| - Woooow. Easily, one of the best brunch joints in the city. The Westerly truly wowed me.
The menu in itself is pretty awesome & interesting. Brunch norms like Eggs Benny & Huevos Rancheros for those who like to stick to the classics, and items like Crème Brulee French Toast & Lemon Ricotta fritters for those who a.) have a crazy big sweet tooth (like myself) & b.) want to try something a little more unique!
In addition to being one of the best brunch joints, The Westerly has some of THE best French Toast, in my opinion. Though by no stretch of the imagination is it a traditional French Toast, it is AH. MAY. ZING. The brulee on top is tasty and delicious, the French Toast itself has a bit of a bread pudding type texture, but the flavours are fantastic. Seriously worth a try.
The Lemon Ricotta fritters remind me of timbits served on a mountain of whipped cream & blueberries. I wouldn't get this as an entrée, though I think they are great for the table to share! Fantastic, fluffy, & full of flavor!
On my most recent visit, I had the Monte Cristo. Yum. The Monte Cristo is one of my favourite breakfast dishes, and The Westerly does it right. Perfect amount of French Toast battering, just enough oozy cheese on the inside, and some delish smoked ham.
There was not ONE complaint about the food with my little party of 6 (oh, and did I mention, they actually take brunch reservations, so no hour long line for brunch with a group!), and I think it was a consensus among the group that each one of us will most certainly be returning.
Total gem of the Roncy area. Check it out!
