Love this place. The food is great, atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed. staff are usually friendly, although the last time i went an older female waitress was unpleasant. The only poor dish I have tried here is the french toast with blueberries, do not order this dish, EVER. all other dishes are great and the in house banana bread is a definite must. i have been here at least 10 times in the last two yrs. The food quality and friendlier staff keeps me loyal. read more

this place has delicious brunch! very polite, helpful and awesome staff. ethical ingredients.

Went there on a weekday for brunch, and there was only a party of 3 waiting for some table to be cleaned up, and a couple who just happened to walk ahead of me, and they got sitted right away. When the hostess came back I told her table for 2, and she said it will be a moment cause she needs to clear the table for the party of 3. And after they got sitted, I have no idea where she went, and we could see 3 available tables. We waited and waited, still did not see her anywhere; we then left. Catch 122, your hostess is too slow. I don't see anyone really watching the staff. Or if there was, they don't seem to pay attention to ppl waiting at the door and empty tables that could have been filled out faster. read more

i can't get over the $5 mimosa, a sunday special. the food was amazing & the service from all their staff is awesome. highly recommend the duck prosciutto, it's super! read more

Went here for Brunch on the weekend. There was no wait at 10am by they certainly got extremely busy not long after that. I had the Chorizo Hash with Potatoes and Kale. It was delicious, I only wish it were a slightly bigger portion. My friend enjoyed his Pulled Pork Sandwich and the banana bread bites they gave at the start were also delicious. I had been wanting to try this place for a while now and it didn't disappoint. read more

AMAZING food!!! Was there tonight w/family. First time & definitely time & time again. Have to go for brunch too, heard food was fab also! Ordered a whole bunch of appies to start with. From brioche to roasted carrots to crispy octopus. The crispy octopus had to one of the best appies they have on the menu. Had to put in another order. These are all meant for sharing. Mains were so worth the price. Flat iron steak to die for. Drink menu, can't go wrong. Bliss was a taste of the italian coffee that was ordered. What a perfect ending to a glorious dinner. read more

Best egg benedict in vancouver! Cooking was perfect so the yolk melts over the whole thing! Potatoes and salad were great too!

This place was phenomenal! I'm from Seattle and came here on Valentine's Day for dinner. We were immediately greeted and welcomed as we walked in the door by a gentleman who turned out to be the owner. They were offering a 6 course, small plate, dinner menu and we decided to share and it was the perfect amount of food. Every plate had beautiful presentation and tasted even better. The gnocchi was fantastic!! What I enjoyed most was the ease of service and atmosphere. Some restaurants rush you along your meal and it feels pushy. Our server, Devin, was attentive but never pushy and gave excellent recommendations. I would go back here any time I come back to Vancouver to visit. read more

Great place for weekend brunch or lunch. I've never had a problem getting a table so long as you show up before 11. It's a fairly large space with high ceilings, so even when the place is full, it never feels cramped. Everything we've had on the menu has been great, and the service is always friendly. read more

The place is very nice and so are the workers. I got the egg bendict with the salmon and it was my first time eating an egg bendict. It was a very good meal, but I thought the hashbrown would have more taste. Overall, Catch 122 is a good place to have meal at. read more

Our family of four stopped in for breakfast and were all very happy with what we got. The waffles are light and crispy, with a lovely citrus touch through the whipped cream. My favorite was the eponymous Catch 122 -their smoked salmon was delicious. Croissant was a little over baked, but otherwise a fantastic sandwich. Our server was funny, polite and prompt - a good way to start our day. read more

Cocktails brought us here, but tapas menu was delicious. Service was excellent. Fried chicken was tender and juicy. Mussels were tasty.

Came here on a Wednesday at 11, and no wait time. Got seated right away, with plenty of other open tables at this time. Service was friendly and prompt. Ordered the braised beef short rib eggs Benedict and I was impressed at how much beef they loaded on top of the english muffin, and how tender it was! The hollandaise sauce was really good. For items priced $12-13 on their brunch menu, I would definitely come back! read more

