| - So, my friend and I wandered into OEB as a matter of default because a nearby restaurant we had intended on going to was closed - and wow, did we luck out! OEB Breakfast Co. is my new exciting restaurant to tell people about!
Walking in, I immediately felt comfortable in the fresh and modern décor, complete with chalk drawings and pics on the ceiling. (Unique touch, I thought).
We were seated immediately - even though the place was packed as it was 12 noon and the lunch crowd was out in full force. Might I add that there were a wide variety of ages seated in the restaurant. I believe on the door said that they were able to seat 50 people max.
We had a great table right in front of the window - always my favourite place to be seated!
Glancing at the menu, I knew there was no way I was going to be able to decide what to order. The menu was pretty big - with lots of variety - breakfast options, burgers, sandwiches - and some of the yummiest food combinations you can imagine. (think pork belly, truffle oil, applewood bacon, etc.)
We started with steaming cups of organic coffee and just when I thought I was going to have a wicked eggs benny with yummy truffle oil, I saw the order arrive at the table next to us. One of the orders was an amazing looking spinach salad adorned with fruit the other order was a brioche-like bun piled high with pulled chicken, applewood smoked bacon, aioli sauce, lettuce and tomato.
Guess what I ordered? Yes, the pulled chicken. It. was. amazing. It came with herbed potato wedges that were cooked in duck fat. They were extra delicious! The garnish was substantial and edible - strawberry, a bunch of grapes another beautiful fruit - maybe passionfruit?
My friend had a seafood omelette which she just raved about.
The lunch crowd thinned out and we ended up chatting and staying for awhile. The server was awesome and refreshed our coffee three times.
Go and enjoy OEB, you will love it!
