Paul's Omelettery

Top choice in Fairview & South Granville


You'll be jostling for space with chatty locals at this breakfast and lunch joint near the south side of Granville Bridge. But it's worth it: the cozy, super-friendly place is superior to most bacon-and-eggs destinations. The menu is grounded on signature omelets, while also offering excellent eggs Benedict and heaping 'lumberjack breakfasts.' Reservations are not accepted; arrive early on weekends.

It's not just about breakfast here; they also serve all-day lunches including salads, burgers and grilled cheese sandwiches. It's the perfect place to fuel up before exploring nearby Granville Island.
