Blue Parrot — Restaurant in Vancouver

This is a classic food stop at Granville Island that doesn’t try to be anything more than it is. It serves basic breakfast and sandwich options for affordable prices and if you can find a table, gives you one of the best views in the city.

While you probably won’t write home about any of their dishes, they do everything well and the portions are just right. My wife had the omelette wrap and I had the bagels with lox and both were fresh, not too heavy and prepared quickly. My bagel and lox had a ton of capers and both dishes came with a good handful of pickles, which were a nice little addition.

Because we went close to opening, I think it was the first time I actually found a seat, so we had a beautiful view of the Burrard St bridge and False Creek.

Usually over time coffee shops coffee can vary in quality but we have found Blue Parrots is consistent in being a quality...

There are plenty of choices inside the Market building on Granville Island. In cold weather, no one wants to sit outside. So finding seats and a table at noon - even on a cold Wednesday - is the real challenge. Once we got a table, I checked the menu of the place we had ended up. The Blue Parrot has quite an extensive menu and an all day breakfast. Our choices are pictured here. I think they do the right thing by putting on a significant amount of smoked salmon so that the bagel itself is not visible. I liked the addition of the slices of dill pickle which came as a surprise. The bill came to $28.67 - which I thought was reasonable. Bonus for me was that they gave us real glasses we could fill from the nearby fountain at no charge. So many other places charge too much for...
