Great food, service and wine. Would highly recommend. The bison carpaccio. The local wine is worth it. Both the salmon and cod or excellent entrées. read more

Weekend AYCE brunch? You don't have to tell me twice! And as long as we're being gluttonous, we might as well order drinks too! We got a couple of the mimosa flights, which were so nicely presented and delicious too. Must gets: - Braised pork cheeks: So tender and delicious! The creamy polenta paired so well with the savory pork, and the pickled onions on top helped balance out all that richness. - Buttermilk biscuits: We kind of turned our noses up at this one when our server recommended this. So glad on round 3 that we orders them. The honey butter is frickin' fantastic and the biscuits were really crispy. - Croque madame: Awesome! - Short rib poutine: When in Canada...we got this on round one and wanted to grab a second serving it was so good. Unfortunately, we were too stuffed to order that second serving. - Ooey gooey skillet: So decadent! The perfect sweet ending to all the savory. If you have room: - Jerk fried chicken: I was excited for this one, but it was probably the most disappointing. The dark meat chicken was nice and moist, but the breading was overly fried. The funnel cake was hard and dry. - Liege waffle: Eh, ok. - Smoked salmon benedict: Average. Nothing super special here. - BC berry basket smoothie: Average smoothie. Pass on the: - Migas breakfast taco: Boring compared to other items. - Meat and potatoes: Sausage and bacon were fine. Oooh, but the ham was very dry. The three of us did pretty good working our way through the menu, but had to call it quits leaving the granola parfait, avocado toast, traditional benedict and harvest grain bowl. We noticed with the exception of the smoked salmon benedict, there wasn't any seafood on the menu. No time limit, but last call is at 2pm. I initially made my reservation for 1:30pm, which would have been a total bummer if we hadn't arrived early and were able to be seated at 12:30pm! Good service at the start, but kind of slowed down at the end when my hot water refill and avocado toast was forgotten. For CAD $65/pp, it's a little steep just because we can't pack it away. I would love to come back if they had some of my must gets available a la carte. read more

Since the Fairmont Pacific Rim only offered breakfast in the Botanist and we were interested in mimosas we decided to walk down to Arc and eat there. I was a little interested as the hostess informed people that they had no available tables for brunch and if they could eat in an hour they could sit for breakfast. We were the only ones to agree to those terms. We were seated and ordered quickly. I opted for the pancakes and was very happy with them. They were soft with slight crispy edges, not too big, not too small, had excellent fruit and even better maple syrup. We ordered cranberry juice mimosas and that was excellent. They were well balanced and quite lovely. What was funny was when our waitress asked if we wanted a second round we looked at the time and said we understood we had to leave in a couple minutes so no thank you. She checked the reservations and told us that there was no worries, we could stay as long as we liked. As we drank our second round the restaurant remained fairly empty. When we finished our third round and we're leaving, a good 90 minutes after we sat, it was just starting to pick up. I couldn't see why the other two parties that had been turned away as both were a couple of adults each. It was a great meal tho! read more

ARC is an amazing dinner experience! The oysters are fresh and sweet, the linguini was pretty nice, and the steak was well cooked. The cocktails are what truly won me over. We tried 2 of their winter cocktails and also the into the woods. All of them are winners and I would be happy with any of them. The servers here are amazing too. Their weekend brunch is very interesting but we weren't able to try it this time since we didn't make a reservation ahead of time. read more

Service was great and attentive. Checked up on us from time and time and was always ready to take our next order. Great timing. Also gave us macarons since we were celebrating our anniversary. The food was rich in flavor. Everything in the pictures was split between my bf and I. I was so full but I really enjoyed the dishes. My top 3 would be the buttermilk biscuits, the ooey gooey skillet and braised lamb. Bone marrow was fine enjoyed it but didn't need to get multiples of it. It's great that they have a variety. I don't think it's something to come back to. But definitely something to experience. Great view from our table. Also, it didn't get too loud even if busy. They were playing some nice Christmas music in the background. Enjoyed my brunch here! read more

