    A beautiful awesome day, amazing people of the world. Today we are at Twisted Fork in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. We're coming in for some good brunch cause you know, me and the crew gotta eat before heading up to whistler for some shred sesh. I ordered the shakshuka which was an ovolacto vegetarian option. Something that I usually gravitate to whenever I see it on the menu. A play of sweet, savory and acidic paired up with the pita bread is destruction my friend. Then there's the French toast which was perfect. The fruits were spot on with the ripeness and the toast had great flavor and texture. Not overly sweet as well. Anywho, we had an awesome time smashing away at the food here. I highly recommend coming here for brunch if you guys are in the area. If you like discovering new spots to smash, hit that follow button, gimme that UFN as well. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps you with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day! I love you!

    Great little breakfast place in Gastown with seating inside and out. Breakfast cocktails, strong breakfast options, people watching and a friendly waitstaff make it a worthwhile destination. The stuffed French toast serving size was too much for this mere mortal but every bite was scrumptious. My companions cleared their plates too. The only sorta suggestion I would levy would be to offer some sort of protein to counter all the sweetness in the French toast.

    Uniquely designed brunch recipes are amazing in taste. Both sweet & savoury options are available. Menu is not so vast but serves the purpose of a brunch restaurant. Both alcoholic & non alcoholic drinks are available but in coffee only French press option is available. Atmosphere of this place is unmatchable. Most desiring location under the sun and in the city's most happening area. There is indoor seating as well. Staff is great too. We ordered French toast which was definitely a big portion served with some fruits n maple syrup but so delicious. Our other dish was savoury topped with perfectly poached eggs served with a naan bread , olives & some hummus.

    Grabbing brunch and saw this had high ratings so we slipped in. This is located in the Gastown district which means street parking. The area is very walkable and a high tourist area as well. Seating is limited but they do a great job with the space they have. The menu is limited and the main dishes are a little pricey but I will tell you they are worth it. I was more than full when I left. I ordered the Eggs Benny with bacon and it also comes with spinach, hash browns and baked beans. The hash browns were crispy on the outside and creamy alarmist buttery on the inside. Great flavor. The beans have a Smokey BBQ flavor to them. I not normally a baked bean person but I definitely ate about half of theses. The main portion was amazing. Perfectly toasted Brioche with length of perfectly cooked bacon topped with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. The yolk break was so satisfying and the bread to dip-ability was perfect. My boyfriend ordered the French toast and I took a couple bites and it yelled bananas. It was so tasty. Also the French press coffee was so smooth. The staff was quick and polite. Fast to turn over tables as people finished up which was needed for the line that was starting to form. We will be recommending this place to friends who visit here for sure! The decor is super cute and it he place of very clean.

    Sad I wasted a meal in Canada on this place. I decided to check this place out due to the high yelp and google reviews, but I regret it. There are 4 brunch options for $25 CAD. Not worth it. The service is good, but the cooks handling of the food makes me want to gag. I think this food gave me the runs. The cooks are sweating, wiping their sweat, and making your food. Wish I could go back in time and skip this place.

    One of the many super cute decorations!

    This is an amazing spot for brunch! Tasty food and really cute and cozy vibe. My friends and I arrived with a party of six and it took less than ten minutes to get us seated... not sure if we lucked out but the wait never looked very long! I got the Eggs Benny with salmon and it was amazing and the Asiago scones are a MUST! If you order coffee, it comes to your table in a French press which you get to press & my tea drinkers got a cute little tea pot! You've gotta check out this spot when you're in Vancouver!

    I've only been to Twisted Fork for dinner at their old location on Granville so I was excited to try their brunch. I love the space here! It's so bright and the decor is very interesting. The Banana stuffed brioche French toast came with 3 giant pieces of bread! The vanilla whipped cream was really good! The bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The Shakshuka was a flavourful mixture of eggplant, tomato and onion. It came with house made pita bread, tahini and salad. All their brunch items are $23.50.

    We found Twisted Fork in Yelp since we wanted to do brunch today. It's located at the end of Gastown, and at about 10:30am, we had to wait for just a little bit (5-ish minutes) for a table. We drinks we had the mimosa, Frenchie's Lemonade and the white Sangria. Honestly they were okay - next time I could get the drinks, or pass on them. For our meal my husband ordered the Croque Monsier. It was really good - savory and warm. But it is a very heavy dish - but he still ate most of it! I took a chance on a new dish for me - the Shakshuka. I loved it! The tomato base has a tiny bit of a kick and all the produce in it was very tasty. The poached eggs were perfectly made and a beautiful marigold color. My son ordered the Smoked Salmon Benny, and he ate the entire dish. It also had the perfectly poached and beautiful eggs. This was a great brunch, and I know on our next trip to Vancouver we'll have this one the list to go to.

    The Shakshuka $18.50
  Bacon Eggs Benny $18.50

    Visited Twisted Fork for brunch with a few of my girlfriends and we enjoyed our visit. The food was delicious and the coffee was amazing. There's usually a long line up but because we went 5 minutes after opening we were able to skip the crowd. The Shakshuka $18.50 Bacon Eggs Benny $18.50 French Press Coffee $4.00 **Prices include applicable taxes Service was 10/10 Food was 10/10 Parking was 6/10 (It's really hard to find parking)

    One of the best breakfast restaurants near the edge of Gastown and Chinatown. We stumbled on this popular eatery on our way to Vancouver's Chinatown. Best time to go just before 9am otherwise there can be a long lineup. Order their organic pancakes...a lot of vegan choices! Limited seating. $-$$. No reservations, parking in the streets.

