Not many people know that they do a brunch menu that is amazing! The Strawberry Brie French Toast can't be beat. There's limited seating, so try and get there early if you can.

Sightseeing
I recommend walking along the sea wall from Kits Beach all the way to Granville Island (30 mins) and then you can come back through the neighborhood or along 4th Ave which only takes 15 minutes.
Check out Agro Cafe on Granville Island - amazing chocolate chip cookies!
