A good quiet place for Breakfast. Tried the bit chocolate - was too good. Eggs wee food as well.
They have an Italian menu for lunch and dinner - looks good. Free wifi was a bonus !!
Just had a great Lox and Bagel for breakfast. Nice sized portions. Fresh fresh fresh salmon. So delicious.
The waiter was a sweetie from England, didn’t see his name but he was a delight anyhow. He brought me lots of hot decaf coffee and would go there again.
Went for breakfast and it was delish! Both of us had the Neptune Benedict and the eggs were cooked perfectly and the potatoes were stellar! Service was great too! They kept the coffee coming and despite us having a stroller, found a spot out of the way for us so our sleeping baby could keep sleeping and we could enjoy a meal!
Overall I would give a score of 3.5 to Bellagio Cafe.
My friend had a birthday brunch and breakfast with a bunch of friends and me around 1pm. We made a reservation as we had more than 10 people. It was great that we didn't have to wait for seats and we got seats once we had arrived.
Ambiance/atmosphere:
This cafe is like a big coffee shop that offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. The environment is quite causal and comfortable.
Service:
Our server treated us well and took great care of all of our orders and needs. He was friendly and polite and gave us a good impression. He would not rush us to leave the restaurant although we stayed a bit longer. We asked to order a piece of tiramisu with a candle because it was my friend's birthday. The server said unfortunately the restaurant did not have a candle. We said it was okay by just having the tiramisu. I would think that most restaurants should have some spare candles just in case someone wanted to celebrate his or her birthday there.
Food:
The food was really "so so" or okay. I ordered a dish of lobster roll with salad and fries. Among these three types of food in my dish, the fries tasted the best! It was hot, crispy and filling with potatoes. However, the portion of the salad was super tiny and had not much dressing and the main character of the dish that was the lobster roll did not give me any surprise! I had a really good lobster sandwiches at Joes Coquitlam in the past. This one at Bellagio Cafe had nothing special. The bun was good but the lobster inside the bun was "meh"....
Pricing:
The pricing is just like the one in other restaurants in downtown Vancouver. They are not too cheap or too expensive. But if I would have a choice to have brunch in downtown, I would probably go to Forage with better food and better quality.
Very nice downtown patio because at lunch it is sunny! Nice location it is an excellent place to have a good lunch with girlfriends or even alone before and after shopping! Pizza is good, breakfast is good and also the salads!
My favourite downtown patio for sure!
Great Food, nice ambience. I find the food there was excellent, I have tried many places in Vancouver, it is difficult to find good quality food these days that doesn't come out of the freezer like some so called high quality restaurants. Although I found a change in some of the dishes in the past couple of months, most of them are still good. I found the service wasn't bad at all, most of the servers have different ethnic backgrounds which is nice to see in the restaurant industry. Very attentive and friendly. The books are also interesting to look at. Im surprised more people don't go there, I guess it's a bit hidden!
Good place to have breakfast
Not at all bad, but........ I was pleasantly surprised as soon as we stepped foot inside Bellaggio Cafe. The decor was very nice indeed and it had a sort of eclectic atmosphere and took me back to movies of 1940's Europe. The coffee they serve is standard coffee and nothing to write home about. I was expecting something a little bit more special, something that fit the atmosphere. But it didn't. It was like the same coffee as I would expect from a Denny's or an IHOP.....but without the refills. At $3 a cup I thought that was pretty steep. The food.....I ordered the Bellaggio Full Breakfast. It was an okay dish I guess. The hash browns were very disappointing, lacking flavour and texture. The toast was almost nowhere to be seen. Bread is cheap guys, at least give 2 or 3 decent sized slices, it is a breakfast after all. The sausages were nice. The eggs and bacon were standard.
I would like to go back here, more for the ambience than the food. But if I would have to order food I'd get something else. Maybe try the fish and chips. Not overly impressed on my first visit but definitely willing to see what the next experience brings.
New Pre-Movie Spot. We wanted to stop for dinner somewhere before going to the nearby theatre for a mid-evening movie and I suggested this place because the other one on the waterfront was so good the last time mom and I went. So after a quick look at the outdoor display menu we went in. The street was too noisy at that time of day so we sat inside and it was much more pleasant. There was one surprise, however...
