| - Started my 2014 at this "fan-tabulous" eatery. I googled "New Year's Day Brunch," and up pops this wonderful, charming, place. The photos alone, on the internet, were enough to entice me to make a trip down on this chilly -18 Wednesday.
Let's start with the food. Original, fresh, and tasty!
We ordered the following:
Mother & Child's Reunion: divine fried duck eggs & foie gras.
Eggs Benny: can't go wrong with this; and their recipe is like no other eggs benny out there in Toronto. Thick fat piece of bacon over some sort of bread-style english muffins, topped with an amazing hollandaise sauce.
On the side, I also ordered their Sugar Stack Pancakes. Come on, who can resist pancakes for brunch? It was the freshest and most tastiest pancake I have ever tasted in Toronto. (maybe a slight exaggeration, lolz). The sweetness wasn't over the top, fresh blueberries, and creme, makes this dish a winner. Tasted like they made everything from scratch. (I'm sure it is).
The only complaint I have about this place is not about the food, but the atmosphere. We sat near the door and it was a bit drafty all throughout our meal. We immediately forgot about the cold draft with free coffee refills and our delicious warm hearty meals. But still, I think I would save this place for Spring or Summer time, because I have a phobia of the cold.
Other than that, great food and friendly staff!
