Open short hours but worth the visit. Great food with some gluten free and vegan options. Reasonably priced. Really good service with helpful attentive staff
Delicious! I'm the only GF person in my family but I chose this restaurant for Mother's Day brunch bases on reviews. It's a long way to go from Cloverdale but totally worth it! I had the lovers GF waffle, my youngest had the vegan waffle with peanut butter, berries and bananas, my oldest had a cheeseburger and my husband had an egg dish. Everyone loved their meal and wants to go back again. They could do with more seating and prices were a little high but that comes with the specialized ingredients.

Located at the very foot of Victoria Drive near Powell Street, we arrived Saturday morning at around 10:30 and were able to get a table right away. Our intention was to order whatever sounded most Scandanavian but my love of chicken and waffles got the best of me. So not exactly Viking chow but this was really very good. I always tend to grumble about waffles as being too doughy or thick or not crispy enough but these were actually pretty good. Evidently, they are "Brussels" or "Belgian" waffles and are light because there is some leavening involved. The chicken was also nicely done. It was a piece of white meat butterflied and remained moist (white meat can get dry) and tender. I assumed brined but they said no! Just very carefully fried evidently. Now, this seems more like something my Icelandic relatives would approve of! Smorrebrød with Salmon was served with a thin slice of house-made sourdough bread, smoked salmon (obviously), cucumber. capers, lemon, mayo, red onion and dill. Delightful! Just so you know, it took me a while to figure out how to type the o with a slash through it! Finally, we had Liege waffles with 4 dips. These waffles were a little sweeter owing to pearls of sugar within the dough. The dips were chocolate, whipped cream, a ginger chocolate kind of thing, which was excellent and a strawberry concoction which was also very tasty and fruity. Scandilicious has seating for probably a couple of dozen people inside (fewer at the moment) as well as tables outside. Service is friendly and at least partly Scandanavian. I honestly didn't know that John Catucci had gotten here before us but I can see why he dropped in. I guess you really do 'gotta eat here.'
I love this place; however, you truly have to time the time to go because it can get packed. The staff really know the menu and can help you choose from some of the great dishes.
I have always gone there for the waffles and after you’ve had one you will never go back. The first one I tried was the soul mate. It is the perfect marriage of chocolate, peanut butter and Nutella, topped with whipped cream. The flavours melt in your mouth and though it is so decadent you crave for more. The other one I’ve tried is monkeys munchies. It is a waffle that has bananas and peanut butter cooked inside with cookie dough, caramel a drizzle and whipped cream. You may think it’s an odd combo, but they work real well together.
I am planning on trying to savoury waffles, but one at a time and after you have a sweet one; it may take you months to recover before you return. However, it is a place you will keep returning to.

I love Scandinavian culture and food and I wanted to try this place for a while. Thankfully, I managed to do that today. While they had a good selection of savoury and sweet waffles, I wanted eggs. I ordered the Norsky which included kumle (Norwegian potato dumplings). Thinking it wasn't going to be enough, I asked if I can add toast to my order and they accommodated that request. Turns out they were generous with the kumle and gave me 4 large pieces. You'll definitely be full afterwards. The only thing I wish is that they had more selection for smørrebrød. Particularly ones without dill on it, for picky eaters like myself. They only had 2 kinds. I did see a glimpse of them and they looked great so if dill is your thing, order it for a Scandinavian experience.
Food is amazing and so different from other restaurants. Great service and nice staff! Family and including my young kids loved it! We will back! : )
Today’s post is a bit special and different, because it features Scandinavian brunch! Once you get in, you wait to get seated and then you order at the counter. I found the ordering process to be a bit slow, especially when it is a full house. It seemed like ‘slow’ was the theme of the restaurant, but whatever, we weren’t in a rush that day. Other reviews have mentioned that it is quite slow here too, so you have been warned. Hangover Helper: Finally, our food came! The boyfriend’s egg bennies came with ham, and green onions served on their signature waffle. He enjoyed his dish and in particular, he noted how delicious their Hollandaise sauce was.

