| - The epitome of airport price gouging, Caplansky's offers a limited, but interesting menu. I had the smoked meat hash for $14. Four small pieces of toast, two cubes of cantaloupe, four slices of mandarin oranges, two eggs and a salty mishmash of smoked meat and potatoes later, I'm left thirsty and unsatisfied, but not surprised.
To start off with the good, the eggs (over easy) were cooked perfectly. The toast was also nicely toasted and buttered. The smoked meat hash was very salty, which really took away from its taste - salt isn't supposed to be a flavour! The quantity was adequate.
The non-alcoholic drinks are very pricey. $5 for water and $4 for soft drinks is what you can expect there. Do yourself a favour and go to the Starbucks to the right of the restaurant if you want to spend that much money on a drink.
The service was unmemorable. I asked for hot sauce once I got my food and I was given an unopened bottle of Tabasco. The cashier just stood and watched me while I had to tear the plastic wrap off the bottle's lid.
I much prefer the Molson Pub in Terminal 1, which offers a similar breakfast dish with a lot less salt, crispy potatoes on the side and jam for the toast. The price is also a few dollars cheaper. Unfortunately, there's no way to eat at a different terminal!
