We had the southwest omelet which they give you an entire half of a fresh avacado as well as salsa and sour cream. It was served popping hot. Potatoes are ok but switching them out is an up charge which is annoying. We also had the florentine Benedict which was really yummy. A. Ice umami flavor to it. All in all, a nice brunch and we didn't have to wait too long for the food. Service was great.

Thank god I found it because one large chicken + chorizo poutine can feed my hungry wife and I and we even have leftovers! The fries are fresh, crispy, and the gravy is made with drippings of their own rotating rotisserie chicken. The chorizo sausage is barbecued to perfection. Did I mention they give you a lot of food for the price!? They also have a beautiful bakery with Bolas, strawberry cheesecake, and other fresh-made bakery items. They also have great service, with friendly cashiers, and the quality of food is 6 out of 5 stars. It's my favorite place and I come here almost once a week. They are passionate about their food and generous, and if you don't feel like paying up-the-arse for delicious Portuguese chicken Romados is the place for you. It's homey, they have spicy and mild Piri Piri sauce to choose from, the fries are tasty but not too salty, Chicken Salad is really delicious, and furthermore, they have family options, rice, potatoes, and you can order a half or quarter chicken, as well as other options like soup and barbecue pork (also very good). Thank you Romados!

My kid and I had a delightful lunch here!…read more This lovely restaurant is on the site of the much loved, much missed St. Viateur bagel cafe/restaurant (RIP). I loved the outdoor patio area (which, of course, was not open, being the dead of winter and all lol)! This patio area is large and framed by a wooden canopy. I can imagine it being a great seating area come summer. My kid and I LOVED the interior of this restaurant! It was gorgeous, reminiscent of a solarium, with SO much natural light (the whole wall facing the street is floor-to-ceiling windows. In fact, I think these windows open up to the patio area when the weather is nice). In the middle of the large space are some artificial lemon trees strung with white lights. There are panels of wallpaper by the entryway depicting garden greens with bright yellow lemons. The effect of it all is airy, and with the rattan-backed dining chairs, it really feels like one is dining in a lovely garden. A bougie garden. We were seated right away. The menu was impressive, with many choices for sandwiches and salads (most were traditional dishes, but all seemed to have some sort of twist. We liked that!). I LOVED the nod to traditional Jewish foods (this used to be the St. Viateur cafe, after all!), with some classic bagel plates, and matzo ball soup and potato latkes being offered. I also LOVED the homage to Larry David and Richard Thomas and more, naming various deli sandwiches after these famous folks. They also had a healthy wine and cocktail selection (LOVE that!), and wonderful looking desserts. All in all, super menu. You'd be hard-pressed not to find something you like here. Our order was taken right away. Nice! We ordered the Pigeon Salad and a turkey wrap to share. (The wraps come with your choice of dipping sauce. We opted for a Russian dressing sauce). And the food came promptly, too, and it was all delicious. The salad was so fresh, with wonderful goat cheese crumbles, chopped dates, crisp greens, and a flavorful champagne vinaigrette on the side. (The dressing was so good, I tried to duplicate it the following day. Really really good). The wrap was also wonderful, with a generous helping of moist turkey wrapped with lettuce in a warm tortilla. It totally did not need the dipping sauce (although, hey, we didn't complain that it was there! The wrap was moist and flavorful enough to stand on its own). My kid had an iced latte and said it was great. Our meal was super. The only reason why I am not giving this restaurant 5 stars is because it took a LONG LONG time for us to get our bill to pay, once we were done dining. We actually thought they had forgotten about us. I couldn't catch our server's eye (and he didn't come to our area at all for over half an hour, actually). I saw our server chatting it up with other servers in a far corner of the restaurant. I kept watching the clock on my phone, worried that our parking meter was going to run out, and I finally asked a busboy who was clearing an adjacent table to please have our server bring us the bill. It was another 5-10 minutes until the owner came with the bill (I think it was the owner. It was a woman who apologized for the delay, saying how young her staff was there, and that she would talk to them about the service delays). (I wouldn't even mention all this but it took us between 30-40 minutes after we finished eating before we got the bill so, yeah, it really was a long time). Anyhow, this was the only glitch to our meal, and it wasn't a huge problem. We had a delightful meal, and for sure, I'll be back. I even raved about this place to my parents, and they are looking forward to visiting, too.

When we told our server, and inquired why everything was brought out at once, they said they don't do courses, as it's busy and the staff can't accommodate bringing out multiple dishes. The place was not busy! I've been to the pigeon cafe in Toronto, and overall it was a better experience.

Since we prefer to avoid fried food, we weren't sure this would be the right restaurant for us. However, when we stuck our heads in to check it out, it looked so cute and the owners were so kind and welcoming that we decided to give it a try. Their menu is extensive, so we were able to find a number of healthier options. The prices seemed unusually high (e.g. $21 for a tabbouleh salad), but they told us that everything is shareable and homemade, so we felt we had to give it a try. We started with the yalanji (grape leaves) that tasted like they came out of a tin. Next, we had the hummus that had an unsettling tang, like it may have gone bad. It came with flatbread that probably came from the supermarket. We also had the lentil soup. I am obsessed with lentils, and I'm not sure I've ever had a lentil soup I didn't like, but this was a new low. It tasted like canned Annie's lentil soup, but a little more watered down. Shockingly flavorless. Lastly, the tagine. WOW, you won't believe this. When it got to our table, we were surprised to find that the clay dish was cold to the touch, even though the food inside was hot. Some of the vegetables were stewed/steamed, some were crunchy and barely cooked, and some were charred like they came off the grill. It was obvious that it was not cooked in a tagine. We asked, and they confirmed that it is, in fact, cooked in a different pot and then deposited into a tagine for looks only. Even though an entire wall of the restaurant is covered in tagines on display! This would be like brewing a few K-cups and transferring the coffee into a French press to place on the table. Who does that?? And don't even get me started on the protein chunks in the tagine that were supposedly homemade with soy and shiitake mushrooms. It tasted like teriyaki chicken from the vegan frozen entree aisle of the grocery store. Overall, this restaurant is running an outrageous money grab operation by charging premium prices for the most mediocre food. They are cutting massive corners and hoping the parsley and pomegranate seed garnishes trick you into thinking you're getting a fine dining experience.
