Reuben sandwich & Caesar salad
Paul M.

This was my first time dining at Dulin's, so I have only had one meal. The Reuben sandwich was one of the better Reubens I've ever had. The bread was toasted and buttery, and the corned beef was steaming hot and delicious. The Caesar salad was also very good. I did not leave hungry; the portion size was large. It was a very filling meal. The service was top-notch. It was a Saturday at 11 AM. It was not packed but decently crowded, and all of the servers seemed to be on their game. The ambiance reminds me of an old-school deli. It was very clean, and there was ample seating. My friend lives in Vancouver, so I will definitely be back to try more of the food offerings when I'm in the area visiting.

We've been wanting to try this place for awhile now, but it always looks so busy on the weekends, so we waited until we had a day off during the week. We arrived around 11:30 on a Wednesday. It was still pretty busy, and only two booths were open. We were first on the wait list. We only waited about 5 minutes for the host to clear the tables and set them. Staff was friendly and welcoming. You can tell it's a popular place by how busy it was on a weekday. This restaurant occupies an older building in downtown Vancouver. There is street parking available. It's a small establishment, but they do a great job of utilizing every inch. They even have a nice waiting area by the door with two long wooden benches. There are both table and chair seating, as well as a few booths. Our server was friendly, helpful and attentive. We ordered the croissant club sandwich with fries and the triple play with half a reuben sandwich, Celtic Caesar salad and a cup of Irish stew. My hubby also asked for a side of bacon. The food came out rather quickly considering how busy they were. Everything we ordered we devoured. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. I added avocado to my club sandwich and it was so yummy! Prices are more than reasonable compared to other establishments. You get a generous portion as well. Overall we were happy with the service, food and prices. We'll definitely return to try their breakfast options. Everything looked so appealing as it came out of the kitchen. Would highly recommend!

Fresh fruit to start the day
Terrance S.

Always good service and good food. The staff is excellent. Very attentive and inviting. I always feel welcome here. From the whole grain pancakes, to the chicken sausage, to oatmeal, to fresh fruit, Dulin's is a staple in downtown Vancouver. It's like visiting a cozy neighborhood eatery where all the patrons are regulars. You don't want to miss it.,

Brunch dreams do come true! We rolled up for brunch and were met with a 45-minute wait (it was Labor Day to be Fair)--but with all the glowing reviews, we figured it had to be worth it. Spoiler alert: IT TOTALLY WAS. To kill time, we wandered over to the vintage mall across the street (10/10 recommend for distraction shopping and questionable fashion decisions). By the time we were done laughing at '80s vinyls and questionable biker jackets, our table was ready. Perfect timing! Now let's talk food. Holy portions, Batman. We ordered the El Paso and the Dublin, plus a side stack of pancakes--because brunch isn't brunch without a pancake cameo, right? Safe to say, it was more than enough for two people (but we have no regrets, only delicious memories). Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and those pancakes were straight-up cloud magic. I could honestly come back just for a short stack and call it a day. The mimosas were bubbly joy in a glass, the service was decent, and overall, it was a solid brunch win. I'd 100% come back--and next time, I'm making a reservation like a pro

What a cute little find! I have been looking for a great place for huevos rancheros and found them here. Great staff. Great service!

The French omelet with bacon, mushrooms, and Brie cheese. My keto version without potatoes and added avocado and tomatoes. :-)

Great atmosphere and food... The French omelet with the mushrooms, bacon, and brie cheese was AMAZING!

Dulin's potato dish, a split portion. An ample amount to share.
Pamela L.

Three different staff members warmly greeted us and offered help while our table was being prepared--a great first impression. The space is bright and inviting, with natural light, plants, and large photos of village countrysides that perfectly reflect the café's name and theme. The menu blends Irish and American classics. We shared the Dulin's potato dish--corned beef, sautéed onions and bell peppers, cheese, horseradish, egg, and avocado. The French toast was another standout. We are looking forward to coming back to try the lunch menu!

Huevo rancheros
Autumn B.

Dulin's Café has become one of my absolute favorite breakfast spots , every visit is somehow better than the last. I order the Huevos Rancheros every single time, and it never disappoints. The flavors are fresh, perfectly balanced, and honestly? It might be the best version I've ever had anywhere. Their iced chai latte is another must-have, smooth, perfectly spiced, and not overly sweet. And if you're going for a brunch vibe, their mimosa flight is so fun and delicious. My boyfriend tries something new every time, and he swears their omelettes are top-tier across the board. Beyond the food, the service is amazing. The waitresses and waiters are always friendly, attentive, and genuinely seem to care about giving you a great experience. It's the kind of café where you feel welcomed the moment you sit down. If you're looking for a consistently excellent breakfast or brunch spot with great food, great drinks, and great people, Dulin's Café is it. Highly recommend!

$5.95 fruit cup after getting it out of the cup that had everything wedged into it.
John W.

