After seeing some drool-worthy photos of the Whippoorwill's brunch on Twitter and Instagram, I had to make it my next brunch destination. The power of social media, eh?
And... I'm happy to report, it lived up to my expectations. 4.5 stars!
What Jess ate:
Whippoorwill Burger - ground prime beef, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and Russian dressing on a buttered bun ($14). Voted the "Best Burger over $10" (Now Magazine) and well deserved! The juicy patty was cooked to a nice medium rare, the cheese was perfectly melted and the Russian dressing packed a nice punch. The burger was served with a ridiculously good side of fries. Extra crispy, just the way I like 'em.
Poached Eggs - on a buttermilk biscuit with fried Brussels sprouts, house smoked maple bacon and chive & brown butter hollandaise ($14). Perfectly poached eggs, moist & fluffy biscuits, flavourful hollandaise... and the killer brussels sprouts.
Apple Pancakes - with maple syrup, glazed apples, walnut crumble and cinnamon cream ($13). While just a touch denser than what I prefer, they were still pretty damn good. I loved the classic combination of the apples, cinnamon and maple.
I was impressed with what they had to offer for brunch. Next time: dinner!
