I was excited to stroll along the Danforth and see a new brunch spot in the neighbourhood! Today, we stopped in to check out the scene and try our brunch favourite: the eggs benny.
THE GOOD:
- Service was good overall. Our servers were very polite and we were served quickly.
- The place has a trendy, clean and upscale vibe - think Local 1794 (down the street) but less bar-y and more restaurant-y. It's great to have more options like this in the neighbourhood.
- I would give my eggs benny a solid 4/5. I don't know what they put in their hollandaise sauce, but this was easily the best hollandaise sauce I've ever had: thick, creamy and all around scrumptious. If I could, I would dunk my head in a bin of this stuff or take a bath in it - it's that good.
THE BAD:
- Probably my miss for not making note of this when ordering, but I prefer my eggs benny with very soft, runny eggs. I want the yolk to ooze out and mix with the hollandaise sauce to make a heavenly concoction all over the bacon, you know? These eggs were just a little overcooked.
- I thought the prices were a little on the high side - $15 for an eggs benny is high in this neck of the woods.
All in all, if you're in this part of town and want to try the best hollandaise sauce of your life, be sure to check out Forth Avenue.
