| - Came here on a Friday for brunch. I arrived close to 1 to find a small line outside. Luckily most tables were finishing up so my friend and I were able to get seated within 10 minutes. The place is a kinda small and since it was extremely hot that day, it was extremely stuffy inside the restaurant. So, we opted to sit on the side patio instead.
We ordered the Baked French Toast - with fresh fruit & maple syrup ($8.50). It consisted of two thick slices of cinnamon bread topped with powdered sugar. It was pretty dense in the middle and had a consistency of bread pudding. Unfortunately, I'm not a huge fan of bread pudding, so I didn't enjoy the french toast too much (the middle anyways). Despite this, I actually really enjoyed the outsides of the french toast (the parts which weren't heavy/creamy).
We also ordered the Smoked Salmon and Scrambled Eggs - with chives, rosti potato, creamed horseradish and caviar ($10). The eggs were cooked perfectly (I can't stand overcooked rubbery scrambled eggs!) and the combination of the horseradish and fish roe was nice. The rosti potato didn't have a whole lot of flavour on its own, but tasted pretty good with the eggs.
Although we were both stuffed, we couldn't resist ordering a dessert after seeing the dessert tray the server brought around to show the customers. Since the server recommended the raspberry tart ($5), we went with that. The tart was filled with custard and raspberry. Overall, a decent tart.
Overall everything was good but I don't know if anything was good enough to warrant another visit (for brunch, anyways), since I don't live in the area!
