The End Cafe (Grandview and Commercial Drive)
I had never reviewed The End Cafe for dinner (although I had already had a burger there once, and I had written about it before on my blog). But for last Vancouver Bloggers Meetup, I hadn’t had any food all day and was incredibly hungry so I decided it was time to have dinner there again.
I should preface this review by saying that I have had food at The End Cafe before (a burger with fries) but this time, it tasted like glory. Moreover, I had the pleasure of having dinner with Isabella and Laura, who arrived early to the meetup. I ordered yam fries with garlic mayo to share with Isabella and a club sandwich for myself.
The club sandwich was rather large (which is good, because in this economy, restaurants really need to give you value for your money. It came accompanied with a salad of fairly decent size (given that I was already munching on yam fries, I didn’t mind the salad, hehe). I would definitely recommend The End Cafe for dinner, although as mentioned before, it does have music in the background. If you’re not used to the feel of sports bar, you’ll need to get used to it.
On several positive accounts: the staff is super ultra friendly and they really try their very hardest. The owners are very open to constructive criticisms and suggestions. They were extremely accomodating to me as the organizer of the VBM. In regards to the space, it’s a large venue and I would hold the VBM here again (maybe not every month, but definitely will repeat as there has been a very positive response from many people. We’ll have to see how we deal with noise at some point. But this sounds more like a review of the VBM rather than a review of The End Cafe. My verdict is – I’ll definitely come back for dinner here, regardless of whether we hold the VBM here or not.

Glad to hear your review, especially as a place to host a larger group of people meeting. Haven’t been there myself yet, but am considering it as a potential spot for National Novel Writing Month events in the future.
Thanks for your kind words Raul.
Just to let you know that I “may” be leaving for Mexico City sometime around the end of April for a Criminology seminar on gang violence and International Drug Trafficing Task Force. I heard that there maybe up to 24 universities involved in this? I will check out the local shops when I’m there and do lots of food sampling. *grin*
