| - The Spot
Have you ever gone out for a big night on Queen west, only to wake up the next day and be forced to re-live every embarrassingly (awesome) moment over breakfast? Are you tired of forcing hungover smalltalk with every one you know at those trendy west end brunch spots? Now imagine somewhere warm and comforting where they will keep your coffee cup full, feed you and all without the pressure of a see and be seen brunch experience. It's time to switch up your weekend morning routine to some east side brunch time loving!
Located in the emerging Leslieville neighbourhood on Queen east at Logan, Lady Marmalade has everything your breakfast/lunch/brunch loving self desires.
Whats Really Good?
Eggs Benedict is the standard by which any self respecting brunch restaurant is measured. Lady Marmalade does not disappoint, they have a full selection of bennies with plenty of options to satisfy both vegetarians and boring old omnivores. The hollandaise sauce is fantastic, but if you're feeling adventurous the menu has much more to offer.
Regular breakfast and lunch fare at Lady Marmalade stands out with eclectic twists on traditional recipes. Asian and South American inspirations pop up in delightful places throughout the menu, such as the miso scallion gravy which is served with the Crepe Croque Monsieur, or the Mango salsa on the Avocado, Brie & Bacon sandwich.
You'll Wanna Know
You should expect a line, so try to be sneaky by sending friends ahead of time. Tables will only be seated if the full party is there, so by the time you show up (fashionably late) your friends/line holders, should be right at the front (mission accomplished). Alternatively, just get every one to show up a bit on the early side to beat the line up and get in before the daily specials have sold out (this will help keep you in your friends good graces).
Also its cash only, and they don't serve poutines on weekends - bummer.
