| - Having read good reviews about Chef George Breakfast and Lunch, I was finally able to visit for a late breakfast since I had this past Friday off from work. Their short hours and week (Tu-Sa 7.30-3pm) have prevented me from going before. It is located in a small strip plaza in a residential part of western Scarborough, and I guess serves mostly the Filipino community. It was a little dim inside, with some blinds drawn and all dark wood furniture, and can probably seat about 40 people. It wasn't too busy, although there were people coming and going regularly, and the service was pretty fast.
I had the Beef Tapa breakfast, which is eggs with thinly-sliced beef and garlic rice, with a fruit skewer on the side. The beef was very good, similar to a stir-fry but with nothing mixed-in, and the garlic rice was tasty but not too strong. The fruit was very fresh, and the coffee was very hot and a bit strong. Altogether it was an excellent meal with fairly good-sized portions, and my bill was only $12. They also have eggs and rice with either longanisa (small pork sausages) or chicken stew, a seafood soup that I saw a few people order, as well as traditional breakfasts including a breakfast sizzler plate. Lunch items include pork chops, boneless chicken, pot roast and a few noodle dishes.
Overall, a great place to go for some different breakfast choices, and I am sure to return eventually (although the hours are a bit of a problem). Also note they accept debit and cash only, no credit cards. Definitely a strong recommendation.
