| - On a beautiful early November morning, I dropped the Missus off at work and decided to hit up The Junction, a neighbourhood I had only discovered this summer, but have yet to explore.
I was hungry for some diner breakfast and kept my eyes peeled for a good spot and fortunately the traffic stopped me directly in front of the Purple Onion, "Famous for our steaks and breakfast" the sign out front says.
So I pulled over, parked out front and went in.
The place immediately had a comfortable vibe, with a number of booths, nice dark brown colours, tiny little bar (3-4 stools) and plenty of floor seating. The crowd (of 2 tables) was an older couple at a booth reading their papers, and another couple playing Scrabble but the window. Perfect already.
The menu was your classic diner menu, breakfast on one page, entrees on the other.
I grabbed a traditional brekkie of scrambled eggs, home fries, rye toast and sausage. It came out quickly and hot. Everything tasted great (except the coffee) and for less than $9 I was happy.
Great service too.