Red duct-tape on the banquettes? Someone needs to do a little remodeling! There was red tape on both seats. A little offputting but we thought we'd see if the food was better than appearances.
As it was before 6pm we decided to do more of a snacky dinner and went with sharing five appetizers. The prosciutto and goat cheese flatbread was okay, too much wilted arugula and not enough prosciutto, goat cheese or balsamic drizzle. The smoked salmon flatbread was delicious and will definitely be ordered again (with extra capers next time). I need to find crispy capers like that somewhere...The honey garlic wings were quite nice - good flavour, lots of sauce and properly cooked so they were still juicy. The calamari was great, with just the right amount of breading, flavour, and love the dip sauce. The prawns were nice, could have used a few more to go with the two delicious sauces because the prawns themselves were good too!
All in all, we will go back but I definitely suggest they do something about that tape...
Who says you can't get a good pizza in Vancouver?. Then they haven't been to Bellaggio Cafe.
Our daughter, is a sophomore at UBC. Our hotel concierge recommended this place.It was a nice walk from our hotel.
The three of us had a pleasant dining experience here. We all ordered individual pizzas. My wife had Margherita-pomodoro and mozzarella pizza with fresh basil, my daughter-Parma-prosciutto crudo topped with arugula and I went with the Baggio-olives, sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese,parmesan, garlic, fresh basil The toppings were plentiful, the crust tasty and the portions were generous.
The prices were reasonable and the service was attentive and friendly.
If you don't want pizza there are many pasta dishes as well as meat and fish.
While visiting Vancouver, a friend and I went to this cafe three times because it was so good (and a short distance from my hotel). The pastas and pizzas were spectacular and the tiramisu was amazing. Overall, we were extremely impressed and I would recommend this little spot to anyone looking for a tasty meal in downtown Vancouver.
Pizza is amazing! My second time here and I love it!!
Pleasant Monday morning brunch. On one of our "staycations" in downtown, we wandered past Bellagio this morning and being frugal travellers were enticed in by their $9.99 breakfast special. We were not disappointed. The service was prompt and courteous, the food was hot and tasty and the coffee sealed the deal-hot and flavourful. I chose sausage and poached eggs, my wife chose bacon and sunny side. The sausages were meaty and very lean, the poached eggs had just a hint of vinegar from the water they were in, just the way I like them. We swapped 2 slices of bacon for 1 sausage so I got to sample the bacon as well, done just to the firm stage (not breakable crispy) perfect.
The only reason we wouldn't go back to Bellagio is because there are so many places downtown that we have yet to try.
Breakfast is good here but be fair warned, it is crazy over priced. $50+ for 2 people is outrageous.
Scrumptious Pizza. I had this superb pizza called Baggio at Bellaggio Cafe and it's to die for - great value and absolutely yummy! Will go back again for sure :)
Excellent. It was a cold winter evening, me and my friends decided to find a place to have a dinner. On the corner of Robson and Hornby we found Bellaggio Cafe. First thing that impressed us was a really warm atmosphere inside the restaurant. We ordered Veal Scallopini, pizza and some salads. Food was absolutely delicious. Service was on a very high level, our server was fast and very nice. We enjoyed our time in Bellaggio Cafe.
Pricey, but the Baggio pizza I had there was quite delicious. I liked how the crust was thin and not super greasy like most pizzas. The goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and olives were an exquisite combination!
Not a place I would readily come back to however, as the prices compared to the portion isn't worth it to me personally, but overall great food, atmosphere and service :)
Best Pizza. Me and my boyfriend always come in for the bagio pizza. We love it!
Very friendly. We dropped by and found the place to be very kid friendly and the service to be excellent.
Who knew?. Was walking from the seaplane terminal with a friend. Turned the corner, and found this place.
We decided to sit for a mimosa and breakfast, and were pleasantly surprised. The frittatas are huge, filling, and delicious. And the breakfast potatoes were tasty, but not greasy like a typical breakfast potato. With a sunny patio, mimosas, and coffee, this is a great choice of breakfast spot!
