Bon's Off Broadway

You've just got to love this place.

While on the outside Bon's may appear to be yet another cheapie brunch joint, it is truly in a class of its own. Maybe it's the dorm room-like décor, with its scores of cheesy movie posters and pop star album covers plastered all over the bright yellow walls. Perhaps it's the dude clad in security guard accoutrements who is not actually an employee but fancies spending his mornings wandering from table to table, filling coffees cups and kissing ladies. Or maybe it's the grouchy old lady who is definitely hard of hearing and looks like she's worked there for over half a century, but with a little bit of coaxing will go out of her way to grab you a new fork from the kitchen.

While a decently strong argument could be made for any of these hypotheses, it's the ridiculously low prices that cement Bon's as the best place in Vancouver to grab breakfast and a coffee. There's no way that you could show me another restaurant in town where five dollars will get you a bottomless cup of coffee, two eggs, sausage/bacon or ham, toast & hashbrowns with enough left over to leave a 20% tip.

All in all, a trip to Bon's makes for an incredible day off. The rest of the day was just icing on the top of a very large, very greasy, very cheap breakfast. Alleluia.
