| - Walked in Saturday around noon and the place was full! Luckily there was a two-seat table available for me. For most, the wait was about 15min. The diner-style breakfast and lunch location had a relatively younger crowd of patrons. Seating is casual and seats may feel a bit cramped for those used to diners with booths.
The menu has a large variety of breakfast foods, from the basic sausage and eggs to skillets with a variety of ingredients. Coffee is offered shortly after you're seated, and menus are bilingual. I ordered the Reine (Queen) skillet which had home fries, sausage, mushrooms, peppers, and shallots, topped with scrambled egg and a choice of hollandaise sauce or Swiss cheese (or both!). A side of bread was also available-and I chose the baguette. The skillet came piping hot and lived up to expectations, and the baguette was soft and already buttered. Don't be tricked by the size of the skillet-it's a filling meal!
The price per person came out to about $15 tax included, which I felt was good qualité/prix. Would definitely recommend for a small group of friends looking for brunch, be sure to come early as they close at 2:30pm every day!
My second visit I ordered the Two of Spades skillet - salmon, mushrooms, spinach, onions, capers, egg whites, feta. There's no bed of home fries so it is a smaller skillet overall, and the flavours are different from say a traditional "breakfast food" taste. The salmon and veggies were well seasoned (on the salty side) and tasty all on their own - something I would've had with a side of rice. The egg white and feta didn't really glue with the salmon and veggies, and the capers rolled around separately. It was an interesting take on skillets, but for the price and volume of food I won't be ordering this one again.
