About
Northern Cafe and Grill is a true Vancouver cult classic. Hidden on the second floor of a non-descript industrial hardware building in South Vancouver, it is run by the legendary Jimmy and his family. Famously ranked as Yelp’s #1 place to eat in Canada, it offers a unique, high-energy atmosphere where construction workers and foodies sit side-by-side.
Ambiance
“A warm and inviting space perfect for gathering with loved ones.”
