Brunch in Steveston Village at Vogue Cafe

You want brunch in Steveston Village that feels like a French bistro, not a hotel buffet. Vogue Cafe opens at 10:30am every day and runs brunch plates until 3pm, so you can roll in after a walk on the boardwalk or a coffee at the Cannery and still catch the late-morning light on the covered side patio.

The menu is written on the window and priced in plain numbers. Savoury crêpes — thin buckwheat galettes — come five ways at $17: European ham, cheese and egg; sautéed spinach, feta, tomato and egg; beer sausage, tomato and cheese; mushroom, spinach and egg; or mushroom, beer sausage, tomato and cheese. Buckwheat gives the edges a lace-crisp snap that wheat crêpes never quite manage, and the batter rests long enough to develop that nutty, earthy perfume.

If you lean toward the classics, the croque monsieur ($17) layers European ham and cheese on brioche with a side salad; the croque madame adds a fried egg on top; the croque veggie swaps ham for sautéed spinach and egg. Quiche Lorraine and spinach quiche with Brie sit beside them at the same price — custard set just firm, crust butter-short. French onion soup à l'ancienne ($17) arrives with marrow-bone broth, a raft of cheese and a crouton that holds its shape.

Sweet crêpes ($14) are buttery wheat, not buckwheat: Nutella and banana, chocolate strawberry, sugar and lemon, apple with house-made caramel, sugar butter cinnamon, and the Suzette flamed with orange sauce and Grand Marnier. Desserts are made in house — caramel chocolate tart, strawberry tart, lemon tart, chocolate éclair, coffee éclair — each $10.

The espresso bar pulls doubles at $4, americano $5, latte and cappuccino $6 (iced versions the same). Tea $5. San Pellegrino 750 ml and Evian 750 ml are $7. Soft drinks $5. Wine by the glass: 6 oz $11, 9 oz $15, bottle $45 — Côtes du Rhône, Merlot Pays d'Oc, Mouton Cadet red and white, BC Gamay and Cabernet Franc, Viognier, Back Forty sparkling, and La Vieille Ferme rosé. Beer: Kronenbourg 1664 and Heineken $9, Barnside Brewing draught flights from Delta. Cocktails $13 — Aperol Spritz, Hugo Spritz, Paris Spritz, Kir Royale, Chambord Royale, Cognac Highball, Gin & Soda French Style, Shaft, Caramel Café. Spirits $6 single, $9 double.

The room is deep-red walls, wood tables, a small bar, string lights across the heritage storefront. Out front, bar-height patio tables catch the Moncton Street bustle; the covered side patio has greenery walls and red-checkered cloths. A dog bowl sits by the door. Fully licensed until midnight; private dining for 7–10 guests, events for 10+ by arrangement. Reservations via the website form or call (604) 370-4444 — confirmed within two hours.

Walk in after the boardwalk, claim a patio table, order a galette and a latte. That’s the rhythm.
