20 Restaurants Offering Easter Meals and Treats in Vancouver

Easter long weekend is for spending time with family, catching up on the tasks we have put off since January and, of course, finding the best place to dine out on Easter Sunday. Vancouver is no stranger to great weekend spots, but these places are pulling out all the stops for Easter.

1. Bacchus Restaurant & Lounge

As soon as the planter boxes on the windowsills of the Wedgewood are bursting with flowers, we know it’s about time to celebrate Easter at Bacchus. Catch their three-course brunch ($85 per person; $45 for children under 12) while you can, only available from 10:30 am to 2pm on Sunday April 20th. This menu features new dishes by their executive chef Stefan Hartmann, like the roasted carrot coconut soup, eggs benedict with smoked salmon or crispy pork belly to start, whole roasted prime rib with Yorkshire pudding, and (if, after all that, you can manage it) the Wedgewood carrot cake with marzipan and cream cheese.
