Weirdo Cafe - Vancouver, British Columbia

Today was Weirdo Cafe's last day of operation, so I went here for lunch with a friend. Had the Golden Desert fries and the Sunset Bay Seafood risotto. Everything was good, the fries especially. I don't really have risotto so it was hard for me to judge, but it tasted good ... for what it was. Atmosphere/decor was great. Only one waitress for the restaurant and she seemed quite busy (a full house on closing day), but she was friendly nevertheless. Sad to see another fixture of the neighbourhood close. Wishing the owners and staff well on their future endeavors. Read more

Recently learned about this neighbourhood hidden gem from a friend, and I couldn't believe how good this place was. The restaurant was spacious; the decor obviously showed the owners put a lot of thought and effort into it. The staff was friendly, and best and most important of all, their ... food was out-of-this-world tasty. We had a schnitzel risotto main dish, a karaage spaghetti main dish, and an Earl Grey ice-cream toast dessert, and they were all extremely tasty. Portions were generous as well. The food quality was easily 2 steps above what you'd get from Cactus Club / Earl's / Browns type of place, but at prices that are better than these same places. It is a shame that such a terrific neighbourhood hidden gem is closing down soon, and it is unfortunate that I have only found out about them so late. Best of luck to the owners and staff, and I hope you'd be able to find another opportunity to keep serving up those ever-so-yummy dishes of yours! Good luck and all the best! 🙏 Read more

The place is amazing!!! The lady who served us was friendly. Only issue was the service was a bit slow, but because we are here for awhile it didn't matter. On a busier day though it would have been an issue. The food is amazing! the drinks and desert delicious!!! ... Want to come back again and tell all my friends to come here... best part, the name!!!

(July, 2021) Free parking available, but very limited spaces shared with neighboring stores. Modern interior design. Pretty high quality dishes with impressive presentation. The dishes look very consistent with the pretty pictures on their menu. The fruit tea was really nice with reasonable price. (they use real ingredients and not fruit powder) Overall, out of ... all the dishes ordered, we like the Hawaiian Risotto the most. On my last visit I had also tried Sunset Bay Seafood Risotto, which is pretty good too. Very good and prompt service (probably because we arrived early during dinner hours). Value wise, I would say it's better than places like Earls Kitchen + Bar, in terms of food + prices. Will definitely return! (Sep. 2022) Update: Takeout photos. Note: only for reference, since it was a 15min drive home on bumpy roads. Not sure why, but the Titanic Crab Cake didn't have crab taste; might be overseasoned? Also be mindful, the sunset seafood risotto might have small broken shell pieces. Read more

First time trying out this restaurant and I was not disappointed! Tucked away in the middle of a small Plaza (same parking lot as Thai Son on Victoria dr) this fusion style cafe is serving up one of a king risotto and pasta dishes. We ordered the golden desert appetizer, ... which is fries coated in salted duck egg and pumpkin puree served with a small salad, Spanish style braised seafood risotto, and weirdo burger spaghetti with tomato yogurt sauce. We made both entrees into a combo by adding 5$, one we added a drink (coral sea slush) and a strawberry Panna cotta. So worth it! The spaghetti was so different and delicious, my favourite out of everything we ordered! We will definitely come back and try other dishes. The risotto is more like sauces rice than actual arborio rice. The seafood was not over cooked and well seasoned. They don't cook with MSG, an interesting note. Parking was limited but when I went at 530pm on a Friday night it wasn't packed. Read more
