As a person with Celiac disease it can be hard to find a restaurant that offers and accommodates someone with an allergy to wheat. Most restaurants will do the minimum of keeping your food separate twisted fork went the extra mile by not only separating my food but to also make sure their cooking equipment was not contaminated. Oh the food was also fantastic. read more

To sum it up small breakfast dive that caters to American yelpers. Came in and the place was packed probably due to lots of positive reviews. Looked at the menu and few things stood out so it looked promising. Wanted to grab a fresh juice so we asked the waitress if her tomato and orange juice is made from real fruits or concentrate to which she replied that she doesn't have time to squeeze fruits but that all juices are real. Then she took a can of heinz and orange juice from concentrate and poured us our $4 drinks. A jug of concentrate orange is less than $4. We proceed to order our food. I got the baked eggs and wife got eggs Benny. My plate was pretty bad. Tasted dry and it came with a side of beans from a can and heavily sugared toast. Really disappointed in all the reviews on yelp making this place looks good. read more

We added our names to the list at 10am on a Saturday. The wait wasn't too bad. We walked down the street for a coffee and recieved a text that our table was coming up. There were several choices of sweet and savory brunch entrees. My boyfriend got the smoked salmon benny and i got the sauteed portobello and onions benny. They were delicious!! The staff were friendly and attentive. And ask them for their homemade ketchup. It is awesome on eggs and hashbrowns! read more

Amazing! We have been in Vancouver for almost 2 years and were satisifed with the Restaurant selection until we dined here. It was an amazing dinner. We went on a Monday night in January and were seated right away. We have a taste teasing 'Margatini' before our nibbles arrived. The sourdough bread was great with Basil & Goat Cheese. We ordered a Bottle of Red since they had a wine special on Monday nights. Our Mains were amazing (the Duck is highly recommended). The dessert was impressive. The staff delivered perfect customer service. The setting was warm and comforting (we were in a booth). We went again a few weeks later but this time they were a little busier so we sat at the Front in a Bar style table. The table was small but this makes the Restaurant unique and we had no complaints at all about it. The food was yet again amazing! We will most likely return to dine there over and over since we just live around the corner - although I am sure we wouldn't hesitate to go there if we had to travel far! read more

went here with my girl friend and we both enjoyed the food. The AAA steak was SUPER tasty, must try item! The server was friendly and it was a great dinner. read more

Fantastic from start to finish. I'd heard good things many times about this place but had been put off by a potentially long wait. We arrived at around 12.15 on Saturday afternoon and were told 45 minutes for a table. This would usually be enough for me to look elsewhere, but not here. They have this fantastic iPad booking app: they take your name and number and text you when the table is ready, no standing around in the rain, head off for a pre-brunch drink instead! The place is cosy and the staff are relaxed and friendly (even the kitchen staff said bye). We started with a round of Cerveza Floats: beer, tequila and lime sorbet. Outstanding - even my friend who hates tequila (and didn't see it on the menu) loved it. We all decided on eggs benny with different "fillers" - I had the honey lager sausage. It was all delicious, the hollandaise was perfect as were the eggs. The bread was something different and there was plenty of sausage. My friend managed to lose an egg off his place and the waiter - Andrew, he was fantastic - promptly removed the mess and brought him another. The baked beans are different and delicious too, a little spicy and a welcome change from the usual. We topped it off with a second round of drinks, one had the Brutus - a different sort of caesar, interesting but beware if you aren't a big dill fan. Definitely recommended and I'll certainly be back. read more

We went on the weekend at 1:00 and waited for a while behind other people with no server paying attention. Then someone else came in and went to the front to have a server, a 40-ish balding guy, put their name on the waiting list. He did not look up or make sure that everyone had gotten on the list who were already in line. We were disappointed and decided to leave. I doubt we will return. read more

One of the best places for breakfast/brunch we have ever been. Love this place. The wait can be long at times but well worth it. Everything on the menu is amazing. Love the French Pressed coffee. The staff is super friendly and happy. They along with the food and atmosphere will make your day. read more

Wow their brunch food is amazingly good. I had the pumpkin ginger soup and it was good and then I had their roasted vegetables sandwich and that was really good. I would definitely come back again brunch when I'm in the area. read more

Best brunch ever: their croque monsieur is the most delicious, indulgent and generous you'll find on this planet. And don't get me started on the dipping tomato sauce! read more

