| - With so many restaurants in the city offering up a brunch menu these days, the choices can be overwhelming, and more often than not you just end up sticking to what you know in fear of trying something new only to find it to be sub-par. So when I recently ventured to L'Ouvrier for a Sunday brunch, I was overjoyed to have found a place where this was definitely not the case, and was already excited about returning to my new found brunch spot.
Although the restaurant itself is quite small and really nothing extravagent to look at - it has basic white walls, tables and chairs - it is the menu and the friendly service which really make the place!
The brunch menu offers a classic style breakfast (which includes 2 eggs, bacon, buttered toast, fries, and a grilled tomato) of substantive size, but also offers a b.l.t, burger, salad, french toast, yoghurt, and even some more elaborate options including a tuna tartare and an oyster dish.
I tried the classic style breakfast and found it to be both delicious and filling. Trust me, you will not leave hungry! But my absolute favourite part of the meal was the French Press Coffee. The coffee is brought directly to the table in the press, and you can fill your cup as needed so that the coffee stays warm. Now if only other brunch spots in the city would adopt this same idea, as coffee in a French Press is sooo much better than the bottomless cups of drip coffee offered at the majority of brunch spots in the city. Good quality coffee is truly hard to find, but at L'Ouvrier they have truly done something right, and at the price of $3 per person it's really hard to pass up!
Keep up the good work L'Ouvrier - I will definitely be seeing you soon!
