We managed to visit Cafe medina when visiting vancouver to see family last year. I waned something hearty, warmy and cosy. Cafe Medina is just that and the food is executed perfectly. Plus, I the coffee is delish! Visited here for lunch and had the Tagine breakfast plate. Served in a terracotta bowl with two soft poached eggs and the... More

I came here with my boyfriend a while back for brunch because it was so highly raved about. We went around 12pm and as expected, there was a line. No biggie - we put down our name and walked around... we came back an hour later and the line was STILL long and our names were still very far down... More

Took a day trip to Vancouver with friends from Washington and had lunch here. Great Vibe, great food, great service, excellent coffee, Love Vancouver!

Arrived at 11am on weekday. Front room was already full so were ushered to the back where there was still space. Clientele mostly media types sporting asymmetric haircuts and facial hair so we stuck out a bit as a family; but were made to feel welcome nonetheless. Great selection of egg based breakfasts covering different mediterranean countries. Went for the... More

We got there about an hour after it opened and we had to wait for about 30mins. Once we were inside, it was great. The tables are jammed pack together - I felt like I was in London. I wouldn't have minded the closeness if the lady next to me wasn't coughing every 3 minutes! The food was fantastic -... More

Tables of 2 are so close together, when I want to and when appropriate, I actually chat up with my neighbouring diners. Yesterday I had a fabulous... More

After what seemed like a millennia since getting together with my girlfriends, we all met one Sunday morning at Cafe Medina for a good brunch and a much needed catching up session. I was a little wary when I left our secret location. I have heard about Cafe Medina's long lines. Normally when tackling a restaurant that has epic waits... More

Worth the 45min wait for weekend breakfast. I had a difficult time choosing between the different breakfast options- all of which seemed a little unusual. Settled on the spicy lamb meatballs in tomato sauce with poached eggs. The flavors were amazing and I certainly didn't need to eat lunch after that breakfast. My husband had the beef shortribs griddle with... More

Came to Medina for brunch. The food here was really good. I had a skillet and enjoyed every bit of it. The thick cut bacon was my favorite. Actually thats not true, I enjoyed the entire meal A LOT.
