my brunch experience at Cowbell
Service: We were seated and attended to immediately upon arriving. Our server was polite and attentive to our needs.
Atmosphere: The dining area of the restaurant channeled a french turn of the century bistro with lovely decorative finishes.
Value: good value for moderate brunch prices. brunch dishes ranging from $12-15 a plate. fun brunch drink menu for $6. however, a glass of fresh squeezed OJ goes for $6-which I found to be above market price.
Menu: The chalkboard menu was diverse and appeared to have some interesting combinations of dishes. Comfort food at its best.
I selected the eggs benedict that was prepared beautifully with crispy duck eggs, hollandaise sauce, pulled pork on a home style biscuit with a side of collard greens. The rich buttery fullness of the hollandaise sauce paired sweetly with the pulled pork bbq sauce.
the benny was delicious. the crispness of the duck egg played well with the soft texture of the homemade biscuit. it is the kind of food that you savor and then want to go home and take a lazy sunday afternoon nap after consuming.
Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. Another gastronomic gem in parkdale.
