Here are some places that will make you give up breakfast and lunch for BRUNCH.

A-120 Hastings St W, Vancouver, BC V6B 1G8

Gastown, one of Vancouver’s most historical destinations, is populated with amazing heritage buildings and trendy eateries. Despite being surrounded by other great joints, Catch 122 stands out from the crowd because of their holy brunch menu. It’s the perfect place to hang out with friends, enjoy a great cup of drip coffee and indulge in eggs benedict with a perfectly cooked poached egg.

Chambar Restaurant

568 Beatty St, Vancouver, BC V6B 2L3

A classy, fine dining destination to go to at night, but by day it becomes one of the top spots for brunch in the city. The rustic-meets-modern interior design gives the space a sense of elegance while still remaining laid back. Chambar is a great place for a great cup of Joe, and the European-inspired brunch selections on the menu that will make you drool.

Café Medina

780 Richards St, Vancouver, BC V6B 3A4

The early bird gets to eat! Even though this restaurant specializes in brunch, it gets PACKED fast. They open at 9:00 am on weekends and 8:00 am throughout the week so it’s highly recommended that you hit up this location early to guarantee a table before the lineups start. They serve amazing Belgian waffles and are one of the finest brunch spots in Vancouver.

The Flying Pig

104-1168 Hamilton St, Vancouver, BC V6B 2S2

Don’t let the name fool you; The Flying Pig serves many options on the brunch menu other than pork. The perfectly plated dishes and astonishing interior décor make this restaurant amazing to look at, but the cozy atmosphere and relaxed vibe mean it’s also a great spot to sit in and pig out. I guess the “pig” reference suits this perfectly. They serve spot-on brunch dishes such as Croque Madame and smoked salmon benedicts. It’s the perfect place to indulge on a Sunday morning.

The Oakwood Canadian Bistro