Honestly this should be a 5 Star hot spot! Ambiance, location, setting, decor, super high ceiling, spaciousness, cool music playing overhead, attractive bar, ARC should be on everyone's radar but alas due to the current times ... hmmmmm!? Have Shazam ready, cause I downloaded over a dozen songs playing overhead into Spotify! We ordered our dinner & waited a little too long for it. Service was good but yeah would have expected more. However, the food was very good & my Sakura Pork Tomahawk was an amazing delightful surprise! I never get pork for dinner (I do however, love my brekkie crispy smokey bacon) but actually challenged myself & thought - why not!? I'm sure glad I did! The cider braised cabbage, ham bone soubise & oka gratin & the cheese on top, were definitely a wicked combo I'd never experienced before! Our group enjoyed all our plates - Sablefish, Veggie Burger & Angus Beef Striploin. Ohhhh yeah & the Lemon Earl Grey Crèmeux was so tasty perfect - really enjoyed this dessert! ARC is excellent for groups or date night. The dinner menu is somewhat limited in my view for such a large restaurant but that could just be a sign of the times. I'm hoping for bigger & better things to happen here, as we get through another pandemic year. The next morning (today) was brunch - the true gem of ARC, in my humble opinion!!! Our server Baba, was stellar & superb! We followed her recommendations going through the brunch options - they were spot on & satisfying! Keep in mind that while the weekend brunch is bottomless, one must strategize & eat wisely or you end up full after only 2 plates!!! ***Heads up hot TIP alert*** must try - Buttermilk Biscuits, Berry Smoothie, Salmon Benedict, Granola Parfait, Jerk Fried Chicken, Beef Shortrib Poutine & the Croque Madame. The Liege Waffle & Ooey Gooey Skillet must be had at the end as - dessert!!! Trust me on that! Will I be going back to ARC you ask ... you had me at WILL, as in ... definitely!!! read more

Live your life by a compass, not a clock. And if you follow the directions for your hungry belly, you'll end up here. Located inside the Fairmont Waterfront, this place is always filled with happy faces. After several delays in our flight, we decided to stay in and grab dinner here. Loved the Humboldt Squid with chorizo appetizer and the nutty squash soup is yummy. We ordered the veggie burger, lamb pappardelle, and the sablefish. The lamb ragout was incredible and the sablefish was light refreshing and perfect for a chilly night in. Brunch seemed extensive and sure to not disappoint. We ate here several nights which proves consistency is what transforms average into excellence. Thank you for the lovely dining experience here repeatedly. read more

The review should be no stars. They refused to accommodate me for breakfast because I was not staying in the hotel and the restaurant was "too busy". It was 7am on Sunday morning and the place was empty. I guess they are trying to redefine the meaning of "hospitality industry" read more

This is a very nice elevated spot right near Canada Place. It is a great option for a business lunch. I ordered the Eggplant Schnitzel Burger with cabbage slaw, smoked chickpea aioli, pickles, and even a vegan brioche bun. It was delicious! I'm not a huge fan of eggplant but it seemed unique enough that I couldn't pass it up. The fries were excellent. My only complaint is that there weren't more of them. Our waitress was a hoot! She was extra friendly and making jokes with everyone at the table. read more

Decided to stop by for dinner with a friend. Located inside the Fairmont Waterfront, the restaurant was very spacious and airy with tall ceilings. For dinner, ARC offers $39 Two Course, $49 Three Course. Supplemental charge of $15 applies for beef tenderloin and halibut. Sharable dessert course portioned for at least 2 people. For appetizer, we tried the seared scallop frisée salad and the beef carpaccio. The scallops were seared and seasoned amazingly but the beef carpaccio was amazing with a great acidic dressing. For the mains, we had the halibut and beef tenderloin. Oddly enough, I really enjoyed the vegetables in both dishes. The halibut came with potato gnocchi, summer vegetables, fumet blanc, soft herbs. The beef tenderloin came with fingerling potatoes, broccolini, bordelaise sauce. For dessert, we shared bee's knees sundae. This dish took forever to come out... but wow it was massive. Came with rooftop honey caramel, salted-honey pecan, torched honey marshmallow, LOTS of vanilla ice-cream, cocoa brownie, fudge sauce. We probably ate only half. read more

