| - Chef Michael Noble is a multiple gold and bronze medal winner for Team Canada in the world culinary Olympics, former head chef of Catch and the first Canadian ever to compete in Iron Chef JAPAN against Morimoto in Battle Potato.
NoTAble, his creation, takes weeks to get a reservation for dinner. Judging from brunch, it's worth it.
I've been to his resto in Bowness often since 2010, always with wickedly great Phil and Sabastien coffee and mimosas. In one visit, my friend Shirley kept raving about the lychee martini (She kept raving on how subtle the lychee flavor was, and how refreshing it was). The Sunday Brunch menu is filled with a familiar selection of farm fresh eggs and freshly smoked bacon, bennys and so on, but always with some sort of modern twist. For example, Chef Noble transformed the classic corned beef hash into a Salmon, sweet corn and pepper hash with potatoes ($14), or the simple crab cake became a dungeness crab and halibut cake ($19) and so on.
There's also the NoTAble burger of the week.... this particular week was a Grade AAA Alberta beef and bison burger with smoked cheese and bacon, on a homemade baked sesame seed bun and freshly cut french fries ($16). and it was simply one of the best I've ever had period.
It's simply fantastic, but my only complaint time and time again.... the length of the service. Honestly, this is an event meal, but definately not a quick pop in for a nosh. 3 hours... that's how long it took for brunch. And it's never been shorter. But Chef Noble is a world class chef, and it's worth every bite. :)
