| - The boyfriend and I met some friends at Wendigo for brunch on Easter. Let me note right away, Wendigo makes a nice, ambitious morning bike ride for Madison Eastsiders and then one can drink their 11am beer without guilt! Plus your bikes will lock nicely on the side of Wendigo's front stoop.
We're big fans of Famous Yeti's Pizza so we were curious to check out the newest mythical-beast namesake from that family.
Everything we ordered was tasty and the concise brunch menu offers something for everyone. I'm always on the lookout for something novel in the sweet side of breakfast so I was very pleased with the Creme Brûlée French toast, topped with a vanilla glaze and crispy bacon. The texture was ideal, not soggy but crispy on the edges and indulgent all the way through.
My dining companions tried the fried salami sandwich with fried egg, pickled red onion, and banana pepper, the spring onion and mushroom omelette, and some beautiful banana pancakes, which looked more like oversized crepes. Breakfast cocktail lovers won't be disappointed either. The downtown Stoughton location is sweet and the place itself is warm and gorgeous with a beautiful wood bar, built in stage, wood floors, complimented with welcoming wood tables and a piano. The whole look was topped off with some endearing, simple animal portrait paintings. Both servers who helped us were warm, welcoming, and attentive. In fact our only complaint is that the breakfast potatoes were borderline underdone. I'd be very excited to go back for a meal or just for drinks.
