I've had a fair amount of brunch in Toronto from the east side to the west side, and Drake's eggs Benny is HANDS DOWN the worst I've ever had.
Poached eggs covered in a bland, soupy hollandaise sauce.
A measly portion of ham that under a blind taste test would appear to be a tasteless mystery meat. The less on your plate, the better
Mediocre, forgettable toast (and to think, the drake owns a bakery)
A big handful of greens covered in nothing but the taste of horseradish. Why horseradish?
NO HOMEFRIES. Not mandatory but kind of a staple to bennies for me so that's just the expired cherry on top.
All for an incredibly exorbitant sum of SIXTEEN %!?@ing dollars.
I know this review sounds over dramatic. But I'm not a brunch snob. All I know is no amount of salt or pepper or hot sauce could save that meal.
I feel cheated. Robbed.
Executive chef Ted Corrado do you even taste this brunch menu? Have you had your own eggs Benedict?
I'm only writing this so no one has the same experience my partner and I had.
With countless other incredible brunch spots in this massive city, don't settle for this subpar brunch-ripoff.
If you're hankering for breakfast food, you're better off making eggs and bacon at home and saving money.
From the bottom of my heart, you can do better.
