| - I read about Peter Pan Bistro on Yelp, so decided to come for a Saturday morning brunch with my boyfriend. We arrived and heard there was a 30 minute wait, but asked to be seated at the counter as there was space there, so managed to bypass the wait! It wasn't the most comfortable place to sit, but we were hungry and didn't have tons of time so it was a good compromise.
We started with lattes, which were average. My boyfriend ordered the fried chicken sandwich, which he enjoyed. The fries were also good. I ordered the vegetarian eggs benedict, and maybe this is partly my fault for not asking, but I was really disappointed with it. When I picture vegetarian eggs benny, I think of spinach, mushrooms, or various beautiful sautéed vegetables taking the place of the meat. Even avocado would be fine. However, this was served with a slice of tomato instead of the ham/salmon. I love tomatoes, but they have no place in eggs benedict. It is completely the wrong flavour, and also I really object to paying the same as someone who had ordered this dish with ham or salmon. They either need to re-price the vegetarian version, or just make it with something that would be exciting and delicious, and actually fits with the dish. I should have asked what the vegetarian substitute for the meat was, but because I guess I'm used to more innovative substitutes I didn't even think to. I would have been much happier with the omelette or shakshuka, both of which sounded great. Also, the hollandaise was quite watery, and I much prefer a richer sauce. The potato was fine.
This is such a bummer as the place itself is so cute, and right on Queen W. Also the service was so nice! Overall, sadly a bit of a disappointing, overpriced brunch.
