"Le Gourmand just opened this new location at Yonge and Eg and it is definitely a great third addition to their popular food tracks they have already left in the downtown core of Toronto.\n\nI love this place for two specific reasons so far - brunch and purchasing high quality cuisine that is freshly baked or prepared in their bakery/eatery take-out counter.\n\nI was at Le Gourmand yesterday for brunch for Mother's Day with my family and it was absolutely delicious! \n\nMy mom and I both ordered the oatmeal buttermilk pancakes and they were to die for!\n\nThe pancakes itself were made with oatmeal and buttery taste baked into the actual cake. The pancakes were garnished with pure maple syrup and strawberry sauce. \n\nTo accompany the pancakes, the plate was loaded up with fresh seasonal fruit and two slices of crispy bacon.\n\nMy sister ordered the fruit salad bowl with yogurt, granola and honey. Fruits such as grapes, apples, pinapples, all three types of melon, and pears were chopped up and mixed up with granola, yogurt and honey! \n\nFor a very simple dish, it was so delicious and plentiful. Although this may not seem to be enough to fill up one's tummy, it definitely left my sister very satisfied.\n\nAlong with our food, we had coffee, which was freshly and perfectly brewed with cold cream and fresh brown sugar to sweet up our drink. \n\nMy sister had a glass of orange juice, which was HUGE and was fresh and packed with pulp.\n\nAside from eating in their seating area, this location of Le Gourmand has their well known take-out counter, which has a huge variety of sandwiches, salads, bake goods and hot drinks you can take out and enjoy in the comfort of your own home.\n\nThis place just spells out delicious!"^^ .
