Paul’s Place Omelettery
You’ll be jostling for space with strollers and chatty moms at this unassuming breakfast joint near the south side of Granville Bridge, but it’s worth it: this cozy place is far superior to most city bacon-and-egg spots. The menu is short and sweet, but it’s grounded on 12 signature omelets, including a chockablock vegetarian option that will make carnivores eye you jealously. It’s a great place to start the day before a wander down to Granville Island, but there’s also a lunch menu of house-made burgers and sandwiches.

Hoito Restaurant
You’ll think you’ve stumbled into a staff cafeteria in Finland – in fact, that’s how the Hoito started, providing affordable meals to Finnish bushworkers. This Thunder Bay institution serves breakfast until 7:30pm, and lunch starts at 10:45am – though you’ll probably just want to eat the notorious flattened pancakes around the clock. Don’t forget to wish the Hoito a happy birthday – the restaurant celebrated 100 years in 2010, though we don’t think it looks a day over 75…

Floyd's Diner
A funky eatery with an ultrafriendly vibe, Floyd's combines a sun-drenched patio, warming blood-red interior and a menu of serious comfort food - it's the spot to recover from a throbbing hangover. Along with the all-day breakfast menu (try the 'Elton', a heaping bowl of fruit, yogurt and honey), there are some bulging burgers and sandwiches and a great lunch deal: an around C$6 bottomless bowl of soup.

Nellie's Kitchen
Nellie's has long been a favorite place to start the day, catch up with friends and attempt to quell a hangover. Awesome big breakfasts, bottomless coffee and funky style are the hallmarks of this 17th Ave stalwart. Nellie's is a growing empire these days, but the original is still the best.

Chez Clo
Homey atmosphere and good-value Québécois breakfasts have made this corner diner an institution for the best part of two decades. Slide onto a breakfast stool and order eggs, bacon, baked beans and cretons (pork drippings) or return for Québec specialties such as tourtière (meat pie), poutine or ragoût de boulettes, all in view of the monumental Nativité de la Ste-Vierge church.

Demitasse
This art school-style hang-out is where local grunge geeks come to sup endless cups of coffee and compare their latest Value Village purchases. It's very laid-back, with high-ceilings and old wooden tables. The food is chunky, fresh and satisfying but never gets much further than great soups, wraps and sandwiches - simple, satisfying food done well: check out the banana bread French toast breakfast.

Café Croissant De Lune (Le)
This is people-watching central anytime, for breakfast, lunch or dinner. A café au lait and one or two of the fresh sweet buns or croissants, served in the sun on the street-front terrace, will hold you over for hours. The burgers and sandwiches are great too.

Diner
Around rickety tables, old-timers and deadbeats shoot the bull. Breakfasts and lunchtime burgers are greasy, but the flavor here is all in the patrons.
