| - Brunch at Brockton General was very good....but not great. Perhaps I'm spoiled by the likes of Saving Grace and School and Rose & Sons; but I now have VERY high standards for brunch in Toronto. There are just so many amazing brunchy offerings out there!
Anyhow, we both opted for the $20 prix fixe at Brockton, which includes a beverage of choice, a starter or dessert, and a main course.
We both opted for caesars (very well made) and among the choices of starters/desserts we both chose mushroom soup (which was quite a nice dairy-free puree of mushroom).
The Pot O' Gold (baked beans, mushrooms, aged cheddar, baked egg, all baked together and served with toast) was good but didn't blow me away.
The Vegetable Hash (a hash mostly consisting of crispy potatoes and corn, served with a fried egg and toast) was also good but didn't blow him away. The crispy taters were definitely the best part of the dish.
I might come back to Brockton for supper (the dinner menu, posted on the wall, looked awesome) but I wouldn't run back for brunch. However, they get bonus points for friendly service, very good prix-fixe value and a lack of brunch lineups,
