The server advised in advance that the grill was down, so only poached or scrambled eggs (slightly disappointing as I prefer sunny side up, but survivable) so I opted for poached. 45 minutes later (not an intolerable wait depending on staffing issues) my plate arrives with the server now telling me that they ran out of potatoes (surprise!)...so no home fries (which is honestly the whole reason we go out for Sunday breakfast), but a smattering of fruit now sits in its lieu. Only 2, not the accepted minimum 3, slices of bacon. The toast is so cold the butter won't melt. The worst breakfast I've had in recent memory, and I think that I probably lost weight eating it.

This review is for the cafe/breakfast part, and I'll need to come back for dinner one day. Reservations are for dinner only. First of all, the menu is EXTENSIVE, which was pleasantly surprising given how compact the indoor appeared to be (unless there's a backroom I missed!). From various pastries, brunch specials, salads, hearty sandwiches, and pizzas, everything looked looked pretty fresh and hearty. There's also a wide variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks The SMOKED BRISKET GRILLED CHEESE AU JUS definitely hit the spot with rich slices of brisket, chewy gruyere cheese, and a tasty dipping just. The JERUSALEM SPICED CHICKEN SCHNITZEL SAMMIE lightly battered crispy chicken that was more like a chicken tender than a traditional schnitzel, but it was more ergonomic that way in sammie form. Their pickled toppings gave it a good balance of flavours. That said, from a presentation/portion/value perspective, both plates looked barren with just the sammies, and I think throwing even a pinch of some greens on the side would really complete things. Overall, a great spot to come by if you're in the area!

They were all good in their own respect but the Maibock was and always has been my favorite. Their prices are very reasonable, especially with the exchange rate right now. I left with a case of each! They also are opening a beer garden soon with nice wooden, covered tables. They sell swag like mugs and shirts too. I'll be back in a few weeks to stock up more!

Parking: Not the city tso free parking and plenty of it Inside: It's small like the they all are. There are the giant freezers behind the counter that you get them to get stuff for you. There's also a couple of open freezers on our side to grab bags of veg and single meals and soups. The goods: Standard m&m food. Hit and miss. I like the cabbage rolls, the dry garlic pork, French onion soup and Phili cheese steak meat. Oh the ribs and chicken breast are good too. Every dessert I've had i had liked. There are a lot of misses for me but you have to try it out yourself Cost: Kinda pricey not going to lie. Buy on sale or if you sign up for emails there are weekly specials just for you!

Don't tell anyone, but I fell off the veg wagon *hard core* during our stay in Bala this year. I couldn't resist, and I was soooo glad I didn't. This year's meaty samplings included whole, marinated chicken; beef kebabs; pork tenderloin; jumbo tiger shrimp; sea scallops; beef burgers; lamb sliders; and prime beef steaks. The quality of meat here is blow-your-mind amazing, and most of it is cut, filleted, or ground right before your eyes. You can pre-order rarer meats, too, like bison, duck, elk, and rabbit. Also available are a selection of amazingly delicious cheeses including real smoked cheddar and black truffled goat. As well as gourmet crackers, chips, dips, and spreads. Not to mention tidbits like addictive Milford Bay smoked trout, brie wheels, charcuterie, and homemade frozen cookie dough to take back to the cottage. Insane. Staff is wonderfully friendly, a local family who loves what they do -- we visited nearly every day for 9 days, and they always recognized us, chatted with us a few minutes, and thanked us profusely for our business (I think we're putting the youngest through uni). And they're still trolling the lakes on their adorable pontoon boat, delivering your orders or stopping by your dock if you flag them down to let you browse that day's selection. This place has to be, without a doubt, one of the best butcher shops and gourmets on the planet, let alone Bala.
