We walked in around 12:30 - 12:45pm and succeeded in right away getting a table. What a blessing as we've gone to other places on the North Shore on a Saturday, with no reservation and have had to endure fairly long waits for a table. They updated their menu and now they have actually included the word cilantro in their description of the Avocado Toast. Wonder if it's because they read my previous review. Glad to see this revised menu. My mom had Chicken and Waffles, my daughter had the Babka French Toast, and I had the Mushroom Toast. For drinks we had Hot Honey Lemon Water, Tiramisu Latte and Ferrero Rocher Latte. Loved the Mushroom Toast. The flavor of the Truffle oil really stood out to me in this dish. My daughter enjoyed the Babka Toast and ate the entire thing. I think she began to question her life choices later cuz it's a very large portion and she felt extremely full for the rest of the day. She enjoyed it enough though that she asksed if I would share it with her the next time we come here. Tiramisu Latte didn't actually taste very Tiramisu-ish. It had a Tiramisu look to it, but just tasted like a nice, sweet coffee drink. I took a sip of my daughter's Ferrero Rocher Latte. I think I enjoyed that one better. It had a chocolate, hazelnut layer set on the rim of the glass. This really did give it a sort of Ferrero Rocher taste. read more

Wow how did I miss this place which is just across from the Lonsdale Quay marketplace? Wonderful brunch spot with fantastic pastries and friendly staff. - Baked custard tart at Catch 122 - basically a giant Dan Tat. If you love Dan tats you got to get this. - all of the other pastries looked incredible and I will be back for sure to try them. - the mushroom toast is like Instagram worthy. It comes with this amazing fried I'm not sure what but it's great looking. Poached eggs too. - side of potatoes comes in a pan with aioli on top of each one. The aioli is fantastic. The potatoes crunchy and flavourful but not too fried at all. - ok the highlight for me is the KFC fusion Dutch baby. I've never heard of a dish like this before. The classic Dutch baby pancake with Korean ingredients - gochujang flavoured KFC, kimchi, veggies, an egg in the middle bibimbap style. The chicken is good although the sauce a bit uneven - some extra spicy hot spots. The ingredients come together really well and the Dutch baby is fantastic. I'll be coming back for sure!!! read more

The lower londsdale location is their second location (from Gastown) and the space offers alot of seating. We went during a saturday and there was no wait. We ordered the friend chicken and waffles, the portion was huge. The fried chicken was crispy and tender. The salmon bagel was on the smaller side but the poached egg was perfectly runny. Cute cafe like interior, close to the water. The food also came out very quickly. One of our favourite Vancouver brunch spots. read more

Catch 122 - Smoked salmon bagel and fried chicken and waffles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

We came here for brunch on a weekend and was surprised to find it not too busy which was music to our ears. We had a little one in tow and they are very baby/kid/family friendly. They have high chairs and because it was not too busy - there was lots of space to move about. We got the mimosa flight and it was delicious! We then got the Chicken N French Toast and the Pulled BBQ Pork Shoulder benny. I found the chicken a bit dry for my liking but did enjoy the french toast twist rather then the usual waffles. The bbq pork was pretty juicy although the eggs on the benny could have been a bit more runny for being softly poached. Overall not bad and would highly recommend for the comforts for baby/family friendly dining. read more

First time trying their pastries! I had the Double Baked Ferrero Rocher croissant and it was crunchy, flaky and chocolate-y! The Yuzu Creme Brulee Cronut was soft but flaky and the yuzu cream provided a very tart flavour. Both were delish! We also tried the Tiramisu latte which had tiramisu cream cheese topping and it was very tasty. They accidentally gave us the one with Kahlua and I was wondering why it tasted so strong but it was still good. The Kahlua is +$5. read more

Re-located from Vancouver, their new location was not as difficult to get to but free parking is hard to find. Great location as you can stroll along the harbour afterwards. The food was amazing and creative. The appys for Korean style steak tartar and grilled octopus were savoury but mouth watering. Perfect with their cocktails. Everything was seasoned well with hints of sweet and spice. The Sirloin was seasoned well and not over-cooked. The potato cake garnish paired very well and was extremely tasty. Duck was juicy and tender and the creative fried rice balls matched well with the cheese filled pasta. A bonus point to them for perfect texture. read more

