I've ordered from here twice now, and both times the food has been precisely what I needed to brighten my day.
Chez Meme Bistro is a charming little French bistro that served breakfast and lunch.
We ordered the Ratatouille and Beef Short-Ribs baguettes. They were toasted to perfection. The filling was plenty in both baguettes and it did not fall out when you pick it up to eat it. We also ordered the daily soup (cream of mushroom).
Overall, the menu highlights the flavour of the ingredients, rather than a focus on unusual spice combinations - not fussy and pretentious.
We would recommend everyone to try this little gem!
It was our first time here. There were some good and bad reviews here. We always drove by this French restaurant. We finally gave it a try.
There is a lot of street parking in Burnaby or East Hastings, so no worries about looking for a parking spot.
The restaurant was small with two or three servers. The service was quick slow. We had been seated but we waited for a while before we got a menu. A server told us what was good here, so we ordered a dish of Espagnol and chive omelettes. Espagnol omelette was good or okay but the chive one was not. The coffee was just a cup of coffee. Nothing was special about it. We were kind of disappointing on the quality of food. We could have better brunch somewhere else.
We just paid and left the restaurant after we finished the breakfast.
My budget-conscious friend decided to try Chez Mémé Baguette Bistro despite usually ending up at Red Robin for one of their two-for-one burger specials. Chez Mémé has an extraordinary near-perfect score on Zomato, which usually scores tougher than Yelp. Overall items were not very salty, so if you're used to that you might even think they are not salty enough. Baguettes / come with your choice of fries, salad, or daily soup. Daily soup can come warm or piping hot and no matter the weather I suggest you get it hot because as you work through your meal it's going to get cold.
• 2 hour free street parking
• located along Hasting St (Burnaby side)
• short wait if you come before 0830
• attentive, fast & efficient servers
• food came in fast, same time as my friends; served hot
• I had the Espagnol which is an omelette with chorizo & bell peppers + coffee $15.50. It came with roasted potatoes, perfectly seasoned & crisp! The piece of baguette was I think freshly baked and was yummy!
• I had a bite of the Willy, the cheese was awesome!
• It's a good, quiet, nice place for brekkie
Get here early it's almost always got a wait list! I personally love their omelettes, the Espagnol and Forestiere are my favourites. Staff are friendly and welcoming, prices are also very reasonable. One of the best places for breakfast and lunch in the neighbourhood!
Super welcoming and friendly but service can be a bit slow due to how busy they are. Arrived at 12pm and it was a full house. We were told that it would be a 20 minute wait, but we ended up having to wait for only 10 minutes. I ordered the Forestiere omelette and my boyfriend got the Jarette sandwich. The food was amazing and really filling! I felt like I was back in Paris. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!
Chez Meme Baguette Bistro is located on Hastings Street in North Burnaby.
We are happy that we finally have lunch at this place. It would be nice if they open on the weekend. We got greeted when we walked in.
It has tiny place, but the atmosphere and services are great.
Services: 5/5

Love it here! They have really good sandwiches and soups. It's a really tiny place so you will need to wait a bit. Service is amazing but slow as usually there is only one server.
Service
- we were greeted promptly at the door
in french, waited for maybe 5 minutes for the table to clear up
- it took awhile for us to get our menu and to have our order taken but they were quite busy with one waitress and one bus girl
Ambiance
- Small and cozy restaurant
Food
- I ordered the bourguinon baguette sandwhich with fries and it was really tasty! Although I wish it would have a little bit more sauce in it.
- Friends ordered the willy, and omelette... i took a bite out of the willy and it was so cheesy! Loved it! I'll probably order that the next time I come back
One of the many gems in the Burnaby Heights corridor. Small place but really friendly and excellent food. We came for breakfast and fell in love with their freshly baked to order baguettes. We also had their French toast brioche which was tasty. The fresh brewed coffee was good too. We love supporting the local diners and we would definitely be happy to dine here again!
My buddy and I split the chorizo and the mushroom and racelette?!? (2orders) First of all, the very simple baguette was so good! The potatoes were simple, but good... I loved the chorizo... the mushrooms were very fragrant, but I weirdly enough, the flavour didn’t jump out. Enjoyed it, if I lived in the area, I’d come back
Best breakfast my nephew and I had in a while, amazing flavours and the staff is great too. Totally recommend this French bistro.
My Aunty treated my youngest son and I to breakfast. She had never been here and looked up at the reviews. She was right to come here. They have a limited menu, it's either baguettes, omlettes, and other items.
My son and I enjoyed the Brioche French Toast so moorish and yum. Presented so nicely. You can get real "maple syrup" for an extra dollar. The lattes came in huge mugs! Everything was nice. My aunt enjoyed her mushroom omlette, with fried potatoes and a baguette. Very friendly owner serving us. Steady amount of people coming in. We weren't rushed as we were talking and eating.
This place has the best French onion soup in Vancouver! This is one of my favorite places for brunch. A lot of options for omelette and sandwiches. I ordered French onion soup and ham and brie baguette; the soup was amazing and the baguette was good! The service is a bit slow since usually there is only one server and it gets busy on the weekends.
