| - On a snowy April Sunday morning what else can a guy want? Brunch, DUH! And not just any brunch but one that will amazed him with warm and fuzzy ... in his tummy! Gosh, this is yelp you know =P Of course, I dreamt about this on Saturday so I had amble time to put my name onto their reservation list. To my surprised, you DON'T need it! At least not at 11:30a Wooo, btw if you are planning to walk around The Eaton Centre (TEC) after or check out the new Saks, you should really consider parking at TEC so that your entire adventure is paid for ... when it comes to parking.
Checking out the menu, I was all excited about the special 1 weekend Canadian Maple Syrup brunch menu, but shortly after i took a peek at the menu, I was drawn to ... "POUTINE"! Yes, that's actually what guys want in the morning. But to 110% justify it, it's a Brunch Poutine! For a decent 12 dollar it comes with curds, corned beef brisket and a fried egg :) Aside from that I've also ordered the free-run turkey burger (tempura onion and avocado really got my attention), but since I don't want to look like a fat-so, I told them the Brunch Poutine is for the table LOLL .... NOT!
The service was great! Waiter was really promoting cocktail inspired drinks for this fine morning. He was very attentive and the food came out quickly. At 11:30am there was only 1 big group (12+) at the far end of the restaurant. When you first work in from Bay it looked almost like an upscale diner, but once you hit the main dinning room you know the in something fancier :) Fancier enough to simply just do the "walk of shame" in of course, your fancy bar/club attired you wore last night hahaha (yes, I'm laughing at my own dumb humour)
OK - back to the poutine. Lets cut to the chase ... it's worth more than $12 (@Bannock, plz don't raise the price) but I'd paid $20 for this dish! OMG, it was SO GOOD! In order to have the full experience I've cut the egg into 3 (so we can allow the other 2 to try .... a bit). The fries where NOT soggy, it was mixed nicely with turkey gravy. The curd was soft and not overly stringy. It was JUST mouth watering tasty! Somehow the mixture of egg yolk, gravy and fries just works! ... Reminds me of steak and eggs + RICE! :)
I'd touch on what other has or the free-run turkey burger, but the highlight of this adventure is definitely the brunch poutine! We'll come back again! and maybe try the brunch poutine pizza. But YESSSS the turkey burger is also awesome! It wasn't dry as expected. The choice of bun was well picked, not too soggy or greasy. You know what? if they also add a fried egg in it then it will 1+ in my book too. I might ask for that next time =P
