Best Eggs Benedict in Vancouver
By Vancity Buzz
With plenty of variations on the classic theme, here are our picks for where to find the best Eggs Benedict in Vancouver.
-
Yolk's Breakfast + Commissary
Plot out your chart to Eggs Benedict happiness at [Yolk's sit-down restaurant](http://yolks.ca/restaurant/) by choosing what you want to pair your poached eggs with (double smoked bacon, honey ham or portobello mushroom), and pick to have 'em "Benedict Style."
-
Twisted Fork
Brunchtime diners can do some mixing and matching with their Twisted Fork Eggs Benny, which are served on brioche toast. Build it up with whatever "filler" you choose, from roasted chicken to smoked salmon, ham or bacon, or veggie options like roasted tomato.
-
Forage
http://www.foragevancouver.com/
It's a bonus that a restaurant of the calibre of Forage happens to be in a hotel, since that means they're open for breakfast and brunch. At this sustainable eatery on the cusp of the West End and Downtown their morning meals are sublime, and their menu thankfully includes Eggs Benedict.
-
Café Zen
There are a whopping 15 choices in the Benny column on the Café Zen [menu](http://cafezenonyew.com/menu.php), and what's even better is you can do your own combos of ingredients like chorizo, avocado, crab, peameal bacon, and much more.
-
Heirloom
Meat isn't a must for an Eggs Benny, and at one of Vancouver's best vegetarian restaurant, [Heirloom](http://heirloomrestaurant.ca/brunch-lunch/), they make the most out of veggies by offering several twists on the classic, including their Beet Back-Bacon Benny, with wilted spinach and maple-glazed beets.
-
FABLE
Top Chef Canada vet Trevor Bird has three kinds of Eggs Benedict on the menu of his farm-to-table focused Fable, all made with olive oil Hollandaise. Choose from ham, spinach, or the fish feature (and hope for the smoked trout).
-
Jethro's Fine Grub
http://www.jethrosfinegrub.com/
Sure, you can get a classic Eggs Benedict at Jethro's, but this quirky daytime-only restaurant with two locations keeps things interesting with their Papas Eggs Benedict (made with crispy potato skins instead of an English Muffin) or the La Nina (grilled corn cake Benedict with Tex-Mex chili).

-
Scoozis Mediterranean Bar + Grill
Scoozis gets a lot of love for their brunch menu, including their Eggs Benedict, especially for visitors to Vancouver staying in Downtown. Go for the ultimate vacation (or staycation) style indulgence and get your Benny on a croissant.
-
The Elbow Room Café
http://www.theelbowroomcafe.com/
Things get a little wild at the Elbow Room, where you'll find their broad range of interpretations of Eggs Benedict on a section of the menu called ["13 Dishes to Delight."](http://www.theelbowroomcafe.com/menu/thirteendishes.html) In exchange for the giggle factor of ordering a "Come-I-Wanna-Lay-Ya" you may get sassed by the staff, which is all part of the Elbow Room's, errr, charm.
-
The Union
Score one...or three...for originality, for the trio of "Bao Bun Bennies" at The Union, each of which plays on classic Asian flavours, served on bao buns and topped with Hollandaise.
