| - I had walked by this place many times as it's in my 'hood, but hadn't tried it until recently...my only regret is not going sooner!
My boyfriend and I went for Sunday brunch I had the cocotte eggs, which they made vegetarian for me (bonus!) and he had a standard breakfast of eggs, homemade sausage, beans, creton, the works.
Both portions were generous but not obscene, the side of fruit was fresh and they served us a sampling of homemade jam (strawberry/cranberry and strawberry/orange, both delightful). Breakfast included a glass of fresh orange juice...and I'm pretty sure my coffee refills were on the house as well. Touches like this really make a difference.
My cocotte, I have to say, was heavenly! Sweet (the roasted red pepper), savory (juicy portobello) creamy and so filling! I loved every bite! Comfort food with a side of gourmet, with a mix of European and Canadian favorites...what more can you ask for?
The staff are lovely, and the owner was happy to tell me that they are working on their terrace in the backyard, complete with a fountain and art! I simply cannot wait to go back and try all their handmade delicacies, while chilling on their terrace!
