One of the most comforting culinary combos is a gooey, buttery grilled cheese paired with a bowl of velvety tomato soup. Both are delicious on their own but together represent the epitome of comfort food.

Whether you’re craving the traditional version or a fancier twist on the classic, here are seven places to get your grilled cheese and tomato soup fix in Vancouver.

The Red Wagon

For those craving some nostalgia with their meal, look no further than the Red Wagon Café for simple, comfort food that takes you back to your childhood. Popular with the locals, the diner serves up a crunchy, cheesy trifecta of cheddar, goat cheese, and swiss grilled cheese, paired with their smokey tomato soup.

Nestled in the Settlement Building along with Vancouver Urban Winery and Postmark Brewery, Belgard Kitchen serves up an opulent rendition of the classic combo. Only available during dinner, Belgard pairs a scrumptious pot of tomato soup fondue with swiss and gruyere grilled cheese toasties (cut into small stripes perfect for dipping).

Burgoo

A restaurant that’s no stranger to comfort foods, Burgoo offers a variety of palatable classics and puts their own twist on the dynamic duo. Their Gooey Cheese Grillers are jammed packed with mozzarella, gruyere, emmenthal, and white cheddar; it usually comes with a salad, but you can swap it out for their hearty tomato soup.

Hi-Five

Vancouver’s tiny grilled cheese take-out window is serving up a lot of flavour. Hi-Five offers five variations of the classic grilled cheese that range from cheddar to gruyere to pepper jack packed with extras like sriracha, mac ‘n’ cheese, and BBQ chips. Indulge in one of the scrumptious sandwiches with a side of tomato soup for lunch (Tuesday to Friday) or as a late-night snack (Thursday to Saturday).
