| - I went to the Old Mill Inn and Spa this morning with a friend for breakfast. Not being from Toronto, I wasn't aware or familiar with The Old Mill historically, nor the luxury and prestige it connotes.
From a "travel" perspective, I have to say, driving to this establishment from where I live was lovely. The route we took through that part of Toronto was really beautiful, and so unlike most of the city. (I mean in the woodsy, detached homes, and tiny winding roads kinda way)
Regardless, we arrived at The Old Mill (which was really a beautiful place to eat breakfast) and I ordered the "Twisted Pancakes" -- three very nicely made pancakes topped with creme fraiche, carmelized apples and served with DELICIOUS home fries (roasted potatoes perfectly seasoned with fleur de sel and rosemary). My friend had the omelette with sausage, roma tomato, and goat cheese (also with homefries). We both enjoyed our meals (a lot) and while I wouldn't come back here regularly both because of the inconvenience (its' not close) and the price (12 for my pancakes, 15 for his omelette, a few bucks for tea and coffee and breakfast was almost 40 with a tip). This isn't a crazy expensive meal, but it's more for breakfast than I usually pay, and doesn't have the "walkability" or neighbourhood factor for an after-breakfast stroll I usually like.
I will DEFINITELY go back, but most likely for birthdays or special occasions.
