| - A historic house turned restaurant in Inglewood, this place is perfect picturesque location for brunch, lunch or dinner (and many weddings!)
So it's no question that they are highly sought after for brunch, and I really appreciate that the Deane House takes reservations.
We trekked through a snowy morning and nestled in with some teas and London Fogs while we studied the menu. I honestly had a hard time choosing! The breakfast items that caught my eye: saskatoon berry sourdough pancakes (with lemon balm, maple syrup and chantilly cream), the smoked arctic char eggs benny and the croque madame. Ultimately, the asian twist on the duck confit perogies won me over (braised red cabbage, fermented squash and beet dashi).
Although very delish, the sour beet and cabbage offset the richness of the duck well, I felt the portion was quite small (five perogies is more of an appetizer than a meal). I foraged a bit of pancakes and hashbrowns from my dining mates to fill up.
Overall, a great experience with the quality of food, service and view. I'd definitely return and try something heartier.
