Wow! Where do I even begin to write about this place? This is really one of the finer places I've been to for brunch/lunch or a meal in general. The place is located a few miles outside of Toronto so traffic/parking is a non issue. Of course a great food place is always packed so we had to wait about an hour before we could be seated since the place is really small with maybe about 30-40 customer capacity. While we waited, we went to a nearby pastry/coffee shop to have coffee and some Portuguese pastries to settle our stomachs for the moment before the real meal comes.
Anyways, after the wait was over, we sat near the window seats since we had four people. If you bring a hot chick, it's probably a lot shorter wait because you can also sit at the counter/bar area. The overall feel and atmosphere was really homely and comfortable mixed with some 70's eclectic music genre. As we stand in the waiting area, we saw thru the kitchen thru a small square window witnessing the chef at work with his utensils and ingredients with the utmost care and effort. Behind the counter/bar, there were a series of cabinets filled with ingredients in Ikea jars and drink bottles of various kinds. In addition, there was no paper menu as the 15 or so menu items are written on a black chalk board.
Of course the food was to die for as we ordered a number of dishes including the Ploughman's which is a mixed dished of various Italian meats which I think should serve as an appetizers rather than a meal in itself. Next I ordered the Sucking Pig Benny which is tender pulled pork on eggs benedict which was just simply awesome. It was topped with creamy cheese and smooth egg yolk just spilling out with flavour. It was complimented perfectly with arugula green leaves to dull the salty taste. The Add A Bone is where it's really different with a half piece of juicy soft bone marrow eaten with bread.
My friends ordered the Brioche French Toast which was also very good as the toast was crunchy with a good amount of sweet Canadian maple syrup with a touch of cinnamon dripping onto to the plate topped with crunchy sliced apple stems. The dish also came with a creamy white sauce in case you want a little variety in your every bite.
The Tongue Grilled Cheese was also extremely tasty as the meat was cooked right with good texture and thick crunchy bread that makes every bite a mouthful. You can chow that down with either a cup of their freshly brewed coffee or freshly squeezed orange juice where you can truly tastes the difference.
Overall, the experience was truly worth the wait and the waitress was extremely friendly and attentive and prompt. On top of that, the number of "easy on the eyes" chicks that frequent this place while we were there was high so definitely worth visiting just for that. Remember it's cash only so don't forget to bring some change!
