Smith caught my eye a little while back, cute house on Church with a newspaper box out front with it's menus printed on newsprint.
We went for brunch and it was really enjoyable.
I love that they have set items on their menu that they make slightly different each day or maybe week? Makes me want to go back to see what they have next time. :)
For example, their scones that day were cinnamon cranberry scones with candied pecans and a pear and amaretto jam. The pecans were by far my favourite part because they were still crunchy and flavourful which suggested they toasted them before mixing them into the scones batter. Gotta love that attention to detail.
I had the Smith Benedict which was peameal bacon, poached eggs and a leek fondue. It was good but not at the level of the scones or the potatoes...
And while the Benny may change I hope they never change their potatoes because they were amazing. I'm pretty sure they boil them first and then deep fry or roast them at a high temperature because they were light and fluffy on the inside and very crispy and caramelized on the outside with a hint of thyme. Delicious!
We sat upstairs which was really cute but I was right beside a staircase up to another level which meant I did have to move a few times to let people through.
There were two large tables beside us and it looked like a great setup for a large group for brunch.
All in all a great experience and one of the nicer brunches I've had in the city.
