| - Canteen is in a great location and perhaps due being an O&B product, people may be pegging their expectations a bit too high. Keep in mind that "canteen" implies a cafeteria/snack bar (albeit a rather nice one), and you won't be disappointed.
Canteen Butty
A "butty" is O&B's fancy word for... sandwich. The Canteen Butty is my favourite so far, and for $5, a pretty good value. I would also hold their house ketchup (I don't love) and let the still-runny yolk from the fried egg do its job. Fresh and tasty, this is a great breakfast-on-the-run. Just watch that yolk! Think of it as what a McMuffin or one of those Starbuck's breakfast sandwiches should be.
The Bacon Butty
Chock full of bacon, but mine was just regular bacon. Unless I'm not understanding what Canadian back bacon is actually supposed to be. Still, tasty, especially if you love your cured pork. Four bucks!
Home Fries
Pass. Not very fried and spiced with paprika(?), which isn't to my taste.
Marinated Cherry Tomatoes
This was a nice, refreshing, side. Nothing crazy here, but good stuff.
Almond Croissant
Might be worth a repeat, as the taste was good, but missing was the crispy and flaky crunch from my ideal croissant.
While this won't be a dining destination, overall, I think it's a great place to grab a quick bite to eat if you're in the area, especially considering the alternatives.
