| - I love the decor and feel in here. It's chic, but not pretentious. It's unique but not weird. Its small enough to feel cozy, but yet you don't feel cramped. The location is central. It's a place you can come on your own, with friends, with your parents and feel like you've impressed them with an out of the box choice. And the price point is good too.
Came here around 1:45pm on a Saturday afternoon. They don't take reservations, and the place was full! Waited about 5-10 mins, and we got a nice table for two.
I did very much like how it was a four person table, with us at the corner seats. It made for a less cramped lunch.
Our server was friendly and made conversation, but wasn't intrusive.
The restaurant's namesake is Bannock, which defined on their menu is a thin, crunchy pizza, folded over with food goods inside.
We got the Duck Poutine Pizza. Although it was very good (and very filling), it was basically fries, cheese and some duck meat on top of a thin crust pizza. We opted for the pizza instead of a Bannock, because he said it was the most popular.
I think I regret this choice, because although good, I don't like the feeling of grease inside me after a meal, nor was it something unique (fries).
We also shared the Roasted Pork Shoulder. It was amazing. And I was sad I couldn't eat more because I was full from my one slice of pizza.
For dessert, I noted Tong J's suggestion to get the Sour Cream donuts. Yum, it was melt in your mouth.
My only thing about the food here, is that it's heavy. You have definite itis waddling out of here, so choose your dishes wisely!
They also have a great takeaway lunch area.
It seems like a great place for commuters to meet, but coming here with a car was difficult. Parking around Eaton Centre is expensive (Green P street is $3.50 an hour) but you can also try City Hall as well.