I went to this establishment based on word of mouth. I am surprised that I never saw this in the area prior. More likely 'cause the area is a bit on the shady side and unless I am in the hood to buy porn, it got over looked for the obvious reasons. This is one of those treasures in a neighborhood not really desired by tourist or casual shoppers. read more

Came here once with my bf. What a line up it was but it was worth it! Their breakfast was yummy! We would go again but we know how busy it gets so we will try and go on a weekday. read more

Well known for their brunch. Except the fact it's located on disgusting Granville st. It's a nice place to have brunch or lunch always busy most of time. I believe they close for a few hours after lunch service. read more

I went here for brunch with some friends and it was delicious. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was really good. I definitely regret not ordering the french toast because I could see these HUGE thick slices of delicious french toast that other people had ordered. I ordered the scrambled eggs, which were really good. Their in-house jam is delicious. I didn't however like how large the roasted tomatoes were and the cooked spinach was sub-par. The OJ was really good though and my friends really enjoyed their orders (Eggs Benny and Hash & Poached Eggs). I'd definitely check out this place again when I'm back in Vancouver. read more

YUM! There will be await so if you got there at brunch rush hour, don't bitch about the line. Plan ahead. The difference between 4 and 5 stars was the speed of service so I guess I'll address that first. After we ordered, it took a good 30 minutes before the food came. You know service is significantly slower than usual when after an exciting conversation you get into that lull of "okay...where's our food, we're running out of things to catch up on..." Granted, they cook their food a la minut (cooked to order) with only two chefs behind the counter manning the stoves, so with a crowded house it can back up pretty quickly. With that said, the food was definitely worth the wait. First, their banana stuffed french toast. OMG good. The french toast was perfectly crispy on the outside and oh-so-soft on the instead. Just enough stuffing that it doesn't overpower the toast itself but there to add to the whole dish. Second: Bacon, Caramelized Onion and Brie Frittata filled with potato and fresh basil, served with fresh greens and sweet corn relish. Mmmm it was a heart warming dish full of flavor and texture. If you order coffee, it comes in a large french press too! The wait staff is really nice and the brunch atmosphere was just what we needed on a crisp cool sunny fall day in Vancouver. read more

My friends and I came here twice over the course of one weekend trip to Vancouver. The repeated trips were partially because of proximity to the hotel, but primarily because we fell in love with the place. We initially found this place as a brunch place. My friend had done some research and found this place and insisted that we go here. We got there pretty early (prior to opening), but there was already a line forming outside. Once it opened, we managed to get seated but FYI this place is pretty small. The wait would totally be worth it though. Service was wonderful- wait staff were friendly (though in my experience everyone in Canada is extremely friendly) and very helpful. I love the decor of this place- very warm, inviting, wood-sy, cozy. The kitchen is semi-open and I loved looking at all the gourmet cooking contraptions. I ordered the Gruyere baked eggs with sourdough toast, bacon, rosti, tomato and baked beans. I see from the reviews below that my friend has reviewed this place also, albeit in a more timely manner, and can confirm that I did indeed basically lick the plate clean. The dish inspires me to start working on my own baked eggs recipe, mainly because I can't go to Twisted Fork all the time. The sourdough toast was a delight and a surprise because I generally don't like sourdough, but it wasn't very...sourdoughy? The bread actually had a hint of sweetness to it. Bacon never needs to be commented on- it is always amazing so long as it is cooked right, which this was. I was pleased at the inclusion of rosti, as I'd not had rosti since going to Switzerland. If you don't know what rosti is, it's kinda like hashbrowns, but better and more gourmet. Admittedly, the rosti was a little bland though I liked the level of crispiness. The tomato and baked beans were also surprisingly delicious. I say surprising because of my ambivalence separately towards both tomato things in general and baked beans. The portions were ideal- not too big so that I'd be tempted to force myself to eat everything, and not too small so that I was satisfied. The meal left me perfectly full and content. Unable to decide where to go for dinner the next night, we decided to return to Twisted Fork. Having spent the day eating my way across Granville Island, I was full and not wanting to spend too much money, so I agreed to share some small plates with my friends even though they are both vegetarians and that really is the last thing I am. Most memorable were the Sauteed Mushroom Salad, Gruyere and Carmelized Onion Tart, the Blueberry Jam Semifreddo, and the lemonade that had maple syrup in it. Again, these are all things I want to try to recreate in my kitchen as I would be sad if I never tasted any of these dishes ever again. Which is rather remarkable considering I always gravitate toward meat dishes. I'm nowhere near as talented as the wonderful chefs at Twisted Fork, but it will be a temporary solution until I next make a trip up to Vancouver to get my Twisted Fork fix. The semifreddo was especially noteworthy. We had no idea what it was when we ordered it, but now I'm on a warpath to find any variation of it in San Francisco or the nearby Bay Area. The menu description of it is frozen vanilla scented whipped cream marbled with blueberry jam, topped with berry compote and walnut drop cookies. Weird description (vanilla scented?!), but it was delightful. I think we basically licked this plate clean too. This is a must-eat place in Vancouver. It is a little pricey, but I actually think the prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food, drinks, and service. read more

