Postmark Stout Sausage Skillet
The presentation of the dish is beautifully rustic with two perfectly well cooked poached eggs sitting over a sea of crispy potatoes and sausages served in a cast iron skillet. I think food just somehow always tastes better when it’s served in a skillet. 
The sausage has a nice flavor but the stout is a bit lost and the crispy potatoes are good but not good like Plow. Overall it’s a solid dish and you’ll definitely leave full and happy.

Having only briefly visited Vancouver, I am glad I had the chance to stop by Belgard Kitchen. A major plus is that it shares the same space with Postmark Brewery – nothing better than killing two birds with one stone. The location is a bit off the beaten path, in an industrial neighborhood, but definitely well worth the trip. There something that can be said about a place that even before entering, you already know there’s something special. 

By far the most memorable feature of Belgard Kitchen is the building. Surrounded in a neighborhood of by tired looking warehouses, Belgard Kitchen maintains the integrity of the context but uplifts it’s appearance with nice details. The exterior windows have a concertina treatment which adds nice texture to the facade and this concertina detail carries all the way through to the 30′ tall entrance door. Opening and walking through the entrance feels like you’re walking into a cathedral – but instead of worshipping religion it’s beer and brunch. It’s quite a transition from the cold warehouse exterior to the warm timber cladded interior. The interior is a large beautiful space with high ceilings and clerestory windows that bring in a lot of natural light. There is a balanced mixture of warehouse accents like the featured overhead crane, natural elements such as the timber columns/beams which support the crane, and rustic features such as the wrought iron furniture. As I’m writing this review, I’m realizing this is turning into a critique of the space than a review of the food. In the end, the food is tasty, but the atmosphere is what you’ll remember about Belgard Kitchen. 

The Belgard Kitchen is gem in an otherwise worn neighborhood. Given more time, I have feeling that one can spend a whole day in the building moving back and forth from Belgard Kitchen to Postmark Brewing. This place will be a definite must stop the next time I visit Vancouver.
