Lady Marmalade

I decided to start off my first day of vacation with brunch! Since it was a Monday the options were a little limited. After a bit of research, I discovered that Lady Marmalade was open, so my friend Chris and I made our way over. It happened to be an extremely hot day which made it an uncomfortable street car ride. Unfortunately, Lady Marmalade didn’t have air con either…only fans that blew around the hot air, so I was hoping the food was worth it.

[Vancouver] Jethro’s Fine Grub

Before even arriving in Vancouver, my friend Dave told me he had to take me to Jethro’s, a great little breakfast spot. We dropped by on a Wednesday morning for breakfast.

Oliver & Bonacini Café Grill

Since Mike and I previously had a great experience at the Waterloo Oliver & Bonacini, we decided to give the Toronto (Yonge and Front) location a try. This location opened up about a year ago, replacing the Shopsy’s Deli which used to occupy the spot. Upon entering the restaurant, I was surprised to see how large the space was. It has a large dining area, a bar/lounge area, as well as a large patio.
