| - Morning Glory or not to Morning Glory? That was the question. I was going to Buskerfest and wanted to find a brunch place in the St. Lawrence/Corktown/Financial District. I narrowed it down to Morning Glory (thanks Kat F!) and Le Petit Dejuner. It was only 10:45, but when I passed LPD, there was already a line-up. Morning Glory, it was!
I ordered a latte (delish!), the omelette of the day (homemade salsa and cheddar) and a 1/2 order of french toast, as is my normal M.O. The salsa was amazing -- fresh and so delicious -- which made the omelette outstanding. The french toast was good, but was cold by the time I got to it (see below).
They were full inside without a wait, but had seating on the lovely, and tiny, back patio. Unfortunately, their beautiful flowers, and delicious food, attracted the swarms of bees inhabiting T.O. this summer. Not to be thwarted, I perservered. For about ten minutes, until two bees landed in my french toast, at which point I went inside. My server was really sweet about it and let me know when there was a table available inside, so I was able to finish my eggs and eat my french toast.
The staff was super friendly, the menu was selective but seemed to have a variety, and was very good. I would like to go back for lunch and try a sandwich, as they looked fab, too.
They have a little blog on their website that updates the specials each day, although it hasn't been updated since May 2009. Still, it's a great idea. I definitely recommend Morning Glory.
