Restaurant Post – Belgard Kitchen

We went to Belgard Kitchen for Curtis’s birthday brunch with my sister. The space is really vibrant, located in what is known as the Settlement Building in Railtown. It houses the kitchen, Postmark Brewery, Roaring Twenties Wine, Fresh Tap (the bar) and Vancouver Urban Winery. The enormous wooden front entrance doors are something else along with the large framed windows along the exterior. The interior is such a vast space with very high ceilings, reclaimed wood throughout, big open bar, mixture of modern and eclectic pieces for seating and décor. There are large, leather booths in the back tucked away surrounded by vintage pictures of the area. I will have to keep in mind they are just down the street from Ask for Luigi, which makes it a great place to have drinks while waiting for a table.

I ordered the Coconut Quinoa Porridge. This was delicious, the flavours were great and the serving size was spot on. It was quinoa in almond milk, topped with fresh fruit and almonds. I loved it!

My sister ordered the Belgard Brunch Burger, which was Pemberton Meadows beef, Village Cheese Works cheddar, caramelized onions, house relish, iceberg, tomato, fried egg, brioche bun and brunch spuds. It was delicious, I stole a bite! She also commented it wasn’t greasy at all, which to us is very important. I don’t want to feel gross and sluggish after having a burger.
 

Curtis, the birthday boy, ordered the Belgard Meatball Brunch Skillet, which was fresh mozza, San Marzano tomato sauce, poached eggs, smoky onion, parmesan cream and brunch spuds. He wolfed that down, but I stole a couple of bites before he did. The sauce was great, spicy but full of great flavours. The meatballs were juicy and flavourful. The brunch spuds were yummy! They also were seasoned very well and were great to dip in the leftover sauce.

Alanna and I both had wine spritzers with our meals, very refreshing drinks for brunch.
 

Overall, brunch was delicious. I cannot wait to come back and try their dinner menu. If brunch was that good, dinner should be exciting!
