| - Cora's fruit displays always make me smile..... :)
I first discovered "Chez Cora" in Montreal on a business trip, back in 1998. I remember at that time thinking that the concept was so unique, that all I needed was $250,000 unencumbered cash, to bring this business to Calgary. Yes... sadly.... I looked into it. But, I was a bit short in dough, and further, I am not a restauranteur. I eat in restaurants. That's what I do.
I was delighted when Cora's made it to Calgary. I wouldn't say I am regular there by any stretch, but it is the breakfast place I choose when I am looking for a plate with more fruit, and less bacon. :) You can get the bacon there too, but you will be challenged to find that much fruit anywhere else.
The "breakfast" food itself is comparable to any other family restaurant. A poached egg tastes like a poached egg, no matter where I go. However, the large fruit portions in a lovely display are what keep me going back there.
Another consideration on whether I choose Cora over any other place is how I am "feeling". There are a lot of kids in this family restaurant, so be advised of that. This may not be your first choice on Saturday morning, after a wicked Friday. On most days for me, it is just what the doctor ordered!
