Vancouver spots that know the importance of greasy breakfast
There are times when only the greasiest breakfast will do. Whether it's to soak up the previous night's indulgences, to reward you for a tough early weekend workout or just to revel in a nostalgic diner meal, we're calling breakfast — even a greasy breakfast — the most important meal of the day. These Vancouver restaurants agree.
Joe's Grill
948 Denman St, Vancouver BC V6G 2M1With four locations to choose from, Joe’s Grill is the perfect spot for a lazy weekend breakfast. Treat yourself to some simple and satisfying grub, including waffles, French toast, pancakes or the basic breakfast, which comes with eggs, your choice of meat, toast and potatoes. Joe’s evokes the down-home restaurants found in small towns everywhere, and the bottom line is they do it right.
The Templeton Holdings Inc
1087 Granville St, Vancouver BC V6Z 1L4This old school restaurant — complete with vinyl booths, stools at the counter and a jukebox — has a menu that’s a mix of classic diner and modern brunch. The Templeton’s Trucker Breakfast comes piled with eggs, meat and rosemary potatoes, and will most certainly fill you up for the long haul of the day ahead.
Edge Cafe
2450 Yukon St, Vancouver BC V5Y 0A4The Edge Café patio is the perfect place to sit and watch the Mount Pleasant hipsters go about their days.

Paul's Omelettery
2211 Granville St, Vancouver BC V6H 3G1Paul’s is obviously all about the omelettes — bundles of love wrapped in perfectly fluffy eggs. Their must-try dish is the Blackstone Omelette filled with bacon, tomato and brie. And if omelettes aren’t your thing, there is a full menu that includes eggs Benedict, corned beef hash and a great breakfast quesadilla.
Red Wagon Cafe The
2128 Hastings St E, Vancouver BC V5L 1V1Breakfast is not merely one of three daily meals at The Red Wagon, it’s the main attraction.

The unassuming exterior of this Hastings-Sunrise spot hides the morning adventure that lies within.
Bon's Off Broadway
2451 Nanaimo St, Vancouver BC V5N 5E5Located on Nanaimo and East Broadway, Bon’s might be Vancouver’s most renowned breakfast joint. Known in particular for their $2.95 breakfast special — a heaping portion of eggs, potatoes, toast and either bacon, sausage, tomatoes or mushrooms — it’s a go-to brunch staple for those who love quality cheap eats. This greasy-spoon breakfast simply can’t be beat.
Deacon's Corner Diner
101 Main St, Vancouver BC V6A 2S5This redux Gastown diner on Main and Alexander specializes in wickedly delicious American-style grub, and their breakfasts are no exception.

Deacon’s has you covered. They also have a location in Kitsilano now, so West Siders can get their fix, too.
