Attempted to spice up a sad rainy weekend with a famous Leslieville brunch. We decided to try an old friend, Joy Bistro. I had not visited the bar since it's reno. The place looks great, the food....esh, disappointing.
It was a hectic day, but we were seated right away. Had some trouble with the creamers, yet fresh coffee was provided quickly. Great service from all of the wait staff, as always; however, the food, was another story.
I had a simple breakfast. Simple in the sense that you couldn't mess it up - eggs and sausage. The home fries were burnt....and the sausages were dry and tasteless. Big thumbs down. Even more because my coffee cup spent much of the visit to Joy's empty.
My friend had the Eggs Teddy. It was soooo bland.
I'm disappointed that this old favourite is now definitely off the list. The restaurant has such a gorgeous patio in the summer. And 2.50 drinks from 5-7. All and all, with the plethora of choices along Queen, Joy will no longer bring joy to my stomach.
Cheers to the service.
Boo to the food.
Breaking up is hard to do.
No gluten free options. Sausages were safe. Rowe Farms.
