| - Got to finally try out The Daily in Kensington. The restaurant is located right below Higher Ground Coffee Shop. Nicely decorated. See my photos for "When Pigs Fly". The restaurant was not very busy at 8 a.m. on Sunday. We were asked to pick a table so we picked a table by the Flying Pigs!
We had their coffee (which is coffee from Higher Ground) which was really good!
We ordered their breakfast dishes:
- PAIN PERDU Thick slices of brioche, french-toasted and bruléed, fruit compote, fresh fruit, whipped cream, thick cut smoked bacon - really fresh French toast with blackberry compote and blackberries. I had a piece of the French toast and the crispy bacon. Tasty.
- SAVOURY PANCREPE Scallion pancake, duck confit, whipped goat cheese, greens, soft poached egg - My sister ordered and split half of her crepe with me. I would eat this again!! Most delicious! Just wished there were 2 poached eggs instead of just one egg! Anything with goat cheese is so good.
- EGGS BENEDICT 2 poached eggs, hollandaise with Albertan style beer-braised beef - I split this dish with my sister. The eggs and hollandaise was pretty good. The beef is ok. I would think the braised beef would be a little softer. Instead, it was pulled beef in stiff strips.
- CORNED BEEF HASH House-corned beef brisket, smash fried baby potatoes, roasted tomato, grilled red onion, 2 soft basted eggs, smoked cauliflower - Had a taste of the corned beef and it was quite tasty.
The 3 savoury dishes all came with smash-fried potatoes, delicately seasoned and taste really good with their home-made ketchup. Yummers!
We'd all come back again! Wait staff was attentive and food was delivered quickly to the table. There are 2 washrooms for male and female on the lower level. A little tight in the washroom space but well thought-out in making efficient use of space. There is a bigger washroom on the main level for handicap use. See my 5 photos for more info.
