I don't know what made two Quebec ladies call their restaurant 'Butterblume' but I am certainly happy they did, because it caught my (German) eye when walking past on the way to Mile End. Although I had just consumed a large ice cream cone in Little Italy, I had to step in. The cheerful waiter assured us it was absolutely fine to stay for just a drink. The homemade lemonade and the iced tea (I think it was made from Sanddorn=seaberry!) were both delightful but I wished I had some space in my belly to try their food. I could see from the menu and from dishes served at other tables that it was right up my street. Creative, healthy, and beautiful takes on classics. I'd prefer if they had some vegan dishes on the menu but I will be at least a vegetarian for a day to try their delicacies when I return. Butterblume is worth a visit, even if it's not on your route. Just want to grab a coffee and a pastry to go? The interior design of the restaurant, the cafe bar, and the little shop area in the front are all so lovely that even a short visit will make you as cheerful as the friendly waiter.