Arc restaurant is located inside the fairmont hotel. Very sleek and stylish designed interior and most comfortable seating. Bar is classy too Extremely polite mannered , efficient and welcoming serving staff who not only serve you your meal but engage you into a conversation that makes you even more comfortable. Stopped for breakfast here and ordered orange juice and cappuccino to start. Juice is not freshly squeezed but tastes good. Cappuccino was served with a almond biscuit and tasted just so perfect. Avocado toast is single served with arugula n poached eggs which you can get on the side. Apple cinnamon french toast was soft and yummy. Looking forward to try more items from the menu read more

Great service. Delicious dessert and wine options. Very solid. Nice vibe. Very good food for a hotel

I visited ARC several years ago (brunch as well) and I knew I wanted to come back since it's a nice experience, with pretty good food in a great environment. A quick rundown of the items I had: Ooey Gooey Skillet - So heavy, decadent, but good. It reminds me of a fresh Porto's cheese roll, but even much more decadent. Roesti - Wife complained that salmon was way too oily and didn't eat it. Only dish we ended up not finishing. It's sitting on top of a hash brown that we first thought was just an English Muffin, that part was good. Dutch Baby - Not a sweet pancake. It's a savory housing basically a burrata and arugula salad. I enjoyed it. Braised Lamb Shakshuka Beef Shortrib Poutine - They of course have a poutine. Luckily it's pretty good, not overly salty and fries were crisp when it arrived. Pork Benedict - Tasty flavor from the pork, not overly salty. Bone Marrow - I never get the allure of eating bone marrow, but the wife liked it enough to get it twice. You can ask for no bread if you don't want it. Spicy Buttermilk Fried Chicken - Really good. Better than I've had at other places, but could not really taste the spicy flavor. Great balance of sweet & savory though. Mimosa Tasting Flight - Nice to look at and take photos. I imagine many girls order it. Flavors all sound appealing, but I really just tasted the champagne mostly. Blackberry Mule - It was alright. Would be better if there were some more fresh muddled blackberries inside to add more overall flavor. ARC is located within The Fairmont (nicer hotel) and the decor of the place is fitting. Nice, spacious interior, better than I've seen in higher-end restaurants. We sat right by where we could see the rain outside downtown, city tourist vibes. It was a cold January but the heaters along the front of the windows more than warm the place up. In fact, since the window seats are right by the heaters I actually got to hot even after taking my jacket off. The server was very nice (is too nice a thing!? lol) She was attentive and we never felt like she was not there when trying to order more food. I know some people (the more anxious type) who might be bothered by this almost overzealous type of service. But I'd much rather have it than have no or bad service, and than they still want a 20%+ tip for.... There is a parking structure (several) serving the area but since you are downtown, be prepared to pay a premium. This was the most I paid for parking my entire Vancouver trip, I think it was $5/half hour. Compared to that I remember thinking how cheap parking was in general at all other places. While I very much enjoy the AYCE brunch at ARC and none of the food I've had there has been bad there are a few things they could improve on. I did find some of the portions too big, such as the Spicy Buttermilk Fried Chicken. If you are like me you are going to order many dishes at once, but along with that things get cold quickly as you are eating. I wanted to get another of the chicken, and I would have if the portion was smaller, but I was full and did not want to waste food. It might throw the kitchen logistics off, but something like half-portion options would be great and elevate my experience here. It seemed like almost everything came with a poached egg which I know is a brunch staple but some other variations would be appreciated. The drinks were not my favorite overall, but they did look nice. I'm guessing they can't control it, but some type of parking validation would be great especially since it's not the cheapest meal. If you are looking for a great (AYCE) brunch option with variety you should check out ARC. Cheers! read more

No! Way too expensive !! Food wasn't good and the service severely lacking. Needs to improve as not what it was

