HOT PICKS [FRIDAY]

Fries with That?

November 2, 2007

After a while, all those Yaletown-y chic restaurants with their minimalist décor start to look the same. Combine that with the fact they generally charge full-meal prices for tapas-sized plates, and soon you’ll be yearning for a good old-fashioned diner offering all-day brekky and bottomless coffee. Look no further. The Smile Restaurant satisfies your greasiest needs while you relax at one of the massive booths covered in green vinyl, a classic seat at the counter, or the best spot in the place: the tiny table for two right in the window. The menu offers all your breakfast favourites, Chinese dishes, plus tried-and-true comfort foods like open-face chicken sandwiches smothered in gravy. Your taste buds - if not your heart - will thank you for choosing one of the last authentic greasy spoons this city has to offer.

Where: 424 West Pender Street (at Richards).
Hours: Mon - Sat, 8 a.m.- 8 p.m. Sundays and holidays 8 a.m.-7 p.m.
