Where to Eat in Vancouver: 24 Hour Restaurants
Once you have kids, you’re not up all night partying – but you may still be up all night. If you find yourself wandering the halls with a cranky baby at 2:00 am, or if a pregnancy craving hits and you need a bagel right now, you may want to hit a restaurant or cafe that’s open all night long.

Duffins Donuts
Duffin’s is where to eat in Vancouver anytime you are hungry at any hour of the day for any kind of food. Squishiest, freshest donuts in the city! Beats Tim’s by a long shot. But they are so much more than donuts. Think pupusas, tamales, fried chicken, hot torta subs, chorizo and egg sandwichs to satisfy any and all kinds of late night munchies.
