My sister and I were recently visiting Toronto, and a family member wanted to meet us for brunch…read moreone day. She suggested a regular favorite of hers: Cafe Landwer at Avenue Road and Lawrence. We were delighted with the tasty food and the good service.
Croissant Benedict with scrambled eggs and turkey bacon
Merguez Shakshuka
Avocado Toast
Landwer's Rosalach, half portion with Nutella filling
I ordered a Croissant Benedict which usually comes with poached eggs on a butter croissant, avocado, and homemade hollandaise sauce. I ordered the eggs scrambled, avocado on the side, and turkey bacon as an add-on. It was served with crushed potatoes. My sister ordered the Merguez Shakshuka, consisting of beef sausage, cherry tomatoes, roasted onion, and parsley. It was served with two eggs, tahini, side salad, and challah roll. Our family member ordered Avocado Toast consisting of sourdough toast, cherry tomatoes, radish, chili flakes, hard boiled egg, and feta cheese. All of the food was delicious and filling. Though we saved room for dessert where we ordered a half portion of Landwer's Rosalach, which is freshly rolled dough filled with a creamy sweet filling of our choice and baked to order. We ordered a Nutella filling. Yum!!!!
