This cafe is always booked but we managed to book a table today! The atmosphere itself is very lively and welcoming, and service is fast too. Their main plates are good, nothing too special, but what stands out are their waffles! The waffles are so fresh and taste perfect alone. You also have the choice of adding toppings for $1.50, which I think is worth it. The mixed berry compote and the milk chocolate lavender pair so nice with the waffles, but I'm sure any of the other toppings are just as tasty :)

A popular brunch place for good reason. We came here on a Monday at 9:45 ish for 2 and the inside tables were already full. Luckily the weather was good and we got a spot at the patio. The food is spectacular to get you a well balanced meal. I loved my paella, loads of flavor and veggies to start off my day! The waffle was also very soft and not overly sweet so you can choose how much sauce you'd like to dip for yourself. The service was really great too, prompt and friendly and the entire staff considerate all around. Well deserved popularity and I'd love to try more of their menu if I get the chance!

Very nice brunch place near Vancouver downtown. Need reservations to get table at this place. Servers were very good and service was quick. Many good options for the main course dishes with good portion sizes. Many dishes could be made vegetarian. Coffee was good too. Ordered waffle for dessert and they had many options for toppings.

Excellent service. Great food with fresh ingredients! Lots of great options for vegetarians since they can make most of their dishes without meat. Loved the salted caramel latte and the lavender latte was a fun twist. Clean baby change station in bathroom.

My go-to brunch spot every time I pass by Vancouver!
There was a short wait to get in when we arrived 5 min before opening, but we managed to get a table for 2 without reservations on Easter Monday.
The Fricassé was to die for, the braised ribs fork tender (and who doesn’t want to eat out of a skillet?)
We also shared a couple of their famous waffles, the passion fruit curd came highly recommended by our waitress. It was so good that we ended up getting more waffles because we didn’t want to waste it.

We went for a late lunch so we did not have to wait to be seated. The menu is on the high price side, the staffs were not very friendly and quite pushy. We felt like we were rushed out of our table. The food is great though with many choices of brunch and breakfast. Happy hour deal 9-11am with mimosa at reduced price.

Great spot to grab brunch. The food was delicious, the staff were very kind and provided great service. Reserving a table in advance is recommended, as it can get quite busy, especially during tourist season.

Walked in at 2pm on a Friday - no wait! Enjoyed the frittata of the day, a waffle with berries and a cappuccino. The food was delicious and the staff is so friendly and professional! I’d definitely come back on my next visit to Vancouver.

First time here. Celebrating my sons engagement to his beautiful lady! I had a coffee latte to start. Followed by the waffles. Yum! Yum!. You must try them people! For my brunch I order the Fricassee that was to-die-for! Champagne rounded out the meal. I HIGHLY recommend this place. A line-up to get in but heh....good things are worth waiting for! The atmosphere was upbeat and lively. Our server was top notch. A very happening place indeed!

Absolutely incredible experience! The wait is always so long here but I promise you it is absolutely worth it. The coffee is excellent, the waffles are decadent and delicious, and every item on their food menu is incredible. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!

A five-star experience! We arrived at Medina at 10:45 and didn't mind waiting an hour for a table, luckily the cafe is in an exciting part of town so we shopped for an hour. The service, the food and especially the Fez cocktail were all great. The cassoulet was excellent, the beans were done perfectly and the chorizo was nice and spicy. We saved room for waffles and they were delicious, I highly recommend the salted caramel. I will definitely be coming back!

I would say the best pork belly and egg sandwich and a waffle for dessert. The wait for 25 minutes was worth it.

I would recommend the salmon lume toast with egg on top and watercress salad! Also the bar tender was very friendly and recommended some cool hikes near the city:) thank you

I would likely give 4.5+ stars for food, coffee and the staff! Don’t come in hungry as the waiting time I had was almost 2 hours but it’s quite worth it overall. :)

We had the most incredible, private dinner event at Medina Cafe. The owner and our host, Robbie Kane made it so enjoyable. The food, wine and atmosphere was perfect. We will forever remember this occasion and we highly recommend Medina Cafe. This dinner was part of a charity donation that Robbie and his team contributed to; thank you for such a memorable and spectacular dinner.

Absolutely lively place with great food. Ordered the waffles with ice cream and white chocolate and it was amazing. The Cassoulet was also lovely with flavours meshing well together. It definitely warrants a second visit!

I bring everybody that visits me here; from my mother to my friends from Mexico, everybody loved it. I would rate this place 6☆ if I were able to.

Our brunches delicious! Staff were friendly and efficient. Our food was served piping hot and beautifully presented! It was busy but we were seated right away. There was a steady line at the door but people moved along fairly quickly. First visit and will be back!

Medina Cafe was incredible. Amazing coffee and even better food. We came from Australia for a holiday in Vancouver and both my partner and i have rated this one of our favourite meals we have ever had. I already can't wait to come back!
Janice Kosteniuk
I loved my meal at Medina. Service was excellent and the food was so delicious. Fresh and unique meals, but of course the best part was the waffle.. it's worth the wait.
Stacy Diana
The service here is OUTSTANDING! The host staff remembered our names, the bartender recommended us some upcoming drink items to try, and the server helped us get a taste of the delicious (sold out) waffle. We came back here twice in one day, because we liked it so much! The food and drinks were excellent, as well, but I'm sure the other reviews will tell you all about that. They definitely deserve the "best brunch" title they earned this year.