Great brunch spot! One of top faves to visit on the north shore. Recommend also trying their banana bread with whipped coffee butter. For this particular brunch my partner got their chicken and fresh toast and he absolutely loved it. The sandwich and chips were delicious, but wasn't a fan of their pickles- did not have enough crunch for me. Aside from that 10/10 read more

A couple of friends and I went to Catch 122 for lunch recently. To sum up our experience, my hat's off to a really nice non-chain restaurant that stands out from the uniformity of corporate chains :-) We all really enjoyed their unique approach to breakfast comfort food. Everything we tried was both well executed and very tasty. Overall their prices aren't low-end, but the quality of the food makes this place worthwhile. If I have any complaint, it would be the fact that the service can be hit or miss - the last time we came here, our server was MIA for large blocks if time. No complaints on that score for this most recent visit though :-) read more

It really good food. Smells good. I looked other people food and got my attention. The Parmesan fries is just perfect! Compared to cliff restaurant at suspension bridge. Too much salty.

Brunch goals unlocked at Catch 122 Cafe bistro in North Vancouver's Lonsdale Quay! They've got brunch from 9am - 3pm every day, so you can indulge whenever you roll out of bed. Or if you're just in for a quick bite, their pastry and coffee selection is top-notch any time of day! With a mix of savoury and sweet dishes, there's something for everyone! We ordered: Iced Latte $5.5 Fresh Organic Cold-Pressed Orange Juice (8 oz $6 / 12 oz $8) Churros $8 (Deep fried house-made churro dough, cinnamon sugar, espresso cremeux, and dulce de leche) Chicken 'n Waffles $20 (Liege waffles, crispy chicken thighs, rosemary maple, and honey chipotle butter) KFC Dutch Baby Baked Pancake $23 (House-made gochujang sauce, buttermilk fried chicken, sunny side up egg, kimchi, sesame & nut dukkah, pickled cabbage, smoked tomato aioli, bok choy, and organic greens) All the dishes were delicious but the Churros stole the show. Their churros were simply divine, perfectly crispy outside and fluffy inside, paired with two delightful dipping sauces! If you like Korean cuisine then the KFC Dutch Baby Pancakes is a must try.

Total cost of $85.88 CAD for 2 brunch entrees, 1 milk, 1 kid's entree, 1 coffee, 1 cocktail, 1 side of bacon. * Yuzu Fog ($12) - 5 stars Excellent, great texture, refreshing. * Duck Confit Toast ($25) - 4 stars Well made, tasty meat, fresh salad. * Tres Leches Dutch Baby Baked Pancake ($19) - 4.5 stars Excellent. And for a sweet dish, not overwhelmingly heavy. read more

This place was super busy so I definitely recommend a reservation but the food was amazing so definitely worth it! Our server was sweet and explained some of the menu items. In terms of food, I highly recommend the churros (they were so fluffy on the inside but crunchy on the outside) and the steak and eggs for brunch. It was such a great combo of flavors. Their coffee was really good and we also tried the mimosa flight. I will say I don't think the mimosa flight was completely worth it because the portions are pretty small. I would have rather paid for a mimosa pitcher. read more

The aroma of this place completely and captures all of your senses. The food is so incredibly delicious. Kudos to this chef. another big fave of mine is that they have a huge variety of mocktails and yummy unique hot drinks. The hostess and waitresses are super sweet and the place is all dressed up in Christmasy decorations with a tree right now...very cute. Honestly, there are so many things on this menu that look absolutely scrumptious and very unique. We went here for brunch and opted for the steak and eggs that had a Korean and Japanese inspiration with kimchi, edamame but best of all this rice "vessel" which was crispy perfection on the outside and soft on the inside. I also got the huevos rancheros with the chorizo patty... OMG, best one I've had outside of Mexico. The flavour bombs that this restaurant gives out is insanity. I'm surprised this place is not packed. The only small flaw that I can give is that the steak with the steak and eggs wasn't top-notch quality, but was still quite good. Also, the photos really don't do the dishes justice but the flavour is beyond there Get your ladies and go out for brunch to the cute and cosy catch 122 read more

