La Régalade – French Onion Soup

We’ve been to La Régalade before and enjoyed our visit (see our previous post) but we don’t always find ourselves out in West Van too often.  Fortunately, they open for brunch (Fri, Sat, Sun @ 11:30am) so we dropped by on the weekend last November.  It was empty when we first arrived but got busier as noon approached.

The Bakehouse in Dundarave – Breakfast in West Van

Why do we keep coming back to The Bakehouse in Dundarave?  Haven’t you seen The Dog’s Breakfast and the Posh Smoked Salmon Brunch that they serve?  If that isn’t enough to make your mouth water, just sit right back and take a gander at some of these other fine dishes that they offer.

Dundarave Fish Market

Dundarave Fish Market is not just a fish market… it’s also a restaurant.  We found ourselves in the neighbourhood late one day and decided to stop by for dinner.  When the fish market is closed, they expand the restaurant by placing tables in front of the fish counter/display. 

Beachside Forno – Brunch

Beachside Forno is a spacious restaurant located in West Vancouver just steps away from Ambleside Beach.  Although it looked pretty sunny outside, we decided against the patio since it was October and a wee bit chilly in the air.

La Régalade French Bistro

I’ve been thinking about trying out La Régalade for a long time but West Vancouver is a bit far for us to travel on a regular day.  Luckily, they’ve started to open on Sundays so we came by for an early dinner.

Cindy’s

Cindy’s is a small little diner/café located near Trafiq on Marine Drive in West Vancouver.  They were pretty busy on a Saturday morning so they must be doing something right.

The Bakehouse in Dundarave – Posh Smoked Salmon Brunch

We were up in the Dundarave area early one morning but had some trouble finding somewhere to eat.  We were originally going to try the Dundarave Fish Market but, when we walked in, they told us the restaurant side wasn’t open until 11am so we trodded back down the block to try out The Bakehouse in Dundarave again.

Savary Island Pie Company

While I’ve never been much of a pie-eater before (I’m more of a cake-person), I have to admit that my interest in pies peaked while watching Pushing Daisies a few years ago.  In that show, Ned, the main character (who has the unique ability to bring people back to life – with possible dire consequences) runs a place call The Pie Hole.

Thai Express (Park Royal) – Chicken Noodle Soup

Okay, this isn’t a big review… see our last visit to Thai Express (Park Royal) for more details.  On this recent visit, we tried one of their massive noodle soup bowls with chicken.

The Truffle House & Cafe – Weekend Brunch

The Truffle House & Cafe is a popular little boutique restaurant/coffee shop located in Dundarave in West Vancouver that serves a combination of French, Italian, and West Coast specialties.  There aren’t that many seats so it can get pretty busy… especially during brunch.

Milestones (West Van) – Pear and Coconut Pancakes

Brunch.  What is it about brunch that makes it so awesome?  On a Sunday morning, who really wants to wake up early to have a great breakfast?  By the time we’re up and about, it’s a bit too late for breakfast and too early for lunch.

We were running some errands the other day and went looking for somewhere to pick up a bite but we noticed that a lot of restaurants weren’t open yet so we decided to drop by Milestones for brunch.

Salmon House on the Hill – West Coast Feast

What time is it?  It’s time for a West Coast Feast at the Salmon House on the Hill.  Until the end of the month, the Salmon House is offering up a 3-course dinner for $29.95
