| - Barbie's is a friendly place.
I was there on Sunday morning waiting to meet my friends for brunch. I was early and the staff sat me immediately and plied me with coffee until everyone arrived 40 minutes later. Once there, I ordered the Onion Soup Gratinee, Fresh Fruit Crepe, and side of Poutine.
The soup was very good with rich beef broth flavor, crusty bread and stringy melted Gruyere dripping over the sides of the crock. The Crepe was large and light, with a good quantity of cut up fresh melon, cantelope, blueberry, strawberry, and banana. It came with an English Sweet Cream on the side for pouring or dipping. It was quite good. The sole downer was the Poutine, which was laden with Brown Gravy and Cheese, but too salty for my taste. I could not eat much of it.
I think this is more of a local's resto with decent, but not better, food, and a place where everybody knows your name.