I've had ARC restaurant's unlimited brunch pop up for me a few times by the various Vancouver blogs I follow so I finally gave it a try. It is well worth the price! We were greeted and welcomed into the restaurant by some very friendly staff. I had made a reservation through OpenTable to ensure that we would get in since it can be quite busy on the weekends. Our table had a spectacular view of the harbour that I'm sure would have been even more amazing had it not being a foggy/rainy, Vancouver morning. Our server Stephanie was funny, attentive and had some great recommendations for dishes to try. I ordered a variety of the plates available on the impressive menu ARC has to offer. I ordered the Ooey Gooey Skillet, the Smoked Salmon Benny, the Croque Madam, the Harvest Grain bowl, Fruit Parfait, Biscuits and Breakfast Taco. All items arrived hot with stunning plating. The flavours were incredible as was the quality of the ingredients used. This is a must visit for anyone who loves breakfast foods, just be sure to bring your stretchy pants. read more

They let us order two dishes per person. Food was good. The poutine was delicious. Real gravy and the fries were crisp. The second round of food didn't come out until about 30 minutes after we ordered so by the time we got the food, we were full from the first round. We were looking forward to the ooey gooey skillet and it was good but we couldn't finish it after the long waiting period. Tea and coffee were included but juice costs extra. I guess brunch used to be a lot more affordable before but now it's $69 Canadian and about $50 USD per person. With the previous prices I would say it would be a great deal but now, it might be better to go with the a la carte selections instead. read more

Went for the all inclusive Weekend Bruch today. Offering of 17 items in small plates that you can enjoy yourself or share. My friend and I ordered a bunch to share. Coffee or tea is also included for $35/person. Note: entire table must commit to the special. We made a dent of 7/17 dishes. My favourite, as suggested by our server, was the Braised Pork Cheeks with Polenta, Salmon Benedict and Jerk Fried Chicken with Funnel Cake. I liked we each got our own small coffee carafe at the table. The food was delicious but our server, Darrin, really made the experience with his humour and knowledge of the menu. He encouraged us to eat more but we were stuffed, and never felt rushed to leave. Thanks Darrin for a great afternoon. Parking in the waterfront/business core is expensive so either take the skytrain or family carpool. Cheaper street parking about 4 blocks away from the hotel. read more

We made reservations, but since we were hoping around different places all day as tourists, celebrating a birthday, we weren't hungry by the time we sat down at ARC restaurant. I'm so happy, despite that we weren't hungry, we still came out. The service was impeccable and the dessert well worth it! This is the chocolate black out cake. Definitely shareable for 2-6 people. It's the best combination of all flavors in one. It's a chocolate (almost like a chewy brownie) cake with a chocolate ganache in the very middle. Topped with vanilla bean ice cream, caramel syrup and these drunken cherries. We are the whole thing, just the two of us and didn't blink once. Our server was polite and took great care of us. We sat for hours chatting, enjoying the views outside and the people next to us. It wasn't as loud as I thought it may be. So pleasant and looking forward to come back here for dinner. read more

When I was booking my hotel in Vancouver I was split between the Fairmont and the Hyatt. I ended up booking the Hyatt but I still wanted to stop in at the Fairmont for Weekend Brunch. Richa R. on Yelp recently posted some beautiful photos so it was my stop in for sure. I stopped in with a companion to celebrate their new job in Ontario but because the restaurants are all on a Dine-In ban with the pandemic, Vancouver was a fun alternative. We ordered the BC Berry Basket Smoothie, Avocado Toast (twice, 2nd order no egg), Salmon Benedict, Croque Madame, Braised Pork Cheeks, Meat & Potatoes, Migas Breakfast Taco and we ordered coffee and was provided a pitcher. Our server recommended that we try the Ooey Gooey Skillet because everyone finishes with it - because it was beautifully presented on a hot cast iron with a Fairmont serving board. Check out my Instagram @foodrebelivana , its posted there. The service was nice, the washroom was clean. The high ceilings were very nice in the view was just between the buildings and water. Walk from the Hyatt was just 6min, very tourist friendly. $49pp +tip. If you don't want the ayce there are single dish options available as well. Can't wait to return for the $49 three course meal. read more

