staff and quickly seated. The diner menu is 100% all-American quisine. Burgers, Fries, Open-Face sandwiches, milkshakes, the works. The tables and decore match the theme of the era. The staff is responsive and friendly. The prices are a bit high but I imagine they're struggling to keep the doors open with all the hustle and bustle around them likely trying to push them out of the corporate giant's way. If ever on the east side of Vancouver, give them a try. Well worth your time to go have a good ole diner meal!

    I've driven by this place many times and never stopped because there was always a line out the door. I was alone so figured it would be easier to get a seat at the bar. I went in around 10:00 in the morning during the week and it was quite busy. The service is very good and they are very attentive at refilling coffee. The portions here are massive and the food was very tasty. You can customize almost anything which I really appreciated. It does seem like a hangout place for some of the seniors in the community, so the food does benefit from a bit of seasoning.

    Love the tin ceiling and retro counter and stools.

    Ok so the food was so good that we ate and forgot to take pics! But my daughter and I often share country fried steak...BUT here it's Chicken Fried steak and when I say best GRAVY ever- I have had a lot! Absolutely loved it and the steak was still crunchy underneath. The home style potatoes were super crispy and yummy. Our Server Rachel was attentive and super sweet. We live in San Diego but are here for friend's wedding- and would definitely come here again on next visit.

    Great music!!!!

    Ms Bree our waitress is a bubbly person who is always positive and kind. Our food is always served hot not cold. The food is delicious it takes me back to my youth. The service, food and ambiance is great! 50s! I recommend it here!!

    My parents live really close and we pass it all the time. They have friends who say it's good so why not. We came for breakfast. I got the country fried steak. It passed the fork test. I should be able to eat it with just a fork. Very tender and a decent sized piece. Something was missing though. Like seasoning in both the gravy and the steak. My brother got the blueberry pancakes. They were ok. Definitely artificially colored blueberry sauce. But sometimes that's what you want. It definitely checks the boxes of a fifties type diner. Service was very friendly and helpful. Just not really food I would be coming back for.

    Growing up on the East Coast and living in the South, I am a huge fan of diners, and Stardust Diner definitely did not disappoint. Fast service, delicious food, and those classic jukeboxes create the perfect mix of nostalgia and a great meal. The Redneck Benedict was absolutely addictive, and the portions are massive--just as tasty the second time around. The spinach omelette with. crispy hashbrowns was amazing too. Sitting at the counter was a fun, almost ethereal experience. Plus, there's plenty of parking in the back of the restaurant. You will not walk away hungry.

    Solid breakfast spot, been going here easily the last 15 years. For breakfast the food is good. Dinner and lunch is hit or miss. With that said it's still definitely worth it. It has all the basic diner staples for all meals 9f the day. The prices are incredible, easily the lowest in Vancouver. It has a 1950's and older theme. You can play music at your table and there is a jukebox (Look it up kids) in the entry way. The service is fast and has been great everytime I've been there. If you live in Vancouver and haven't checked it out you are missing a great spot. It's also great for families with younger kids. It's loud with a mix of different types of people.

The food is consistently fresh, delicious, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve.

    We attempted to visit La Provence around 11A during a previous trip to Vancouver, but the wait was…read moretoo long and we had an extensive drive home ahead of us. This time, we arrived around 9A and were seated approximately 30 minutes later in the very well-heated patio area. Our server was welcoming and returned quickly for our drink order. I chose an oat-milk chai and was not disappointed. For a restaurant presented as a French bistro, I was surprised that there wasn't a single quiche on the menu. I almost ordered the BLT, but I wanted to try something different, so I chose the west coast salmon benedict with provençal potatoes and butternut squash. The hollandaise was tasty, but the benedict itself was mixed for me. It was served on a sliced croissant, which sounded appealing but wasn't sturdy enough for the toppings and quickly became soggy. Thankfully, I had removed the top half and eaten it separately. I was also expecting the thin slices of smoked salmon you might find on a bagel, but instead received a salmon fillet whose smoked flavor was barely noticeable -- perhaps the Hollandaise overwhelmed it. The butternut squash was delicious and outshined the potatoes by several miles. I wish I had asked for an entire side of squash bc some of the potatoes tasted stale, much like McDonald's fries that have been sitting around for a few hours. My daughter ordered the risotto cakes and eggs, which also made me question the "French bistro" identity, since risotto is Italian. SIL had the corned beef hash. Hubby ordered the chef's omelet with a side of bacon. And the grandbabies had pancakes, bacon, and eggs. My family makes it very obvious when food is delicious: lots of nodding, happy sighs, "You need to try this," or completely cleaned plates. Breakfast did not produce any of that. As our server was preparing to close out the tab, we asked for the dessert menu so we can sing happy birthday to one of our grandbabies. We ordered the Versailles cake and a pavlova. The Versailles was the definite winner. Suddenly, there were the yum sounds and the "You need to try this" comments. We all agreed that its light texture and coffee chocolate flavor were wonderfully similar to our beloved cappuccino mousse cake from Schubert's Bakery SF. It wasn't overly sweet, and the velvety dark-chocolate ganache was delicious. I enjoyed it so much that I went home and immediately searched for a Versailles cake recipe, only to discover that "Versailles" apparently isn't an established French dessert, but La Provence's name for its chocolate sponge layered with vanilla, coffee, and dark chocolate mousses. The pavlova was enjoyable, but it inspired nowhere near the enthusiasm of the Versailles. Between the polenta, risotto, pesto, burrata, mascarpone, tiramisu, avocado toast, corned beef hash, Benedicts, and conspicuous absence of quiche, I left wondering how much of the actual menu is French. There are certainly French ingredients, sauces, pastries, and techniques, but the overall experience felt more like a Pacific Northwest brunch café with French and Italian influences than a true French bistro. Would I return when visiting our daughter and her family? Not on my own accord. If the family chose it, I would definitely go, but I would adjust my expectations and not think of it as a French bistro, order an oat chai, request extra butternut squash, and save plenty of room for the Versailles.

My sister and I decided to split it, and the restaurant went above and beyond by plating it on two separate plates for us. The photos show our individual portions--and that's only half each!

I would prefer something a little bit more done. But their steaks definitely do not disappoint. I have been to other steak houses in the Portland area. Roots beats other famous Portland steak houses by their flavor, tenderness, service, atmosphere and portion size. However, their menu items are quite pricey. My steak was nicely cooked and seasoned. The mashed potato and veggies were excellent. They topped the steak with couple pickled onion rings which was quite refreshing. And don't forget the garlic infused butter served with the steak. It was wonderful. I had my wedge salad while my husband had their soup of the day. It was a big salad which Ai appreciate. The blue cheese crumbles and salad dressing was fantastic. The chocolate mousse dessert was a piece of art. It was quite big and can be easily shared with another person. The atmosphere inside was nice and modern in a warm sense. The servers were very attentive. I am not sure what brand of root beer do they serve but it was very good.

The biscuit portion is just too much and it dwarfed the eggs and poor quality bacon. Last time here.
