| - Came here during The Big Taste YYC 2015. I wish I had discovered this gem sooner. The restaurant is quite small, so we were glad to have made reservations well ahead of time. Service was quick and efficient throughout our meal. I loved the personal touches in the wall décor of the restaurant, being able to see the face behind the menus was wonderful.
Their plates are dressed beautifully. It really illustrates the phrase "a feast for the eyes". For my main course, I choose the "Organic egg benny with wild boar bacon & jumbo prawns, heirloom tomatoes, hand whipped hollandaise, fresh baked croissant" and the bf chose the "Hot skillet house made beef meatballs with puttanesca sauce, 2 poached vita eggs, croissant, arugula, reggiano shavings".
It was love at first sight when the egg benny arrived. I lovedlovedloved it, and can't stop thinking about it. The croissant in place of the traditional English muffin was a welcome change, I think I could eat a dozen of them just on their own! I typically don't eat that much bacon... but their boar bacon... I was speechless. Now I know why the table beside us had ordered two side orders of it on top their meals. The benny was not overly dressed with hollandaise. It was a perfectly balanced dish.
I would highly recommend Vero for brunch and am looking forward to trying out their dinner menu as well. So much excitement and anticipation! If you should go down for some brunch, make sure you order some extra boar bacon, you surely won't regret it.
