I work at BCIT. I’ve been an instructor there for the last 6 years, and while I only work there part-time, I am there pretty much every Tuesday night. Conveniently located across the street from my work is the St Regis Bar & Grill. It’s big and dark, and it has this Malbec I like […]
This is the second post in our series about the cheapest breakfasts in the city. The goal here is to source out all the joints where you can get away with coffee and breakfast for under $10. Bon’s Off Broadway is number one in the category, and has been…. pretty much since I can remember. […]
A few years ago, I visited New Orleans for the first time. One of the prevalent smells in NOLA is that of barbecue and smoke. That particular smell of smoking wood that is both delicious and incredibly anticipatory. That same smell is the aroma that greets you when you walk in the front door of […]
The location feels a bit odd. Library Square, a “proper English pub,” is located in… well, Library Square, on the corner of Georgia and Richards. It seems like the last place where you’d find a proper pub, but its exterior is deceptive. Once inside, there is a lot of space, dark wood, cozy booths upholstered […]
One of our jobs here at Brunchcouver is to keep out ahead of the pack; to be on the cutting edge with eggs, so to speak. We like to check out the newest that the city has to offer and report back to y’all so that you can also be in the know. I failed […]
We have a new series here at Brunchcouver, it’s called Cheap and Cheerful. The idea is to highlight breakfast and brunch in Vancity for under $10. Where can you get it? Whose is worthy and whose is just a greasy hangover cure? We are setting out to answer all the questions. Our first stop? The […]
It’s been nearly a year since Forage, one of my all time favourite brunch places (and, in fact, one of my fave restos in the city) took over the art gallery that was next door to their location and opened up a casual Canadian-themed pub called Timber. The place is awash in Canadian kitsch. The […]
Oh, man, I love this city. So, yes, I am a pretty Anglo kinda girl. My people come from the UK primarily, and a little from Germany and Russia. But I love all cultures’ food, and in Vancouver, that’s not a problem. Whatever you’re into, we’ve got it. Food is a universal language, and just […]
I’ve been a resident of the West End/Coal Harbour now off and on for about 15 years. This last stretch, I’ve been living just off of Georgia St for the last 5 years, with zero plans of ever going anywhere else. I love my ‘hood. I love how walkable it is. I love the coffeeshops […]
It’s small. It’s tucked away. Yet it’s been there for ages. Just off of Burrard, on Granville, in the middle of what is currently quite the traffic schmozzle (as Burrard has been shut down from Broadway to 16th for months) is the 9th Avenue Grill. It’s tiny; just a dozen tables are tucked into the […]
