Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in New Westminster

"A bijou little nook in the up-and-coming South Main neighborhood, The Acorn is a haven of haute vegetarian cuisine. Chef Brian Luptak weaves foraged flair into bold, complex dishes, like smoked-onion kelp sauce on roasted king oyster mushrooms and..."

"The Cafe Medina has quickly risen to be one of Vancouver’s top brunch spots. Offering perhaps the best Belgian waffles in the city, as well as an array of delicious brunch cocktails, the cafe reflects the relaxation and soulfulness typical of the Mediterranean. Spacious and brightly lit, Medina insists on high-quality ingredients that relay the cafe’s philosophy – that food feeds the soul as much as it does the body."

"A post shared by Medina Cafe (@medinacafe) on Apr 10, 2020 at 9:31am PDT. One of Vancouver's most beloved daytime spots is downtown's Cafe Medina. They are currently offering pick up via Tock or Ritual and delivery via Foodora and Skip the Dishes, Wednesday to Friday from 10 a.m."

"From its humble beginnings in a tiny trailer, to a full-scale restaurant, Yolk’s keeps going from strength to strength and never stops delighting its customers. Renowned for its great service and fabulous food, this restaurant is a must-visit on your next brunch adventure in Vancouver. The menu here is perfectly suited for every kind of diner."

"1294 East Hastings Street, Vancouver Tel: 604.441.YOLK (9655) Web: http://yolks.ca/ Twitter: @YolksBreakfast Advice: Weekdays from 8am-3pm and weekends from 9am-4pm. Known from their popular food truck that has been delighting diners with breakfast and brunch treats downtown and at the farmers markets, they now…"

"The ever-popular Breakfast Restaurant Yolk's got its start out on the streets of Vancouver. Try their perfectly poached free-range egg sandwiches with a truffle-lemon hashbrown skewer on the side. Wash it down with fresh-squeezed OJ or hot chocolate made with the best possible choc - Callebaut!"

"Touted as the one-star Michelin brunch joint, OEB Breakfast in Yaletown has the patio and food that will make anyone’s day. Their brunch is stellar, yet creative. And the view lets you enjoy a dose of people watching and the outdoor view of the water."

"Our chef-driven concept is led with soul, where the emphasis lies on the people that produce, create, serve and consume our fresh, iconic cuisine."

"Before a long day of people watching at Kits Beach, clocking a few laps at Kits Pool, and shopping the ritzy boutiques along West 4th Avenue, you’ll need to refuel—and nowhere better than at 49th Parallel in the heart of trendy Kitsilano. The coffee is the main attraction here. The shop sources its beans directly from farmers, ensuring solid ethics as well as top-quality brews."

"49th Parallel is famous for Lucky’s Donuts and (in my view at least) their pretty blue mugs. Their beans are roasted in house and it very tasty. While there are a few 49th Parallel coffee shops in Vancouver, their location in Kitsilano has a beautiful patio area making it one of the cutest places to get coffee."

"A post shared by Lucky’s Doughnuts (@luckysdoughnuts) on Jun 20, 2018 at 11:01am PDT. Vancouver is no stranger to amazing doughnut spots, and Lucky’s is one of the best. When paired with 49th Parallel coffee, you’ll feel like you’re on cloud nine."

"Fatburger started in 1952, with the creation of the biggest, juiciest hamburgers anyone had ever seen. We are passionate about quality, food and service - and it shows!. What makes our Award Winning burgers so special?"

"Now that the location on Denman is closed, this is my go-to and I find it consistently delivers on the quality."

"The Shameful Tiki Room is so convincing as an indoor tropical island you won’t remember anything about the outside world while you’re there, including that you’re actually in Vancouver and it’s likely raining outside. You’ll find smoke machines, live music, thunder sound-effects, and the staff chanting things like “mystery bowl” from time to time. It’s the best place for a big night out, though since it’s small and very popular, save the hour long waits and make a booking."

"The Shameful Tiki Room is one of the most fun places to grab a drink in Vancouver. Once inside, soak up the super kitschy decor, carved masks, art, retro lighting, Hawaiian ads and postcards are scattered throughout the room. Without any windows in sight, the room is dimly lit, making it easy to forget about time while you enjoy the vibe and cocktails."

"As Vancouver’s first 100% organic wine bar, Grapes and Soda builds their seasonal tapas-style menu around their ever-changing list of natural and biodynamic wines. Along with a variety of small plates, the intimate restaurant serves cheeses and the best smoky olives in town that pair perfectly with the many 'by the glass' options. One beer graces the menu, along with six artisanal cocktails."

"Grapes and Soda isn’t really a place you stumble across since it’s down a random street in Kitsilano, but it is somewhere you should seek out. Come here for their natural wine list, or a cocktail with things like sassafras smoke, kombucha, or salty rice. Their drink list is constantly changing, but we’ve never been disappointed here."

"Cabana is a truly unique lounge redefining Vancouver's nightlife scene in the heart of the entertainment district. Inspired by the vibrant style of South Beach, the Lounge boasts rich colors, chic cabana draped VIP booths, combined with stunning design elements. RSVP at Cabana Lounge"

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. This is a small, family-run shop that is just two years old. It might not have a long legacy but the founders’ parents own a dairy so ice cream is in their blood!"

"A post shared by The Coffee Bar (@coffeebar_gastown) on Mar 19, 2020 at 4:42pm PDT. As it says in the name, this is the coffee bar. Stop by here for a cup of coffee, a nice pastry, and to just hang out in general."

"One of Gastown's most popular cafes serving properly pulled 49th Parallel espresso. Much of their baking is done in-house daily; other high-end items are sourced locally. Enjoy savouring your latte?"

"Samurai Japanese Restaurant is an informal eatery with a long and comprehensive menu. Their signature dish is their massive sushi rolls, but the sashimi is also quite popular. They offer a good range of appetizers such as sunomono, wakame salad, and a number of tofu dishes."

"Probably the most slept-on restaurant in the Kingyo grouping but for sure our favourite. They share a couple of dishes with Kingyo, but they specialize in kushikatsu, which we are now addicted to. Basically, these guys bread and deep fry just about everything, then they put it on a skewer, and then you put that in your mouth."