Usually five out of five stars when I've dined at Dulin's the previous three times. I ordered the fruit cup previously before so I'm aware of its size and presentation. I don't know if they tried to dress it up to justified the $5.95 price which is more than fair in my opinion, but the way the fruit was shoved into the bowl was ridiculous. Half the mangis fell out when I tilted the small bowl to look at it. Then when I went to pull on of the 1/16" of an inch apple slices out, two more fell on the table. I'm not a germ-a-phob, but I should be able to pull my food out of the bowl without it falling onto a (hopefully clean) table. The worst part and I should have gave them one star for this, I immediately went to the counter and pair the manager? that delivered and when he asked if something was wrong, he rang me up. Fortunately I grabbed the bowl and was able to get a to go box for my "cup" of fruit. Here's a thought, give me a discount.‍ Big miss on customer service/satisfaction. Guess I'll wait a while before visiting again.

This is the second time we've enjoyed a yummy breakfast while in Vancouver! The service is great, everyone is warm and smiling. I enjoyed the veggie Benedict with avocado, spinach and tomato with a side of crispy potatoes. I especially love the local Silagy brand hot sauces; I stopped by the local market to pick up a few bottles ! :-) Tip- this is a busy spot, if you have to wait be sure to visit the antique shop across the street, lots of interesting finds.

Turkey Croissant Sandwich with Clam Chowder
Kelsie D.

Yummy food and very reasonable prices! Was seated quickly and staff was friendly. I ordered the Reuben sandwich and it was so good! Not greasy, just the right amount of sauce and the meat was cut nice and thin. Very yummy! Would definitely come back again and try other items.

Huevos Rancheros...art on a plate.
H.B. G.

Charming....charming is the word I would use to describe Dulin's Village Cafe in downtown Vancouver, like a warm hug on a rainy day. The first clue, that I had chosen wisely, was seeing people gather at the door, waiting for the restaurant to open. I ordered the short stack (2 pancakes) and a side of bacon which suited my sweet/salty cravings. The whole-grain pancakes were hot off the griddle, served with real butter, and syrup. They were tasty, but I am more of a buttermilk pancake gal. (if you want "real maple" syrup it costs extra....which, considering the jump in pricing at most restaurants, is a little annoying. But this is a minor quibble.) The two strips of thick bacon were perfectly grilled and had a nice, light, smokey flavor. Hub had the Huevos Rancheros...a layer of seasoned black beans, grilled tortilla, eggs (cooked any way you like), and topped with cheese and generous slices of avocado. It came with fresh salsa, a dollop of sour cream, and breakfast potatoes (which were delicious....and tasted freshly made, not frozen) We both had a rich cup of coffee served in a chunky mug. The service was friendly, attentive, and professional. The total for breakfast, for two, was about $33. It is getting harder to find non-chain restaurants that serve a traditional breakfast. So glad Dulin's is here. It is on my list whenever I am in downtown Vancouver.

I've walked past Amaro's many times and peeked through the windows. It always looked rather…read moreupscale, and as a chef myself, I'll admit that I'm not always drawn to food that feels a little too bougie. I know how much work goes into creating that kind of dining experience, but sometimes I just want to sit down, relax, and enjoy a great meal without overthinking it. From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted with smiles. I'll admit I was a little concerned that, because there were only two of us, we might be tucked away at a tiny table in the corner where things can feel cramped once the food arrives. Instead, we were seated at a beautiful table on the left-hand side, and we immediately felt comfortable. Then came our server, Alyssa, who was an absolute delight! She asked if we were celebrating anything special, and we explained that we were new to the area and had been encouraged to try the restaurant. Alyssa has such a calm, welcoming approach to service. She was attentive without being pushy, and she made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the evening. As someone who works in the hospitality industry, I appreciate that balance more than I can say. We started with the salt-and-pepper calamari. This is one of those dishes that can be absolutely fantastic at one restaurant and greasy or disappointing at another. Amaro's got it right! The calamari was crunchy, delicious, and a wonderful way to begin our meal. We also learned that the restaurant features a signature risotto each night of the week. We ordered the chicken Parmesan with risotto, along with the steak sandwich. The steak sandwich arrived on ciabatta bread, and it was delicious. I ordered the pepper sauce on the side, thinking I might prefer it that way. Next time, I'll definitely have it on the sandwich! It was so good that I also used it as a dipping sauce for the house chips. Trust me, that sauce deserves to be enjoyed. During dinner, the general manager, Cora, stopped by a couple of times to check on us. At the time, we didn't even realize she was the general manager. She was simply another friendly face making sure we were enjoying ourselves. That says a lot about the atmosphere of a restaurant when the hospitality feels so natural that you don't even think about titles or positions. You simply feel well taken care of. While we were eating, I glanced over at the neighboring table and noticed someone enjoying the fried chicken. Let me tell you, that portion looked impressive! It's definitely going on our list for the next visit, and it looked generous enough that you could probably bring a friend and share it. We don't drink alcohol, but I did notice that the beverage selection looked extensive, with plenty of interesting offerings for those who do. Here's the funny thing about trying a restaurant for the first time: sometimes you walk in without knowing quite what to expect, and you walk out thinking, "Well, that was a perfect choice!" That was exactly our experience at Amaro's. I often joke that when you have a truly perfect first experience at a restaurant, you almost hesitate to return because you're afraid it might be difficult to live up to that first impression. But that won't be the case here. We already have a list of dishes we want to come back and try, and I'm genuinely looking forward to our next visit. By the time we finished our meal, we were absolutely stuffed! We couldn't even finish everything on our plates, but somehow we still had dessert. We had ricotta donuts with a caramel dipping sauce. Honestly, dessert is something I would normally do not order. I'm so glad we got to give this a try! They were absolutely worth having and provided the perfect finishing touch to an already amazing dinner. Sometimes it's the dishes you wouldn't ordinarily choose that end up being the most memorable. Cora came back over for one last check in We had a nice closing conversation. A very special thank-you to Cora and Alyssa and the rest of the team for making our evening so enjoyable. Alyssa, if you're lucky enough to sit in her section, you're in for a treat. Her approach to service takes an already wonderful meal and elevates the entire dining experience. And finally, my compliments to the chef and the kitchen team. As a chef myself, I know that a successful restaurant experience takes more than good food. It takes a team working together to make guests feel welcome, comfortable, and eager to return. Amaro's delivered on all fronts. We came in to try a restaurant someone recommended, and we left feeling like we had found a place we'll be happy to return to. Great food, genuine hospitality, and a perfect way to end a three-day weekend. Welcome to our growing list of Vancouver favorites, Amaro's!

