It's What's For Brunch: Wildlight Kitchen + Bar in West Point Grey

No weekend is complete without brunch, and Wildlight Kitchen + Bar is ready to round out its all-day offerings with its inspired take on the leisurely morning meal. The new premium-casual West Point Grey restaurant launched its weekend brunch service earlier this month and features a menu showcasing sustainable, regional, and seasonal ingredients and lively libations celebrating the West Coast.

As part of the Leləm̓ Village development, between the University Endowment Lands and Pacific Spirit Regional Park, the menu and space are reflective of the restaurant which is situated at the edge of the forest. The decor is light and chic, with west coast influences everywhere. Wildlight is spacious with high ceilings, full windows, and abundant natural lighting from corner to corner – which makes for great photos and an incredible dining experience!

“It is so thrilling to see our concept come to light,” said Brenton Smith, Wildlight general manager. “We can’t wait for guests to experience what we have created at Wildlight Kitchen + Bar.” Brunch is available Saturdays and Sundays from 9am until 2pm. Wildlight’s brunch menu was created by Executive Chef Warren Chow, who brings his French technique, Vancouver roots, and global inspirations to his bold but approachable roster of classic dishes with a decidedly Pacific Northwest twist.

Brunch menu plant-based highlights include the Crispy Oyster Mushroom Burger (tempura oyster mushrooms, plant-based togarashi mayo, cabbage slaw, house-made bread & butter pickles), the Grilled Beet Salad (red and golden beets, compressed Okanagan apples, sunflower shoots, roasted hazelnuts), Crispy Tofu Bowl (chili garlic salt, vegan fish sauce, soba noodles, avocado, edamame, spicy cucumber, and cashews). For sides, enjoy crispy hashbrowns, fresh sourdough with jam, and a bowl of fresh fruits.

To complement Chef Chow’s brunch dishes, Bar Manager Aman Nijjar has curated a robust list of feature beverages, ranging from the bubbly Sunday Spritz (sparkling wine, Aperol, soda, and Campari) served on the rocks, and refreshing spirit-free drinks like the Cosmo Lemonade (lemon, cranberry, and soda), the Rumless Pomm Daquiri (Lumette non-alcoholic LumRum, grenadine, spiced syrup, and citrus).

Pattison Food Groups First Foray

“The restaurant is inspired by our love of the ocean, the forests and the shoreline of beautiful British Columbia,” said Justin McGregor, General Manager of Restaurants at Pattison Food Group at the VIP preview event in January. “It is a celebration of West Coast culture and cuisine where our chef, Warren Chow, has crafted a menu with an exceptionally strong focus on local B.C. flavours and ingredients with variations from around the world.”
