Non-Diner Brunch

This city has some amazing spots for brunch- Monki, Diner Deluxe, Over Easy, Dairy Lane- which are great if you're not in a hurry and don't mind waiting in line (or if you can sneak in on a weekday). Typically, when we decide to go out, we're already starving and want to get in as soon as we can. Here are a few great brunch and breakfast alternatives for those times you need food and a mimosa STAT.

Ox and Angela- they have an incredible breakfast tasting menu as well as a la carte items. I'd recommend the olive oil chocolate chip pancakes. I dream of those and their french press coffee!

Cassis Bistro- we checked out this cute french bistro a few weeks ago and fell in love with it. If you're willing to be really indulgent, their rosé cocktail and croque madame should not be missed!

Cucina (closed on Sunday)- The wild BC mushrooms & poaches eggs on toast is everything. I ate it too fast to take a photo!

All three spots take reservations which makes brunching even easier. Enjoy!
