we love this restaurant for brunch and dinner. love to sit at the banquette. food consistently good, lovely choices. i do miss the bread basket or croissant as a starter for brunch. good coffee,great brunch choices. almost always get crab cake benedict. the roast potatoes and grilled tomato good. wish there was a fruit plate but i understand that is difficult. although quite noisy, its a great place to meet up with new people and old friends. we hike it in from Tsawwassen but always worth it. Great venue in advance of concerts too.

Coal Harbour

About the restaurant

Since 1975, this popular breakfast, brunch and lunch spot has satisfied the hunger cravings of British Columbians thanks to a tasty menu of sweet and savoury treats. Arrive hungry and order the signature Dutch Pannekoek, which tastes similar to a North American pancake but is only slightly thicker than a crepe. Fun fact: the large pannekoek can be cut into 113 square one-inch bites. Popular toppings for this substantial meal include The Canadian with bacon, eggs, tomatoes and maple syrup, and The Trail Mix with trail mix, honey and hot cinnamon-dusted apples. Located in the Convention Centre West, the Burrard Landing location offers stunning views of Stanley park and the North Shore.

Reservation was ready when. We arrived at bit early. Service is always fantastic and today was a very enjoyable happy Spanish waiter. Very personal service going above and beyond with my friends. Very enjoyable. Had the Crepe Suzette...delightful. food has never been a anything but outstanding. Of course the pastries are also world class. Only thing that we lamented from previous visits is the fact they nolonger have a synchronized video screen to the fantastic soft jazz playing in the restaurant. Used to be entertaining to see a band play on the huge screen singing the same music as n I n playing n in the restaurant. But again a very enjoyable experience and always a highlight for our Robson fix. Highly recommended.
