Cache Bistro - Brunch

1269 Hamilton Street
Vancouver, BC

See? Told'ya I'd be back again haha... This time, W and I, along with 2 other friends went to sample Cache's brunch menu on a Saturday morning (Brunch is only served on weekends and holidays).

Originally, we all wanted to order an eggs benedict each but we all had a hard time deciding which one to choose. Kinson, the owner (who stopped by with his adorable baby daughter!), came by and suggested that we order one of each of the eggs benny and an order of their waffle to share between the 4 of us. That was a good idea and thank goodness we did so because the eggs benny were quite rich so, with a little bit here and a little bit there, it was more than enough to fill our tummies!

Caché signature foie gras benedict

Foie Gras terrine, truffle hollandaise, croissant

The ingredients in this one speak for itself on why this is their priciest item on the menu. The foie gras was creamy and rich but it could have benefited from a quick sear on the pan to give it more texture. I think the star of this dish has got to be the truffle hollandaise sauce. The aroma and the earthiness of the truffles just oozes from the pale golden sauce! Everyone was clamoring to wipe the sauce, spilled onto the plate, with the yam hash! The yam hash was equally delicious, although it may be because I love yam fries and this was quite similar.

Crab cake benedict

Grilled portobello mushroom, spinach, hollandaise

With the same sides as the above, this eggs benny did not come with a croissant though. The medium poached eggs sat on top of a large meaty crab cake. I thought the house-made ketchup went nicely with the crab cake to give it some zing.

Smoked salmon benedict

Salmon gravlax, dill hollandaise croissant

Belgian waffle

Canadian maple syrup

Our final eggs benny featured smoked salmon. I thought this was the most ordinary eggs benny out of the 3 but it was still delicious nonetheless.

In the background was the Belgian waffle with maple syrup and a sliced strawberry for garnish. We left the waffle to eat at the end and perhaps due to this, the waffle was not warm and fluffy anymore. It seemed a bit small but it acted as a nice closing dessert for our brunch.

As I'm writing this, I am craving for eggs benny now! Also, Cache now serves lunch on weekdays in addition to brunch on the weekends/holidays. I guess visit #3 is in order haha...