One fun adn exciting place to visit. Service is awesome, we loved the place while on vacation.

Please read this review! From Seattle on a weekend getaway and had the absolute worst breakfast of our stay. Eggs were severely overcooked. The sweet salsa with the frittata was ill placed and the spinach salad felt like an afterthought. How hard is it to make good breakfast? If you wanna find out go to Twisted Fork. Horrible! The ginger beer was the only edible item. Likely because it wasn't made by the restaurant. We had the baked egg dish and the frittata. Both are dry and underwhelming. One more thing! The upholstery is filthy please get it professionally cleaned and throw the pillows in the wash. read more

Love the food although can never finish the dishes. Prefer brunch over dinner menu though. Croque Monsieur is my favourite.

I was in for brunch a few weeks ago and the Twisted Fork provided warmth, food, and shelter to protect me from the torrential rain outside. Ok, maybe torrential is a little over the line, but it was raining harder than normal in the pacific NW. I had the honey lager sausage with chipotle ratatouille and poached egg. It was savory, rich, sweet, and a little spicy here and there. It was an incredible combination of flavors and left me full and completely satisfied. The coffee was freshly brewed in a french press and was strong and rich (although the rainy weather and full belly did lead me to take a nap immediately after brunch!). The staff was friendly and attentive, but casual. Kind of like you were hanging out in a friend's house, except your friends are professionally trained chefs, bring you your food and don't ask for help with the dishes. If Yelp had 4.99 stars I would rate it that, with -.01 stars because we sat at the bar and the passage between the bar and the tables was narrow enough that the servers gave me a little bump (unintentionally, I think!) as they walked past. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Great food, service and $3.95 bottomless french press...awesome

Brunch is for the indecisive. The fence sitters. The folks who blur the line between late-morning birds and early afternoon critters. The diners who can't decide between pancakes or paninis, so let's indulge in both! Twisted fork has a nice blend of classic breakfast-y items (ie scones), but also standard brunch fare. For all the hype, Twisted fork was a let-down. The food wasn't bad, the baked eggs were overdone, the roasted tomatoes nothing special, the sauteed spinach greasy, the omelette was nothing to write home about. I will rave about their AWESOME in-house ketchup though! Was it worth the 1 hour wait on Saturday morning? No, not really. But, if there's no wait or you are dying to find out for yourself, it's not a bad place to sit down for a meal. read more

Had Sunday morning brunch here. Ordered the vegetable hash, as well as the banana french toast. Food was delicious! Coffee came out in a french press. The staff came by to check in on us multiple times, and provided great suggestions. We went early, and we were lucky enough to be seated almost immediately. By the time we were leaving, a line started to form. So go early! We arrived around 9am. read more

One of my favourite brunch spots. Warm food served fast. You can stay as long as you wish! Great friendly service. Definately worth the visit! read more

Dinner on a Thursday night. Very small - opens at 5:30 and doesn't take reservations (annoying) but we were there early so no issues getting a table. Great Blue Fence special if you order by 6:30. Great service - we were there for over 3 hours (here that? Les Faux Burgeous!!) and the servers were so good we hardly noticed them doing their job - yet we never had to wait for the wine to be poured, plates to be cleared or water to be refilled. Great spot, will go again. read more

Every time I come to this restaurant I have exceptional service and wicked food! Definitely a diamond in the rough of Granville street. The artwork inside is unique and the demeanour of the staff is always welcoming. read more

