A Mexican inspired kitchen on Union Street that takes brunch and dinner equally seriously, so it fits whichever end of the day you pick.
Union Street, Chinatown
More infoLoreto Brunch and Dinner opened this month at 219 Union St, and the name is the menu strategy. Most places pick a shift. This one runs Mexican inspired cooking from morning plates through to evening ones, on the Chinatown and Strathcona edge that has quietly turned into one of the better eating strips in Vancouver. The opening day was never announced, which tracks: the whole operation lives on Instagram at @loretobrunch, where the posting is doing the talking.
The move is the late brunch, roughly 12:30, when the morning rush has cleared and the kitchen is still doing brunch. Check @loretobrunch before you go, since it opened this month and hours on a new room move around. Union Street is a short walk from the rest of Chinatown, so build the walk in either direction. First timers treat it as a brunch spot only and miss that dinner is the other half of the name.
