| - If you haven't been to Full Circle's brunch, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? Look, I'm not even a fan of brunch. Waiting for an hour or more in an interminable lineup to get what is, from what I've seen of brunch menus, basically breakfast has never appealed to me, and my last kick at the brunch can was so bad I'd sworn off the whole concept. But a houseguest here for Sled Island wanted brunch and so after crossing several places off my list because they're either too crowded, have terrible food, or both, I remembered seeing pics of interesting brunch items on the Full Circle twitter/IG/facebook feeds so off we went.
This was three weeks ago. We split an order of FC's amazing thrice-cooked fries because we ordered the eggs benny with bacon (avocado and trout are also on offer) and didn't see potatoes listed and, at the price, we didn't expect any side but maybe an orange slice. As it turned out, there are ample and beautiful, crispy home fries on the side, but the fries are so spectacular we still finished our split order, and more important is that the main was nothing short of spectacular. Full Circle makes its own English muffins!! The hollandaise is the best I've had in decades, lemony and...perfect. The whole affair was too much to dream, and we shared the dining room not with the crowds who SHOULD be coming here instead of [fill in the blank trendy spot in Bridgeland], but with a family of three and that was it. It was heartbreaking.
Not as heartbreaking as today, when I went by myself and got the absolutely astonishingly delicious bacon-onion pancake, which is a Dutch style pannenkoek, all crispy and amazing, which with a drizzle of syrup is the most mesmerizing and delicious combo of sweet and salty (from the glorious double-smoked bacon) I've had in... well, forever. I INHALED this thing. That part wasn't heartbreaking. Heartbreaking is the zero other customers there, on Stampede's last Saturday, when it should have been PACKED. This place should always be packed, but in particular, given the enormous popularity of brunch and the fact that Farm (across the street) is no more so that choice no longer exists, for brunch. I can't fathom why Full Circle isn't more popular. The food is better than amazing, prices are more than reasonable, service is top notch. I'll repeat my plea from my original review to go here- but in particular, this should be THE spot for brunch on 17th. Give it a chance; you'll thank me.