My husband and I drove here from Tsawwassen on Saturday morning to have our favourite brunch - classic eggs benny with their yummy roasted potatoes. Neither are on the menu now! In fact the classic benny has been off for awhile but they would always make it for me. they still have some variants of benny with chow chow (pickled cabbage) salsa verde and bbq sauce (really?) For a place that paid homage to the pig in many forms, roasting and bbquing and smoking their own, now they don't even have the "fixins" nor the potatoes! The potatoes have given way to mixed greens (i call them lawn clippings blech!), the hollandaise barely covered the eggs. There is no basket of baked goods to order like the biscuits. No little banana bread cubes while you wait for your food.The owner doesn't know that regulars like their favourites just the way they are. Change up other things on the menu but it is almost unrecognizable now. Not everyone wants avocado toast and cauliflower bites.There was no lineup today and perhaps we know why. Maybe it was the rain or christmas shopping but time will tell and maybe he will figure that out when there arent lineups anymore. We will search for a better place. so sad not to enjoy this place anymore. Suggestions anyone for good eggs benny? read more

I went here for brunch with friends; nice space, the food and service were fine, but nothing exceptional. I had the Gastown Classic (eggs, potatoes, beans, salad, bacon), and was surprised at how little bacon came with my meal, two tiny strips. Put together those two tiny strips would have made one average size strip of bacon. I think if you're going to make the bacon portion that small, you should just refer to it as condiment. Seriously. read more

terrific breakfast, charming service, high fives all round

Amazing food and the eggs Benny is so good that I contemplate whether proposing to my food would be awkward. I'm sure that the flavors would have a healthy relationship with my mouth :) I would recommend heading here early to avoid the crowds and for faster service. read more

This is my first time to Catch 122 and I have heard people complementing about their brunch, but this time I was going for their dinner. Their cocktails are pretty good. The beef carpaccio is something i would recommend. The mussels and fries needs a little more favour. The fried chicken is special just because of the peach sauce. I will say the overall experience is ok. read more

After all the good reviews I saw about this restaurant I decided to try their brunch today. My husband and I had the croissant cured salmon and a basket of fresh baked good. The croissant didn't taste fresh neither the "fresh" baked good. Overall it was ok and we were dissapointed after all the good reviews. read more

Amazing food, service, and feel. Wasn't a big fan of brunch but that certainly changed after hitting up Catch 122.

Good service and good food. Definitely will be returning. It is a nice spot for a Sunday morning with friends.

Friend highly recommend it...went by to try ...starting from the rude sitting hostess ..I can hear her yelling n being rude to people lining up.....waiter was ok and I i order breakfast .... very disappointed on the breakfast ...dry dry dry and cold. Cold cold Ii will never go back and will not recommend ... read more

Great casual yet upscale atmosphere, and attentive service. I loved the food (we did a "pig out" night so we had many different and unique dishes. For quality of the food, the prices were very reasonable. read more

Amazing food. Stood outside a different breakfast place for a long time and decided to walk here. Very unique tastes and authentic. Wish there was one in Washington! read more

good place for brunch close to downtown has some really good specials fresh ingredients and nicely put together

