Railtown Cafe - Vancouver

We went in for the ice cream Sandwiches and ended up taking home the ancient grains salad for dinner, a sourdough bread and a muffin. All very good. The salad was huge and tasty and delicious.

Relatively convenient as we left the airport for the West Vancouver, this off-the-beaten-path gem has something for everyone. I was intent on some salmon, and the salad did not disappoint. My daughters ordered well, one consuming an vegan club laden with perfectly pickled beets, the other going full nuts carnivore with a delish reuben with fresh, juicy brisket. I ate 1/2 of hers. I know. Wifey tried a very flavorful Korean bowl (off menu special)...also spot on. Many many locals on the scene, always a good sign!

Railtown recently opened a block down from our office and it has been a welcome addition to the neighborhood! The Americanos are great and don't forget to treat yourself to a cookie while you're there.

My wife and I stumbled on Railway Cafe during our recent annual visit to Vancouver. We went to the area to try out a food truck that was highly recommended by our daughters and spotted Railtown Cafe down the road. We were intrigued by the offerings on their boards and came back the next day to give it a try. We did not regret it.I had "The Spinach" salad bowl, but substituted quinoa for barley and spicy Korean dressing for vinagrette. My wife had "The Kale" (with honey roasted carrots, fresh garbanzo beans, shaved fennel, peas, oranges, almonds and a lemon, olive oil & mint dressing). Both dishes were amazingly good and sufficiently filling for a meal.The lunch crowd was a non-stop stream of mainly young folks from surrounding offices (fashion, design, architecture, IT), and the ordering system was quite efficient. Customers would give their order to Colin, who inputed these into an ipad, then proceeded to the cashier to pay and then waited for their order to be brought to the table or to them as they waited for takeaway. There were many who ordered on line to shorten the wait. The whole experience didn't seem to take too long.Aside from salad bowls, they offered interesting sandwiches, sides and an option to make your own salad.We will definitely go back during our next trip out, and maybe check out their other outlets as they seem to be growing rapidly around Vancouver.

This is an outstanding restaurant. It is always busy for good reason. The food is amazing. It's fresh and prepared a la minute. The salads and sandwiches are delicious. My favourite is the chicken club. Fresh baked bread and their excellent focaccia is for sale as well.
