| - Egg Oasis is a modern-looking restaurant with paintings of mountains and lakes. I found out from the waitress that Egg Oasis is not affliated with Cora's. The 2 restaurants are very similar in menu and fruit presentations. Egg Oasis comes out of Quebec, the waitress told me.
The food:
Oasis Special - 2 eggs, over-easy, came with ham, baked beans, double order of sausages (opted for no bacon), crispy potatoes, crepe, toast, little bit of fruit - the baked beans are a nice addition to breakfast, the crepe was a plain crepe.
DB4 - Double something or another - came with 2 eggs, over-easy, spinach and cheese crepe, double order of sausages (opted for no bacon), crispy potaotes, toast, little bit of fruit - I liked the spinach and cheese crepe. It was not bad. My eggs were a little overcooked.
Eggs with Sausages - basic over-easy eggs with potatoes and sausages and toast, little bit of fruit.
French Toast with a crepe and tons bananas and strawberries, side of cream, maple syrup - this was a pretty big plate; the crepe was the size of the round plate and top of the crepe was the french toast topped with bananas and strawberries. Eat this only if you are extremely hungry!!
The food took a while to come out; we waited for about 1/2 hour. Coffee was refilled in our coffee containers. Pretty good coffee.
My pet peeve: the tables are put too close together and it felt cramped and claustrophobic in the restaurant. I can hear the whole conversation that is going on in the table beside us! I could see the waitresses were also having difficulty meandering through the narrow aisles. For some reason, the waitress never asked us how we wanted our toast as toast does come with the first 3 items listed above. So, we waited another 5 minutes for the toast to arrive.
To compare it to Cora's - I think this place is a little better in terms of quality of food. We didn't have to wait in line today and merely strolled in. I noticed that for a holiday Monday, people started to come in around 9 a.m. and the restaurant started to fill up pretty quickly.
Update: The restaurant now has Shaw Free WiFi.
