“One of the most beautiful cafes anywhere...like being in a cozy cabin. The coffee always perfectly prepared, the pastries fresh, and brunch is awesome. A great place to relax and treat yourself...!”
“Me and boyfriend wanted to celebrate my citizenship ceremony. We were thinking of going to this place long time ago together as I went with my friends before. This was my second time and I really love their fried chicken and fries combo! They are very fresh and crispy. All the foods we ordered was good but highlight of this meal is definitely fried chicken. Thank you so much Ssal we had very nice meal”
“Great experience! Only wish this place had a location that was closer to home! Definitely recommend making a reservation as the restaurant is busy and smaller in size; the tables fill up quickly!
The food was so good I forgot to take pictures of everything before eating. Their dumplings and their pork bun/sandwich were excellent, and all their noodles had amazing flavour and texture. Everything we ordered was delicious, and came out fairly quickly. If I’m in the area again, I will definitely come back!”
“The sushi and sushi burritos were amazing! My husband isn’t usually a fan of sushi, but he said this was the best he’s ever had.
However, we encountered an issue with tipping. It’s not mandatory, but after we didn’t tip, the waitress seemed upset and made it clear to us. I believe she even mentioned it to the kitchen staff, as they were giving us a rather unwelcoming look. It was quite an unpleasant experience.
I don’t understand why tipping has to be expected. When we visit a place, we anticipate receiving good service for what we pay. We tip when we can, based on our budget, so it was disappointing to receive such a negative reaction for not tipping.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“The best Japanese food I’ve had in a long time. Nice stuff. Nice people really good place all around atmosphere is good. Nice quiet place amazing place a fire star out of five stars.”
“I stopped by this cozy spot on Marine Drive one afternoon and the experience surprised me in the best way. At first it looked like a small ramen restaurant from the street, but once I sat down I noticed how warm and welcoming the place felt. I tried a bowl of miso ramen and the broth was deep and full of flavor that warmed me up right away. I also ordered a plate of tonkatsu and it came out crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside which made every bite satisfying. The people working there were helpful and explained the menu without rushing me, which made ordering easy and stress free. Around me I saw others enjoying their meals too, and it felt like a spot where locals come back again and again. I left full, happy, and thinking about my next visit. This is a place that takes classic Japanese comfort food and serves it in a way that feels both delicious and comforting for anyone who loves good food.”
“This dish is a showstopper! The lamb is so tender and infused with spices that make each bite unforgettable. A fantastic option for lamb lovers!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“I have to say, this was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. A friend recommended this place to me, and tonight was my first time trying it — and honestly, it was exceptional. The flavors were on point, the quality was incredible, and every bite made me want to come back again. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re truly missing out. I highly recommend giving it a try!”

“These people are amazing. They had fantastic/empathetic customer service and had no issues making me new pizzas from scratch & delivering them asap when my original order got lost (via a 3rd party delivery service). The pizza was worth the wait ??. Thank you again. You are my new favourite!”

“The viewpoint is the real highlight. Watching the sunset while enjoying a drink was unforgettable. The atmosphere is calm during the day and turns vibrant and cozy in the evening, making it perfect for both relaxation and social time.”
“I had a craving for sushi and decided to stop here at Kin Sushi which I’ve been to a few times already. It’s a small restaurant with friendly staff. I ordered the Favourite sushi combo and gomae. I was served quickly and tea was also topped up regularly. Everything was fresh and very nicely plated. It’s a very popular place for takeout as guests were rolling in the whole time to pick up orders. The only knock I have was that the washroom floor felt sticky, the dining area is very clean though. I do recommend this place and will continue to come back.”

“Fantastic restaurant with delicious food, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and even on a weekday it was clear this place has many, many happy regulars. The owner greeted everyone with such energy, and the whole place felt lively yet relaxing. Everything was spotless, and every dish we tried was excellent. Can’t wait to come back!”
“We have been ordering from Ginger and Soy for both takeout and dine in for the past several years. They produce some of the best dishes, piping hot to your door. It is a premium product and more expensive than local alternatives. It is worth it. Family members even fight over the leftovers a day later.”
“The staff went out of their way to accommodate us. Clean place , great food and fantastic staff and service”
“The food was absolutely delicious! I got the Economy bento box and it was a great value for money! The food is super authentic and i saw some dishes ive never seen before at other Japanese restaurants. The staff were friendly and brang out the food quickly! All prices were pretty fair and portions were large. Definitely is my favorite Japanese restaurant in West Vancouver and would come back here again!”

