| - We went on a Sunday & did the Brunch Buffet & split the YYCBurgerweek burger. The brunch had a selection of fruit & some fresh baked danishes, cheese & cold cutes; hot steel cut oatmeal with a selection of toppings; yogurt parfaits; scrambled eggs, potatoes with caramelized onions, sausage, bacon, eggs benedict, margharita pizza & pancakes. The bar served as the buffet table & though the selection may seem limited the quality of the food is excellent. I much prefer a limited choice but excellent quality. Everything is made in house. The eggs benedict were the best I have tasted in a long time, the yolks still runny though served at a buffet and the sauce perfect. The coffee is an excellent full-bodied roast unique to Yellow Door. Service was excellent and our waiter Heath was attentive and there when necessary and brought us juices, teas and refills of coffee when necessary. Bacon lovers must try the buffet brunch if only for the bacon. This is one of the best brunches I have enjoyed, it is a well-rounded selection and not so over-whelming that by the time you try and taste everything you are full and can't really go back to get the stuff you really want to eat more of. The pancakes were tiny loonie-size served in tiny enamelled cast iron pots with their own lids to keep them warm. They were served with a delicious caramelized banana sauce. Each serving was 4 min pancakes, enough to taste and tantalize without making you feel guilty about the carbs you are ingesting. The YYCBurger was a BBQ braised Spring Creek beef cheek, celery root remoulade, arugula, pancetta and heirloom tomato on a homemade bun. The beef cheek was melt in your mouth tender but needed a little more salt, the bun was excellent and the fries were pretty good, most of them crisp on the outside. All in all the food was excellent and I would definitely go back to try their regular menu offerings.
