| - Woke up this morning around 10:30 and decided to go grab breakfast. Where to go around Queen and Denison? We decided to go to Shanghai Cowgirl, as they have an all-day breakfast menu.
Well, it turns out SC doesn't open until 11:30 a.m. Not super helpful. Now as we wandered back, defeated, I saw Arepa and said, "I've always wanted to try this place, let's go look."
Inside, the place was empty, but we were greeted warmly by a man who asked if we wanted breakfast. He handed us a menu and told us to sit anywhere. Within seconds, a female server arrived with two glasses of water and a hug pitcher for the table.
We ordered coffees (cappuccino for me, Americano for him) and each had an arepa - although neither from the breakfast section after all. Mine was shredded beef in a sweet bbq sauce, with plantains and beans - delicious! The sauces come on the side, so if you don't like sauce, it's perfect. My dining companion had the steak with avocado and cheese - also good, but mine was better.
Service was always pleasant. It's a wee bit expensive but it was filling enough that I didn't feel ripped off. I'll be back!
