Ritz Restaurant

A great little gem of a café. Friendly service and reasonably priced. The Ritz is clean and well kept. I will be coming back to try more of the delicious foods.

Tried Filipinon breakfast Tapsilog today, very good! Very different and yummy, good price!

We stopped in for lunch, had the chicken Bombay and the chicken and pork adobo.
The food was amazing, so flavourful, fresh and filling. The service was great.
We will definitely return.

Party of 1, weekday lunch.
Tasty home-​cooked chicken and pork adobo with rice and steamed vegetables.
Seating area’s not too big, and is nicely decorated with restaurant equipment from another era. The countertop needed a wipe-​down though — there was only one person taking care of the store and she was quite busy taking orders, cleaning tables, accepting payments, etc. But she still managed to stop by and check to make sure that I was enjoying my food (I certainly was!).
The food is on the greasy side. The chicken and pork ribs adobo with rice & assorted vegetables came with an excellent amount of sauce and grilled onions. The rice was soft and mixing the meat, rice, sauce and veggies together made for a delicious combo!
Would come here again without a doubt. Especially since I’ve now seen the picture of the smoked salmon eggs benedict on Unilocal!:)
No wifi.

Family run business — friendly, weekend brunch is busy with just one server who keeps a smile on her face throughout. Love the Filipino breakfast options as well as their potato rosti! Small place with limited seating, not good for big groups.

Kinda love the breakfast here. Looks like an old school diner right down to the milkshake mixer. I will drink your milkshake!
When here, you must do the Filipino breakfast. A little greens with a light dressing, a couple of eggs that are never too greasy, fried rice and sausages. It’s all about the sausages. They are fan fucking tastic.
Service is also great. The woman is beyond nice, quick, and all you expect from a diner and more.

One of the hidden gems in the neighborhood. Love all their breakfast options. Try Filipino breakfast.

Came here for lunch one day because my barber said they make a killer Bombay Curry Chicken… that they do indeed!
$ 10 got me steamed rice, steam veggies, and some spicy ass Bombay chicken. You can request how hot you want it and I chose medium-​hot. Now I eat spicy food but medium-​hot had me sweating… a lot!
I’d come back and check out their breakfast.

How does this place have four stars???
The chairs are duck taped, the floor dirty, and this is what the customers see. I can only imagine the kitchen. Honestly nothing special about the food. A lot of the food does not taste fresh.
You can make all their food at home.
Save your money and don’t go.

Get the Filipino breakfast special!

We decided to have brunch today and based on a friend’s recommendation, we went to Ritz restaurant. What a pleasant surprise! Upon entrance, we were warmly greeted by Marlene. This restaurant has all the warmth and charm of a typical diner. However, it is not a big place. On this Sunday morning, the place was packed so the four of us seated ourselves at the bar stools. Marlene was considerate enough to offer us the next table that was available.
We ordered the Filipino breakfast, considering of deliciously marinated beef with two eggs, garlic rice, salad and coffee. Big portions and great taste. Beef was delicious. I enjoyed the vinegar dip that came with the breakfast.
The menu consist of your typical diner food such as fish and chips, burgers and a variety of sandwiches. But for me, I would definitely try some of their other specialties such as their chicken/​rib adobo or the Bombay chicken on my next visit.
This is a family-​run diner which pays attention to the quality of their food and understands the importance of friendly customer service. They’ve also managed to keep their prices very, very reasonable. Judging from our visit, they have many regulars whom they know by name. Always a good sign for any restaurant.
They Ritz restaurant has quite a combination: great food, great service, great atmosphere and great price.
Highly recommended.

I give this place a solid 4.5 stars. You need to set your expectations when coming here. You are not going to get high end, gourmet food; you are getting a fast greasy spoon breakfast. I got the traditional Filipino breakfast with the sliced beef, the beef was really good, the rice was tasty, however, the eggs (over easy) were slightly overcooked but this is something that I have come to live with when getting breakfast. For $ 6 plus tax and tip you get meat (sliced beef, fried fish, or sausage), a little bit of lettuce with dressing, garlic rice, and a drink (coffee, tea, or juice); definitely worth the price.

Went there for brunch/​breakfast with a group of eight. Seven of us enjoyed — and I mean ENJOYED — the Filipino breakfast consisting of rice, salad, two fried eggs, and authentic Filipino meat (choice of thinly sliced marinated beef; sweet pork sausages; or fried marinated fish) for $ 6, including coffee. Hard to beat, both in price and flavor. The diner-​style restaurant is run by a family, who provide very friendly service. The atmosphere is great, a real neighborhood gem, highly recommended!

This tiny restaurant has the look and feel of a typical diner… with a difference. It has a Filipino flavour.
We scheduled this into our «Spoon Tour» because it has a standard diner breakfast… which most of us had. The adventurous one in our group ordered one of the 3 «Filipino Breakfast Specials». Our friend had the sliced beef (which came with a vinegar dip). There was also a pork sausage, and fish version. All came with garlic rice and 2 fried eggs. He found it very tasty.
The standard breakfasts were, well… standard. 3 small eggs, home fries (that were really French fries sliced like HFs) and regular «Wonder-​type» toast. The coffee was ok.
At 4.95 for the Canadian breakfast special — I think the Filipino version was 5.95 — you could hardly go wrong.

I checked this place out on the way home from yoga — cause nothing makes me happier than messing up some good workout with some greasy breakfast! Let me tell you that on first glance I thought with a name like Ritz that it was going to be a Jewish diner. Never did I think that it was going to be a Filipino resto with pretty good reviews from papers (posted proudly in their window).
I ended up getting the traditional Filipino breakfast with beef and it was mighty tasty despite the fact that I didn’t really feel like I was eating breakfast. But it was good and a great price. My friend had the bacon and egg combo and was quite happy with it too. The only thing is I’m not sure if yoga made me extra hungry (all that corpse pose really gets me in the mood for eatin) but I felt like there could have been more on my plate.
Oh also — if you’re bringing a stroller bring a buddy because you arent getting into those double doors without a struggle otherwise. I was caught in the middle at one point and almost asked to just be served in the corridor.

This little Filipino restaurant sits at the tail end of a series of businesses that occupy
Donlands and Cosburn. The restaurant offers your typical diner food as well home cooked Filipino food. The food is better than fast food but don’t expect Michelin star quality. The restaurant looks like it has not been redecorated since it originally opened up the sixties. But what it lacks in décor it makes up for in mass quantities is service and charm. As soon as you walk in, you can see the owner’s children playing with their friends and neighborhood regulars having conversations with the owner. I had the traditional Filipino breakfast dish Silog and ML had Beef-​Chicken Abodo. Both dishes were evenly seasoned and cooked. I will definitely return here at least on a monthly basis for the pleasant service and the cozy feel of this local joint. (the pictures are not from the restaurant since I forgot to take them, but this is pretty close to how it looks)