Good experience. We ate at the Bellaggio our last night in Vancouver. We were greeted promptly, seated and served in the same manor. Our server was very personable and our food was very good. Our pizza was impressive and very tasty. It was reasonably priced and our server didn't hover, however he was prompt in taking care of our needs and the ambiance is great!
This place is ok. Decent selection of pizzas. Chewy crust, not crisp, which I assume some like. Wine by glass slecwtion not great.
Food was alright, serving sometimes lacking attention and inspiration. I was there today with my wife for a lunch. It wasn't full when we arrived but the waitress wasn't inspired and served us a bit with less verve than expected. It could have been a bad day for her as I know from my wife that she was served well and I saw other waitresses paying more attention today. The food was quite good (pizzas, huge salads and cannelloni) - so I would recommend it this time and will try it again.
Fun Environment. Breakfast until 2:00 PM, fire burning grill pizzas and large portions of pasta, what's not to like? The patio looks inviting too, we'll be back in summer for lunch..
Enjoyable! Te staff are friendly, food is tasty and the spot is comfortable and welcoming. Simple selection of wines, no attitude and a feeling that makes you want to come back!
When you work irregular hours it is sometimes hard to find a nice sit down restaurant open during the time between lunch and dinner. Today we found such a place. This wasn’t our first choice, but wanting to bypass the lines of its neighbours we directed our attention here. Good thing, as I think that what we had for how much we paid was better than the coffee and pastry we were originally aiming for. We approached the hostess booth manned by two young women, one of which assumed the role of our server. We confirmed that lunch would be a speedy affair and sought a seat by the window, giving us the patio and sidewalk as our view. Great location, but it’s out of the way proximity meant we struggled to get service. Waving hands for refills and attempting uninterrupted eye contact to get the bill. The days were getting colder and the handsome patio out front was left unseated. Chairs with light wooden limbs and black faux leather cushions looked as comfy as anything available to us indoors. The large red umbrellas with their logo kept sun or rain out of the way, though the latter was more prevalent these days. The umbrellas were the only things that differentiated this patio from the other adjacent two. Inside, the room was cozy and warm. The accumulation of curiosities gave the space character. And the every day wear of fixtures gave aways its age. An antique globe on a weathered cabinet, a book shelf of tattered encyclopedia volumes by the washroom, and a bust in stone smirking proudly on the counter. The restaurant was ready for winter with a trimmed pine tree, a lit garland, and hanging sequinned ornaments. They helped to make the rest of the room festive and more homey. There was ample seating during the 1:30pm lull. Still in time for a late breakfast, and not yet time for happy hour. In the corner was their bar. A space set up to serve both gourmet coffees and specialty cocktails. Milk steamers and jiggers side by side. Shelves dedicated to teas leaves and coffee b
Overall, brunch was tasty - decor was tacky and awkward though
Random wall of Avatar, TVs airing business related talkshows, large books stacked everywhere, italian outside of the house balcony look on the other side.
Gorgeous cafe with really artistic/cozy vibe! Our server was extremely friendly and warm. The food was delicious and this place is well located/ right by the art gallery. We ate breakfast items but they also serve lunch and dinner. The yolks of the eggs were super rich- deep yellow! Food seemed to be of very good quality. Would definitely go again!
Just came for a quick snack. Got the lavender London fog, bread sharing dish and truffle fries. All were amazing.
The restaurant is cozy and servers are nice.
Nice and easy selection right next to Vancouver Art Gallery. They have good selection of Italian foods, breakfast menu items. Definitely seems a bit touristy so you might need to expect some travellers here, but the food was very good. It felt like a place where they give you exactly what you expected and the quality exceeds your exception by a little bit. Will visit here again for breakfast next time.
Very cozy and nice Restaurant. Loved the calm atmosphere, the waiter was very nice and the food amazing. We went for breakfast and had the avocado toast, eggs benedict and the french toast (must try!) They do offer cappuccino with oatmilk and it's delicious.
I really like this place but the menu can be much better. As I am graphic designer, I observe that dark brown color paper on the black text is really hard to read. You need to include dessert to your menu. Your customer needs to see that.
Elegance and comfort, this restaurant has it all! The avocado toast with farm-fresh eggs and arugula was delightful. The service was great too.
