| - I came to Barque on a Saturday afternoon around 1pm for brunch with a party of 6 (4 adults 2 kids) and were quickly seated. The brunch menu is solid, with classic options like eggs and bacon and more adventurous fare like smoked duck pancakes -- all with that Barque flair (think pulled pork, candied bacon, and tender brisket).
3 of us got the Barque Benedict ($16), each with a different choice of meat (brisket, pulled pork, citrus smoked salmon). It comes on cornbread with spiced home fries, with a tasty arugula salad. The scrambled eggs ($16) came with pulled pork and candied bacon (their bacon is TO DIE FOR). Everything we got was delicious. Their coffee is bottomless and served in adorable random mugs that will remind you of being at a cottage. You get a choice of sparkling or flat water (ooh fancy). Good portion sizes - we were all full afterwards.
Our party had allergies to gluten and nuts plus a picky child and Barque went above and beyond in accommodating us. Our server was one of the best servers I've had in a long time, completely on top of things, friendly, and patient. It's also worth mentioning they have a gluten free fryer for you gluten-free people that love fries!
The decor inside is BBQ joint-esque. They have an awesome selection of wines and St. Ambroise beer for those that want to imbibe. This place also gets bonus points for having nice, clean individual bathrooms as well as a larger bathroom for families.
All around a 5 star experience - I'll definitely be back!