“This was our first time here. We chose it because we had to have a meeting and this was a central location with some coming from the Sunshine Coast. I normally am not a fan of pizza, once a year is good enough for me. However, that has now changed. This pizza was so fresh and tasted amazing, especially the crust! I asked for light sauce and the amount was perfect. The owner was very accommodating, some wanted coffee which they don't serve, but he allowed us to pop down the block and grab one from Starbucks and bring it back to have with our meal. The regulars were super friendly and at lunchtime was pretty busy with a lot of workers coming in for lunch. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!”

“10/10 outstanding. Delicious home made breakfast. Friendly service , even from the cook who gave me my food. Enjoyable atmosphere , I loved all the signs , had a good laugh while waiting for my food. Small family run business , a homey little place , this is what I love. Hope it’s here for years to come. Also I absolutely loved the home made iced tea , I wanted to get another one.”
“Enjoyed another tasty meal at Carmelo’s in West Vancouver. Anyone looking for delicious traditional Italian food paired with a decent selection of wine, should definitely visit Carmelo’s. Whether it’s your first time, or you haven’t been in a while, I’d highly recommend stopping by for dinner.”
“My absolute go-to coffee shop in town. The staff are always super smiley, friendly, and happy to tailor your drink exactly how you want it.
As a tea person, this spot is hands-down my favourite for a proper London Fog—paired with a fresh ham & cheese croissant or one of their juicy, house-made loaves after a Saturday run along the seawall. Pure bliss.
Special shout-out to their double-shot flat white: it’s on another level compared to the big chains. You’ve honestly resurrected my faith that a tasty, perfectly-tempered (not mouth-burning!) coffee actually exists.”
“I had the Bangkok bowl with sautéed shrimp and it was fantastic. Happy hour prices from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. We hit this at the perfect time. Super friendly and beautiful staff.”
“I visit often and love the menu. Breathtaking view and wonderful service as well. It was about a week ago that I was in last time and had our fav server Austin. He is a gem! So fun and still professional”

“A great local spot right next to the Ferry Terminal. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and it was fresh and absolutely delicious. This is a cozy little spot and the owner and her mom who run it are so sweet. I’ll definitely come here again as supporting local spots in the community is so important. Looking forward to trying the fresh pressed juice next time!”
“As a local guide it’s been my lifelong dream to become a local at old school pub walking distance from my home. At the square rigger I realized that dream.
Here are some
Highlights :
Great pint of Guinness
Friday night live music
Saturday night karaoke
Happy hour till 6pm
Dog friendly + they even have a dog hall of fame.
They let you bring in your own food”
“We almost didn't go in, because there were all these negative reviews about sushi. That sushi place is not there now.
Loong's serves above average Chinese food. I'm no expert, but I enjoyed it. We had the noodles with XO sauce (they subbed chicken for pork), and the Sweet & Sour Pork.
They deserve 5 stars, to balance off the irrelevant reviews for the former sushi place, that used to be at this address (get your act together, Google).”
“Very fast service, immaculate food presentation, a very chillz relaxed atmosphere, close to bus stop, as I’m holiday here from Sydney. The best dish I would recommend is La Vong rolls.”
“Overall food quality was good, however the BBQ chicken was overcooked and dry/ tough to eat, ribs were rather short of meat . Won't order the BBQ ribs and chicken again. Other dishes ok”

