Bodega Henriette is a small restaurant located in the Upper Beaches neighbourhood (on Gerrard between Coxwell and Woodbine) that can seat around 30. Upon entering, the interior gives a warm welcoming vibe that has a uniqueness to it; the different wallpapers in the restaurant give the place some character and some colour. I recently came to try their brunch with a party of 4 around 12 noon on a Saturday. Although the place was busy, we waited around 15 min for a table.
Upon being seated, service was friendly and attentive and we never felt rushed to leave as we were able to converse in a relaxing environment. Our party had the waffle bennies (one with smoked salmon, one with bacon, and one with arugula and tomato jam) and the peameal sandwich. The smoked salmon and bacon waffle bennies were great but the arugula and tomato jam benny lacked some flavour (as a vegetarian option for brunch). The peameal sandwich was a huge portion with stacks of peameal bacon which was filling.
Overall, a bit further east of the city but a good place with a local community relaxing vibe for brunch.
