I've been holding off on eating at le select. So much hype as the go to brunch spot in Toronto. I've heard of supposed line ups and long waits. Anyway, we chose the morning after the snowstorm to go, so the crowd was non-existent.
The restaurant itself is pretty neat. A nice ambiance and parisian feel to it. I'll admit I was a bit hyped to eat here. It's also hard to screw up brunch. We had the eggs benny and eggs and sausage. They had run out of croissants (at 1pm and a 1/3 full restaurant?). The eggs benny was nothing spectacular. The hollondaise sauce had a sour taste to it. I've unfortunately had better eggs benny at half the price. My eggs and sausage was two small eggs (yes, I get that they're fancy organic ones) and two small house made pork sausages that tasted like they came from a hotel continental breakfast. The rosti was good, though.
Service was mediocre. Friendly but forgetful waitress. Maybe my expectations were too high or I just ordered the wrong thing, or maybe the lunch/dinner is much better. Either way, I was disappointed.
