Cafe Portrait

This really cool cafe is located down on Denman which is close to English Bay. This was a cafe that my daughter suggested that we had to check out. Inside there is a bunch of art on the walls that you can purchase, the prices range from $600-$7500. All the paintings are done by local Vancouver artists. Each of their plates of food are named after an artist and designed like art.

The Drinks

After looking over the menu and their drinks that they have to offer we decided on a couple warm drinks.

I ordered the Latte for $5.15 and it was really good. They use Agro Nocturnal beans which was really good. 

My wife ordered the London Fog for $5.25 which she said was really good, it was not overly sweet. They used Ahamad Tea which we had never heard of, so it was nice to try.

My daughter ordered a Hot Chocolate for $4.80 and she said it was creamy and really good. It had a delicious chocolate flavour.

The Food

After reading all the food items we decided on a couple food items.

Both my wife and I ordered the Miro Benedict for $16.80 each. It was really good, we wished that it had a little more hollandaise. We both wished that the eggs were a little more soft since they were more medium. The fruit was delicious and the ham was really good with the hollandaise.

My daughter ordered the Munch Shakshuka for $16.35, she said it was good. She wished they gave more toast to eat with the veggies. It had really great flavour and the runny egg mixed well with the veggies. 

We also ordered a Brioche Praline Bun for $4.65, we just wanted to try it. It was delicious, the raspberry cream was amazing. It was light and we would definitely have it again.

The Service

The staff were very friendly and there were lots of people. Our server (Brian) was his first day and he did an amazing job. It was great talking with him about all the food items.

Last Words

We would for sure come back to this amazing cafe. There were so many more food items that we would still want to try. Plus sitting on the patio it was great being able to people watch down the street.
