Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in West Vancouver

"The jewel of Vancouver’s vegetarian and vegan dining scene, The Acorn Restaurant (3995 Main Street), has consistently been lauded for its refined approach to seasonal plant-based eating. Big Seven Travel listed them as the #1 vegan-friendly restaurant in the world. A tour of the menu reveals many beautifully conceived and executed items, such as pan-roasted North Arm Farm black salsify with burnt grand fir brown butter, Mount Pleasant magnolia vinegar, parsley root purée, ox-eye daisy capers, and crispy salsify skins."

"The Acorn opened a few years ago, and they have already been voted #1 Best Vegetarian and Vegan restaurant in Vancouver by Westender Magazine AND Vancouver magazine. Even more impressive, Scout Magazine also included them in the list of 25 Best Restaurants in Vancouver (veggie or not!). Needless to say, this place is worth the visit even if you aren’t living that plant-based life."

"Location: 3995 Main Street, VancouverCategory: Upscale Vegetarian / cocktail barDescription: The restaurant that will introduce you to the amazingness that is Halloumi cheese (if you’re vegetarian).

"Consistently great espresso is one Cafe Medina’s secrets to success. With a coffee bar dedicated to lattes, waffles, and a to-go counter, skip the 20-person queue for quick access to caffeine. A top-of-the-line La Marzocco FB/80 can be credited for their perfect 49th Parallel coffees, as can their talented, coffee-obsessed baristas."

"What is it: If brunch means seeing and being seen, then head to Medina, where the line outside proves it's one of the most popular restaurants in Vancouver. Rest assured, the menu is worth the hour you might wait. Locally sourced ingredients combine to make Mediterranean-inspired comfort food and famous, fluffy waffles."

"This is the place to go for a great brunch, and for good reason. Cafe Medina wows diners with their super scrumptious dishes, and friendly service. They have a decent patio, and maybe not with the best view, but they more than make up for it with their wonderful food."

"Serving a range of breakfast and brunch foods, Yolks‘ food truck came into existence following massive demand from their anchor restaurant. Yolks allows customers to build their own breakfast sandwich, as well as options like organic oatmeal and granola and their fresh, homemade beignets and coffee options. Try one of their eggs benedict, featuring honey cured ham, spinach and mustard, all served on a toasted English muffin with hollandaise sauce for a savory brunch classic."

A post shared by Yolks Breakfast (@yolksbreakfast) on Oct 8, 2019 at 8:12am PDT. So what came first, the chicken or the egg?"

"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!"

"Right by the water in Yaletown, OEB Breakfast Co is one of those perfect brunch spots no one should miss out on, and especially if you’re a couple looking for a cute and romantic place to chill on a Saturday. Opt for a table on their patio and enjoy the beautiful weather and rippling scenery while you dine in style. The menu at OEB is extensive, and it was difficult for us to pick out just a few items from all our favorites."

"OEB, which stands for Over Easy Breakfast, is a Calgary breakfast staple that recently opened a brand new location in Yaletown. OEB specializes in some seriously over the top creationsegg creations, including a Chill Da Bison Out signature breakfast poutine, with bison, french fries, hollandaise and of course, eggs!"

"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."

"Parallel 49 (1950 Triumph Street) is one of Vancouver's leading craft breweries (and a personal favorite — I drink Gypsy Tears at home). The Tasting Room has a whopping 40 different taps to choose from and the Street Kitchen (inside) serves up tacos to burgers and daily doughnuts to pair with your beer of choice. Pick up limited edition and rare release beers at the Beer Store or stock up on year-round favorites from the Northwest Red Ale, Ruby Tears, to the Filthy Dirty IPA and the seasonal grapefruit radler Tricycle Radler, which is a summer staple for Vancouverites."

"Lucky’s Doughnuts are tasty as they are tasteful, offering gourmet flavours like lemon curd with torched meringue and earl grey with lavender. They serve all the traditional flavours like French crullers, old fashioned glazed, salted caramel and plenty of seasonal and rotating flavours. Keep an eye out for their wildly inventive specials, too."

"Don’t forget you can save some money when you buy a bakers dozen of Luckys Doughnuts. *Vegan/Gluten Friendly option is also now available. #GetLucky #TheBakersDozen"

"Lotus Seed is one of the best vegan restaurants in Vancouver thanks to its fresh and healthy menu of local and organic bites. Highlights include meatless ball sandwiches, pho, almond alfredo spaghetti, vegan benedict and vegan sushi. There’s something here for all times of the day, as well as fantastic juices."

"Location: #180 – 3665 Kingsway, Vancouver (Metrotown)Category: Asian FusianDescription: A newer restaurant in Burnaby that features healthy, fresh food. They have a smaller menu (to ensure quality & freshness) that has hearty Pho, baked burritos, sushi, Thai Curry and more.Website: www.lotusseed.ca"

"Lotus Seed Vegan is an unassuming restaurant on West Broadway near Cambie Street. Their food is simple, but homey and comforting. I like ordering their vegan pho when I want a light and healthy broth."

"The Templeton won an outstanding achievement award from the BC heritage society back in 1997 and has been a diner since 1934 under various names. Probably the highest quality diner on this list, The Templeton is the place to go when your parents or grandparents want to have a great breakfast in a setting they would have experienced as kids.

With all day breakfast, free-run eggs and enough vegetarian options to keep every person in your party happy, The Templeton continues to be go-to spot for all-day b-fast in Vancouver."

"What happens when you combine traditional French and modern Vietnamese cooking?. Linh Cafe, of course. This family-style restaurant's atmosphere is cozy and fuss-free, the service is friendly, and the food is excellent."

"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?"

"Every café sells baked treats, but Their There in the beachside neighborhood of Kitsilano takes its carbs as seriously as its caffeine. After all, the nuanced notes of a single-origin Kenyan coffee deserve the equally sophisticated sweetness of Thai tea cronuts with lemongrass glaze and candied Thai basil. Their There sources beans from roasters like Vancouver’s Luna, while baking kouign-amanns, croissants and donuts in house."

"We’ve been so hyped up about Their There that we recently wrote an article just to talk about the specialty flavours. Turns out, if you want our attention, all you have to do is put ‘Froot Loops’, ‘Mochi’ and ‘Donuts’ together and actually bring the flavour to back it up. Word to the wise- this sounds relatively easy, but boy howdy do we know a lot of TLC goes into each donut here."

"Today was my first time eating 'their their 'the donuts are absolutely delicious and amazing, thank you for feeding my soul,the flavors almost ..."

The pre-fixe brunch menus ($25) include a freshly baked item, a main course (such as hash and eggs, loaded French toast, brunch burger, a featured benny, or a truckers plate), a sweet treat, coffee or tea, and a choice of beverage (think mimosa, milkshakes, or a signature mocktail). All seatings are for one hour, and reservations are required."
