Another day, another visit to a brunch place for a nice meal early in the morning. Cora’s Breakfast and Lunch is considered to be the ultimatum in breakfast places, according to several sources. Anyways, Cora’s is a franchise and there are several locations all over Ontario. Unlike other breakfast places, Cora’s offers a colourful environment and encourages healthy eating (they offer “mountains” of fruit with the majority of their dishes). It’s a more expensive place comparing with the other franchises (Eggsmart, Sunset Grill, etc), but you will find that it is worth the extra money.
Feeling hungry, I got The Construction Plate ($8.45 + tax) and Hot Chocolate ($2.25 + tax) while my girlfriend got the Spinach Cheddar Crepe Omelette ($10.95 + tax) and Orange Juice ($3.45 + tax). Both dishes come with toast (mine came with three slices while hers came with two) and they were soft and warm (my preference). The sausages on the construction plate were soft and chewy, but a little bit oily for my taste. The eggs were your usual eggs, but they weren’t cooked so much as to having burnt edges that you usually see, which is good. The home fries were quite good comparing with other breakfast joints, as they were soft and moist. The crepe omelette felt like I was eating a taco because of the crepe similar to a soft shell. It was good though, filled with spinach and cheddar cheese inside and covering the crepe. The fruit you see in the picture is only a “cup” of fruit (I came again another time and believe me, the “mountain” of fruits is A LOT of fruit).
I must say, this is an enjoyable experience. The environment was good and so was the service. However, I have yet to try the Eggs Benedict, so for all you Benedict enthusiasts out there, do give it a try for yourself (but I doubt it could be bad). This is probably my go-to breakfast place from now on and hope it will be for all of you as well.
