| - Three's Company has the misfortune of being located *just* that little bit East of Pape on the Danforth that many people don't consider part of the Danforth 'strip' and only venture that way when they know there is somewhere good to go.
I live East of Pape, just off the Danforth, so I have actually walked by this place every day for the last two years and have always noticed it, but never ventured in.
On Saturday and Sunday mornings, it is always busy. I noted this to be a good thing, though we all know how busy doesn't always mean good a la Pizzeria Libretto...
Annnyway, my Husband and I decided to check it out this past Sunday for brunch. It was wonderful. They have brunch specials on the weekend, as well as their regular brunch menu. It's not a huge restaurant, so depending on when you arrive, you might have to wait a few minutes, but the wait is worth it.
I had the eggs florentine. As anyone who enjoys a good eggs benedict or florentine knows, it can either be great or downright terrible and there's not much in between. This was was phenomenal. Great hollandaise sauce AND instead of the eggs being atop your average english muffin, they are served across an in-house made cheese scone. Wonderful.
My husband had a more daring (but equally delicious dish) called Southwestern Eggs. The poaches eggs were served in a spicy salsa with tortilla chips! Both of our dishes were served with excellent homemade potatoes as well.
One noteworthy thing is that the portions are the most "normal" I have seen in a restaurant in a long time. I didn't have to take any away with me and I wasn't uncomfortably full when I finished my brunch. Kudos to the chefs for keeping the portions healthily sized.
I also noted that the menu has a number of sweet dishes too. Some really abundant french toasts and waffle dishes jumped out at me, but since I am currently "eating for two", I've been opting for the more balanced approaches to food. When baby arrives, I'll be sure to get back on the sugar-high wagon I love!
Finally, if you're looking for a place with unbelievable decor and ambiance, don't go here. Or do and don't complain about the decor and ambiance. It's a comfortable, brunchy place, not Nota Bene.
If you've seen my review on La Cabana you know I love the restaurants that serve unbelievably good food without all the frills of a fancy resto. I love a fancy resto once in a while too, but I know you can't have it all and I'd rather have great food at reasonable prices. Enjoy!
