| - Parkdale you say? Queen PAST Landsdowne? I was definitely out of my area of familiarity, but another Sunday, another brunch date with two lovely gentlemen. One of whom drives. Score. Still, this was a bit of a trek for me (clearly not for all the lovely people who live in Parkdale) but it would have been worth if it it was great. Grand Electric was great. (Review coming.) I have to say, I was pretty disappointed with Parts & Labour.
The boys had the English Breakfast. The streaky bacon was really really yummy, and it was pretty authentic says the boy with the British Passport. Authentic, but very very salty. Still, they gave it a decent rating.
I ordered the P&L. Now, imagine a pancake topped with potato hash, pork belly, and a single fried egg. Now picture that with about 1/4-1/3 cup of canola oil poured on top, and now you know what I had for breakfast (and why I had a quinoa salad for dinner). It was greasy, oily, and gave my a tummy ache. The meal is described at having a maple trotter sauce. You know what a bowl of oil with balsamic vinegar looks like? Now picture a pancake in the middle of that and that is what I got. A literal puddle of oil 1-2 inches in diameter around my meal. Totally unappealing.
And the other thing? It wasn't cheap. $70 for brunch and coffee for 3 people. 100% not worth the price.
