I can’t believe I forgot to write about this place, but on Valentines Day a few girlfriends and I ventured off to East Van and ate Yolk’s for brunch !
I’ve been wanting to try this place for quite a while now, hearing loads about it from friends and seeing plenty of mouth-watering instagram photos. But like any other popular brunch place in Vancouver, we had to wait around 30 minutes before they could seat us.
Was it worth it the wait? Hell yeah ! Terri and Summer both ordered the chicken and waffles, which seem to be the new popular dish that everyone orders when available. It seems like it would be a weird combination, but it was actually strangely delicious. But then again, waffles and fried chicken are both such amazing foods individually that I guess it makes sense that they taste delicious together. It’s like french fries and a McFlurry from McDonalds. If you haven’t tried french fries dipped in a McFlurry from McDonalds, I highly recommend you stop reading this post, and drive to the nearest McDonalds drive-thru and try it. UNF.
And guess what I got …… EGGS BENEDICT SURPRISE SURPRISE. Yolk’s had this “create your own breakfast” type of deal where you got to pick what you wanted in your breakfast “sandwich”. I got the Eggs benedict with hand carved honey ham, fresh spinach, Yolk’s made dijon, one egg, and truffle lemon hash browns.
In my honest opinion, I would tell you to order something other than the eggs benedict if you ever visit Yolk’s. Don’t get me wrong, it was definitely good, but do other Vancouver brunch places do it better? Mmmmm, yes. So I would save the trip down to Yolk’s for a different brunch dish.
BUT you pretty much HAVE to try their lemon truffle hash browns. They are insanely delicious. I couldn’t finish the entire serving of the hash browns just because I can’t have too much truffle oil on anything because it is too strong of a taste for me, but it was definitely worth trying. All three of us agreed that the lemon truffle hash browns were one of the best things we ordered there.
Here is the Yolk’s website and Yolk’s menu incase you wanted to check it out before you made the trip. As far as ratings go, I would give this place an 8/10. Definitely worth checking out , but I wouldn’t coin this place my favourite brunch place quite yet.