April 26/2022: Just a business breakfast with a colleague. Very tasty but a super small portion. Eggs Benedict with Canadian ham. Came with a side of salad (or so it looked like), which I found kinda weird. I don't think I'd eat here again, to small of portion for a $29.00 breakfast. read more

Well..... they probably aren't well known for the crispy chicken sandwich, but just in case, do NOT order it. It seems like they use the cold, overdone, boneless wings, add sauce and toss it on a cold bun (which immediately breaks apart on you). The music in the lounge was nice, drinks ok... but food wise, i'd have to see what they recommend, maybe don't order on your own? ‍ read more

We love the Fairmont Waterfront and Arc is a great option for dinner. After flying in, we kept dinner close and ate at the hotel. Arc never disappoints. The service was excellent. The view out to Canada Place and the port of Vancouver is really nice. Mr. Bee opted for Fish and Chips for dinner, and he got two large pieces of perfectly fried fish. It was nice and crispy on the outside and tender and flaky on the inside without being a bit greasy. The fries were crispy and well salted. I chose the Mushroom Orecchiete. Diving into the bowl there were crispy bits of guanciale, truffles all in a creamy pecorino cream sauce. It was seasoned well, the perfect portion and I could have licked the bowl clean, as the sauce was rich and flavorful. The drink menu is great and the bar is a nice place to enjoy a cocktail before dinner. Enjoy!! read more

WOWWWWW! This place! This is a great place to have dinner even if you're not staying at the hotel. A bit on the pricy side. So definitely a special occasion type deal. My husband and I were staying at the hotel and since we are American Express holders we had a $100 dining room credit and decided to use it here. I'm so glad we did. Dinner itself was outstanding. We were able to try some Canadian wines which were great. But we actually finally found a delicious merlot we both loved which was the Burrowing Owl-recommended by our server. The winery actually only sells to restaurants so I definitely suggest giving this one a shot if you're here. You will fall in love. Our server was Julie. She was amazing! Fantastic wine recommendations and actually great food recommendations as well. Extremely professional and really kept up with our drinks since the kitchen was running so slow. We were happy. The food all around was phenomenal. We ordered the special that evening which was the Sable Fish. Julie described it as a buttery whitefish. And that's EXACTLY what it was. Both my husband and myself died over this fish. So good! Unfortunately the fish piece was incredibly small and we split the entree, so we were basically fighting over it. Haha. Word to the wise: get your own if you can! We finished off with a dessert I never would have ordered on my own. I'm more of a decadent dessert girl. But she sold my husband on the Pear Tart with Burnt Honey Ice Cream. And it was AMAZING! We both really enjoyed it and appreciate her recommendation. We had a wonderful evening here. It was also our first time visiting Canada as a couple so it was a perfect way to round out our trip together. Thanks Julie! read more

Wishing I was back at this beautiful restaurant enjoying this amazing and filling brunch feast! Their bottomless brunch happens every Saturday and Sunday and with the packed few days I had in Vancouver at the end of October I am so glad I was able to squeeze in a visit, totally worth it. We got the following: - Honey butter buttermilk biscuits - Migas breakfast taco - Salmon Benedict - Jerk fried chicken - Croque Madame - Braised pork cheeks You guysssssss $50 for allllll this food ?! Unlimited plates ?! You cannot go wrong !!! We were so full and still hadn't tried all that we wanted to. Will definitely be back the next time we visit Vancouver Everything was SO fresh, I definitely have to give a shoutout to the seafood tasting like it was straight out of the ocean lol and the croque madame, so tasty I've never tried something like it before! That mornay sauce though Thank you to our server for recommending it and the rest of the staff for the prompt and friendly service!

