Here’s a great little restaurant in Kensington
Market that not only serves a great dinner (green bean poutine, for example),
but also a really tasty brunch. Now, the dinner portion we've only heard
reviews from friends who have gone there, but on their recommendation, we went
for brunch one Saturday morning and were pleasantly surprised by their
offerings.
The menu isn’t huge, but with daily specials, seasonal
ingredients, and some creative inspirations, it’s really worth the visit. And, according to their Facebook page, a new menu is in the works, so it might be worth heading back there some time soon.
On
this particular summer day some time last year, peaches were in season, so their
daily French toast creation was cinnamon bread with peach syrup and maple
whipped cream. I ordered that one up without a second thought, and let me tell
you, the aroma was heavenly, the taste even more so.
Matt opted for a different take and chose an item not
currently on their menu. It was a braised pork belly served over cornbread with
baked beans and a cranberry compote (at least, that’s what I am translating
from the photo we took). This was an even more usual choice for him, as he
usually likes to test out a new brunch place with the standard scrambled eggs
and bacon, but I think the pork belly got the better of him.
While we don’t get to Kensington as often as we’d like these days,
when we do venture back, we know there’s a great place to grab brunch. For now,
we’ll explore the food in our new neighbourhood. We’ve already tried a handful
of places and are looking forward to exploring more and, of course, sharing them all with you.