    First time at twisted fork and had the best brunch experience. Servers were attentive and friendly. The portions were huge, very filling and delicious. I love me some condiments and twisted fork's homemade MANGO jam and homemade hot sauce....was amazing.

    Quaint little place in Gastown. Came in on our last morning in town for breakfast. Started with a pot of French Press coffee. That was kinda neat, as I've never had coffee that way before. Ordered the baked eggs and Gruyère cheese, It was good, but came to life when the waiter brought over a bottle of their O's hot sauce. Ended up buying a bottle of that stuff to take home! Can't remember the name of the dish my daughter had, but it was very Mediterranean, and very good. All-in-all, very well done.

Don't dig in right when it is served. Give the fries a chance to soak up the juicy gravy. Trust me, waaaait! It's hands down the best poutine. The cheese is a secret blend. Delectable! The service is top notch. Again, we look forward to returning.

They also have a bar area. Kind of an Asian French fusion menu. Food dishes were good and creative, but it didn't really appeal to me. I appreciated the good service and chill atmosphere, but not sure if I would come back. I would say that their house made spicy was really good. A mix of sweet, sour, and spicy. Had a brightness to it yet also very, very spicy. Tastes great on many of the dishes, especially if you wanted a nice "kick" to the food. I believe you can order a jar to take home if you wish.

The space is much nicer, with high ceilings and lots of light - great looking bistro. I ended up trying the following: - Mussels: Very good.

A nice little snack, although it would be easy to recreate at home. - Lamb Chops: Very good. Cooked just right, and the pepper sauce added extra flavour. - Fried Frog Legs: Very good. This was probably the surprise dish for me. They weren't just the legs, but the entire bottom of the frog, so the pieces were huge. The garlic, butter and chili flakes gave it a extra punch. I really enjoyed this one. - Pho Bo: Good. Not the best pho I've had, but it's good enough to stand on it's own. Service was quite good. Very cheerful and quite attentive. Overall a nice meal. It's a great space, the food is solid, and service to match. What I really like is having the variety of both French and Vietnamese dishes, without either of them suffering in quality. Only downside is that is it expensive for what you get.

The front of the house/bar area seems to be more vibrant colours with the bright pop of red which ties into the rugs in the main dining area. I'd probably remove the second rug but if I had to guess, I'd say red may be Feenie's favourite colour as it is a touch out of place. With Michelin stars making their debut in Vancouver only a few years ago, it seems that perhaps Le Crocodile may be gunning for a star as much of the Lower Mainland seems to be. The level of service is excellent; friendly and speedy, everything you could ever want. The food is elevated but has more non-french or fusion themes going on than before. The foie gras terrine topped with cherries is the perfect combo of sweet and creamy; the brioche really brings it home. The French onion soup is gooey and rich with depth of flavour however the cheese had a bit too much of a smoky burnt taste as opposed to a charred broil. The dover sole was perfectly de-boned at table side and my mouth was watering while watching. It could've used a touch more seasoning but other than that the sides made it so elegantly French that it brought tears to my eyes. I could have done with a touch less beurre blanc as it was almost on the verge of drowning the beautiful dover sole. The presentation of Le Crocodile's dishes are truly Michelin level. I thoroughly enjoyed the medium-rare veal with what seemed to be home-made pasta and the sauce that raised it to the next level. Desserts were great and although the mini chocolates at the end are no longer in a crocodile shape they do have a decorative gold crocodile made by no other than Thomas Haas which brings in the local vibes. There were tiny things such as the scratched bread plates, the loose tea on the tea pot lid, and a small fibre in the menu which are going to be the very difference between staying at this high level and gaining a star that will need to have more attention to detail. With all that said, I'd still recommend anyone who loves French cuisine to make sure to stop by this spot.

It has always been a restaurant we could rely on for exceptional food, outstanding service, and an unforgettable view. Once again, the staff accommodated us with a fantastic table, and we sincerely appreciate their hospitality. Unfortunately, we arrived unaware that the restaurant had introduced an entirely new menu. The concept is a significant departure from its previous offerings, moving toward a more modern, nouvelle cuisine style with elements of fusion and a tasting-menu approach. We decided to stay with an open mind and give the new direction a fair chance. One aspect we found confusing was the menu itself. It displayed pricing only for the three- and four-course prix fixe options, along with a tasting menu, but no à la carte prices. When we inquired, we were told that à la carte ordering was available, although the explanation felt somewhat reluctant and did not make for the best first impression. We ultimately chose the three-course dinner. While the food was well prepared and flavorful, the value was among the poorest we have experienced at a fine dining restaurant. For example, one main course consisted of two small strips of Wagyu beef (approximately 2-3 ounces), a few dollops of foam, and a single asparagus floret. The other main courses were similarly modest in portion, and the appetizers were little more than a few bites. To the restaurant's credit, the service remained exceptional throughout the evening. The staff were attentive, friendly, and professional, maintaining the high standard we have always associated with this establishment. Our biggest disappointment was not the quality of the food, but the overall value and direction of the dining experience. The emphasis now seems to be on artistic presentation and culinary theatrics rather than delivering a satisfying meal that justifies the price. While some diners may appreciate this style of dining, it simply did not meet our expectations based on our many previous visits. This experience was a reminder that even long-time favorites can change significantly. In the future, we'll be sure to review the menu before making a reservation. Sadly, despite many wonderful memories here, this visit left us disappointed, and we do not plan to return.
