| - SO YUMMY. Came here for brunch on Saturday and loved the neighborhood, vibe and the food. The wait wasn't too bad, since we got here around 2:15pm (can't imagine what the line is like at normal brunch times).
I ordered the "le fume" which was the smoked salmon benedict. It came with several thick slices of smoked salmon and poached eggs on top of cream cheese and 2 halves of a mini Montreal-style sesame bagels, with crispy capers sprinkled on top. It also came with a small side of fruit (mine had pineapple, cantaloupe, orange slices and green grapes) as well as hashbrowns. I also ordered black coffee with steamed almond milk. The only issue I had with my order was that I ordered hollandaise sauce on the side, however the chef poured it on top of my eggs benedict. The waiter was extremely courteous about it though, and asked if I wanted it re-made (I just scraped most of the sauce off and told him it was fine). Overall, the smoked salmon benedict was delicious and extremely filling for $16. I would definitely order it again!
It was difficult to decide on what to order since the menu was so extensive and really everything looked delicious. I think next time I'll try one of their specialty waffles or an omelette. My friends ordered the chicken and waffles (which was HUGE), and she raved about it after. My other friends ordered the mac and cheese benedict special with pulled pork on top, the breakfast poutine special (it's poutine week!) and the breakfast burrito (which was okay but not great).
They charge you extra for sides of almond milk ($1 per small pot) so make sure you don't ask for too many.
Overall, my bill came to $21 with tax and tip, which is a little on the pricey side for lunch, but definitely worth it for the food and atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this place!
