Café Medina is arguably the most iconic brunch spot in downtown that's not fine dining, yet still refined. It is open for breakfast, brunch and lunch and there is always a line up. The menu is modern and the execution and ambiance sophisticated. The Harissa “Burger,” with two fried eggs, preserved lemon and Harissa spiced beef in a grilled pita with Parmesan, tomato salsa, spiced hummus, baba ganoush and seasonal greens is delicious and unique to the restaurant. The fricassee and smoked salmon are also excellent and will forever remain on the menu. People love the Liège waffles here, but they're not made in house and actually are from Damien's Belgian Waffles in Richmond, BC (a 20-minute drive from downtown).
