Best Brunch in and around Main Street and Mount Pleasant

2420 Main St | 604-568-7554 $$ | Modern Diner

The Wallflower is a place for all types of eaters: vegans, celiacs and omnivores. This casual, hipster joint offers breakfast every day until 4PM and is often lined up on weekends. Try the polenta omelette with your choice of fillings -- it gets my vote for best vegan brunch plate in town. The Tofu Huevos is another stand-out breakfast entree.

15 W 8th Ave | 604-620-4589 $$ | Brewpub

33 Acres Brewing Co. proves that a lengthy brunch menu does not necessarily equal success. Their tiny, super solid, two-item menu creates a lineup at the 11am opening hour. Choose from an Avocado Smash on (Nelson the Seagull's amazing sourdough) and Beer waffles topped with a poached egg, crispy bacon or a scoop of seriously good Earnest Ice Cream. And obviously, beer for brunch is a must here.

3250 Main St | 604-875-6246 $$ | Latin American
