  this is easily my favorite breakfast / brunch location in Vancouver. Food is extremely delicious, great service, nice interior, and free WiFi via hotel next door.
  
  We ordered two items and a flight of beers. our favorite of the beers was the gose which is a type of sour. For breakfast we got the halibut benny and the bison hash. Both were amazing but my favorite of the two has to be the bison hash. The corned bison was melt in your mouth tender and it was layered with kale, grilled veges, potatoes, and topped with two sunny side up eggs. It also came with sour dough toast which complimented the dish perfectly.
  
  I am 100% coming back here again next time I am in Vancouver and this is my favorite brunch spot to date!

  I like whirlwind excursions.
  
  Most of our trips encompass so many different sights and activities in relatively short order. Yes, we do take time to enjoy the scenery and the moments. Still, I do like the idea of elevating the excitement level by traversing great distances.
  
  Typically, we visit multiple locations and multiple states on a road trip.
  This time around, now that my wife seems to have overcome her trepidation with flying, I've been able to up the ante even more.
  
  Such was my intent during our recent trip to Seattle. We just got done with our Montana / Wyoming excursion. We hopped on a plan and headed to Seattle. And since we were in Washington state anyway. Why not dip out (go up?) to Canada?
  
  Wouldn't that be fun? I asked her, as I nodded in cadence with her, as if I were trying to influence her approval.
  
  Thus, we headed on out, calling an audible on our itinerary. What better way to cap off this vacation than to take her on her first outing outside of the US?
  
  Yes, that is correct!
  
  She has never been outside of the continental US. That will soon change as we are taking her on a tour of Asia next year. That all has been approved, planned, and booked.
  
  We drove up to Vancouver and spent some time at the Listel Hotel. And went looking around downtown Vancouver.
  
  We were famished; therefore, we opted to try out the Hotel's brunch offering.
  
  I will tell you now, their offerings were superb. My wife had the French Toast with Bacon. It was well plated, and quite appetizing. The bacon was nice and crispy. The French Toast was light and fluffy.
  
  I had the mushroom Omelets and breakfast potatoes. Although, not a fan of the bland omelet by itself. The sauce accouterments that came with it livened it up.
  
  The service was excellent. Both servers were quite attentive, and the restaurant itself was well appointed and sparkling. Even the bathroom was immaculate.
  
  This is a premiere spot, which the reviews indicated. And should be on your list of brunch destinations when in Vancouver.
  
  We can't wait for our return trip, when we can spend more time in this marvelous city!

  It says a lot when you're sharing your initial Vancouver itinerary with your friend who loves Vancouver, and she says "I see you already have Forage on your list!"
  
  Likewise, my Airbnb host pointed out how good it is, so it was definitely a must-try.
  
  I had placed a reservation, but there was plenty of seating available. That said, I was envious of the groups seated outside, but the bar was fine, especially being able to see all the plates go by. My appetizer was an easy call, but the entree was tough. All the sea items sound good, as did the butcher's steak. After talking with the bartender, he pointed out we were in halibut season and that would be the best fish to go with.
  
  -Award-winning BBQ duck chowder, Berezan shrimp, crab & shrimp toast: Yeah, I get it. The crab & shrimp toast sits on top of a delicious chowder full of large pieces of duck and shrimp. Every spoonful comes away with a piece of meat, and is just super flavorful. You have to get this.
  
  -Pan seared halibut, clam & pea dashi, wasabi mustard greens, hakurei turnip, dragon tongue beans, horse radish: I ate so much fish on this trip, and this was probably the most refreshing. A bright green plate full of veggies, a veggie sauce, and the halibut in the middle. Light, but the sauce combines well with the flavor. Glad I got to try it.
  
  A fine option for a single person, but definitely go with a group to enjoy more of this locally sourced, far less guilt generating delicious food.

  A beautiful little place, we came for breakfast on a weekday (come early, breakfast ends at 10 am!)
  
  FOOD--
  We opted for the French toast and plate that comes with eggs, toast, bacon, and potatoes. French toast was really good, and the toast comes with really fresh tasting jam! My eggs were over easy and they were perfect! Bacon was also well cooked. I asked for onions with my potatoes, they said it came with onions, but it def didn't lol. Not a big deal. They also I've you a salsa like sauce with it. It's kinda sweet and very different.
  
  They have a lot of gluten free options!
  
  SERVICE--
  Lovely!!! Everyone was super nice and helpful. Such genuine people.
  
  I'd be back!

  I was led to Forage via a recommendation from another chef and it didn't disappoint.
  Service was friendly and informative. Our server guided us through the menu and how it tells the story of BC ingredients and landscape
  We enjoyed the wine flight which is a great value!
  My favorite dish was the vision cut. It was cooked perfectly and was flavorful and juicy. Every time we are in Vancouver we will be returning!
