Working in a nightclub for years will really throw off your eating schedule. More often than not, I found myself finishing my shift at 3 AM, and all I could think about was FOOD! The question on the minds of clubgoers, night owls, midnight foodies, and late-night workers alike is always, "Which restaurants are open this late?" Well, I've got the answer. Check out these 15 best spots in Vancouver to cure your midnight munchies. Lucy’s Eastside Diner, 2708 Main St View this post on Instagram We jumped on the ban wagon. Chicken and waffles come on in and get it🐓#Lucyseastsidediner #chickenAndwaffles A post shared by Lucy's Eastside Diner (@lucyseastsidediner) on Feb 12, 2019 at 4:52pm PST Open 24 hours The ultimate 24-hour diner. Once the clubs shut down, this place is packed with people until about 3 AM. Since it's only a short cab ride from downtown, Lucy's has been a local favorite for years. Plus, they'll put fried chicken on anything for $5. And, I mean, have you ever heard of anything better than Pulled Pork Pancakes to soak up your cocktails? The Naam, 2724 W 4th Ave View this post on Instagram One of the best 24 hour vegan restaurant in Vancouver is @naamrestaurant Featured here we got the California Burger Platter! It comes with their gluten free brown rice and toasted nut patty, lots of guacamole, tons of fresh greens and sesame fries with their amazing miso gravy 🤤 🌱delicious at any time of the day . . . . . . #vegan #plantbased #veganfood #healthy #breakfast #brunch #crepes #yum #toronto #restaurant #food #vegansoftoronto #vegansofig #whatveganseat #veganeats #poweredbyplants #vegang #veganstyle #veganlife #veganlove #govegan #eatvegan #vegandiet #greens #vegancheese #veganfoodshare #veganrecipes #torontofood #fries #burger A post shared by Two Toronto Vegans (@vegansintoronto) on Apr 24, 2019 at 1:07pm PDT 24 hours As far as eating after midnight goes, The Naam is probably one of the healthiest options. This place is always busy, but it's no wonder, because the food is totally delicious. Being so close to UBC, it makes for a great late-night study break for students pulling all-nighters. Also, they've got tons of yummy vegan and vegetarian choices. Breka Bakery & Café, 818 Bute St, 855 Davie St, 6533 Fraser St, 3750 W 4th Ave, and 821 Denman St View this post on Instagram Grateful to the person that decided to open a 24 hour bakery chain in van- thank you A post shared by • YVR Foodie • (@indithefoodie) on Apr 2, 2019 at 1:17am PDT 24 hours With five convenient locations, and two of them being downtown, I might need to make this my new 4 AM spot to cure any sweet cravings. Although it appears to be mostly baked goods and pastries, their paninis are where it's at. Duffin's Donuts, 1391 E 41st Ave View this post on Instagram @duffins_donuts cinnamon apple fritter, apple fritter, eclair, banana, angel and bear claw. ❤️❤️ it was yum #foodieadventures #foodie #foodcoma #hangry #food #hungry #donuts #doughnuts #duffinsdonuts #vancouver #vancity #recommend #sweets #bonbon #eclair A post shared by Youarethedummy (@you.r.a.foodie.to.me) on Apr 5, 2019 at 9:45am PDT 24 hours If I could bring my bed to Duffin's, I'd live there full time. If you have ever been to this iconic spot, you know what I'm talking about. Yes, they have amazing donuts. But the fried chicken and Vietnamese subs are what's really worth the $15 cab ride out there from downtown. Truong Thanh Restaurant, 2096 Kingsway View this post on Instagram #TruongThanh #Kingsway #Vancouver A post shared by Agnes Lee (@agneskllee) on Apr 21, 2018 at 4:04pm PDT 4 AM/6 AM If you're headed back to East Van after the bar, this is a great Vietnamese spot to slurp down some hot pho. Open late every day, it's less crowded than Pho Extreme - but just as delicious. Tsui Hang Village, 1193 Granville St View this post on Instagram Drunk food is the best food!!!🍾🍜🍵 #afterhours #4am #worryless#chinesefood#afterclub #latenight #munchies#drank#drunk#friends#fat#yum #vancouver#foodie#blog#vancouverfood#vancouvereats A post shared by Vancouver- Toronto Lifestyle (@vancitytingzz) on Apr 17, 2017 at 3:45pm PDT 12 AM/1:30 AM Vancouver's most famous late-night Chinese spot. Because of its great location on Granville, it's generally the first choice of many hungry clubgoers that just can't eat another slice of pizza. And I don't blame them. I also heard years ago that apparently if you ask for "Special Tea," they'll serve you beer in a teapot. It's worth a shot! Roxy Burger, 910 Granville St View this post on Instagram ***BONUS POST*** This isn’t from the Okanagan but while spending the weekend in Vancouver we stopped in at Roxy Burger. The Canadian Roxy Burger is an 8oz patty is certified angus steak and it’s topped with crisp bacon, cheddar cheese, homemade mayo, ketchup and mustard with lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Now this burger is a solid burger and delivers all the burger feels. The patty was nicely salted and so juicy and tender. The sauce was dripping and the cheese was on point. I think if we would have added mushroom or grilled onions it would have added just that bit of extra it was missing. But as is it’s a solid 7.75/10 and is definitely cheat meal certified. I’m