Serving up Japaribbean Cuisine, The Lions Den epitomizes the mosaic that permeates the Canadian landscape. Where else in the world can you find fine Caribbean cuisine meld with Japanese flavors amidst standard breakfast items served all day long?

Located on 15th and Fraser, The Lions Den can be found kitty corner from The Bible Store behind a row of trees sharing the block with a wide range of establishments including a sushi store and a European bakery.

Breakfast at The Lions Den averaged around $7 per person. The menu was full of standard breakfast classics that included:

3 layer grilled cheese sandwiches
Eggs any style served with potatoes, sausage, ham or bacon
Strawberry topped waffles
Brown and white toast
What looked like home made jams
and finally great coffee

The service was chilled, the staff super friendly. The coffee was great and the food was for the most part excellent. The only complaint I heard was from someone having wished they selected the jamaican patty in favor of the scrambled eggs - something about how scrambled eggs are only best when they come from a breakfast buffet.

The Lions Den is the kind of place that could keep you occupied for well after the food has been digested. The outdoor street patio is perfect for people watching and on our sunny day we had a tough time pulling ourselves from our seats. Inside things get even more interesting. The colors are intense and a life-sized stuff Lion is hoisted up high on the wall. The only thing that I felt was missing were hammocks!

The Ghettobreakfastclub highly recommends a visit to The Lions Den and rate it:

Editor’s note: Be sure to order Jerk Sauce on the side with your eggs!

Browsing our growing list of reviews just became a whole lot easier with today’s launch of the GhettoMap.

We are not professional cartographers but we think it looks pretty good! (except for the lack of transparent background on the toast - that’s on our To Do list).

love,
the GBC admin

p.s. we’ve also added our flickr feed to the right hand side!
