The Templeton has been a diner in Vancouver since 1934. The owners, hearing it was to be sold and gutted bought the place and retained its iconic decor. This restaurant is old school right down to the long Formica countertop, vinyl booths and individual jukeboxes on the tables.
This is an efficient eatery that serves tasty food
from scratch just like mom used to make. Every time Steve and I visit the Templeton we are served by the same friendly no nonsense waitress.
Snappy service, snappy repartee! The Templeton uses quality
ingredients such as free run eggs and natural bacon. I recommend the Trucker's
breakfast or the blueberry pancakes. If you are feeling virtuous, order
the half grapefruit with brown sugar and pecans. They caramelize the
sugar under the broiler. Delicious!
If you arrive at lunchtime order a gourmet burger or a grilled cheese sandwich. Wash it all down with an
authentic milkshake. Portions are sustaining. This is food both
comforting and skillfully made.
If you are in Vancouver and you love old school
diners I can't recommend the Templeton enough. It is on our must visit list
whenever we hop across the pond!