A couple friends and I decided last minute to go out for dinner on Friday night. Knowing Vancouver a lot of our favourites would have very few tables available. Hopped onto opentable and saw this place had availability so we decided to take a chance. When we arrived our table was ready and we got a great table by the window. The space was very open and spacious, it was nice not to be cramped in a restaurant with too many tables. Cocktails: Had the "Mar-Tea-ni," an earl grey gin and egg white based cocktail. It was delicious! My 2nd cocktail was a special that night, forgot the name, it had peach puree and mint, and I think tequilla, it was also great - tasted like a peach mojito. Appetizer: My friends and I shared The Platter ($30): Korean Style Hot & Sweet Fried Chicken on a bed of kale kimchi, Hot Smoked Salmon with dill creme fraiche, House-Cured Meat, Pork Terrine, House-Made Ricotta with a balsamic reduction, featured poutine: Pork Belly Poutine, Pickled Green Beans & Beets, Brioche, Crostinis, and Crackers. This was an AMAZING value! The quality of everything was spectacular, real great quality and care went into everything and it was sooo tasty. If I had to pick my favourite components of the platter they would have to be: the indulgent pork belly poutine (although the sear on the pork belly could've been a little deeper), and the Korean Fried Chicken on the very innovative Kale Kimchi. The appetizer is a good amount of food for 3 people that aren't terribly hungry. Entree: Since we were kinda full we decided to opt to share 1 entree (Flat Iron Steak with rutabaga purée, potato gratin, and red wine caper jus $22), Ricotta Gnocchi with pickled mushroom, black pepper, and parmesan $9, and we couldn't help but order a 2nd portion of the Fried Chicken on kale kimchi $6. These prices were a steal! The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare, the rutabaga puree velvety, the gnocchi soooooo pillowy and the combination of pickeled mushrooms was perfect. Seasoning was spot on for all the dishes, with the exception of the gnocchi which was just needing a touch more salt. The 2nd round of Fried Chicken did not disappoint. Dessert: If you know me, I always have room for dessert. I ordered the Almond Cake with green apple compote, house-made salted caramel ice-cream, and thyme. The cake was served warm, and you could tell it was freshly baked. It had a nice crust and a very tender crumb. Salted caramel ice-cream has never really been my thing. It often can be too cloyingly sweet or salty. This one was spot-on, you could tell it was salted caramel but it didn't take away from the delicate almond cake. The green apple compote, wasn't really a compote, it was just a brunoise of green apples, but it worked - it added a fresh component to the dessert. Lastly the addition of thyme was genius, slightly floral and made this dessert very unique. My friend however did not care for the tthyme. My friend's Lemon Parfait which was composed of lemon curd, graham crunch, vanilla cream served in a mason jar was just alright. He liked it but I didn't think it was innovative as the Almond Cake. For $8 each you couldn't go wrong. Service: Our server was a very sweet guy. He was attentive, and when he was busy he would send a colleague over to check on us. There were a few large parties going on that night so paying for the bill took some time as all the portable debit/credit machines were being used but it wasn't a major issue at all. Food and drinks came out in a timely manner, and any hiccups that may have been encountered were easily masked by the delicious food. Return?: ABSOLUTELY! There aren't many restaurants in Vancouver that take reservations during prime-time on weekends so this is a definite plus. And I can almost guarantee you that I'll be ordering the Fried Chicken again - as long as they still have it. read more

great brunch... perhaps the best waffles in town... tasty creative food... very delicious...

I felt like i had stepped into Rivendell..............the folk that work there just kept giving me shivers, i have not seen manners and oldfashioned knightliness like that since living on Hornby...........there really just IS something about them all..............each one is a paladin unto himself...........it was that first, the way one is treated as they are the only customer there........then i ordered a simple coffee and again, i was just so impressed at the class of presentation............white china, lovely shapes, served with a bow.............and the taste just made me cry.........i would have been happy with just the coffee, but each dish i saw had something from the olde world in it...........i just kept getting feelings of ancient ingredients, brought into this world by a majician..............i had the omelette with the wierd and wonderful mushrooms that tasted like the forest, how can this be, who oversees the ingredients, who is the artist that creates each dish................who hires all these glorious light beings to work there bringing cherishing to the community..............all i can say is, i am dying to meet him and find out what his beautiful soul is like...............see you all for lunch................blessed be you read more

very poor service. we made reservations and patiently waited for someone to acknowledge at the door, as it looked like they were understaffed. after 20 mins with not even eye contact, we saw a few empty tables and wanted to know if we could be seated. we politely approached a waiter about it who was quick to respond with a "they're reserved" without even asking if we had any reservations. Needless to say, we left. read more

Was here last night for their Dine Out menu and had a fan-freaking-tastic-tasting time with my friend. Our reserved table was ready the moment we stepped in the door, our server was attentive throughout the meal - always checking in with us at each course, each plate arrived right on time, and most importantly - the food was delicious! Portions were on point, and I found to be the menu with the best value overall in terms of size and taste for $28. I had the winter veggie soup, braised beef, and coffee pot de creme and was seriously impressed with every one of the dishes and as was my friend. The little things often make the biggest difference, especially when it comes to customer service so when one the co-owner introduced himself to our table after our meal, inviting questions, and telling us the Catch 122 story, we were duly impressed! It didn't come across as fake or contrived, and we appreciated that he was the first person to greet us when we walked in and the last person when we walked out. A friend of mine who visited the place for brunch a few months ago also had one of the owners appear table-side to answer questions about the food and the restaurant. NICE. The whole Gastown neighborhood was stirring that night with Dine-out foodies desperate to get in their last few Dine-out meals before the weekend ends but we never felt rushed or stressed amidst the neverending stream of foodies and hot plates and busy servers passing our table. Would love to come back for brunch soon! read more
