What a great find!
After a relaxed Sunday noon workout, the man and I were hungry, and very ready for a solid lunch. We are new to the area, and decided to go up to the Junction instead of continuing on Bloor West.
(Un)fortunately, the restaurant that we actually wanted to try was closed on Sundays. Discouraged, we turned around and made our way East on Dundas. I noticed a couple eating by the window and at the last second realized that it was a restaurant.
We looked at the menu and it was The Stinky Frenchman that caught my eye.
Since it was almost 2pm, there was no wait time. Booonus!
Much to my dismay, they were out of The Frenchman, but I opted for The Skinny B*tch, and added a side of peameal bacon, and of course had my coffee. The Man had something that had crepes in it, only because they were out of crepes, he substituted them for home-made crumpets. I stole some, and yes, it was delicious. It was thicker than I expected, but delicious. And I chose caraway toast. I was very impressed with their selection of "breads" as sides. White, whole wheat, caraway, muesli, crumpet, and I forget what else, but as impressed.
The eggs were cooked just right (not too hard, not overly runny), the avocado was creamy, the coffees were decent...but it was the dessert that won my heart! Man had a lemon fillo pastry tart topped with blueberries, I had their heirloom purple-carrot cake, with cream cheese icing. If you aren't hungry, please, at least get the cake!!
All in all, a great food experience, cute casual decor with exposed brick walls, high ceilings, and very friendly, attentive staff with a cute sense of fashion!
Recommend and will come again.
