| - Went back again for #MtlaTable brunch this year and took my whole family to try it because I loved it so much last time! I now rate it 3.5* and here's why: last year, we had one wooden board of mezzes for 2, unlimited bread, and each a savoury main option (the meat filled borek and the sujuk & baked egg - both delicious).
This year, and to my disappointment, they had run out of the ricotta omelette option, so I opted for the baked eggs with veggies in a skillet. Good but not as flavourful as the sujuk skillet. I also tried the vegetarian borek, the lamb meatballs and the potato & chicken plates. The chicken was cheap in portion and kind of bland, the meatballs in an oily sauce was also on the bland side... the borek and the baked eggs were the best options.
They only brought us 2 baskets of bread and 2 wooden planks, as if we were 4 people, but we were paying for 5. The fact that we were charged for the 3rd basket of bread shouldn't even be a thing (it's not about the cost, but rather the principle).
Also, I don't know if it's because they are catering to the Canadian clientele but I don't understand why they serve food that's on the bland side since Turkish food is anything but! The black tea, once again, was too perfumed and weak.
All this to say, if you've never tried it, then it's a unique experience with yummy food and the quantity-price ratio is worth it if you're an even number of people but I don't think I would go back for a third time.
