IDEAL CAFE, Campbell River

I love that they haven't deviated from classic diner fare, but definitely have elevated. So stuffed after the meal, and the service was very good. Nothing super creative about the menu, but I have a feeling that this is exactly what their clientele wants.

A blast from the past

Loved this bit of time travel to a simpler era. The food was excellent. The service couldn't have been better and the vibe was pure fun.

Popular place

Arrived 1130 good thing cause by noon it was lined up. You sign in at the door then wait outside until table is ready. Capacity is down due to physical distancing so try to pick less popular times if you can. They are doing a...very busy take out business too. Great staff, they were upbeat and worked well together. Food was great and generous portions. Ample parking even for my long RV rig around the back but be mindful of the one way streets. Only complaint was that it was really noisy sitting at the bar stools. If you want a quiet conversation sit in the backMore

Eggs Benny!! Yum

This place is pretty great! it has a homie and warm feel. The west coast eggs benny was fabulous. The bacon was strange and very thin but I think with all the issues going on in the world this is a very small food cost...cut that makes sense. The staff were great as always and welcoming. The opened up another area in the back for seating in oder to keep everyone at a distance and we enjoyed the space!More

Great place.

Very traditional. What a relief to find such a place. Excellent Loggers breakfeast. Just what’s was looking for. Good for the soul. Very satisfying. Maybe not so fancy but wholeheartedly good. You just don’t find places like this anymore. Bar stool and counter service. Excellent.

Delicious Breakfast

My daughters and I enjoyed a delicious breakfast at Ideal Cafe. We ordered a clubhouse to go for my husband who couldn’t join us. It was delicious too. Restaurant is in a more industrial location of Campbell river but was easy to find. Lots of...parking.More