Excellent experience, all the way around. We showed up just after 5 PM on a Saturday and they had…read morequite a few reservations so there was going to be 20 minute wait for a table in the dining room. Not bad, but they offered an alternative which was to take a table in their atrium seating which is an indoor area they use on the weekends when their patio is closed for the season. Sure, why not? It was great. Spread out, a lot of windows so we could see the beautiful premises, and great service from Karen. I was delighted to learn that they now have a new section on their menu that just came out two days ago that are smaller portioned meals. There are about a half dozen to choose from and I had the chicken marsala which comes with the same thing as the full plate, mashed potatoes, and a seasonal vegetable, tonight, French green beans. The portion was ideal and incredibly tasty just a symphony of flavor in the chicken and the marsala sauce. My dinner partner had the citrus salmon and enjoyed it very much as well. I like the East Vancouver and the Hazel Dell locations as well, but I think downtown might be my favorite. Main street is alive and happening and now with beautiful string lights running across the road as far as the I can see in either direction, it's just magical.

I am absolutely loving exploring the area around my new home!…read more About two blocks away is Uptown Barrel Room, and I think I may have just found my new favorite neighborhood spot. It's close enough to walk to, which makes it even better. Honestly, every time I walk through the door, I almost want to start singing the Cheers theme song. This is now my third visit, and each time I've had a great experience. The crowd is incredibly friendly, and there's just something about this place that makes you feel welcome. On my first visit, I sat at the bar and met Randi, the bartender. She is absolutely amazing! She knows everyone by name and has that wonderful ability to make you feel like you've been coming there forever. I started with the calamari, and Randi set me up with some chipotle mayo for dipping. Excellent choice! I finished with the combination pizza. At first, I thought the crust was sourdough, but I was told it's actually a bagel crust. Regardless of what you call it, it was absolutely delicious! My second visit was about a week and a half later. I sat at the bar again, and Randi looked at me, smiled, and said, "Tony, right?" Now THAT is pretty amazing! Remembering my name after only one previous visit--and with a week and a half between visits--is exactly the kind of personal touch that makes a place special. Of course, I had to order the calamari again. This time I also tried the fried chicken. And if you're looking for a big portion, this is definitely worth checking out! For my third visit, I brought a couple of friends along. Candace took great care of us and did an amazing job as well. We started with the Italian meatball soup, and it was phenomenal. We also tried the fajita tacos, and they were absolutely delicious. While sitting at a regular table this time, I noticed some pretty impressive accolades on the wall. Uptown Barrel Room was named Best Wine Bar and Best Seafood in 2023, and Best Wine Bar again in 2024. It's always fun finding those little neighborhood gems, especially when you're new to an area. For me, Uptown Barrel Room has quickly become one of those places where you can walk in, see friendly faces, enjoy some great food, and feel like you belong. If you're in the area, go in and give it a try. You will not be sorry! And if you see me sitting at the bar, just come say hi. Apparently, Randi already knows my name. Cheers to discovering new places and making new friends!
