Consider the age-old question – is a weekend without brunch – really a weekend? Wildlight Kitchen + Bar rounds out its all-day offerings with its inspired take on the leisurely mid-morning meal. The new premium-casual West Point Grey restaurant launched its weekend brunch service earlier this month. It 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 reflect it being 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’s general manager. “We can’t wait for guests to experience what we have created at Wildlight Kitchen + Bar.” Wildlight’s brunch menu is the creation of Executive Chef Warren Chow. He brings his French technique, Vancouver roots, and global inspirations to his bold but approachable roster of classic dishes with a decidedly Pacific Northwest twist. As for the experience, Wildlight offers a spacious and chic environment with high ceilings and full windows, providing abundant natural lighting and a great backdrop for photos. The restaurant is also located in the Leləm̓ Village development, perfectly reflecting its setting at the edge of the forest with its decor. Additionally, guests can enjoy their brunch on the tasting plates kitilano patio, soaking up the beautiful West Coast atmosphere while indulging in Chef Chow’s delectable creations.
