You know that scene in the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" when Frank Poole is in the spacesuit at the end of the movie and is going into the black hole monolith thing, and sees the space baby that gives him enlightenment into the next dimension?
Yeah, imagine you are Frank Poole, you are actually there, and the space baby that brings you to a higher plane of existence is breakfast.
Yes. Breakfast.
But not just any breakfast. The breakfast nirvana that awaits you is Scoozi's at Howe and West Hastings. This is run by a Greek guy who takes breakfast to epic places.
I ordered the breakfast pizza which is one of those things that looks good on paper but never works out. In Scoozi's world (actually his name is Michael) a breakfast pizza is a home run freaking perfect little guy that has all breakfast ingredients but with a spinach based sauce and a tiny bit of char on the crust and top and is the opposite of greasy and heavy.
Pardee ordered a salmon Benedict which is usually either really good or really bad, but this one was neither. It was hands down the best Benedict I have ever tasted, with a hollandaise that was more of an aoli, sushi grade salmon, and eggs that were timed down to the second. With the Benedict was charred and herbed lemon potatoes (naturally) that were so good that I haven't a hope in hell of replicating them, and a beautiful tiny fruit plate that looked like it took twenty minutes to put together.
We finished with a spanikopita deconstruction with a filling of apples, oatmeal, and marscapone (I think) which, like that hot girl with the funny laugh you pick up in the bar, sounds so wrong but tastes so right.
I always brag that the mark of a good breakfast is one that's better than mine; not only was this better than mine it's better than I could *ever hope* to make. The unbelievable skill shown in the food is what prompted me to write this review, and I hope this guy makes millions of dollars and never leaves this location. My last request on my deathbed will be breakfast from Scoozi's.
Breakfast is the Space Baby.
FABULOUS food and great price! The service was top notch and would highly recommend heading here for brunch, lunch and dinner!
Hello hello! Nat and I decided to go to Scoozis for brunch on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Scoozis is located on Howe street close to Waterfront station. It has a mom and pop type feel and has been around for years! You could really tell when you walk through the door how much of a family everyone who works there are and they treat you like family too!

This is a casual Mediterranean joint located near the Waterfront serving up a pretty large menu of breakfast and lunch items. I had their Meatballs and Alfredo Deep Dish (it was a tossup between their lasagna and their deep dish; I decided to get their deep dish since it's more unique). While I wasn't overly impressed with the deep dish, I quite enjoyed their meatballs. I'm also quite impressed by their service: the food arrives quickly and there is a very friendly gentleman (whom I think is the owner) who greets all the owners. All in all, this is a place that I'd recommend checking out.
1/2 Dozen Meatballs ($11.95):
4/5
This came with tzatziki, warmed pita, and some greens. The meatballs themselves were quite tender and relatively juicy, and was well-seasoned with just a slight bit of spice. I absolutely loved the pita bread, which was warm, fluffy, and had a slightly chewy texture. There was a generous amount of tzatziki, which was thick and quite tangy, and went well with the meatballs and bread.
Alfredo Deep Dish ($17.95):
3/5
This was basically a casserole that's filled with vegetables (tomatoes, artichokes, zucchini, spinach), ham, cheese and other stuff that I can't really discern. The vegetables were pretty well-seasoned and flavourful, and I really enjoyed the cheese, which provided great richness. I do wish that there could be more ham, and the dish was also a bit watery from all the vegetables.
Summary:
Food: 3.5/5
Price: 3.5/5
Service: 4/5
Overall: 3.5/5
Recommendations: Meatballs

Best eggs Benny ever. Hands down. Everything from their sauce to the egg, to the fruit garnish, to the English muffin was amazing.
And I'm writing this even though I had it 4 months ago. Great decor, lots of history and definitely gives a glimpse of what Vancouver might've felt like back then.
It's hard not to like this place. If you're looking for "family owned" authentic and old school, it doesn't get much better. The host is a trip. He's full of politically incorrect compliments for the ladies that only old dudes can get away with. The food is classic old school Greek. Nothing creative or de-constructed, just good old fashioned fare. Done with Care.
A great place for a satisfying lunch.
We'll definitely be coming back! Eggs Benny and the Deep Dish were great. Meet by friendly staff and didn't have long for a table. Great value.
Smoked Salmon Eggs Benny. This is heavenly!
Breakfast Right Now! Wow!!. Fast, friendly and great Eggs Benny......Two of us stopped in for a quick bite before a conference......Food was up real fast. Benny was good and the Holllandaise was superb. Milk for the Tea too.....Thoroughly recommend.
Came here with two friends for brunch. I ordered the salmon eggs Benny. It was a fairly decent eggs Benny but I had better. It came with a small fruit salad which had a variety of good fruit (none of that jam-packed with melon business) lots of berries, watermelon, and pomegranate. However what made this place memorable was the service. The owner was above and beyond kind and genuine and gave is a complimentary delicious phyllo oatmeal Apple pie pastry with maple syrup and honey and more fresh fruit. It was very good and his overall attitude was genuine. I would come back to try the lunch next time.
Best breakfast in Vancouver. Had the salmon eggs benny. divine! finished off with the cinnamon bun. service was amazing
A Little Sweet After Brunch. Baclava-Like Dessert Drizzled with Bc Honey. Amazing...a sweet treat .. For us on the house! I love love this restaurant
Stopped in for a quick dine-in lunch at the Curry Hut Indian Bistro and had a great experience. The lunch menu is priced right, healthy portions, and with very flavourful food. I had the lamb seekh kebab meal and was happy with how it turned out. Nice to have this as an option downtown now that folks are returning to work. Thanks for the great service and warm welcome as well!
This was the first time I had been to this new restaurant. The previous restaurant in the exact location was a hangout joint for my friends and me.
We went for lunch, and it was pleasant lunch. The prices were excellent. Manu was short and lunch focussed. I personally like that. All the dishes were under $14. Portions are huge. I was with my friend, and we both couldn’t finish our plates. I liked the taste, and it wasn’t too oily or heavy.
The only downside I saw was service. I think they should train their staff more. This is not a complaint more like a suggestion.
I would defiantly go back, and I would like to recommend this restaurant to you as well!
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND EAT HERE!!!
The service may be a little slow with the two young girls. But the food totally makes up for it! Try the Indian Chai tea! You will fall in love with this food! I want this restaurant to succeed!
The food here it's just delicious. My favorite was the Mango Chicken. The naan bread soo good. Also order Tandori chicken and lamb vindaloo. Everything was so flavorful. The services was also great the waitress very nice and friendly and the music makes you want to go up and dance
Loved the atmosphere and of course the food from here!! It's really nice to sit with all of those plants they have, especially when everything else you can see is concrete.
The food was beautiful and delicious and also really great that you can get breakfast all day. Definitely gonna be coming back here on my next trip over.
It's an absolute star. Scoozis is a cozy Resturant with tasty meals, fresh drinks , reasonable price and top of all of that, friendly staff that care a lot. Definitely, I will go there again.
We went to dinner on a Saturday night, the place was not busy. The service was great, the food was outstanding. The best I've had I would highly recommend this place if you want good Indian food. We had 6 dishes and every one of these was delicious. We had the rice pudding was was also great. If you are looking for good Indian food, this is the place.
