| - Another highly talked about restaurant in the bag!
I know just a few days ago I raved about the cute little neighborhood of Highland Park, but I must say again, it's adorable! I'm just surprised that most of the storefronts on this road were shuttered or closed down. It's a shame with Park Bruge being so popular... You'd think more people would come out here seeking other businesses. But I digress...
A late afternoon lunch offered a chance to slip right in. Still being on a diet, I resisted the urge to order the poutine (soon, my friends, there will be some cheat days!). I saw the Spinach Salad and thought, perfect! The salad comes with strawberries, pears, dried cranberries, candied walnuts and multigrain crostini. I also added in portobello mushrooms for an extra $2. Good choice on my part! The bello's were nice, big and juicy and a perfect addition to a flavorful salad. I really enjoyed the creamy chevre walnut dressing too, especially because they don't scrimp on it (if you like light dressing you might want to get it on the side). I also really loved the candied walnuts (dah!). There was a ton of spinach, so you really don't have to worry about it being a dinky salad! The crostini, meh, I took a couple nibbles but left most aside.
The service was extremely friendly but laid back. To the point where if you had somewhere to be, you may want to keep an eye on time, it can get a little slow.
I definitely want to come back off diet so I can indulge in some of the delicious looking items ie POUTINE!
