This East Van institution-with its battered booths, frayed carpets, and poster-plastered yellow walls-is always full, serving its famous all-day breakfast for less than you'll find in your couch cushions. Just $2.95 (the same price for 25 years) gets you a heaping helping of eggs, sausage, hash browns, and toast, plus a front-row seat to serious people-watching-from Bon's motley crew of servers... more

Great diner to Try
April 19, 2014

First of all the All day breakfast for $2.95 is a great deal. Two eggs anyway you like, toast, potatoes, choice of bacon or sausage. I paid a little more to get the Fresh fruit instead of the meats. Good service. Healthy options too with egg white omelettes. Burgers, pancakes and the all the rest. Fun place to visit

One of those have to try once places
March 19, 2014

I've been there many times. It's one of those places you have to try once when in Vancouver. It is not by any stretch of the imagination, fancy. It is a no nonsense quick in and out kind of place. It is grungy, but has a lot of charm. Actually, there isn't a word in the dictionary that can describe... more

Top tips for visiting Bon's Off Broadway
August 22, 2013

Tip 1: If you do not own a car then prepare to catch the publich transport to this joint. Be warned that the public transports are really slow and always delayed during weekend.
Tip 2: What to order? Ok, definitely order the $2.99 meal deal. I highly recommend you to order only 1 pancake if you are not a big... more

Depends on what you want
August 20, 2013

I liked the neighborhhod feel, the grafitti on the wall, the real food and people. Some in my party didn't think it was for tourists. Maybe so, but they were friendly and the $2.95 breakfast special was enough to let me skip lunch. Y

breakfast
March 13, 2013

Have gone there for several years, once or twice a week. Best low-priced breakfast in town. Very busy, wide variety of clientele. Breakfast time on weekends, sometimes on weekdays, will produce a line-up. Combination of booths and small tables.
Breakfast includes fried potatoes, two eggs, variety of toasts, the usual bacon/ham/sausage option, coffee for about 4.50. Service is good. Eggs... more

Good Cheap Breakfast
January 28, 2013

This is not the Pan Pacific or Banff Springs Hotel breakfast for $30, but it is $2.99 for the breakfast special (add $1 for coffee and you are out the door for less than $5.00).
I usually have the eggs, brown toast, bacon with pan fried potatoes and a cup of coffee. When they are not busy, your coffee gets... more

If you want to see the Commercial drive cool crowd, get a massive breakfast for super cheap... and you are not in a hurry, you should go at least once.

Funky breakfast
January 09, 2013

Probably the most popular breakfast place in East Vancouver. Cheap and funky. Some go to meet friends, others to watch people. And the price of breakfast includes unlimited coffee (unlike most places which advertise a cheap breakfast, then charge $2.50 extra for the coffee).

Filthy Disgusting- no longer a good safe place to eat
November 05, 2012

I have eaten at Bon's for years. I used to love the atmosphere and good reasonably priced home cooked food.Recently after a year away from Vancouver I brought some friends to "Bon's" for breakfast. Upon entering I noticed how run down and smelly it had become... We found a "dirty" table with food scraps,sticky jam, and who knows what else... more

October 22, 2012

Place is nice. The people are nice. The staff is nice and the owners of that place are cool. Everything is great about this place but the best is the low price and the amount of food you get. Good job. Thank you.

May 25, 2011

Great place to have breakfast if you're on a budget. Nice pancakes, great atmosphere, always busy, come prepared to queue at the weekend. It is what your idea of a greasy spoon is. Hollandaise sauce on the eggs benedict not great, but should have known better than to order eggs benedict in a greasy spoon.

....1. It is what all other 'Greasy Spoon' restaurants ought to aspire to.
2. It is so cheap, and you get a huge portion.
3. The quirky drawings and posters and you can write a message on the walls or posters, and no-one says a thing! Hilarious!
4. It is not fine dining, but the atmosphere is earthy, vibrant and... more
