Sunday. 12:00pm. Brunch time. Lady Marmalade is clearly in the running for the best brunch in the city. A small, bustling, bright spot on queen east in leslieville, it seems that there is a constant lineup of hungry leslievillians waiting for their dose of the delicious brunch and lunch options.
- Relish: Sweet or savoury? Such a tough choice here...about 6 eggs benny combinations, savoury waffles, banana nut french toast (changes daily!), mexican style eggs, crepes, paninis....so many delicious and creative options! I had the avocado, bacon and brie eggs benedict - served with crisped potatoes and a small salad...heavenly. It's pretty self explanatory, although the combination of the perfectly poached egg, crispy bacon, generous slices of ripe avocado and brie, all piled on top of the toasted and warmed english muffin made it the best eggs benedict I have ever had, hands down. I don't love hollandaise, and so had it on the side, but I did taste it and it was lemony goodness. The buckwheat crepe filled with fresh seasonal fruit, granola and honey was devoured to the absolute last morsel - a testament to its yummy factor.
- Quaff: A latte made with beans from a local coffee roaster down the street completed a delicious brunch. They also had some gorgeous looking lemonades and juices.
- Feel: bright, sunny, bustling spot filled with all shapes and sizes - young families, friends of all ages catching up, mostly groups of 2-4. A happy spot that made it hard to not grin and get enthused by the contented and cheerful buzz in the place!
Don't get discouraged by the lineup - it's worth the twenty minutes for the brunch heaven that follows.
