What’s the vibe at Yolks?
Just plain Yolks. With white-painted walls and yellow highlights, Yolks is like dining inside a big egg. The restaurant is all about the Cult of Brunch and prides itself on its hollandaise sauce made from locally sourced cage-free organic egg yolks. There are three locations, all suitable for everyone, from groups of hungover millennials to families looking for something to please moms, dads, kids, and grandparents.
What are the prices like at Yolks?
Moderate. It’s next to impossible to find brunch under $20 these days, and that’s just a straight-up fact.
What should I order at Yolks?
In the savory category, diners gravitate towards the pork belly and maple-smoked ham bennies, while the sweet-toothed crowd goes for the double blueberry pancakes and Nutella cheesecake waffle (to go with your Nutella latte). Recommended options include the house-cured wild BC salmon, fresh avocado benny, or an intimidating stack of cinnamon roll pancakes topped with caramel pecans and Philly cream cheese icing. Smoothies, milkshakes, three kinds of mimosas and breakfast cocktails are also available.
What’s worth visiting nearby?
The West End location is close to downtown and the seawall, as well as neighboring shops and boutiques on Davie Street. Near the Broadway Yolks, you’ll find City Hall (which is not worth the walk unless you have a traffic ticket to pay for) and big-box shopping. For those determined to keep a post-brunch buzz on, the East Van edition is close to several craft breweries.
