After winning Sochi Olympic Men's Hockey Gold it was time to celebrate with brunch in the neighbourhood of Lake Bonavista. It was the opening weekend for this venue and many tables were vacant. Perhaps our Olympic compadres were resting in their nice warm beds post win?
My prediction is that you will find it difficult to reserve a table for brunch once word gets out. The Lake House is awesome both in food and view.
The brunch menu includes benedict, brisket, brioche, boar, bison, and blood oranges. How does one choose between Steak & Eggs (grilled beef medallions and mascarpone scrambled eggs) and Pulled Wild Boar Mac & Cheese, and Chocolate Cream Cheese Filled Brioche French Toast?
Tip: One does not choose but stays and eats for many hours.
With the exception of the roast potatoes, which we found unexceptional, every main was composed of high quality protein and harmonious flavours.
Between courses we sank into our comfy chairs and gazed into the flame as we cozied up to the fireplace. It was a chilly weekend so the view of the lake was winter white with two brave ice skaters and a couple of ice fishing shelters for entertainment.
If you are a resident of Lake Bonavista - lucky you.
