Who doesn't love brunch? A cozy nook that serves all day brunch, Twisted Fork Bistro has made a name for itself in the city as one of the best places to go for brunch. Open from 8-3 every day, Twisted Fork serves up brunch classics like frittata and eggs benny with fresh ingredients and a twist. My family and I went on a weekday morning to celebrate my parents' wedding anniversary. Each of the main food items are $14.50 (and that's tax included!), and you have a choice of wide variety of breakfast and lunch items. We had the Chorizo Frittata, Banana stuffed brioche French Toast, Eggs Benny with Maple sausage and a Croque Monsieur, which is a ham and Gruyere cheese sandwich with their homemade tomato dipping sauce. Everything was delicious and came out relatively quick. The restaurant is very cozy and intimate, with a lot of couches and soft throw pillows. Its's kind of like eating brunch at your own house, but way cooler. The one thing you want to watch out for is the fact that because of the small size of the restaurant and it's popularity, the wait can be upwards of an hour for a table. Twisted Fork does not take reservations, so definitely keep that in mind if and when you go. Having said that, Twisted Fork has delicious brunch food that is worth the wait.

True to it's name, Nook on Vancouver's West End is a small little Italian restaurant that is cozy and filled with amazing scents. One of the few Italian places that are on my foodie bucket list, Nook offers share plates with authentic Italian flavours. With a brick oven sitting at the back of the restaurant, the drinks and the food at Nook were delicious! Eugenia and I had Bellinis (peach puree and Prosecco) to celebrate her birthday, and then shared a plate of gnocchi (first time for me!) and ricotta pizza, with baby spinach and olives. The dinner that we had was fantastic, and the flavours and service exceeded my expectations as well. I will definitely suggest showing up to dinner a little earlier, just because of how small the restaurant is. After a certain hour, it does get quite crowded and the lineups to get in are quite lengthy. There is a second location on Kitsilano as well, so if you are a fan of Italian food, give Nook a try and remember to get in early! |