If you're hungry and you need everything brunch, ARC Restaurant is the place to be. Located directly across the road from Canada Place, this slightly upscale from casual dining place offers a unique brunch opportunity (weekends only) at $49.00/person. After seeing various photos and recommendations of the food online, I knew I had to make a move and get in on the action before the end of the year. Here are some takeaways: 1) The food and service - it's fantastic. Absolutely worth $49.00/person, especially considering it is "bottomless". The quality of each dish, the presentation, and the speed at which the food came out was very nice. All of the servers were friendly and fast to tend to my table's needs and were happy to make menu recommendations to us. Some notable items were the Ooey Gooey Skillet which was absolutely delicious and the Croque Madame which I had never had before, but was pleasantly surprised by. 2) Order restriction - each table is limited to put in four options from the menu per order. In other words, you can only order four dishes at one time, and only until you're about half-way through your first four dishes can you order the next four. I'd imagine this is a tactic put in place by the business to ensure people do not overshoot how much they think they can eat, which is totally fair. 3) Portion size - each dish was fairly decent in size. However, do keep in mind that, while it might look like the food comes in small portions, be careful not to overestimate. Between me and my partner, we were only able to successfully finish about six of the 10 dishes we ordered, including coffee and a smoothie, and we could only partially eat the remaining four with leftovers to spare. There are so many menu items to try, but unless you've got a larger party, don't expect to be able to try everything so pick and choose your favourite dishes wisely. My partner and I left extremely stuffed, but equally satisfied, so much so that we didn't need to eat for the rest of the afternoon until late evening. The food really is quite nice, and the Christmas atmosphere made the experience even more enjoyable. Because of the steep price, I probably wouldn't come here more than once every few months, but I will definitely be back to try those other brunch items I didn't get to try on my first visit. Reservations definitely recommended as they book well in advance. read more

After I heard about the breakfast buffet and saw the menu, I had to try. It did not disappoint! They've got an assortment of dishes from sweet, savoury, and different kinds of meats. My favourite dish would have to be the Ooey gooey which was all goodness. The braised beef poutine was also good but fries could have been more fresh and crispy. Things to note, the place does get busy and would recommend making reservations a week in advance. Also limited to which seemed to be two plates per person. These plates are decent sized - it can be for an individual or shared (I recommend sharing, they're big enough). Also a Plus, that the Service was friendly and prompt and the space was nice read more

Nice restaurant in the heart if Canada place at the Fairmont hotel. Prices are appropriate for the location but not for the amount of food. We were a party of 10 and the service was so slow! Even though the restaurant was half full. Also the Menu not very descriptive. I ordered the Cobb salad and when it was served, I realized that it was a deconstructed salad. Not what I expected. The Turkey sandwich which was $26 was super dry and not flavorful. read more

So if you go to made to order buffet, go all in? Or order the best? We basically ordered everything and here are the best dishes we had. Their avocado toast wit a perfectly poached egg was very tasty. Was it the best?... close but their croque madame was fantastic! Like a savory monte cristo without the maple syrup. It didn't need it! Their jerk fried chicken with funnel cake is excellent. The habanero maple syrup paired beautifully! Their migas breakfast taco is simple but complex. Love the flavours! And if you haven't had their biscuits, make sure to save space for that... don't forget their ooey gooey skillet. Think mini croissants topped with apple cinnamon slices. I was still full hours later so until the next meal.... read more

Our last day in Vancouver, so we wanted to fancied it up. We went for brunch at ARC restaurant, part of Fairmount Waterfront hotel. We had our reservation, and at arrival, we were quickly seated. Our waitress Vivian section was hopping. She was having hard time to reach us after she introduced herself. We are waiting patiently and little hungry. The assistant manager or manger Tobias saw us , decided to help Vivian and take our orders. He was super amazing and helpful. I started with hibiscus mimosa, and had and amazing and delicious salmon Benedict. My sister went for an egg and bacon sandwich. We both enjoyed our dishes; we devoured our plates completely.

