Maxine's Cafe & Bar

This place deserves the hype/high rating. Can confirm the food was really good and the service even better.

We had brunch here and the food quality and quantity were excellent. Initially I was wary of the higher price range for an average brunch but it was well worth it. The OJ was actually freshly squeezed, and even the basics like the house baked goods and fries were delicious.

10/10 would return.

Maxine's is a restaurant in Vancouver that has great vibes and a really cool atmosphere. Parking around here can be tough so be ready to walk a bit. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful with choosing your meal. The food is delicious, lots of flavor and decent portion sizes although the prices are pretty high. But you pay for the experience and the service on top of just the food. This spot is great for date nights especially. It's got a few dozen tables inside, some outside and a bar area as well. I'd recommend making reservations as they get pretty busy, especially around the weekend. Beets and burrata is pretty solid, and their steak is cooked wonderfully. Kid friendly as well which is always a plus.

Very cozy dining space, a lot of details have been put in the place. There are indoors and outdoors seating. Outdoors seating on the side is a bit more sheltered from Burrard St traffic noise but they’ve also done a great job covering the Burrard St outdoor area to make it more private.

Food wise as other reviewers mentioned, the dutch baby and brioche french toast are the best food options. The others are ok tasting but not stand out or unique

Everyone was happy, the portions seemed small, but everyone was full by the end. The best bang for your buck is probably the Dutch baby though.
We got the French toast to share and it was delicious, I love when French toast doesn’t need the syrup to be perfect.
If you want to get seated fast make sure you get here before 10:30, if you show up around 11, you will be in a fairly sized line up.

Very cute place! The brunch line wasn’t long at all. All the staff were very nice and we even had 2 waitresses who were very attentive.

We got the steak and eggs, two lattes and the west end. All were delicious! The jam was amazing and would come back just for that. The aesthetic of the place is very on point.