Terrible service. The staff were polite and did not say anything inappropriate, but I was seated and then completely ignored for about 20 minutes. About 15 minutes in, another group was seated at the table next to me. Their order was taken and their drinks were delivered before anyone even checked on me. I tried the usual signals in this situation pushing my menu away and making eye contact but multiple staff members looked in my direction and continued serving everyone else. Eventually, I left with only a glass of water on the table and no food, still hungry. I was genuinely excited to try this place. The food looks good, but it is not cheap and not worth it if you have to wait an excessive amount of time just to place an order. I also want to note that as a woman of color, I frequently experience different standards of service, and this interaction felt consistent with discrimination and bias I have encountered elsewhere. read more

Came here on a Friday around 10:30a, one other customer sitting inside. I decided to take an outside table. I was served immediately. After receiving my drink and food at about 10:40a, another table of 10 sat outside across the patio & I was entirely forgotten about. Three different servers came outside during that time but none of them looked in my direction or stayed outside long enough for me to get their attention until I finally got the attention of one at 11:20a to get me my bill and box for my food. Only a box was brought and I had to ask for my bill a second time. I was going to have another coffee and enjoy the weather but the servers entirely forgotten about me after the large table sat down nearby. Very unfortunate customer service. read more

Despite having been here multiple times (the only brunch place to have this honour in Van) I realised I never reviewed Catch 122. Located somewhat inconveniently in North Van, their dishes remind me of Melbourne Asian-inspired brunch menu. Place was bright and airy with nice lighting from the floor to ceiling windows. Service was just the right amount of friendly, not overbearing yet attentive enough to make sure water is never empty. Drinks were unfortunately very average across the board. KFC Dutch Baby Baked Pancake ($23) 9/10 Despite not being recommended by the staffs (apparently their bestsellers are eggs benedict, steak&bulgogi, and chicken&waffle), I found this dish to be the best in terms of uniqueness and flavour profile. Fusion style brunch can be tricky to pull off, yet Catch 122 managed to do so by combining Korean spicy gochujang sauce with Western style pancake and fried chicken offerings. All the other sides (kimchi, aioli, etc.) also work together to elevate the dish even more. Cauliflower Benny ($19) 8.5/10 A vegetarian take on traditional benny, this one used croquette instead of english muffin. I typically avoid eggs benedict as I often found it to be and overwhelmingly eggy dish, but this one was quite light due to the veggies and pickles. Probably not for everyone, but it is one of the few egg benedict dishes I could enjoy. Cornflakes Hazelnut Babka French Toast ($22) 8/10 A twist of traditional brioche french toast by using babka and deep frying it ala HK french toast. This was right up my alley, perfectly crunchy, sweet, yet also balanced by espresso cream and berries. I also liked how they separated the maple syrup so you can adjust based on preference. Please make this available during weekday as well. Tres Leches Dutch Baby Pancake ($19) 6/10 Surprisingly, even as a sweet brunch lover, I found this dish to be underwhelming. As somebody who like tres leches cake, I found that this dish didn't really resemble the actual cake in terms of flavour. The semifreddo and whip also really make this dish heavy. Chorizo Breakfast Sandwich ($21) 5/10 I only tried a bit from my friend's other but I remember it being very mediocre. Portion was very big so she couldn't finish. Best part was the crispy chips. read more

Wow I came because this place was recommended by the NYT, and it really met those high expectations. I ordered the bulgogi steak and egg. First impressions were amazing, the plate was so nicely plated with such an eclectic and colourful collection of veggies and sauces. I ordered the steak medium rare but it came out a bit overcooked (~medium ish) which was a little unfortunate, but thankfully it was still very delicious. It was a very tender and flavourful cut, well-cooked and just generally good quality meat. The pecorino rice cake that the steak sat atop was really surprisingly; it was a nice, lighter complement to the steak and egg at first. But, it did quickly get heavier and too soggy to properly enjoy. The greens were amazing, fresh leafy veggies with its light dressing and the Korean peanut spice was definitely a new combo for me - worked really well imo. The diced kimchi was really delicious, flavour was really authentic, and sometimes I don't like crunching on the hard cabbage stems, so this was a win-win for me. It was a really good pairing with the egg, especially with the runny yolk. The pureed edamame was interesting - I wasn't really a fan (bland at times, weird aftertaste otherwise), but I think it was a pretty creative/interesting concept. The broccolini was the low point - it was undercooked and really, really difficult to chew on. I didn't finish this :( My friend ordered the duck confit, which was also really yummy. The duck was very flavourful and the sourdough underneath was surprisingly good. The side greens were great too - none of the peanut flavour of mine, but same fresh, crisp, light flavour throughout. We also ordered the smashed fried potatoes, of which only two of those three words were really true. The potatoes were certainly fried but definitely were not smashed at all. Still, they were very very delicious - soft and fluffy in each bite, paired with a nice aioli, and I liked the mix-match of the regular (yukon gold?) potatoes and the purple potatoes. Portion size was also surprisingly large for an appetiser/side. Very delicious meal overall, I was really pleasantly surprised at how good everything turned out. I'd love to come back - their menu had loads of other dishes I also wanted to try :) read more