This review is specifically for ARC's After Dark promotion, which I had the pleasure of trying out last weekend. For $49 pp, you get bottomless tapas which is a superb value. The space is comfortable with ambient mood lighting, and during After Dark hours, they've even got a lo-fi DJ setting the mood with some chill house tunes. Dope vibe for a date before you both stuff your faces in the privacy of the dark hahaha. They limit you to four dishes per order, but I think this is the best way to do it as everything comes out fresh and you get a chance to truly savour the dishes before the next four roll out. We ordered one of everything on the menu before reordering our favourites twice, but honestly, everything was so well-executed. Our highlights included the smoked salmon rillettes - this had a great, creamy texture and came with homemade potato chips on the side. We could not stop eating them! They were expertly fried and had the crunch you'd expect from a kettle cooked chip, making them the perfect foil to the indulgent dip. We also loved the roasted salmon with risotto (perfectly cooked and the risotto was so creamy!), the grilled broccolini, pork ragu chitarra (handmade chitarra as part of a bottomless menu? Unheard of!) and the chicken liver banh mi toast (super rich but perfectly paired with toasted warm brioche). Service during our meal was also top-notch - we had numerous waitstaff check on us during the meal and thank us for our patronage. Waters were constantly refilled and plates/flatware changed between courses. All in all, an excellent experience and I'd recommend you try it out before more people find out about it! I'll be back soon to try out their bottomless brunch equivalent! Ideally after a morning workout haha. read more

AYCE brunch $65 per person. It's been all over my page like crazy both instagram and tiktok, so I had to try it and see if it's worth the price and if it's good. * Honestly the the food wasn't bad but definitely not worth $65 per person for sure. We ordered everything off the menu (except for the biscuits) to try and here's the verdict: * Ooey gooey skillet ~ bomb, a sweet gooey croissant with apple and cinnamon honestly it was super good. The buttery croissant paired so well with the warm apple and cream cheese. 10/10. * Bc Berry basket smoothie ~ this was good and super thick. I prefer the vegan version though as it was less thick and more juice like which helped wash down some of the food. Good amount of berries in the smoothie for sure. Milk smoothie 6/10, vegan smoothie 8/10. * Granola parfait ~ super delicious and crunchy granola. The mascarpone yogurt was dense but fluffy which paired well with the pear coconut. 8/10. * Avocado toast ~ egg poached perfectly, toast was crunchy. Avocado lacked seasoning. 3/10. * Liege waffle ~ it was harder than it looked. Wish it was more airy. Chai tea sauce and poached pair didn't pair well together with the waffle. 4/10. * Jerk fried chicken ~ chicken had nice kick to it, funnel cake was a bit soggy. Chicken was juicy. But not crispy enough. 4/10. * Traditional/Salmon Benedict ~ poached egg was perfect, loads of smoked salmon, nice slice of ham for traditional one. hollandaise sauce was spot on. 8/10. * Beef short rib poutine ~ delicious, wish fries were more crunchy but overall short ribs were tender and good with the cheese curds. 7/10. * Braised pork cheek ~ bomb ordered 2 of these. Super tender and soft. Sauce was flavourful and delicious 9/10. * Croque madame ~ cheesy and loaded with ham. But the ham was like cold. 3/10. * Harvest grain bowl~ loads of veggies and nicely seasoned. Perfectly poached egg. 8/10. * Meat and potatoes ~ good amount of crispy bacon and sausage with potatoes. Nicely seasoned. 9/10. * Mijas breakfast taco ~ legit bland egg with a wrap. Disappointed 1/10. * Honestly loads of carb items, personally for me I wouldn't come back for their AYCE brunch. read more

Last week, we had the All-inclusive brunch for $39/person. The food was very delicious & filling! Of you're going to eat here, you better book & reserve ahead of time because they fill up quickly!! We arrived 15 minutes ahead of our reserved time, but they directed us to our table anyways. The tables are separated by plexiglass & the ambience was awesome. Our server was very energetic & well she basically did the ordering for us. She pre-ordered the biscuits & smoothies for us. And then ordered the rest as we just ate. The biscuits by the way are to die for!!! There's not much I can say, except to definitely try this out because it's sooooooo delicious!! And for the price point, you can't go wrong. read more
