Reviews for D.I.C.E.D Discovery in Vancouver, BC
From what I understand, the DICED Discovery Cafe is a self-funded culinary training facility so I was intrigued and excited to... check out this unique concept cafe and also because it was in the unassuming Hostelling International Vancouver location bystunning Jericho Beach Park. I heard great things about their burgers and they did not disappoint. The double pattycheeseburger was beefy and juicy with gooey melted cheddar cheese, sliced pickle, tomato and lettuce on a fluffy bun. It was agood value at just under $10 but the single burger is a great value at under $6. Sadly, the beetroot salad paled by comparison.It was diced beetroot, that part was fine, but it was a small portion on a mound of shredded cabbage. There was a creamydressing drizzled only on top of the beets leaving the cabbage raw and undressed. We would not order this again. It was abeautiful summer mid-afternoon so we chose to eat outside at one of the picnic tables scattered in the large fenced-in yardinstead of inside the warm cafe. It was a very casual and relaxed atmosphere for eating. At the same time, the service was alittle too casual and relaxed, for eating... lol As there was no signage or anyone to greet us at the gate, we went inside toask if we were supposed to order before sitting outside. We were told someone would take our order outside and they handed us acouple little paper menus. Back outside, we waited awhile before someone came with a bottle of water and cutlery and before wefinally placed our order. As we ordered, we realized we both had different menus - a breakfast and a regular menu. Awhile later,another server came by with a third menu. The server hadn't seen our first regular menu before. We were so confused as to whatthey actually sold but we shrugged it off as we had already ordered. The burger came after awhile and then the beetroot salad.We were not checked on otherwise and we had to flag someone down for our bill. We ran out of water but didn't bother ask Read more
Neat little cafe / dinner close to Jericho beach with a wide open lawn patio. Prices were fair and the food was really good.... Service was a tad slow but probably just busy as it was lunch. Parking is paid lot but you can easily find parking down thestreet for free if you?re willing to walk a bit! Read more
Excellent breakfast at a good price. Good outdoor seating. **Very good gravy and biscuits. ** Yes, the hours don?t always match... - it?s a social good enterprise with tasty, inexpensive food right by the beach. What more can you really ask for? It?s a gemwhere you can easily bring kids and doggos and hang out with your friends over some beer. Pretty perfect if you ask me. PleaseTip very very well! Read more

We had our birthday lunch celebration for one of our friends! First time in this place and the service and food is really... excellent. We enjoyed our food and place is really nice. It?s just like old times, there are tables outside the restaurant andit will be good to dine outside during spring when it?s not raining and during summertime.This place is walking distance toJericho Beach.

Generally speaking D.I.C.E.D is closed on Mondays but today (August 22, 2022) they decided to open. Not that there were many... diners around noon. Both breakfast and lunch menus were available so I had Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon. The poached eggswere served on a biscuit (for English readers a scone) with excellent fried potatoes (not chips or french fries). The poachedeggs were perfect with delicious liquid gold yolks. Service was very friendly but tended to be more concerned about what theydidn't have than what they did. At present there is a general shortage of sriracha - which doesn't bother me at all but othershave different tastes. Others had tuna tacos, a burger and and omelette and the presentation of all four was excellent. Minorniggles. The umbrellas that were supposed to provide shade were simply stuck through a hole in the table without the essentialballast to hold them in place. When the wind blew they became erratic. The toilet facilities are shared with the adjacenthostel. The door is marked with a pictogram of a shower: I wasn't looking for a shower. Neither niggle will deter me fromreturning. This place is well worth the trip! Read more
