School is one of my favourite brunch places. In the summer, if you're lucky, you'll score a seat on the patio which makes for a great morning meal outside when the temperature is just right. Regardless of when you go on the weekend, there is usually a quite a long wait (20-40mins) for 2. They do take your number and text you when your reservation is near. I've walked around Liberty Village for the two times that I've gone while waiting.
The decor of the restaurant is pretty cool. Everything is "school" themed - from the clocks and bookshelves to homework flying.
Now onto the food...its DELICIOUS. Their menu is split so that those that have a sweet tooth can easily identify the sweeter items. I've tried:
- Stack'd High Buttermilk Pancakes - The pancakes are rich and its quite filling. Recommend sharing this dish with another friend's as the pancakes are just so fluffy and rich for one person.
- Fried Chicken Waffle - This is one of the most popular dishes at the restaurant (as you glance over other tables). Not sure when putting chicken on waffle became a thing, but School does it just right. The waffle is soft and the chicken is nice and crispy making for an ideal combination.
- Hashbrown Poutine - This veggie dish was a mixture hashbrown and some veggies. Tasty but I recommend trying the Chicken Waffle or Buttermilk Pancakes if its your first time visiting!
