8 Reviews on “Twisted Fork Bistro”
A small little bistro with characters located on Granville Street. From their welcoming staff all the way down to their menu, Twisted Fork Bistro will not fail to impress you.We had Eggs Benedict that was served on brioche bread, with house-made hash brown & baked beans. Their Eggs Benedicts were cooked to perfection.Overall, the food was scrumptious – and we were pleasantly gratified. They might be on the expensive side, but we would say is definitely worth it.
Although Ive read a lot about the long lineups and wait times of up to 1 hr during the weekends, the place was actually half-empty when I visited (12:30 pm on a Wednesday), and I was promptly seated. Although they have a pretty good variety of delicious-sounding breakfast/brunch items, I knew easily what I wanted to order: their famous French Toast. I also had a cup of their coffee to accompany my meal. The food was tasty, and I really liked the overall relaxed vibe of the place and the staff members, who were cheerful and friendly without ever being overbearing. While I do think that the restaurant is a tad over-hyped, I still had a great experience, and will certainly be coming back.French Toast ($16.5)4/5This consisted of three large slices of brioche bread sandwiching a generous amount of banana filling, accompanied by fresh whipped cream, a shot glass of syrup and a few slices of strawberries and apples. The brioche bread was extremely soft and fluffy, with a slightly crispy exterior. Unfortuantely, the banana filling didn’t do much for me; while it added a nice texture and fragrance (and of course, fibre and potassium), it was largely flavourless. In spite of the apperance, I actually found the french toast by itself to be on the bland side. Drizzled with the syrup and whipping cream however, and it was jsut perfect. I was also surprised by how filling it was; in spite of my massive appetite, I actually had to push myself to finish the last 1/2 slice. Coffee ($4):They serve their coffee in a french press. I cant speak much about the quality of the coffee (I honestly cant tell the difference between a cup from McDonalds or one from an acclaimed artisanal coffee shop like Timbertrain – they all taste the same to me), but I thought it was pretty fun to steep and pour my own coffee. There was about 3 cups worth in the press (I only had 2 as I havent been sleeping too well recently and didnt want to over-caffeinate).
Smoked salmon eggs benny with added turkey sausage. Fresh pressed coffee. All superb and delicious. Comfortable seating. A definite must visit for brunch in downtown Vancouver.
Mediocre food at best. Tried it twice. Both times, when we ordered, the eggs were overlooked, and most rid the food was cold. Obviously they did their best to fix it, but the food still lacked consistency and taste. Seasoning was also lacking both times. There are many other places with better food.
Our last breakfast stop on this mini vacation. We arrived at about 8:30 and there was plenty of room. Starting to fill up when we left. All brunch items are the same price here. No kids’ menu. They don’t have pancakes/waffles, so the kids’ choices were a little trickier. The Wife had Smoked Salmon Eggs Benny. She thought it was good, but it was served on a slice of brioche that could have been toastier. Spinach and baked beans on the side. My wife enjoyed the spinach, but took a pass on baked beans for breakfast. I ate them. They were fine. I had the Frittata. It was fine. Light on andouille and veggies. It came with a corn relish and some mixed greens. All fine. I wished I had chosen the French Toast. The kids did choose the French Toast, but without bananas stuffed inside the brioche. It was pretty good. It came with a giant pile of vanilla whipped cream. We had to get some banana bread to supplement their syrup-breakfast appetites. The banana bread was tasty, but nothing special. It had nuts. Twisted Fork was good, but I think I’d opt for Jam Cafe as our go to breakfast spot.
Simple brunch offerings. The egg benny was good, perfect egg, but compared to elsewhere, I’m not a huge fan of its side dishes. I liked the spinach but not so much the hash or the beans. Nothing bad with it in terms of tastes, just a personal preference.
We came here on a recommendation from a friend…. And it didn’t’t disappoint, it was fantastic food in a packed little vintage space with great buzz going for a morning and music to boot – jazz.Although there wasn’t a table available they were accommodating in allowing us to sit at the counter.I did notice their polite message to ask patrons not to hang about once finished their food as others may very well be waiting…. Yes they may very well be waiting, as was I, desperate to try, I wanted to grab that seat and have breakfast but I didn’t want to rush mine or anyone else’s butt off it either I like to allow at least a little time for my food to settle.Staff were busy although at times did find time to stand at the end of the counter and chat about life and missed the opportunity to be attentive hence the mark down in our review.
