Our story
We have put our heart and soul into Brioche’s redesign and welcome guests to our new location at 103 Columbia St. in Vancouver. Founded in Gastown in 2003, we bring traditional Sicilian cooking and culture into a West Coast setting, using fresh, simple, high-quality ingredients to create a unique fusion of Sicilian and North American cuisines.Today, we continue that journey with the flavours and charm of our Sicilian roots in an elevated setting. Guests can join us for breakfast, lunch, dinner, take-out, delivery through our partners, catering, and private bookings, all served with the warm atmosphere and friendly service that define Brioche.

The food here is great. This is my second time having breakfast, first at the new location and the food did not disappoint. My only reason for 4/5 stars is there are no baby changing table in the washroom. Had to change my 1 yr old standing up on the bathroom sink. I hope to return for dinner to taste if it is as good as breakfast. Servers were nice as well.
The server was very friendly and prompt. He went out of his way to ensure that a vegan member of our group could be accommodated.The food was good, but a little overpriced. Flavourful ravioli of the day, and I really like how you can choose your own sauce. Portions were a little on the smaller side, but delicious. It would have been a nice touch for the bread to be more garlicky or something, but the texture wasn't bad! The serving plates are definitely a statement piece.The interior is comfortable and cosy, a little barlike. We went on a Tuesday night so it wasn't too busy.
This Italian restaurant offers a three-pasta combo that is great for sharing and trying different options. However, to be honest, the pastas in the combo were fairly average. The flavors were not very distinctive, and they tended to blend together, making it hard to appreciate each dish individually.On the other hand, the lamb pasta ordered separately was excellent and stood out clearly from the rest. The flavor was rich and well-balanced, and the lamb was cooked very well. It felt much more refined and memorable compared to the combo options, which suggests that ordering individual dishes might be the better choice here.One strong positive aspect of this restaurant is the service. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made the dining experience pleasant throughout the meal.Overall, this
I thought I had just walked into a regular brunch spot — but this place completely blew away most of the brunches I’ve had in Vancouver!First of all, the prices are very reasonable. I ordered the Steak & Eggs: three eggs, a full and absolutely delicious steak (huge thanks to the handsome chef who explained the cut of beef — perfectly juicy and tender, not dry at all, and full of flavor thanks to a long marinade), served with house toast and a beautiful arrangement of fresh fruits.The Smoked Salmon Scramble Croissant was also a pleasant surprise — three eggs again, and the smoked salmon was super fresh and not overly salty like most places. I absolutely loved the pairing of the croissant with salmon and fruit.A special shoutout to the mushroom sauce — it’s something I rarely find, and hones
Absolutely amazing! From the ambience to service to the drinks to the food was exceptional. This restaurant is definitely the best Italian restaurant. We will definitely be back and will highly recommend it to all our acquaintances, colleagues, friends and family. Thank you for an incredible experience!

A special shoutout to the mushroom sauce — it’s something I rarely find, and honestly, I would come back again and again just for that sauce.
The steak, lamb, and risotto are hands down the best I’ve had in Vancouver thus year!
Absolutely amazing! From the ambience to service to the drinks to the food was exceptional.
