The aromas the greet you when you walk into Bino's Restaurant are those that warm the heart and entice the appetite. When my date suggested we have our first romantic meal at Bino's, I knew he was a keeper. The dim lighting in the restaurant creates an atmosphere that only speaks of the romance to come. On this enchanted evening, I opted for their Breakfast Special--choices of sausage or bacon, pancakes or toast and hashbrowns, and 2 eggs done any way you desire. The sausages that arrived on the platter were succulent--crisp, brown exterior yielding to moist and luscious ground pork. My eggs arrived Sunny-side up...soft, oozing yolks that were quickly mopped up with their toasted bread (generously spread with margarine). The hashbrowns were remarkably light--a delicious play on textures between the tender and crispy shreds of spud. Even my water was fresh and delicious, with the distinct aftertaste that can only be described as "tap". It left the lingering taste of minerals on my tongue. Satiated from our meal at Bino's, my date left a $10 bill with the cashier (he's a big spender!) and thus our enchanted evening came to an end.

Bino's Family Restaurant is a heritage site in Vancouver. It is like hallowed ground to me. My only regret is not finding out about this place sooner. I had never discovered this diamond in the rough of a restaurant until recently. And since then, I have never been satisfied with any other breakfasts, if it is not the all day breakfast special at Bino's.

Don't let their exterior fool you. As the old saying goes, never judge a book by its cover. What Bino's lacks in appearance with its ripped chairs and dim lighting, they make up for in their quality of food. The Bino's taste is unlike any other, flavourful that tickles your tastebuds just right, all the while satisfying and leaving you feeling delightfully full.

The service is also top notch. You will not find servers with more character than at Bino's! No request is too much or goes unanswered at Bino's! They treat you like royalty there.

It is the best restaurant in town, hands down. Go today and have YOUR very own Bino's experience!

U've ain't have a breakfast until u've tried Binos. I'm telling u...where will u find a 24hr $3.99 breakfast thatz filled with eggs, sausages, toast, hashbrowns AND hookers on the side. U may think seedy, but i kid u not this place is the bomb. Not even denny's big slam breakfast competes with this baby.

I've tried to find other Bino's but all the other establishments have closed down. What a shame!

I will never return to this establishment! The food looked ok, we didn't eat it because they screwed up my friends order and when they relized this (she pointed it out) They took her dish in back and after brining 3 wrong plate finaly they got it right. The we saw them grab her old plate (she put tons on vinigar on her fries)re-put the toothpick in the sandwish and bring it out to a couple. They took it am wiredly enough ate...making wierd faces and all. We didn't want to take a chance with our meals being recycled so we just left.

Award Nomination: Hugest Dump
