The staff is very friendly . Food is good and pretty cheap . Good music in the background. Old school interior. We had the big ass breakfast and the trucker breakfast . Both amazing!Must do in vancouver!

Joe Nixon

Busy diner with friendly staff and lots of vegetarian choices . If you don't want to wait, get here right at opening time. Otherwise write your name on the clipboard at the front to wait for a table.

Christy D

Amazing food, great service, very easy to eat here as a vegetarian and or with food allergies. Bathroom is in the kitchen, but staff is super friendly so its not weird. Vegan mushroom gravy rocks!

Janice Thys

Food was fast, hot and very tasty. Service was fabulous. Come to Vancouver a few times a year and found this little hidden gem ! #breakfadt #eggsbenny #neicestrip #canitgetanybetterthanthis

There were many vegetarian options and even some vegan options , all of which sounded really good. Reasonably priced and tasty food. Would have enjoyed it 100% if the servers had been less standoff-ish

Murdo Connochie

Opt for the croissant with bacon and brie . It’s excellent.

Tosoh Lustrepot

Yummy food in a nice diner atmosphere. Service is good and this place has a "funky" vibe which is more than I can say for a lot of places nearby. Portabello burger is good. Good breakfasts .

Sarah / Sara is an amazing waitress & has the best recommendations (especially for this vegan ) around. She's a pretty snazzy dresser too so go see about her & tip her well . 💪😁👍

Laurie Bennett

Still the best diner in Van. Coffee served on arrival, mountainous eggs/pancakes/joy and an at-table juke box too.

Hannah Kirsebom

Looove classical diners like this. Awesome avocado toast , great staff . Only wish they also had bagels :) <3

Martin Weigert

The Hakai Omelet is not only very delicious, it also filled my stomach until the evening. Remarkable, was even that much.

What's Really Good Traveller

Give yourself at least an hour to eat; the nonstop rush keeps the kitchen backed up. The wait staff is pretty solid though. The Templeton is laid back and stays open ’til 11 weekdays and 1am weekends. Read more

I had the farmers breakfast . A good option if you are looking for a vegetarian breakfast

They have great options for vegetarians ! I had the grilled veg&cheese sandwich and it was amazing. Definitely coming back

Eric Tigre

The Templeton on Granville is a good breakfast and lunch counter serving up strong coffee and old-school egg breakfasts and pancakes in a retro chrome interior. Wake up with hearty fare and good food. Read more

Try the Portobello Mushroom Burger - #20120918 ...with a side of Caesar salad . Vegetarian no meat all mushroom ! Marinated portobello , grilled asiago cheese on multigrain kaiser.

Michael Marranzini

I had the keto plate but honestly the whole menu looks great.

Mike Pinzas

Everything we tried was delicious, I had the mangled eggs and that garlic gave it a lot of flavor.

Eric Tigre

The Templeton's motto is "Quality Food, Snappy Service," but that's only partially correct. This Granville diner , a favorite haunt, has been discovered. Expect waits. They need to hire more staff . Read more

Stephanie Hobson

It’s not as busy for dinner as it is for breakfast and they serve breakfast all day! Mmmm breakfast for dinner .

Sarah Birtwisle

The eggs benny with veggie bacon and spinach was fab.

The tofu scramble is delicious. Dish comes with toast w/ vegan butter.

I get the Portabello Mushroom burger - for meatless days, this makes you forget about meat easily!

Kevin Heim

The tofu scramble is amazing; I you're a veg (or even if you're not), make sure to try it out!

Nathan Wright

Get the blueberry pancakes with a shot of real maple syrup for an extra dollar.

Gabriella Schmidt

Good food and fun decor with a jukebox at each table.

Tina Belcher

That stuffed croissant is awesome

Eryne Ordel

Mangled eggs are outstanding. The staff are great and you can leave your name and grab a coffee quick!

Malcolm Hudson

I love the food at Templeton. Come and try it.

Van S

Went in on a Saturday and it was packed. Took around 30 minutes to be seated and almost the same time to get our food. The staff are nice but the kitchen is just so slow. Weekdays might be better

Lane Collins

Try the chicken burger with cheddar and grilled mushrooms & onions . 😋

Bogdan Klimowicz

Try the The World’s Best $5.00 Milkshake - #20120918 It is the best and that’s no pulp fiction...

Greg Lexiphanic

Much of the interior, decor, furnishings date back to the 50s. Worth checking out.

Nic Waller

Vegan ? Get the lentil loaf or vegan chile.

Michelle Connochie

Big breakfast portions

Sheryl

Great vegan and vegetarian options !

Raed Kakish

Try the Cesar drink for a good hangover cure

Try the BLT - Best with a Caesar salad , they make their own dressing ...

C X

Excellent food and service. Worth the wait.

Chris R (thechristophe)

Historic place, with plenty of vegetarian options . But my omelette was super bland and nothing to write home about.

Kim

Great coffee . Food is also good.

Hannah Zachritz

Vegetarian stuff

Anna

The fish and chips are good but the tiki burger is way better!

You gotta love a place with Marvell comics lacquered into the tables.

Austin Neaves

Try the Blueberry Banana Pancakes

Rob Loree

This is the best place for breakfast in downtown Vancouver. Often a 10 min wait, but totaly worth it.

Matthew Standerfer

Smoked salmon omelette for the win.

I absolutely loved it. It's a fun way to spend few hours in the nature. Beside the bridge there are few other activities you can do such as the tree top walk and cliff one. Strongly recommend it - Michael Rizzato
