Regine café is basically the reason why I wake up every morning. Seriously though. Every time I try another brunch spot, no matter how amazing it is, I always regret not going to Regine so I've accepted the fact that I have attachment issues and nothing can come between me and this café.
Usually on weekends you'll end up waiting in line for 30 minutes. But it's worth the wait. I would camp outside for days if necessary.
The first thing they give you right after you're seated is a shot of their juice of the day. They're all amazing, delicious, and addicting
Regardless of what you order, ALWAYS GET A SCOTCH EGG ON THE SIDE. IT IS THE DEFINITION OF HEAVEN. They are so good I literally want an entire bag to take home with me. So anytime you grab anything off of the menu, just ask for a scotch egg on the side, you definitely won't regret it.
The top two meals that I always get is the Champi and the Sucré Salé.
The Champi: you get a big slice of rustic bread and on top you have the melted 1608 cheese... Then you have the mushrooms. The mushrooms are so delicious. They're perfectly sauteed. And then you have two poached eggs. You have the choice to replace them with the scotch egg. I usually get the scotch egg on the side. The entire meal comes the amazing mashed potatoes that have so much flavour. It's my favourite dish. I like to also add some pulled ham on the side as well to complete it.
Sucré Salé: if you're up for dessert after then get this dish but you should probably consider splitting it with someone since it's considered a meal! It can also be paired with the scotch egg if you'd like but basically it's the perfect mix with sweet and savoury. You have the French toast that's ooooozing with syrup and on top you have the pulled ham, sunny side up egg and huge chunks of CREAM FUDGE.
Honestly... Get both. Worst case you feel extremely full and maybe end up at the emergency room.. But at least you got a taste of heaven so there is nothing to regret.
