| - A dear friend of mine recently moved to Peterborough. Our midpoint to meet these days tends to be around the Oshawa area.
Whenever we go out for dinner, I am mindful that my vegan friend needs a place to suit her food needs. I simply like exploring new places to eat.
I have bookmarked Copper Branch for a while. I looked at my bookmarks and suggested that we go here. She was game, as she has also been meaning to give this place a try.
Copper Branch is located in downtown Brooklin, a bit north of Whitby. We parked on the street and walked in.
You basically order from the menu and the folks at the restaurant bring your food to your table. They jot down what colour or style of clothes that you are wearing, so they bring your food to the right people. Cool!
Everything on the menu is vegan, which made my friend so happy. She ordered the poutine with mushroom gravy and nachos, along with a San Pellegrino in orange. I ordered a portobello mushroom burger, poutine, and a Bec lime soda.
My friend shared some of her nachos with me. They were so good!
I easily get bored of fries. However, the poutine was outstanding here! The cheese was perfect. The fries tasted amazing with the mushroom gravy. There was pepper in the sauce, which was subtle.
I absolutely loved and enjoyed eating my portobello mushroom burger. I love how meaty portobello mushrooms are. You get a full cap with loads of flavour on top of it. I normally don't like eggplant, but I barely noticed it on my burger. So delicious! It is the best portobello burger I have had in my life!
My Bec lime soda was amazing. Bec is short for Quebec, which is the province where this soda is made. The lime was refreshing and had the right tanginess that I was hoping for. There is maple syrup and organic sugar in it, but it wasn't overly done like many products tend to do.
My friend and I both ordered the coconut lime cheezecake and chocolate zucchini brownie to take back home. I got another Bec soda, but in cola flavour instead.
The coconut lime cheezecake was so good. It had a great balance of creaminess, sweetness, and tartness. The brownie was heavenly - lots of chocolate flavour in each bite. I am not big on zucchini, but I didn't notice it at all. I suppose that all the chocolate chips helped mask it, too.
I do like the Bec brand of sodas. The cola is equally as yummy as the lime.
You have the option to dine in or take out. Folks are helpful and friendly at this restaurant. It's a nice, casual place to sit down and chat for hours with good company.
I highly recommend coming here. I left feeling full and happy.
