I have been on the hunt for the best brunch in Toronto. After relentless searching I decided to go with Le Petit Dejeuner which has been very well reviewed. When we got there we had to stand outside(might I add it was raining) in a lineup waiting for it to move slowly. After about 10 minutes I had a good view of inside where I saw a table that was empty but had yet to be cleared...10 minutes later the same table was still empty but not clean. I being a server find this particularly annoying to be stuck outside waiting when there is a (dirty) table inside screaming my name...
Alas we finally made it inside. We had already mentally prepared ourselves for sh*tty service. On to the food... I ordered the Eggs Benjamin which was ok. not bad but nothing to write home about. My co-part ordered a Belgian waffle which came out cold with butter and a minimal portion of syrup.
The worst part.... while i was doing my research one of the things that I noticed was that while looking at the menu for Le Petit Dejeuner is that brunch is served until 6pm...So when at 3pm I am witnessing the "bartender" rudely signalling to prospective customers that they are now closed I was a little more than shocked. When our server came over I asked by they were turning people away when their website states that they are open and serving brunch till 6pm. She had no answer other than they were closed and she hasn't seen the website...
I will never go to this restaurant again.
