This is Kitsilano. The neighbourhood restaurants and coffee shops are our kitchen, the patio’s our stoop. We pick up the Sunday Times every weekend at the corner grocery shop.
Our weekends are spent walking the beach, cycling the seawall and meeting friends at The Smoking Dog French Bistro where brunch in the dining room is all about friends and family, eating great food, lingering over coffee.
In the winter we wear our favourite old sweater to “the dog”; in the spring the windows are open and cherry blossom petals float in on the breeze; in the summer we say hello/bonjour from the patio to our neighbours as they walk by.
Kitsilano is all about friends and family and eating and drinking.
Kitsilano is all about brunch at The Smoking Dog French Bistro. (menu below)
Now open for Brunch 10 am – 3 pm Saturdays, Sundays and most holidays. Patio open, weather permitting. Reservations suggested but not required.
