The Naam (web site, 2724 W. 4th Ave. Vancouver BC Canada, phone: 604-738-7151) is a full service vegetarian restaurant that is open 24 hours and is popular for inventive organic and natural foods dishes. The Naam has won the “Best Vegetarian Restaurant” award for the last ten years in the Georgia Straight Magazine’s Golden Plate Awards (Reader’s Choice).
The Naam serves breakfast from 6am until 11:30 am on weekdays (and until 1:00pm on Saturday and 2:00pm on Sunday). I enjoyed the “Naam Special Breakfast” (pictured below, $9.50) which is two eggs any style, two whole wheat pancakes, veggie sausages or “Sam’s strips” (a kind of veggie patty) and home made potato fries. Yum!
For lunch and dinner, the restaurant serves tasty creations such as enchiladas, burritos, burger platters, curry, rice bowls, and wok dishes.
The Naam also features live music (mostly folk, jazz, and blues) from 7pm to 10pm every evening. Check out their web site for the upcoming schedule.

Late at night, there are somewhat limited options for tasty food in Downtown Vancouver, but one choice is Denny’s Restaurant (web site, an American chain restaurant) that serves all-day (and all-night) breakfasts, burgers, sandwiches, fries, and various other admittedly greasy but energy-rich foods. Denny’s is located at 1098 Davie Street, Vancouver, BC, phone 604-689-0509. Pictured below is the dish “Moons over My Hammy” which is more than just a cheese sandwich… it’s a toasted cheese sandwich loaded with lots of ham and egg. This is definitely good food for an energizing breakfast or a midnight snack.
