At Kitsilano.ca, we love brunch.
That’s why we update our brunch coverage every few months. With short, cold, rainy days ahead of us, it’s the perfect time of year to linger over a warm and cozy brunch. Many of us have been to the usual brunch suspects (Aphrodite’s, The Oakwood, Sophie’s), so how about trying one of these five brunch spots in Kitsilano for a change?
1. Epicurean Caffe Bistro