“Delaney's Dundarave has been my 'go to' spot to relax with coffee and a muffin or a yoghurt for years. The staff are always ready a with a smile and friendly greeting, no matter the time, and the coffee is excellent. It's lovely to sit and enjoy a coffee outside in the sunshine or when it's cool and wet, inside with the work of local artists on the wall. It's a place to relax where friends and the local community have gathered to chat over warm drinks and tasty snacks for many, many years.”
“We don’t live in West Vancouver, but my husband and I have been going to this location because we enjoy seeing Lovely Vishu and the delicious pizzas she makes. She is very pleasant and puts a lot of care in what she does. Thank you Vishu for making our experience special!”
“Good day and well wishes for 2026 to the great folks at this location.
May I start by saying that I had the best egg&cheese muffin paired with an even amazing Americano ☕️ - kudos to the connoisseurs behind the scenes!
On a different note, I am saddened and slightly annoyed at some of the tone-deaf and negative reviews about this location. My work experience in the service and quality assurance industry has made me resilient to subjective behaviour, but this one takes the medal 🏅 The over-sheltered and pampered individuals who disliked the service, taste and temperature of their cafeteria food not being able to meet their inflated standards, could have easily communicated eloquently and asked for a little more to make their experience better - a simple smile, a different food item or correction to the order may have been more helpful; kindness will only come back as kindness.
Finally, the purpose of Google reviews is to help the public make educated and friendly choices and not to be subjected to an individual's frustrations. Peace ✌️ and Praise 🙏”
“Booster Juice is amazing, and Amrit makes the experience even better! She’s always so kind and listens carefully to my custom requests, unlike other places where staff can be rude or dismissive. The smoothies are always fresh, delicious, and exactly how I want them. Her friendly attitude and great service are a big reason I keep coming back!”
“Cute & cozy brunch place with a nice variety of breakfast options and creative drinks.
We tried the Persian Breakfast and the Traditional Benedict. Both were 10/10. The service was also very friendly.”
“Outstanding place. Unbeatable view, friendly staff, and excellent food. New favorite place.”
“Very warm and welcoming atmosphere - I really enjoyed eating here. The sushi was great quality and the pricing was quite reasonable too for the portions and ingredients. I’d be happy to come here again next time I’m passing by!”
“Excellent meal and service at the Park Royal location. One of the many great things about Cactus Club is the consistency of the high quality food and service received in all the locations I have been to.”
“Tj was a great bartender and made us feel at home. Food and atmosphere where perfect for a local pub . Even the owner came out to chat and was a very nice gentleman. Definitely recommend worth the time to come sit down.”
“Their Earl Grey Decaf tea is the best. Works great for London Fog Lattes.😍”

“My first experience with this place was 2 bites and into the garbage. Flavourless sludge. I read all the latest reviews which said pretty much the same thing as experienced tonight. Staff yakking on the phone or talking to each other while they leave you waiting. The toppings on my tacos were a joke. They just threw it together without a clue. Maybe a cultural thing as they were not Latino and had no pride. Zero meat. This is the first time I have bothered to post a bad review about anything. I have been traveling Mexico for over 45 years and built 4 vacation rentals in a place called Yelapa down the coast from PV and this place is a blight on the landscape. I dug”

“Fellows that work at Park Royal/regular staff have the best skills in "Customer Service" Today was exceptionally busy and every customer was afforded the time to get their drink correct I appreciate their efforts every time I go there! I am soon to be Platinum Customer!”
“Best service I’ve ever received in my life the manager Rambo was so sweet and made my whole family feel so welcome. Our waitress Grace was so polite and on top of everything. Not to mention the INCREDIBLE food done to perfection by the chefs this was such an amazing experience and I can’t wait to come back”

“I was on a way to a hike for my birthday and wanted to stop by a cafe and this popped up on google maps. I usually roll my eyes when I see reviews saying it’s a hidden gem, but it was actually kinda hidden and it is a gem of a place, so I’m happy I stopped by!
I ordered a latte, a pecan fancier and a croissant. Absolutely amazing! They have their own in house baker that makes their baked goods.
Latte was well balanced and the art was so pretty. Perfect amount of foam and I love how the cup was big enough to dip the baked goods in it.
Croissant was super crispy on the outside but soft and buttery on the inside. It makes the perfect crisp noise when being pulled apart!
Fancier was crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. The pecans added such a nice texture. It was so good!
Atmosphere: I loved the interior decor and furnishings inside. It really felt on theme for a Paris/french vibe. I loved the chairs inside with the rattan design, it always makes places feel more premium.
Service: the barista was really nice and was helpful when I didn’t know what to get. Even asked me how the baked goods were when I went to drop off my plates and cup.
Areas for improvement: I had a great first impression and experience, but if I were to be nit picky then I do have a couple minor suggestions! First being the bathroom. It was clean and tidy and not smelly at all. I only noticed that there could be a deeper clean to get rid of scuff marks along the door and the floor. It’s tough because the door is white so it’s more noticeable. I didn’t have a particular problem but it’s something I noticed since it’s such a contrast from the beautiful bright and clean cafe atmosphere.
Second is the coffee mate at the side station. I felt it was out of place and ruined the high end illusion for me. I understand small businesses can’t afford a self serve milk and cream canister, but I’d rather have there be a sign saying you have to ask for cream/milk or the barista to ask you if you want milk (note I ordered a latte so this wasn’t applicable to me, it’s just something I wanted to point out). I also think that it’s a disservice to your coffee and beautiful pastries to have whitener in the same vicinity.
Third is make it known your baked goods are made by your in house baker! I don’t think I saw a sign big enough and people need to know more info about this baker!”
