By Jessica Grajczyk The premise: 1. Breakfast is my favourite meal. 2.  Nuba is my favourite restaurant in Vancouver.  I’m sure everyone is sick of my Nuba leg humping. 3.  I haven’t eaten eggs in over a month due to a vegan experiment. 4.  I am not familiar with traditional Lebanese breakfast. 5.  I’ve just [...]

By Jessica Grajczyk I had low expectations of Bon’s off Broadway’s breakfast, having heard the legends of the $2.95 all day breakfast special, which is great if economics are more important to you than extravagances such as nutrients or flavour.  I suppose you sometimes just don’t give a damn and need to shovel some good [...]

by Jessica Grajczyk On Sunday I awoke sans hangover to sunshine bouncing off the Coastal Mountains outside my window. I couldn’t resist the urge to grab my roomie out of bed, grab our bikes (provided they weren’t rusted to the porch after that hideous winter) and embark on a morning bike ride. We rode our [...]

by Jessica Grajczyk “I was hungry, but apparently I’m not a man,” he said, as he sheepishly poked at one of the five pancakes stacked on his massive plate. To be fair, he had polished off the three over medium eggs and four strips of bacon like a champ.  When his breakfast fit for a [...]

by Lauren Mote I will be the first one to admit that breakfast and brunch are my favourite parts of dining out, and naturally this is for a couple of reasons.

by Lauren Mote For those that are unfamiliar, The Wallflower took the place of Main St’s Aurora Bistro, and now serving morning fare in Mt. Pleasant neighbourhood. There was always something about the interior at Aurora Bistro that made me feel uncomfortable – whether it was just a simplistic, cold room; or that the it [...]

by Lauren Mote & Jessica Grajczyk An interesting thought crossed Poivre Media’s breakfast writer Jessica and I the other day. I had mentioned that in the interest of doing yet another riveting review of a brunch spot, and a Christmas brainstorming session for two writers, we decided doing a conversational review would be an interesting [...]

by Jessica Grajczyk As a breakfast expert, whenever I travel, it is my duty to try the quirkiest, kitschiest, most-loved-by-locals, non-franchised restaurant in which to enjoy breakfast and report back to you. I do this so you don’t have to strain your fingers by performing a pesky Google search looking for somewhere to fuel up [...]

by Jessica Grajczyk Breakfast has always been one of my favourite meals. I’m not one to eat a big breakfast everyday, and I’m just as likely as the next person to grab an apple on my way out the door to work, but I really cherish those weekends when my roommate and I roll out [...]
