| - Mmmmm! Caught up with a few friends over brunch at Smash, and really enjoyed it! This place is a hidden gem in Unionville, tucked away in the corner of a somewhat random plaza.
I ordered the eggs florentine for my love of smoked salmon. The eggs were poached perfectly, and I liked how they weren't drowning in hollandaise sauce, which is the problem I usually have with eggs benny. The spinach and capers also paired really well with the salmon. Eaten alone, the hash browns got a bit too salty after a while, so I'd recommend having it with ketchup. Overall, a very well thought-out dish!
The french toast came with 4 large blocks of toast. It was really warm and soft, and the cinnamon flavour was delicious! My friend ordered this dish alone though, and the taste got repetitive after eating half of it, so I'd advise ordering this to share rather than as a main course.
My other friends went with the prix fixe, which came with a main course, coffee/tea, and dessert. They loved their crab cakes benedict and the meatloaf skillet (which remained hot even over an hour into the meal).
We were seated at a table in the corner, and ended up staying for a solid 5 hours without getting kicked out! It's a classy, yet casual, place to spend an afternoon or evening. I would definitely come back to try other items on their menu!
