Northern Cafe & Grill is a family-run diner perched above a working lumberyard in South Vancouver, serving Asian-Western fusion comfort food since 1949. The menu blends Canadian breakfast classics with handmade wontons, gyozas, smoked salmon eggs benny, and bottomless fresh-brewed coffee, earning Vancouver Magazine's 'Best Brunch' award in 2025 and 2026 and Yelp's #1 spot in Canada in 2023. Its off-the-beaten-path location, retro atmosphere, and walls covered in handwritten notes from guests around the world make it a genuine neighbourhood destination well off the tourist trail.
