Places that I have personally enjoyed!
Good chicken and waffles for brunch. It also has dinner offerings. One of the few places where you can reserve a breakfast/brunch table in downtown Vancouver.

I have tried another branch on Cambie Street. Good value/quality for price - great meat and sandwich (roasted pork, other other offerings). Consistent quality. Good for quick bite but also comfortable for a bit longer, in small group or if you're on your own!
