Eggs & Oysters for Sunday-Fun-day, why not?
After many dinners, brunches and first dates at Swan, it remains steady as one of my quaint neighbourhood favourites in Trinity Bellwoods. The seating and layout provide an old school diner feel. The service is always fun and attentive. I brunched at Swan today with a few friends. We started with a dozen freshly shucked oysters to share. These tasty fun aphrodisiacs were followed up with brunch eggs. My brunch choice was the huevos rancheros. Great flavours and consistencies throughout. Came with amazing potatoes as well. Not a super healthy dish, yet not overly greasy.
I have had many dinners at Swan, it' s a great spot for a fun, comfortable dining experience with great food, yet casual vibe & reasonable prices. The kitchen never disappoints. The service is friendly and attentive. Great drinks (like the iced tea lemonade).
The desserts are also often interesting and superb (in my view one of the best creme brûlée's in the city and I'm a creme brûlée connissuer!). I have gone in larger groups and also on dates which lasted very long. Have always felt comfortable, never rushed and well taken care of. Only drawback, the booth seats are not the most comfortable seating in the world, especially in groups of four (two is more comfortable). Love this spot and will go back again and again!
