One of Burnaby’s oldest restaurants has landed on a prestigious list for its yummy brunches.
Oh, and the atmosphere.
That’s part of what makes for a great brunch and Burnaby’s Hart House has it all.
OpenTable announced the 100 Best Brunch Restaurants in Canada for 2022 and Hart House was the only entry from Burnaby.
The Hart House offers a deep menu of brunch items, and when the weather is warm it also has the city’s best patio, with a stunning view of Deer Lake to go with its fresh seafood, plus such fare as the “knuckle sandwich” that includes lobster, tomato jam, lemon tarragon aioli and arugula.
Bruch has benedicts, but it also offers pasta with Lois Lake steelhead, plus the Middle Eastern shakshuka.
The list is aptly timed, as 66% of Canadian diners believe choosing the right restaurant is the most important part of the Mother’s Day experience, said OpenTable.
“We are seeing pent up demand for dining out across the country with reservations up 21 percent compared to pre-pandemic levels. Mothers and mother figures will be truly celebrated this year, as they should, and OpenTable’s 100 Best Brunch list is the perfect place for inspiration as Canadians plan to honour the mother figures in their lives,” said Matt Davis, Country Director, OpenTable Canada.
