Breakfast

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.

About the restaurant

Gastown's popular Water Street is alive with the taste of another era. Meander down the cobbled sidewalk and stumble across a true find, the uniquely situated Al Porto Ristorante. Spacious yet cozy, the room is as distinct as the cuisine that defines the rich flavour, and culture of Italy.

Please call the restaurant for parties of 7 or more. 604-683-8376
Private rooms and special menus for groups are available.

The service was exceptional: the food presentation on the high tea pedestal, the quality of the tea cups & cutlery, the professional uniform of the servers, the cleanliness, and the music were all outstanding.

Really good neighbourhood sports bar with a family side (larger tables, games for the kids, big screen TV, room for strollers) and a bar side (great array of local breweries, big screen TV array, lots of high top tables with patio outside). Excellent food and service - highly recommend!

About the restaurant

Founded in 2006 as Mahony & Sons, we operate two locations in Vancouver at the Convention Centre West and False Creek and recently transitioned to our new ‘Mahony’s Tavern’ brand that better reflects our long history as a cornerstone of the Vancouver hospitality scene. Both locations are prized for their expansive dining rooms, private group spaces and patios, all of which offer views that showcase the picture-perfect views of the ocean, mountains and cityscapes for which Vancouver is famously known.

Perfect for any group occasion — or no occasion at all — our new food menu focuses on classic West Coast fare and offers a wide array of shareable snacks, seafood dishes, artisan hand-tossed pizzas, fresh salads and bowls and gourmet handhelds. Our beverage menu highlights some of the very best craft beer and wine from BC’s own backyard and well beyond its borders, in addition to classic cocktails, ciders, seltzers and more.
