So I had never heard of this little gourmet gem until the Restaurant Review segment on CBC aired a review of OEB Friday morning, 5 weeks ago.
I love breakfast. And I enjoy going to high end establishments to little diners to get my breakfast on. But I also like a good quality breakfast with excellent coffee in an upbeat atmosphere with good service.
OEB has it all. I was able to enjoy a cappuccino with my boxed breakfast of lox and crispy potatoes smothered in a lovely hollandaise sauce adorned with generous bites of cheese curds.
The menu is extensive and there's lots to choose from when it comes to quality gourmet breakfast. It's not your ordinary flapjack and links place. You get to choose from items that you've always wanted to explore and enjoy but never knew where to get them in an unassuming and fun place.
The service was good and attentive and I do like the location of the OEB downtown.
You need to get there early. When my boyfriend and I got there at 7:57 on a Sunday morning, 3 other people were waiting to get in.... by 8:2O the place was 3/4 seated and I can't imagine what it looks like come 9:30am!
Great place to get your breaky on!
