Get here early as it's always jam-packed.A Gastown Classic: Catch 122 (122 West Hastings St.)If you don't want to wait for the lineup at Top Notch, you can't go wrong with the entire menu at Catch 122 rolling in at $12 as a damn good way to start your day. From their truffle-scented mushroom omelet, or The Catch 122 consisting of scrambled eggs, house-smoked and cured wild salmon with dill creme fra?che, arugula, croissant, Yukon nugget potato hash or their eggs benedict, it is all out-of-this-world good.Plant Power PackersHealth Conscious on Budget: Lost + Found Café (33 W.

A Top Pizzeria (and the optional beer): Pizzeria Farnia (915 Main Street)For your authentic Italian, stone-oven fired pizza, run over to eat their pies and get transported to Naples.
