Vancouverites have been enamoured by Market Jean-Georges Rose All Day Brunch Series. Executive Chef Nakano has given brunch classic his own unique twist such as the vegetarian Croque Monsieur that uses seared cauliflower instead of ham. At Rose All Day, there are no brunch mimosas, but instead choose from six different rose cocktails including the widely popular Rose Popsicle. A refreshing house-made fruit juice popsicle is paired with Ruffino sparkling champagne to create the drink of summer 2017.

Tucked along Alberni street is a decadent little patisserie called Thierry that offers a little taste of Paris to Vancouverites. Thierry strives to use only the best quality ingredients; therefore, their fresh blueberry and red berry tart often sell out as they are delicious. The locally sourced berries are full of flavour and perfectly sweet pairing well with the pastry cream and almond sable crust. As berry season comes to an end, the these fresh tarts will only be available for a few more weeks before they are gone till the next berry season.

With rainy days just around the corner, it is imperative that everyone takes advantage of the sun-filled Vancouver days. Rosewood Hotel’s stunning garden terrace restaurant, Reflections, has dazzled diners with their refreshing summer cocktails like the watermelon smash and the turquoise coloured Reflections Blue Ice Tea. Take your squad for a glamourous weekend brunch and indulge in fancy Avocado Toast that is topped with house made sun-dried tomato kalamata olive tapenade, pickled shallots and arugula. After September 10, Reflections will only be open for dinner service, so if you are wanting to try their summer brunch and lunch menus, you still have time.
