| - So I'm supposedly on a diet! But eggs and smoked salmon never killed anyone? Anyway... I had full intentions of going to the infamous County General, but they don't open their doors til 11 and when you wake up at 8 am, regardless of your night out at the bar, having to starve til 11 doesn't cut it.
Thank god for Hammersmith's!!!
The place is super cute, not a lot of seats and a very laid back kitchen that you're a part of makes you feel like you're at a friend's house hanging out while they prep brunch.
The coffee is bottomless, which usually means it's crap but in this case it's really good. I also saw peeps having fresh grapefruit juice, which I think is also bottomless.
Had mini apple scones with cinnamon sugar and delicious jam from Sausage Partners, which is Leslieville's newest butcher. Followed that with a smoked salmon and egg plate, all locally sourced, that was accompanied by a zesty green salad. Yum!
The chef believes in supporting local partners and it's nice to see this come together in a delicious way. I've also heard the menu changes frequently, which with only a few options is a must.
I'll happily support them, maybe not so much the diet.
