Gilead cafe has been on my Toronto brunch to-do list for awhile. A friend had a groupon she was dying to use, so today was the day.
I can't remember the actual name of the dish I ordered but if I were to re-name it, I'd call it "Mountain of awesome fries with fried eggs and homemade sausage on top". The fries really were so awesome. Fresh. Crispy. Perfectly salty.
My friend ordered the cheesy scrambled eggs with bacon/potato roasti. Regret! I had meal envy as soon as it arrived.
I don't know about you, but when I think of cappuccinos, I picture an obnoxiously oversized bowl-like cup. The Gilead cappuccino is served in a tiny mug - seriously, about half the size of a mug you get if you order drip coffee. A little disappointing.
Overall, Gilead is a beautiful space for brunch, service is good, as is the food. I'd stick to the drip coffee next time around.
