| - We went on a Sunday morning to try their brunch menu for birthday celebration. At the entrance, a large glass showcase of readily made gourmet sandwiches, pastries and salads were prepared for the on-the-run crew. Looked healthy! Mouth watering! Service was great - responsive, tentative, and warm.
Free Run Turkey Burger ($16) was prepared with condiments of tempura onion, avocado and a dill pickle mayo sauce. It came with a few vegetable chips on the side. The chips were thickly cut and quite hard, requires strong teeth to tear it apart. However, it was not oily at all and seasoned with adequate amount of salt. I quite liked it for a different texture and has a sweet taste to it, while absorbing the fiber and nutrients. No surprise from the burger. The turkey patty was tasty and juicy, while the sauce was not very distinct. It was quite a generic burger, despite having the jazzy ingredients.
Roast Duck Poutine Pizza ($16) was made curds, fries, duck, and accompanied by the recommended nasty sauce on the side. The nasty sauce was an attractive sour and very spicy sauce. The first sample of the sauce was bearable, but the more you try it, the more if feels like your tongue had gone on fire. The pizza was a successful combination of two comfort foods. With a thin crust and a lot of toppings, the pizza was baked just about right to be crunchy and crispy. The juices all retained to make the pizza extremely flavourful and fun to eat. Not too complicated or overwhelmed by the burst of toppings~
Huge potion sizes, we could barely finish it. For an early Sunday brunch, I enjoyed the lightness of the meal, and little oil. The environment was just great and relaxing, with quite a bit of privacy to feel comfortable.
