I have a new crush. Is it possible to have a crush on a flat bread wrap? Well I do. I didn't mean for it to happen that way, especially since I went out for lunch here with my Mom, but when it happened it was pretty overwhelming.

I ordered Les Merguez…More »

Dare dine four blocks from Main & Hastings and you'll be surprised, delighted and rewarded by Two Chefs and a Table. The small room is open and bright with white walls, dark tables and glittery crystal chandeliers. The kitchen is a very open concept…More »

I've always had to line up to get fed at this place, but one of their many "rules" is that "If you want to get served faster, make sure there's someone good looking in your party." I guess our tired, hungover, bed-headed selves didn't qualify!

You'll likely wait in line in a narrow hallway and have to squeeze against the wall as people try to exit the restaurant. But it will be worth it once you are seated and get to eat your brunch.

There are loads of choices on the menu. They specialize…More »

A brunch place that is licensed and has servers with a sense of humour. It's a wonderful thing.  Caesars were strong, short, well seasoned and delivered by a grinning server who asked "had a good night last night, did you?"

We did. And we had a great…More »

I love to have more weekend brunch options in Kits! The Shack also has an NFL Sunday Ticket, so football fans should be aware.

Breakfast was good, if on the pricey side. The breakfast bowl with chorizo and eggs was a delightful combo, and it had a…More »

If you're in Kits for brunch and the lines at Sophie's and Joe's are too long, this is a great back-up plan. I often make it my premier location. It has a nice interior: dark walls, big paintings, dark wooden furniture. Also, the music is pretty…More »

I am a big fan of brunch because I am a big fan of going out late and getting into trouble. When I need brunch, I NEED brunch. Sophie's does brunch and I enjoy their eggs benny and any egg dish that incorporates a side of black beans and guac. And…More »

Nicer than your average greasy-spoon, this is a fine neighbourhood all-day breakfast spot. It's bright, the coffee is sufficiently strong and they have a big menu to choose from.

Although it's an omelettery, I don't think the omelettes offer the best…More »

A Kits bar to keep in mind not only for cocktail hour. It also does brunch and wait times will be FAR shorter than those at Sophie's or Joe's. The breaky will cure your hangover just the same. It's nothing that really knocked my socks off, but…More »

Migz is a no-nonsense place to go to watch the game (whatever game that happens to be). If the Canucks are playing, the game will be on, and loud. You might not get much service if they're rushing the net.  The staff is friendly and very, very…More »
