Tucked right in the heart of downtown Kamloops, The Chook Eatery is basically a brunch lover’s dream come true. If you're craving a laid-back vibe paired with top-notch bites, this spot has you covered—thanks to the culinary wizards behind Peters Pasta, who know a thing or two about making food extra special. From the classic, crowd-pleasing eggs benedict to their wildly popular BLP (that’s bacon, lettuce, and pineapple—yes, it’s as amazing as it sounds) to a hot, melt-in-your-mouth corned beef masterpiece, there’s something to satisfy every taste bud. Get ready, because your mouth is about to throw a little celebration of its own!

Tucked away in the Acadian Motel, Kirsten’s Hideout Cafe is the kind of cozy, homestyle spot that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled upon a secret breakfast paradise in Kamloops, BC. It’s the perfect little hole-in-the-wall where comfort food reigns supreme, and portions are big enough to satisfy even the hungriest brunch enthusiast. The menu is a glorious tribute to diner classics with a twist that would make Guy Fieri nod in approval. Think Ham and Pineapple Hawaiian Omelettes that take your taste buds on a tropical vacation, or Belgian waffles piled high with seasonal berry jam that are basically a dessert masquerading as breakfast. And just when you think it couldn’t get any better, Kirsten’s Hideout also serves up house-baked muffins and cakes that change based on the whims of the regulars—so no two visits are ever quite the same. It’s the kind of place where every bite feels like a treat, and you might just leave with a smile as sweet as their homemade goodies!

Step into The Columbia Diner, and you’ll be hit with that nostalgic, old-school diner vibe that feels like a big warm hug from Mom’s kitchen. This charming spot takes you back in time, serving up hearty classics that will have you reminiscing about the good ol’ days—when dessert was always a must, and the pancakes never stopped coming. But hold on to your forks, because they’ve taken breakfast to new heights with their signature "Stacks on Stacks"—fluffy buttermilk pancakes piled high and smothered in whipped cream, then drenched in a luscious medley of strawberry, blackberry, blueberry, and raspberry sauces. It’s a berry lover’s dream come true! And as if that wasn’t enough, the 90’s anthems playing in the background will have you vibing like you’re at a retro brunch party.