This is a nice cafe/bakery located near the end of Victoria Drive, just a few blocks from Hasting Street. They are probably best known for their waffles, although they do also serve burgers, sandwiches and other breakfast/lunch items, as well as a small selection of baked goods. You order at the front counter, and the staff brings you your food once it's ready. During my visit, I had their Chicken and Waffles and Monkeys Munchies waffle. While I did find their chicken to be a bit sub par, their waffles are very tasty. Definitely a good breakfast/lunch joint that's worth paying a visit to.
Chicken and Waffles ($16):
3.5/5
This consisted of fried chicken that was served with a cornbread-style waffle, maple bacon, sour cream, and maple syrup. I wasn't the biggest fan of the fried chicken: although it was tender, there wasn't all that much meat present and it was not as crispy as I would have liked. I also found it to be a tad bland, although it was still enjoyable. I quite enjoyed the waffle, which was a bit crispier and chewier, and had a slightly savoury, spicy flavour to it.
Monkeys Munchies ($9):
4.5/5
This consisted of a Brussels waffle topped with peanut butter, cookie dough, bananas, whipped cream, peanut butter caramel sauce, and crushed peanuts. I absolutely loved this waffle: it had a perfect balance between salty from the peanut butter and sweet from the cookie dough, whipped cream, and bananas. The waffle had a great fluffiness and chew.
Summary:
Food: 4/5
Price: 4/5
Service: N/A
Overall: 4/5
Recommendations: Monkey's Munchies
Scandilicous was a pleasant find. We were looking for a brunch place to try and I happened to stumble upon this place in a quick search. Sign outside advertising their omelette of the day. They also have a dirt cheap sunrise special (7:00am to 9:00am on weekdays) for $5.99! If I ever woke up that early, I’d be all over that.
The waffles are tasty and the portions are big. We came here for Dine Out Vancouver 2018 and were pleased with the value for our money. More fresh fruit/veggies would have been appreciated to balance out the meals, but otherwise it was a good experience.
• hidden gem along Victoria drive
• street parking available
• opens at 0700
• try to limit your stay for an hour as it gets busy and place has limited seating capacity
• would be nice if they open a patio during summer
• fresh fruits on their waffles
• good serving size, to share if you're not a big eater
• Apple Pie waffle is delicious, its like eating an apple pie on a waffle. The crisp apples, caramel sauce and bountiful whipped cream + cinnamon hits the spot
• the Lover's was good too with fresh berries
• coffee is good!
• friendly servers; go order at the desk and they'll bring your food on your table
Not sweet enough, or maybe I was just craving more sugar after only 2 hours of sleep following a graveyard shift. Lots of spices and foam near the top, but it wasn’t very strong. Again… maybe because of the graveyard shift. Cost $4.50, and didn’t make me feel sick. Waffles were good too. I like it.
This place is becoming one of my two go-to brunch spots in the hood. Staff are friendly, food is consistently good, and coffee is strong! Usually order the basic breakfast but today I tried the chicken and waffles. Did not disappoint, but I would have preferred a crunchier waffle. Portion was so big I had to pack up half to take home.
Their patio is covered - It was pleasant despite the traffic along Powell.
UPDATE: We took home a pound of their in-house roasted espresso beans - delicious! Will go back to buy more soon!
Yum! Yum! Yum!
Good vibes with great waffles. It was my first time here so I talked to one of the staff and she suggested me to get the chicken & waffles. Did not regret! The chicken was crispy but juicy inside, kinda heavy on the batter but it added to the texture. If you like the sweet and savoury flavour combination, this is definitely a good item to order.
Great selection of savoury & sweet waffles, with breakfast & sandwiches available too. The waffles have a vegan option which I've been told are quite tasty.
I had the Valhalla savoury waffle: the spicy jam was very delicious paired with the rich crispy bacon bits & maple syrup.
The portion sizes were good & service was friendly. I only wish I left some space to try a sweet waffle!
I was told this place is a hidden gem known for amazing breakfast and lunch fare..and I couldn't describe it any better! I had the omelette of the Day - assortment of fresh veggies, ham, and mozzarella cheese - with bacon and toast - it was phenomenal! My wife ordered the Norsky with poached eggs - cooked perfectly, with nugget potatoes and bacon. Everything we ordered - including my cafe mocha was 10/10. Highly recommend this great place! we will be back for the waffles next time!
We were very excited to try this restaurant. We ordered the Chicken and Waffles and the MBJ burger. Food looked great but tasted even better. Ingredients tasted very fresh and high quality. Burger bun was amazing - apparently it was made in house from scratch too. Chicken was very tender. Highly recommend checking them out.
I was pleasantly surprised by this place! I was in the neighborhood the day before I tried it out, and then brought my partner there. She ordered Den Beste and I had thew Chicken and Waffles. They were both excellent. I enjoyed the coffee as well. As far as spacing out the restaurant and access to hand sanitizer, everything was all there and we felt safe eating there. Austin was our Server, he was great and took good care of us giving great recommendations on the menu!
Cute breakfast/lunch place. Often busy, but go in the afternoon to avoid the rush. Waffles are good and ready quick. Been several times lately and have been satisfied with the service and food everytime. There is a good variety on the menu for a brunch place: sweet waffles, savoury waffles, eggs, grilled sandwiches, etc. Very cozy decor.
Update: Have been very impressed with their COVID protocols and they've added big umbrellas to the door patio area. For take out, they've really thought packaging the food.