Always a lovely experience here. Great location and beautiful ambiance indoors. Service is good. It meets expectations. Parking is a bit more difficult for this area in general if you are driving, but within walking distance of hotels and coastal activities. Menu is brief but includes happy hour and cocktails and the right quantity of items within each category. Everything is plated well and tastes great. Pricing is fairly average for this area; with a drink, appetizer and entree and dessert for two people you will bet our around 120-150. read more

Catch 122 recently moved to the Shipyards area of North Van, and I think the new location suits them well! I visited for the first time a couple weeks ago, immediately falling in love with the airy, yet warm feel. Upscale casual is definitely the vibe here. The menu is extensive, so it took me awhile to decide. Thankful for the staff's kindness and patience. From cafe drinks to cocktails, brunch to baked goods, foodies will rejoice here! I was super impressed with both items I ordered, so if you're looking for suggestions I would look at: 1. Yuzu cloud - a light, fruity, non-alc drink. Sets the right mood for brunch and acts as a great palate cleanser for the decadence to follow! 2. Cauliflower benny - not your average eggs benedict! A croquette as the base was new to me, as was having a vegetable (carrot) puree to go along with this brunch classic. It all worked so well! Rich, without getting too heavy, especially because of the pickled cauliflower and other veg that were on the plate. This was, without a doubt, one of the best eggs benedicts I've had in awhile. I will be back for more! read more

Came here for brunch with friends and it was amazing! We were seated right after coming in, and service the whole time was so quick, kind, and easy to talk to. My friend and I couldn't tell whether this place was a fusion brunch place, or the exact cuisine, but we ended up getting the bulgogi steak n' egg and the pulled pork BBQ egg benedict to share. Both dishes were phenomenal. Although I expected to like the bulgogi steak n' egg more than the benedict, I would much more recommend someone the benedict. With the pulled pork, it takes such a unique twist with so much more flavor and the salad and potatoes complements the dish so well. On the other hand, the bulgogi steak n' egg was delicious, however, I wasn't the biggest fan of the kimchi (the seasoning was not quite right) and the dressing/sauces for the salad were 'meh'. But! I would definitely come again to try other dishes. read more

Been wanting to try this new location in North Van. The goods: the food was fantastic. The menu has many options. I ordered Chicken & Waffles, I struggle with choosing sweet or savory for brunch this is always my go to in any brunch places. My friend ordered pulled pork benny, she also loved and enjoyed her food. I had a couple of bites I also found it to be very tasty. Presentation was great and good portion as well. The not so good: I arrived 15-20 minutes before my friend, wanting to get us a table anticipating a typical "Sunday Brunch rush." The restaurant was busy but still had number of tables open. The host offered me the bar, I took it. I waited for about 15 minutes before anyone came to say Hi to me. I finally asked for a coffee. My friend arrived and we had a lot of catching up to do so, the poor service we tried to just ignore. Coffee took a long time to arrive, our food also took a long time ( but still was nice and hot when it arrived ), and finally we ended asking for our bill, we waited a long time for anyone to come by and ask if we needed anything else. Overall, the food was great so it out weighted the poor service we got. It was unfortunate because we enjoyed our meal. I liked the atmosphere, bright and clean, very "brunchy vibes." I also wanted to try some of the pastry / dessert the offered it looked so good, but since no one wanted to help us we past and when across the street to get dessert. read more