I have been here twice for brunch and both times I was very impressed. The eggs benny are amazing and are some of the best you can have in Vancouver. Great food, but get there early as it packs early. Recommend getting there for the open so you don't have to sit and wait.... read more

Our first breakfast place on this short trip to Vancouver and we were very pleased with it. I ordered the Banana stuffed brioche French toast and it was, in few words, amazing. I'm not a huge banana fan and I honestly loved this. Service was really good and there was a 30 minute wait (on a Saturday morning around 10am) but nobody else was dining with only 2 people so we were seated right away! Reasonably priced for the large amount of food they provide. read more

Wow! Great place for brunch with unique food that are well prepared and lovely when put together. Like unicorns gathering in the forest concocting a magical brunch for the ages. Scones yes, coffee fresh pressed wow. Brutus is unique and great. House made ketchup yum. Jams Devine. Just go here! read more

Stopped in early and had an awesome poached egg/ratatouille meal for breakfast. Totally love this quirky little place and their awesome coffee. read more

Ate here on a weekday morning, so not overly busy The food was ok, just ok. The service was pretty bad. None of the servers looked like they were too happy to be there ... and not a single f***k was given. I tried to tell the server that I am allergic to Almonds, she barely looked at me. I asked for soy milk ... she offers Almond milk. Just wasn't impressed at all. read more

I am a fan of egg Benedict and always that is my first choice ! Personally I did not like their egg Benedict compare with my other fav brunch place!Plus beans as a side dish was a bad idea plus a taste. read more

Twisted Fork - French Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

mussels night on tuesday. 1lb for $8, with regular/yam frites. The house pinot grigio is delicious. Chocolate cake: to die for. "Dark chocolate sponge cake with a hint of sauerkraut, with red wine poached pears and housemade lavender scented ice cream". The pears and red wine reduction blew me away. the icecream is a thick (like frozen custard), vanilla treat with luscious lavendar notes that titilated my tastebuds. The cake is rich and dense but almost secondary to the other flavours This was, by far, the most delicious part of the evening. Mussels: The fries are served right on top. the cream sauce is VERY creamy, easy to scoop up with the breadrolls they provide (so my companion says). Mussels themselves are on the small size, but for $8 i'm not complaining. Great value for money on Tuesday but I wouldn't neccesarily get these at regular price. Server was really attentive and lovely. She mentioned the 3 courses for $25 special, Monday-Thursday (6-7pm). Thinking I may just have to give it a try too! read more

I came here for the breakfast one time, it was excellent. Sat at the bar with a friend, our dish was superb! Mine was brioche something,,, (can;t remember too well now) and my friend had the banana something.. (can't remember again..) But what I remember was that even though I waited 40min to sit down, the food made it all worth it! Very generous portion, but I have no problem with finishing it of course.. hahahahaha. Then I came for a dinner, had Salmon Rillette and Fernie Frites, and my friend had duck breasts. Her food was pretty good, generous portion again. My salmon Rillette was also good. But the fernie Frites.. was not so good. It was a bit soggy at the beginning, not crispy for sure. But I kept eating and at one point I asked the server if this is supposed to be soggy, she said, that's how we make them?!?! I know it's been about 15min since I got it, but it can't turn that soggy?! But she did offer to refry it, and then it was more crispy, now just more burnt that's all. Other than that the dinner was good, had a really good talk with a girlfriend. I would come back for the breakfast for sure! ! ! ! ! ! ! read more

Came here before on Tuesdays for their special fries. It was a little salty for me but it also could have been because I ordered 4. Great with friends and the atmosphere is very nice! read more

We loved this place! Very simple and civilized system to get your name on the waiting list. The service was wonderful and the food was epic. The scones are a must, try their Bloody Mary's with the balsamic, super tasty. We all loved the Croque Monsieur! Excellent brunch choice! read more

great food, great service! French toast and frittata were amazing. 30 minute wait but so worth it!!

Excellent food and staff! The bartender was friendly and helpful. We had the croque monsieur and the avocado benny which were excellently presented and very flavorful. Would eat here every day if I leaves nearby! Coffee was good too :) read more

Wow, really good brunch! My pal and I were looking for a place for a special brunch, not too pricey, usual brunch fair, but with some style -- and this hit the mark! On a Sunday around 1pm, we waited 20 minutes for a table, food was great, service great, shared chocolate dessert supreme! read more
