| - Who doesn't love breakfast...especially weekend breakfasts..wake up late..no rushing to get there or leave...I love weekend breakfast. The problem is trying to find a breakfast place or restaurant that is not the same old pancakes, bacon, eggs, toast...etc. My wife and my visiting mother in law were out scavenging for a place to eat for breakfast on Sat and I found a place on Yelp which caught my eye..it was actually the homemade Longanisa that made me hit the "Get Directions" button on the app.
Kravingz is located in the Clarkson area of Mississauga (south of the QEW) in a small strip mall off Lakeshore Rd W. It has a modern and casual seating with a small cafe feel to it. We were quickly greeted and seated. The service here is quick and friendly and it's very easy to get help if you need it. The menu from what I was told is the culmination of food adventures that the owners have experienced over years of travel, plus there is some homegrown influences as well. Filipino, Polish, Jamaican, Southern, Mexican cultures and influences pepper the menu. This is not your regular breakfast/comfort food restaurant. Being Filipino, I quickly gravitated to the Homemade Longanisa and the garlic fried rice with egg (aptly called "THE FLIP SIDE"), but then my wife said she was getting the same meal. Not wanting to order 2 of the same thing, I opted for "THE ISLANDER" which was jerk corned beef hash with corn and cheese grits with a poached egg. My mother in law preferred a traditional pancake with a berry compote with toast. Our order was taken and we also ordered freshly squeezed OJ and coffee. The coffee by the way is locally roasted by a father and son team and it is quite good (I had 3 cups).
The food came quickly and there was a few things to watch for. My wife is not a fan of spicy foods, but when she ordered "The Flip Side" it was dressed with banana ketchup (a mildly spicy ketchup), it was not mentioned in the menu so she had no idea. Plus if your not a fan of ketchup...make sure you tell them. The longanisa on her plate on the other hand was quite good and the garlic fried rice was excellent. My meal "The Islander" was an interesting mix, although I liked the hash..the corn and cheddar grits was not the right texture for me.
If your looking for a unique alternative to breakfast/comfort food and your in the Mississauga area, give in to your Kravingz and give em a shot....4 stars
