    Poutine with beef short rib
    Karen M.

    On the way to Whistler we stopped for breakfast The food was amazing I had a breakfast wrap and we ordered the lemon meringue pancake at the suggestion of our waitress. OMG was it delish. Like wow. On our way back home we stopped for lunch we had porkbelly sandwich , a chicken club and poutine. Again at the recommendation of our waitress. Wow!! I have never had poutine this was killer with short rib added Highly recommend this place I would come often if I didn't love 1500 miles away in Los Angeles The service was exceptional and food outstanding.

    Eggs Benedict - Bacon, Spinach, Tomato, & Smashed Avocado
    Jason S.

    The food was good, I had the Eggs Benedict with Bacon, Spinach, Tomato, & Smashed Avocado, it was most good with well season hash browns, spinach, and tomato with crispy bacon. However, one minor annoyance was the english muffin was hard, otherwise, a delicious meal. The service was fast and friendly considering how busy the restaurant was. The restaurant had a rustic vibe a good and a good atmosphere to start your day off.

    Pulled pork
    Gabriel Y.

    Great place for brunch. Their restaurant has such a nice decor and a lot of options for breakfast. The waiter helped us out to choose one of the best options. Amazing customer service!!! My friend and I ordered pulled pork and salmon Bennies. They were so yummy. Salmon with the capers was my favourite one. Then, we got the Banoffee pancake and it was divine. Amazing place for breakfast, and don't forget to come earlier or you will wait in line.

    This place...there's something really special going on here. Either the owner is a professional chef with years of experience, or the people here have some natural gift for making a great dining experience. Let's start with the place. It's small but expands outside to a covered area, which is probably 60% larger than the core interior. Pretty smart. The ambiance is casual and homey. No complaints about anything inside--simple and logically laid out. The servers order on iPads and use Square, so you get contactless payment if you want. The servers were quick to greet us and took the order for our beverage of choice. The coffee was strong--perhaps a bit burnt tasting--but drinkable. My other half had tea, which is served in a proper teapot with loose-leaf tea--she loved it. The menu is just the right size without too many options. You have an array of Benedicts, omelettes, bowls, and a few traditional-style breakfast plates. There were many items with beef short rib, so I assumed it was some sort of House Specialty. I ordered the Beef Short Rib, Horseradish & Caramelized Onion Benedict. My other half ordered the Chorizo Sausage Hash. I noticed many of the same ingredients come in different forms. This is smart and another sign of a professional/smart restaurant operator. Both of our meals were quite delicious. My Beef Short Rib Benedict was outrageously good. The flavors were exceptional and surprising. The cook was perfect. I'm a fast eater, but when I love the food, I slow it waaaay down. My date was very surprised at how slowly I was eating and commented on the fact! Even more remarkable, when I stuck my fork into the other poached egg, after taking a long time to eat the first one, and the egg was still runny! How did they cook these so perfectly?! Nevertheless, the big story here are the flavors. Simply unexpected and delicious. I'm repeating this point because it's not really describable for me how good this Benedict tastes--the complexity is brilliant. I had a bite of the Chorizo, and it was also very, very good. Anyway, I often grade things on a curve, and for this sort of place I'd go 5 stars if it's better than the usual cafe. It if was possible to give this place 10 stars I would--it's simply that good! It's truly a find and a must-stop. If it wasn't for Yelp, I wouldn't have even known about it.

    Pancakes

    Hometown diner/cafe in remote area. Unique contemporary menu for breakfast and lunch. Plenty of staff and the restaurant is clean. We order the pancakes and French toast. Coffee is smooth and HOT! Would love to come back but I live 5000 miles from here.

    Lavender London Fog
    Lancelei H.

    I had an amazing breakfast at this restaurant before we headed out for our hikes for the day. I was so excited to eat that I only managed to take a photo of my lavender London fog, which btw is the best I've ever had! For brekkies, we both had The Usual. The service was excellent and the whole cafe looked quaint and cozy. Would definitely stop by again!

    The tasty Garden Hash !!
    Claire G.

    What an adorable cozy & welcoming little gem of a brunch spot in Brackendale. The food & drinks were delish too. Popped in for brunch on a weekday with no wait time and started with some delicious cappuccinos and lattes. Later, Hubby enjoyed a Bloody Mary . The menu is filled with tempting entrées, making it a challenge to select just one item. We settled on one of their vegetable hashes and it was also available with hollandaise sauce and a poached egg. So Fresh and tasty. But boy was I craving some of their waffles and pancakes. Next time for sure!

    Tomato, avo, spinach (no bacon) benny
    Natasha P.

    I ordered the tomato, spinach, avocado (no bacon because I can't eat bacon) benny on gluten free. The gluten free bread was not toasted; it was soggy. The potatoes were cold and not crispy. The hollandaise however was really flavourful - it had a hint of lemon in it. I just wish the bread was toasted and the hash browns were hotter and crispier. Overall it was decent. They do have 2 picnic tables in the front in case it gets too busy inside.

    Salmon egg Benny

    Yum!! We had a brunch here but need to warn you-- come early!!! There was a huge wait, albeit really quick turnaround, but if it's a rainy or snowy day, wouldn't be so great for you. The service was great and food came out as quick as can be! The waitress kept checking in on us and that's always a great thing. Their washrooms are located at the back of their building.

    We adored the excellent options, the cozy ambiance, and most of all, the exceptional food quality! We indulged in the Short Beef Bennys and the Breakfast Wrap, both served with crispy seasoned potatoes. Every bite was incredibly delicious!

    French toast
    Kai V.

    Absolutely amazing french toast great service didn't wait have to wait even on a busy day clean bathrooms no company

    Chorizo sausage hash
    Evan C.

    Awesome brunch place in Squamish. Very friendly, chill atmosphere, great attentive service, feels like a local spot. I had the chorizo sausage hash which was just delish. The poached egg was perfection - orange, just soft but not too runny, wonderful texture. Everything else - peppers, crispy potatoes, and the sausage itself - blends really well together, and the portion is great. Also had the chance to taste the short rib which is shredded - very tender. Would definitely come back.

    Veggie hash with added chimichurri tofu scramble.

    We went to Chameleons the other night for my birthday dinner and it exceeded our expectations in…read moreevery way. The service is friendly and attentive. The ambiance is warm and cozy. I started with the flavorful lemon merengue martini. Yum! The wine selection was pleasing, and we able to order both a chardonnay and a cabernet. My husband had the potato leek soup and I enjoyed the stuffed mushroom caps as our appetizers. They were both delicious! For dinner, he had the special of the day - stuffed chicken with Mashed potatoes and vegetables. The chicken was perfection and the mashed potatoes were incredible. I had the seafood crepe with garlic bread and vegetables. I'm so glad I tried this! It was rich and savory, without feeling too heavy. To finish things off, we shared the sticky date cake - a dessert that is a must-try. It's clear that they take great pride in their food, beverages and service. Other than recommending every item we ordered, I'd also suggest making a reservation ahead of time since this is a small restaurant. You won't be disappointed dining at Chameleons!

    I saw a review on Yelp and likewise decided to try this place. I was lucky to get a table, as the…read morerestaurant was nearly booked (5:30ish on a Thursday)! It is a small but charming venue, with comforting jazzy standards playing quietly in the background. Had a glass of BC wine and the crab cakes. They were not made with lump crab, but whatever binding they used was light enough and didn't get in the way of the flavor. Fully enjoyed my experience and felt very cared for, despite the busy atmosphere!
