Wake up and taste something egg-citing and new... There are a few places in Vancouver with fresh brunch offerings worth getting up and at 'em for this summer.
You'll find Bennies to brighten your day, sweet treats, and plenty of perfect drinks. Enjoy your brunch on a waterfront patio, or with a DIY Mimosa set, or every darn day of the week. Check out these five restaurants in Vancouver with beautiful new brunches to start your day off right.
Cibo Trattoria
When the weekend comes around, Cibo's new exec chef Jesse Zuber has infused some fun into brunching thanks to a set of Italian-influenced dishes, inspired by Italy's bountiful regions and priced at a cheers-worthy $15 each. Look for a Ciabatta French Toast, poached eggs on crabcakes, and The Sicilian (spicy Italian sausage with a fried egg on beans, with melty cheese, tomatoes, and arugula) and more, as well as fun bevvies, like a sweet DIY Mimosa set that comes with a bottle of Prosecco and a flight of fresh juices. The resto is also pouring their take on a Canadian classic, their Moda Caesar, and a sweet Brunch Affogato. Brunch at Cibo is served weekends from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is available for dine-in only.
