We have been there on numerous occassions since it's close to home.
It was busy for brunch at noon and it's always feels good that the local family business is making it. The owner Melanie was present as always to over see the quality & service. Her husband is the chef.
Our order:
Newfoundland Eggs Bene,
**two perfectly cooked poached eggs sitting a top Cod Fish Cakes in lieu of english muffins with very lemony hollaindaise. fresh berries and fried potatoes. the fish cakes don't have enough fish taste on them (some people may like that) . I would recommend this dish to anyone. Very satisfying.
Bistro Burger with soup of the day (Potato Leek)
**the burger was too salty and the garlic was overwhelming but the soup was piping hot and would have a big bowl anytime.
One thing about Melanie's that is a bit depressing is the decor. It's not hip or modern it's upscale cafeteria. Although it was busy the ambiance was lacking. That's not going to keep us away but it's worth noting.
The service is excellent!!!
Total: $35.03 PLUS TIP...
**on a side note brunch cost my husband actually $600 since I had to visit the brand new Jeweller next door!! Jewellery For You...Lucio the owner opened in November and has some really unique pieces..
