| - For breakfast yesterday morning, I went downtown to Eggspectation at Trinity Square. It's a little fancier (maybe a little more trendy?) than the diners where I often go for breakfast, but was nice for something different. There is some patio seating that I guess is closed for the season, a little bar near the front, and is quite large inside with probably 25 tables and a dozen booths. The white wooden chairs reminded me of old country kitchen furniture; there is a set of wooden shelves along one wall, and lots of lighting in the high ceiling. The service was pretty fast and friendly enough.
The menu is similar to other breakfast places, except that many dishes are a little fancier than usual. For instance, I had the French Toast Flambé, which is brioche French toast with lots of strawberries bananas and walnuts that are sautéed in orange brandy liqueur and maple syrup. It was very good. Other interesting dishes were the lobster benedict, a breakfast poutine, and a southwestern omelette topped with salsa and sour cream. They also serve an assortment of sandwiches salads and crepes, plus a daily special for lunch.
My bill came to $20 with coffee, so not bad for the unique experience. Although not somewhere that I would go on a regular basis, I am sure to be back occasionally for something a little above the norm.
