Without any hesitation I can honestly say the Twisted Fork has the best brunch in Vancouver!

Add me to the list of Medina cult members. The brunch here is all it's cracked up to be.

It was Sunday morning so we thought we'd try to get there as soon as we could.. 915am... and when we arrived, Medina was already packed with a waiting list.…More »

Ah Alibi Room, my old brunch friend. How I have forsaken you so, and for that I apologize.

Alibi used to be one of my regular brunch stops, but for some reason I stopped going, maybe it was because of my quest to find new and exciting brunch locales,…More »

Joe's has to be one of the best greasy spoon diners in the West End. If you're looking for a good hung-over brunch spot for cheap and where you can get a decent cup of non-stop coffee, then Joe's is definitely the place to go.

The food is straight up…More »

The Whip has to be one of the better brunch locals outside of the downtown core. I used to come here regularly for brunch before I was encased by my West End bubble, so it was great to check it out again.

The menu had changed since the last time I had…More »

Room for improvement, but overall Subeez is a pretty decent downtown brunch destination.

We rarely visit Subeez for dinner but it has become a solid reliable fall-back for brunch. Because it's so large, you won't have to wait for a table like at other…More »

3.0 star rating
  6/6/2010 First to Review

A West End staple since 1997, the Red Umbrella Cafe is a great spot for a quick breakfast or lunch.

Despite it's small size, and dated decor the Red Umbrella is a step up from your normal greasy spoon restaurant. The food is simple, straight forward,…More »

I've been to Campagnolo's a few times for dinner now and was impressed each time, but this was my first experience for brunch and I have to admit I was a little bit disappointed in my meal.

I had the Sunny Side Up eggs with salsiccia, salsa verde, and…More »

Being new to Seattle and the Belltown area of town, I turned to Yelp to once again help me find some of the local brunch spots to try out.

My girlfriend and I made it to CJ's on a rare sunny, Sunday morning to be somewhat surprised at how busy the…More »
