| - I have never really understood the hype over Cora's in general. The food is not bad, but I feel like it is overpriced, especially considering you can get similar (if not even better) breakfast food at cheaper prices. Had to line up in the cold for a while this morning, although the wait might have been due in part to the large number of CN Tower Climb/Scotiabank Marathon participants in the downtown area today.
I ordered a smoked salmon Eggs Ben et Dictine (eggs benedict) with just one egg, which was about $11+ dollars. My dish also came with a large amount of fruit (part of a banana, one strawberry, a slice of honeydew, a piece of orange, and some apple slices.) I would recommend getting two eggs since it's only about $2 more. I like that you have can customize the way your egg is cooked: either soft, medium or hard. However, while the dish was okay overall, I thought the smoked salmon was especially bland and not salty enough. My friend who ordered the salmon and lox bagel also agreed.
Unfortunately there are not many other breakfast/brunch places in the immediate vicinity, but if you are willing to venture a little bit further north (around Queen Street) you can find much better options. Cora's will always do fine, but to me it just seems overpriced and over commercialized.
