Hi y'all,

I'm looking for a place where a jazzy old couple can go for a special birthday brunch in East Van or BBY. Any suggestions? All my faves will be full of hipsters (not that I am one) and probably too hole-in-the-wall for a couple in their 70's ; )

Hey I wanted to know the same thing this morning..
I'm going to try the Waffle House in New West.

Go check out the sweetest lady at our hole in the wall in Burnaby: yelp.ca/biz/pauls-sub-sh…  It is pretty quiet but you get heaps of food.  It's not fast, either, but worth the wait.

Actually, I'm also thinking to go to De Dutch Pannkoeok house.

Jiffy Wiffy Waffle! It had to be said Reena.

If you're looking for something along East Hastings/Burnaby Heights, the Slocan restaurant is pretty good - and senior-friendly. yelp.ca/biz/slocan-famil…

And Dockers Diner always smells sooo good: yelp.ca/biz/dockers-dine…

I like the Wallflower and The Orange Room (which is in New West, right by the Waffle House).

Habit.  (beside Cascade) they now serve brunch.  see families and older ppl here for breakfast/brunch.

Hey De Dutch was actually not so bad... It's different. But, yes, still a chain. Although this little dinner in particular (on Hastings and Sperling) had some character to it.

I know it is not technically East Van, but for a special brunch, what about Seasons in the Park. View spectacular, food very tasty.

You guys are awesome. Seasons in the Park would probably the best for a fancy birthday... thanks all for the fabulous ideas!!

I love the Brunch at Crave on Main Street.
