The Diner Vancouver

Awesome breakfast/brunch spot! Love the mission, great selection of classic breakfast food with good flavor. The decor is really well done and it is a clean, cozy environment. I ordered the eggs Benedict and it was a good sized portion and tasted great.

Did not know this little gem was hidden here! Best Eggs Benedict I have had in quite some time! Loved the Yukon Gold home potatoes, fresh parsley...great presentation . Strawberry Minosa was made with puree and so yummy. Clean restaurant, cool vibe like old time diner. Great friendly staff....you should really stop in!

The Diner is a solid addition to Vancouver breakfast establishments with the added twist of being for a good cause. Instead of tips, you leave donations to help support Meals on Wheels People. The food is good, though nothing special. They were not super busy early on a Saturday morning which was nice! Service was very good.

We’ve now visited The Diner Vancouver 5 times in the last 3 weeks. We love a lot of things about this place; the mission, the design of the establishment, the food. The thought that went into designing the space translates into the dishes which aren’t the gross, greasy splatter you get at most breakfast spots in Vancouver. The eggs Benedict while nothing new are elevated with the use of layered ham vs a coin of Canadian bacon ew, the hollandaise sauce is on point too. I’m not a fan of biscuits and gravy EVER, but after tasting my husbands on our first visit, I ended up ordering it on our next visit. The food while being traditional dishes, feels fresh and I appreciate that. I also love their mission to donate the “tips” to the meals on wheels people, that feels really noble and says a lot about the staff working there. All in all, we love the vibe and the food and it’s now a breakfast staple for us.

Quality diner food, well priced, good specials, take away case with pastries and pies. Love the mission of this place -- providing subsidized or free meals for seniors. Staff are paid living wage and benefits, and all "tips" pay for the subsidized meal program.

Wonderful diner! First and foremost they proudly add meals on wheels to their signage which is terrific, wonderful cause. Second, while the diner is small-ish it didnt seem to be overly busy even on a Saturday. Maybe breakfast is different? Staff was attentive and nice. The food was terrific, I had french toast which they use brioche for and it was soft and fluffy and buttery with some powdered sugar. By itself it tasted amazing and wasnt overly filling. I appreciated the portion size. Came with some fresh fruit, strawberry, blueberry, and orange which actually tasted fresh. My GF had an omelette with toast and hash browns. The eggs were light and fluffy and cooked well, not soggy at all. Hash browns were well cooked and crispy which is how they should be and was seasoned nicely. Overall food was delicious. Best part was it didnt break the bank, considering how expensive eating out is nowadays both dishes came to a little more than $22 which imo is a steal especially for the quality of food. My recommendation is it's worth the wait if you do need to. P.S. notice most of the patrons were elderly and overheard pleasant conversations about the diner and their repeat business. May have found a little gem! Parking: Fairly small parking lot but would probably fit the entire diner, as it's fairly small as well.

Cute little diner with excellent service. Bright, cheerful inside. Food was freshly made, coffee tasted on point. Proceeds benefit Meals on Wheels.Food: 5/5

Or third or fourth visit, can't remember exactly. Each time has been around lunch/brunch, and we've never had any complaints. Today I ordered the Breakfast Burger, cooked with some pink and an over-easy egg, swapping fries in instead of the hash browns. My children, because of the lack of a still being developed kid menu, both opted for the large yogurt and granola parfait. The food is always fresh-made, and always served hot except the parfait. The service is always pleasant, and on the couple occasions the house was packed, it was only a short wait for a table. Definitely in the weekend rotation for sure!

First time at The Diner in Vancouver. It's a good, clean, acoustic atmosphere. The place was busy on Sunday so about 45 minutes to get a table. We knew so we planned ahead. They have good coffee, and the food was prepared perfectly. From the eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, to the Avacado Toast, to the Mac & Cheese, the food was all perfect! I look forward to trying lunch. I've included a picture which says a lot! As for the other part of my experience, the waitress we had was either new at her role or didn't care too much about returning to our table. I don't want to be too judgemental, but I didn't get a single warmup of coffee in the time we ordered till we were leaving. Everyone was friendly, accurate, and prompt up front, but once we ordered the only times she came back were to deliver our plates and to bring the check. I could tell the rest of the folks being served by others weren't having that experience so I will try again, but that probably could use a little coaching.Thank you for the good food! I look forward to coming back!

I met my sister here and it had great food and good prices! The customer service was fantastic! They have a great menu of breakfast and a bunch of lunch options! Also a good children’s menu! I love that it also donates and works with Meals on Wheels! Definitely check this place out! Vegetarian options: They have a beyond burger, Mac & Cheese, and breakfast options that are vegetarian! Kid-friendliness: Coloring pages & good menu.
