Preguntas frecuentes
What is Cafe Medina known for?
Cafe Medina is best known for its waffles, especially the liege waffles and waffles with dipping sauces, which reviewers call a must-order and a Vancouver rite of passage. Its signature fricassée also gets repeated praise for tender braised short ribs, caramelized onions, smoked cheddar, and roasted potatoes.

What is the atmosphere like at Cafe Medina?
The vibe is lively, cozy, and eclectic, with an industrial-vintage look, high ceilings, Edison-style lighting, and big windows that make the room feel bright and open. It suits brunch with friends, dates, family outings, and even business meetings, though some reviewers note the patio can be the better choice on a sunny day because the indoor space gets busy.
Is Cafe Medina good value, and what is the price range?
Reviewers describe it as a little expensive, but say you get more than what you pay for, especially because the food, service, and refillable coffee feel worth it. The price level is not listed in dollars here, but the overall feedback points to a higher-end brunch spot in downtown Vancouver rather than a cheap cafe.
How busy does Cafe Medina get, and when is the best time to go?
