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.

For sides, enjoy crispy hashbrowns, fresh sourdough with jam, and a bowl of fresh fruits.
