Few things make Vancouverites happier than a good brunch, so get ready to become thoroughly over-excited with the prospect of eight new ways to try your eggs this weekend.

Got a suggestion for a brand-new brunch you think deserves to be added to the map?

If you’re feeling indecisive then try brunch at Peruvian-flavovoured Chicha who have an impressively lengthy brunch list with something to please absolutely everyone from the gluten-free and vegetarian to ethically-sourced meat fans. Items include ceviche and seafood chowder plus Huevos Benedict on cassava root with zucchini and gluten-free corn cakes and buttermilk and sweet potato waffles with dulche de leche crema.
Probably the closest thing that Vancouver has to an Ibiza-style beach club vibe, the Shang’s patio is likely to be the place to be seen for the designer set who’ll adore the thumping beats and funky vibe of their summer Bubbles, Beats & Brunch season. Chef Monty Lau is fielding some genuinely inventive dishes including a Pandan waffle with caramalized pineapple, an orange flower yogurt sorbet with hibiscus and a contender for best fried chicken in the city too. Oh - and perfect for those with a sweet tooth - there is a hefty brunch-dessert section.
Heatmap regulars, Blacktail launched their brunch menu this week, go see what chef Jimmy Stewart and team have cooked up. Likely-looking items include a corned beef skillet with cheddar cheese, green onions and potato rosti and a crĂŞpe Genieve with strawberry, brie and mint.
Give your brunch a Caribbean flavour over at Calabash in Gastown with menu items including Caribbean Crab Cakes (a twist on eggs benedict, with house-made rock crab, saltfish and baby shrimp patties in place of an English muffin), Rise & Shine Roti and Salara French Toast. Keep that Caribbean theme going with breakfast cocktails like mimosas with soursop, guava and passion fruit and the Calabash Caesar which has a home-made pepper sauce and jerk spice.
Grab one of the high top table at Railtown’s hottest spot and enjoy the airy bright room as you dive into the Vancouver Urban Winery and Postmark Brewing’s delicious new kitchen. Brunch serves up some unexpected treats including a fresh San Marzano sauced-up meatball skillet and a chimichurri spiced steak and eggs plus cool brunch cocktails - try the mimosa made with cider.
It’s all about those southern American state specialities on Mamie’s brunch menu; settle down with Ron Oliver’s innovative cocktails (the Mimosa has passion fruit and the Caesar comes garnished with devilled egg and chorizo) and chow down on home-style dishes like the Kentucky Hot Brown with house-smoked confit turkey, tomato, crisp bacon and Mornay sauce, a Chicken Fried Steak with white bacon gravy, or keep it pleasingly ironic with a side of fruit and ricotta-heaped Freedom Toast.
The small but perfectly-formed menu over at K&M is winning fans in the Grandview-Woodlans area and beyond for their careful presentation and well-balanced flavours. Go with the killer benedicts or try something a little unusual like the Fisherman’s Eggs with tuna, cod, clams,bacon beer broth and fiddleheads.
Bringing comfort food to a new level with brunch items like Breakfast nachos and cornbread eggs benedicts, Hastings Sunrise favourites, Jackalope are making locals happy with drinks offers and skillet specials.
