| - I had wanted to go to E.L.Ruddy for a long time now, since having read Val G.'s raving review. Being east-enders, my sister and I weren't too interested in wandering to the west end. However, we actually ended up coming here on a rainy Saturday afternoon while looking for Vietnamese wedding gowns on Dundas. We peeked in and thought, "Hmmm, E.L. Ruddy. That name sounds familiar ... wait! We've always wanted to come here!"
E.L. Ruddy has a small, licensed little bar, and a long wooden table by an open window. Multiple signs screaming "cash only" are littered around the front door.
And brunch even at 2 pm?! Yes, please!
I'm just glad I didn't order one plate for myself, because the portions are very generous! My sister and I shared the vegan omelette with balsamic cherry tomatoes. It came with fresh, young arugula, sprinkled with pumpkin seeds and a light dressing. There were also panned roasted potatoes, more than the two of us could eat! The omelette itself was pretty solid, with Daiya cheese sprinkled on top (I would have preferred it melted on the inside).
Also a large tea menu - there's a whole separate page for it, including three types of roibos! The teas were listed as $2.75, but for some reason, we were charged $3 each. Oh well, no biggie. They were delish.
Yum yum yum!