already planning out the next time I’ll be able to eat this burger, it was that good. #burgerreview #isitworthit #burgersforlife #iloveburgers #vancouverburgers #burgergram #burger #worthit #roxyburger A post shared by Sky Edwards (@okanagan_burgergram) on Aug 27, 2018 at 2:44pm PDT 4 AM Classic pub-style food, you really can't go wrong at Roxy Burger. This is my favorite spot when I'm craving anything deep fried after a night of drinking. Chicken burger with a side of onion rings - that's my jam! Pho Extreme Xe Lua, 457 W Broadway View this post on Instagram Late night pho 🍲 A post shared by Sleeping Foodie (@sleeping.foodie) on Jan 28, 2018 at 1:30am PST 4 AM/5 AM Another healthier option and one of my personal fav 4 AM food spots. Nothing like an avocado shake and some vermicelli after a long night of drinking to help sober you up. Make sure you don't spend all your money at the bar because this spot is cash only. Mean Poutine, 718 Nelson St View this post on Instagram Les presento al mejor poutine de Vancouver, el Fried Chicken Poutine de @meanpoutine 🤤. Que es básicamente pollo buffalo con sus papas, gravy y quesito derretido 👌🏼 A post shared by Pancita Llena (@pancita.llena) on Dec 12, 2017 at 11:22am PST 4 AM I know how much y'all love poutine, so this spot had to make the list. If you find yourself in the heart of downtown, and you're dying for those cheese-covered, gravy-smothered fries, this is a must! Fire Pizza, 1918 Commercial Dr View this post on Instagram My buddy wanted late night #pizza so we ended up at #firepizza on Commercial Drive in #EastVancouver. Sooooo goooood!! #TheDrive #latenighteats A post shared by The Ragin Nation (@theraginnation) on Feb 8, 2018 at 2:47am PST 3 AM/4 AM As far as late-night pizza by the slice goes, this is basically my favourite place. It's not often I'll make the commute for a slice since Vancouver is riddled with bad pizza joints, but Fire Pizza is famous for their unique, specialty pies - and that makes them an exception. If you live near the Drive, you probably go here often. Fritz, 718 Davie St View this post on Instagram When in Canada, ALWAYS get poutine fries. Crispy fries smothered in rich gravy and sprinkled with juicy bacon bits.... OH MY GAWWWD 🤤🤤 🍟 Bacon Poutine 🍽 @fritzvancouver 📍 Vancouver BC, Canada . . . . . . . . #poutine #frenchfries #vancouverbc #friesbeforeguys #vancouverfoodie #myfab5 #bayareablogger #foodiegram #foodcoma #f52grams #eatfamous #vscofood #foodpics #nomnomnom #feastagram #eater #bonappetit #noleftovers #foodporn #baconlover #gravy #zagat #tryitordiet #ご飯 #カナダ #feedme #igfood #foodblogger #bestfoodaroundtheworld A post shared by SF BAY AREA FOOD | LIFE (@foodandsachi) on Feb 21, 2019 at 5:08pm PST 2 AM/2:30 AM/4 AM Got an unshakeable hankering for some damn good fries at 2 AM? This resto's got your back, every time - just make sure to order correctly: "fritz," not "fries." Did I mention they also have bomb, fully loaded poutines? Donair Dude, 1172 Davie St View this post on Instagram Lamb Tortilla Donair to go. ラム肉のトルティーヤドネルケバブをお持ち帰り。 #donair #ドネルケバブ A post shared by Timmy Tamate (@timmytamate) on Jun 7, 2017 at 9:13pm PDT 1 AM/2 AM/4 AM A quick walk up Davie Street is totally worth it for this top-notch donair. The only donair spot open this late downtown, and it's friggen delicious! My personal fav is the beef donair with all the toppings. House of Dosas, 1391 Kingsway View this post on Instagram Fish Curry from @houseofdosa Soft fish in a rich, delicious sauce. Served with Rice, Naan & dip. #indianfood #sogood #earlymorningeats #open247 #eat🍴 #bautistafoodies #vancouver #vancouverfood #vancouvereats #vancouverfoodie #vaneats #vancityeats #604 #604eats #604now #604food #604foodie #yvr #yvreats #yvrfood #yvrfoodie #icaneatthiseveryday #curry #fishcurry #foodporn #fishlover A post shared by MJ Bautista (@van_grub) on May 12, 2017 at 10:53pm PDT 3 AM Serving up some of the best South Indian food in Vancouver, this spot has nothing but rave reviews online. Their huge dosas aren't only delicious, they'll also have your Instgram followers asking WTF?! PiDGiN, 350 Carrall St. View this post on Instagram One of our favourite, slightly hidden spots in Gastown is @pidginyvr - serving up creative cocktails and east/west dishes to go with them. __________________ #vanfoodie #pidginyvr #vancityeats #yvreats #yvrfood #vancouverfoodie #foodcouver #604eats #vaneats #yvrfoodie #vancityfood #vancouverfood #dhvanfood A post shared by The Burrard (@theburrard) on Apr 23, 2019 at 8:00am PDT 12 AM Looking for a more stylish late-night choice? This Asian-fusion restaurant's French-inspired takes on dishes, plus its creative craft cocktails, are right up your alley. Congee Noodle House, 141 E Broadway View this post on Instagram 오랜만에 late night dinner 김지은이 놀러오거라 언니가 사줄께 ♡♡ #congeenoodlehouse #broadwayandmain#ourfavorite#chinese#allclear#timetobed A post shared by Julie Anusharan (@julie_kundi) on Jul 13, 2018 at 11:15pm PDT 1 AM/2 AM Another cash-only spot, so be sure to hit the ATM on the way. A great place when you're craving some traditional Hong Kong-style noodles after midnight. The pork and century egg congee is what's up! All research done in this article is by the author.
