After coming across this shabby-chic gem on Instagram my girl gang and I decided to head north off of our usual Queen West spots and check out a new neighbourhood.
Wish was certainly the spot to be in the area. The small restaurant was filled with warmth, comforting smells and laughter on a Saturday morning. We walked in and the hostess ask us if we had reservations, I was shocked that such a place would accept reservations on a busy Saturday brunch...so good to know for next time and highly recommend to make. She admitted it was an hour and half wait. For some reason I had a gut feeling (or just starvation) that it wouldn't take that long, we decided to stay and lucked out on three seats at the small bar. Within 25 minutes we were placed at a table! We were seated by the main outside door, with people coming and going often we asked to change tables. The one we wanted was reserved but if they didn't show we could have it... and just our luck, again, they didn't show!
There are two main areas for seating inside and then outside on a covered patio. They make good use of the space by having heat lamps for the colder months without neglecting the patio space.
All of us, ordered the Florentine... because leek and parmesan fondue how could we not? It was a step up from the average eggs benedict. I requested some hot sauce and they legit came over with an old wooden toolbox complete with dozens of hot sauce options, which just blew me away. As for a cocktail we had "Tina" muddled raspberries and prosecco. No better way to start a girl's day!
