GET Mom's day off to a great start by taking her to brunch.
On the North Shore, Rockford Grill is introducing a brand new brunch menu just in time to fête mom. The roster of dishes includes roasted salmon hash, made with wild B.C. salmon; French toast stuffed with mascarpone cheese, strawberries and candied pecans; and eggs benedict poutine, which is just what it sounds like: fresh-cut fries topped with cheese curds and gravy, a poached egg and scratch-made hollandaise.
If you're keen to venture further afield, Yew Restaurant and Bar in Four Seasons Vancouver is offering a Mother's Day Brunch featuring a "Celebration of Seafood Raw Bar." On the menu: B.C. spot prawns, served with chimichurri and romesco sauces; a tasty selection of freshly shucked oysters with honey pearls, horseradish, lemon and mignonette; king crab legs with lime aioli and wild sockeye salmon gravlax.
