Breakfast at White Spot | Weekend in Squamish

 It's our dad's 60th birthday, and to celebrate, we're spending the weekend at Squamish, BC.

Happy Sunday! We're heading back home to Vancouver, but before that, we decided to have breakfast at White Spot. I didn't even know White Spot offers breakfast, but I am happy to enjoy the good food.

Nat's Hearty Breakfast
Two eggs (sunny side up), bacon, sausage, and multi-grain toast. Endless smash brown potatoes.

Coffee

Classic Benedict
English muffin topped with thick-cut back bacon, two poached eggs, & hollandaise. Endless smash brown potatoes

I am not a fan of bacon, but the thick-cut back bacon with the Classic Benedict was unexpectedly excellent. Now, I wish there was a White Spot nearby to enjoy it again.

Dinner at The WaterShed Grill | Weekend in Squamish

It's our dad's 60th birthday, and to celebrate, we're spending the weekend at Squamish, BC.

After a quick side trip to Whistler and spending a couple hours at Alice Lake, we had dinner at The WaterShed Grill.

To start, I had the Gin Fizz while hubby ordered the Blueberry Lemonade. It was scorching hot in our patio seat by the river, and the ice on our drinks melted immediately.

Left: Blueberry Lemonade (Blueberry vodka, blue curacao, and lemonade)
Right: Gin Fizz (Gin, cucumber, strawberry puree, fresh lemon, & soda)

For our appetizer, we tried their Crab Cakes. It was delicious and steaming hot. We're off to a good start here.

Crab Cakes
Wild rock crab, house-seasoned and pan-fried golden brown, basil aioli, lemon and mixed greens

I chose the salmon burger for our main meal while hubby had the river burger. It was a good salmon burger, but the river burger is definitely the better burger. You can never go wrong with perfectly cooked beef patty and bacon.

Salmon Burger with Poutine
Wild sockeye salmon fillet, pickled red onion, lettuce, tomato and wasabi mayo

River Burger with Onion Rings
6 oz house-made local free-range beef, bacon, cheddar, house mayo, and peppercorn sauce

To end the meal, we enjoyed a dozen mini donuts, which have a more pronounced cinnamon flavour. We ate it while watching the Whitecaps FC game on my 6-inch phone.

The best part of dining at The WaterShed Grill is the view.

Breakfast at Crabapple Cafe | Weekend in Squamish

It's our dad's 60th birthday, and to celebrate, we're spending the weekend at Squamish, BC.

Happy Saturday morning! From our AirBnB in Squamish, we drove to Whistler for a quick side trip, but before the 45-minute drive, we grabbed breakfast from The Crabapple Café.

I had my usual eggs benedict while hubby ordered their chorizo sausage hash.

Chorizo Sausage Hash
Chorizo sausage, sauteed peppers and onions on a bed of hash browns. Served with two poached eggs, cheddar cheese, smashed avocado, and roasted red pepper and tomato relish.

I enjoyed both food items. The Chorizo Sausage Hash is a bit spicy, but I love the peppers and onions. The dimension in flavour is unexpected from an unassuming cafe.

Smoked Salmon & Crispy Capers Eggs Benedict
Cold smoked sockeye and steelhead salmon with crispy fried capers on a toasted English muffin under two poached eggs and hollandaise. Served with hash browns

Lunch at Sky Pilot Eatery BBQ | Weekend in Squamish

It's our dad's 60th birthday, and to celebrate, we're spending the weekend at Squamish, BC.

After breakfast, we drove to Shannon Falls and enjoyed the view before the bus of tourists arrived. Then, we went to the Sea to Sky Gondola, which offered a fantastic view of Howe Sound.

At the top, we ate lunch on the Octagon Deck and ordered from their barbecue menu. We enjoyed the hummus served with flatbread and crackers and smokies.

After spending 3-4 hours on top, we drove to Downtown Squamish for groceries. For dinner, my dad cooked Filipino-style grilled pork. It was nostalgic.
