| - I don't care that this is a huge chain in Canada. To an American, this is epic, epic fare.
My first experience with Cora came during my first ever visit to Montréal. I was 20, and on a family vacation. My parents asked the hotel staff for a breakfast recommendation and they gave us Chez Cora. My oh my were we impressed.
Since, I have been back with every trip to Montréal (4 more times) and recently, we've found one near my sister's place in Toronto. So I would guestimate I've been to Cora 7 or 8 times now, each time with big success.
I always get the Avril 89, a beautiful display of assorted fruits wrapped tightly in a crêpe with nutella. It is to die for. I am usually ready for a food coma after downing an Avril 89, and I often do not find myself hungry for the next 6 or 7 hours. It is truly an awesome dining experience. People that I have eaten with have gotten various meals, from crêpes to fruit meals. Everything that I have seen come out of that kitchen is displayed with the most beautiful precision. Just take a look at the menu on their website and you'll see what I mean.
Inside, the decor is inviting and breakfasty, with that quirky Québec feel. It's safe to say, a trip to Canada is now incomplete without a trip to Chez Cora!
