The Brekkie Up
Your hungry man craves a big boy breakfast for lunch, but you refuse to join his chain gang at Denny's. Alas, there's a beacon on the hash brown horizon.
Deacon's Corner, a new resto at Main and Alexander, is retro dining at its best. Fashioned after those classic diners you see in the movies, you'll find the requisite booths, banquette and swivel seats, but with above par fare (everything from biscuits to burger patties are made from scratch). There's hefty all-day brekkies like steak and eggs ($13.50) alongside lighter ones like French toast with fruit compote ($7.75). And when we hit the spot just past noon, it was packed with the young, Gastown design crowd.
We think this should solve your domestic dispute. If not there's always the cop shop across the street.
