PARC

BEST FOR All-day breakfasts. FOOD Locally sourced artisanal produce and homemade products are transformed with a lot of love. Try the clever Not-So-Benedict: perfectly poached eggs, a choice between mushrooms, bacon or wilted spinach with delicious lemon hollandaise sauce and capers on rye, ciabatta or potato-and-rosemary artisanal bread. If you’re lucky you could find a Benedict special that goes with a Bloody Mary cocktail. Or try the bananabread French toast with fresh banana, mango and lime curd with brown sugar, allspice crumble and ginger cream. Light meals include salads, soup and quiches of the day, as well as a vegan BLT option with braised butternut, and a chickpea curry roti wrap. For sweets there are cakes, muffins and scones. DRINKS A small but smart wine list, a few craft beers and inspired milkshakes. SERVICE Warm and efficient. AMBIENCE It’s a cosy, hip and laid-back café. (KMO)