Catch 122 is a cozy little spot ducked off across the street from the Quay Market and Waterfront in Lonsdale. Warning: The parking is atrocious so plan or find parking a kilometer away and walk. Luckily, I made it before the kitchen closed to shift to the dinner menu. The server recommended I'd try the Mushroom Bagel (Benny). She was accurate! This benny is served with deliciously prepared mushrooms combined with romesco sauce, black garlic aioli topped with two poached eggs, and mushroom tempura on a bagel. All I can say is this Benny had my taste buds doing the griddy for most of the afternoon! For any vegetarian visiting lonsdale, check at Catch 122 and request the Mushroom bagel! read more

Aesthetic brunch spot with great vegetarian food options and more. 9/10 Food: I ordered an Avocado Toast and Cauliflower Benny to try and both were delicious. It was plated well, nicely seasoned, and priced decently. My only gripe was that the salad that came with my Benedict was a little on the salty side. Aside from that, my food was perfect. 10/10 Ambiance: I came at about noon and was seated quickly in the back. Despite being prime lunch hours, there was plenty of space to eat. I liked the large windows that offered nice natural lighting and complimented the variety of plants around the restaurant.

We came here for brunch before going to the Capistrano bridge. We got the bulgogi steak and eggs and the duck confit. The dishes were a little too dry until we popped the egg into the meat (I highly recommend doing this). The bulgogi steak and eggs was interesting but not impressive. I could hardly taste the difference between normal steak and the bulgogi, and although the sushi rice was an interesting touch, I wouldn't say the dish tasted better because of it. The duck confit was really good as it was savory, simple (toast, duck, avocado, and egg), and had really good texture. Great dish to start the day with. Ambience is typical of a modern New American restaurant. Our server was very attentive and made sure we weren't lacking anything. read more

Previously next door for a decade, Chefs Ana Laura Ramos and Patricia Manjarrez responsible for inspired plates served amidst wood and industrial lighting, weekday Brunch begins for many with Coffee, Booze or both - "The Irish" smooth but potent beneath a layer of Bailey's Whipped Cream that pairs well to a half-dipped Breton Butter Pastry. Not a low-effort undertaking, nearly everything made on-site daily, Viennoiserie finds even more success with a Berry Mascarpone Croissant that maintains texture despite copious Filling and for those seeking something more substantial the Dutch Baby is flawless whether sweet with Mexican influence or fiery with Kimchi and Korean Fried Chicken. read more

I heard about Catch 122 googling best brunch downtown and Catch 122 is on the list. I made reservations and arrived right at time for 11:30am. We walked to Catch 122 about 15 minutes in the heat 26 degrees. I guess I should not expect but they didn't have A/C so we were sweating for a bit before we got used to the warmth. The restaurant is spacious and I love the decor with brickwork wall and wood for tables and chairs. We needed water as it was hot and so didn't order any beverages. We went straight to food. I order The BELT (bacon, egg, lettuce and tomatoe). It was really delicious and I loved the crunch from bacon and the fried egg made dish more decadent. The sourdough bread was toasted to perfect crunch with what I believe to butter. It was paired with homemade chips and was light and crispy and my husband couldn't stop eating my chips! That's ok, I am watching my carb intake. My hubby ordered the Bulgogi Steak & Eggs and the steak was perfectly cooked. He enjoyed this dish and we both left full and warm and needed to walk it off. The service was outstanding and very attentive. I am taking 1 star off as we were quite warm dining in on a hot day. read more

Well. I'd like to keep this my best hidden secret. But ill tell you a little bit more about this cute cafe thats not so small tucked away in the streets of gastown. When you enter the Cafe it gives you chill vibes and the aroma of the food is bomb. The baked goods in the cabinet are a must, whether you choose to stay or take to go. Big shout outs to the patisserie chefs eh. The food is always on point. Their menu is OG and has food game, either way you're leaving with a belly full of Greatness. The only thing I gotta say which makes my review a 4. Is the non existent AC. That's a bit disappointing. That you get warm while you're eating. The space is really nice and spacious but when the heat rises you just feel a little uncomfortable. I ordered the grown up hot chocolate. Delicious. My go to is always the classic. Why. Because of the potato rosti. Yes I welcome carbs. All day everyday. Please support this delicious establishment. But also please consider getting AC at some point. read more
