Café S'il Vous Plâit *** 1/2
Never confuse Cafe S'il Vous Plait with your standard greasy spoon diner. Yes, yes, it has booths in classic '50s style, and yes they serve rollicking good shepherd's pie, mac-and-cheese and fabulous pies, but this is comfort food with a healthy spin.

Deluxe Moderne Burger (Garber review) ****
If fifties-era diners still have a place in our world, you will likely only find them reincarnated with any degree of authenticity in very few places. One of these exceptions-to-the-rule is Deluxe Moderne Burger in Vancouver's Kitsilano.

Sophie's Cosmic Café ***
We've always had a soft spot in our hearts for Sophie's -- not just because we've known Sophie herself for ages -- but because of the consistency of good, home-style cooking and that funky Kitsilano atmosphere.

Waffle House (Garber mini-review) ****
This cosy family-run (and family-oriented) place is a discovery I owe to my "Good Samaritan" friend, Don Sherwin, who goes there for breakfast almost daily.
