The price was a little higher than he should be. I'd rather go with IHOP with cheaper costs and better taste.

The place was very busy, service good, and both meals were very good. When the bill arrived, $31,...we put out the vouchers (1x $20, and 1x $5), the balance and a $5 tip in cash. The waitress returned and advised we could only use the $20 gift voucher, and one meal would have to be worth $20 to use it, as they couldn 't give back anything remaining of the $20. What??? We advised this is not stated on the certificates. She then said it was the 'computer ', but she could make it work that we would get a $10 voucher back for another time. She took it away, then returned and said she was able to deduct $20.40, and give us back the $5 voucher for another time. What?? We paid the difference with a smaller tip, then gave the $5 voucher to the family next to us. What a disappointing way they handled these gift vouchers. Value is value, and we didn 't even see a $20 food item on the menu, so how would that ever work? While the food was good, we won 't be back and we will advise the event organizers who raffled off these gift vouchers, of the unforeseen restrictions.

While Jules Cafe on Rumble offers decent options, I often crave something different. Thankfully, Cora recently opened in early April at the former Applebee’s site in Highgate Mall. This well-known chain specializes in breakfast and is particularly acclaimed for its fresh fruit-themed dishes. Having enjoyed meals at their Richmond and Coquitlam locations, I was eager to check out their new Burnaby branch as soon as it opened.

I've been there once before, and it's usually quite busy, making it hard to even get inside! I suppose that’s understandable since Cora only serves breakfast and lunch. I enjoy going there because their menu is extensive, offering a wide variety of delicious options, and they provide an abundance of fruit. I'm a big fan of fruit, so seeing all of that around me was quite delightful.
