Weekend Brunch Series – The Roof at Black + Blue (1032 Alberni St)

Black + Blue is a steakhouse on Alberni Street, owned by The Glowbal Group. One of restaurant’s most talked about feature is probably “The Roof”, which is Vancouver’s largest rooftop dining destination, accessible via elevator, on the third floor of the building. Despite the fall-going-on-winter season, the rooftop patio is under cover and heated so […]

Weekend Brunch Series – Homer St. Cafe & Bar

Inspired by a 1930’s French Bistro, this contemporary corner restaurant on the edge of Yaletown has a “new-vintage” feel to it.

Weekend Brunch Series – Cafe Media (556 Beatty Street)

Weekend Brunch Series – Habit Lounge (2610 Main Street)

This past weekend, I left the downtown core for a more affordable weekend brunch edition and ended up at Habit Lounge on Main and East Broadway. The interior of Habit is cozy, but not cramped or crowded. The setting reminds me of a diner with its U-shaped booth seating lining the wall – great for […]
