Mildred's Temple Kitchen

Last week, my mom took me & a friend for a truly remarkable Sunday brunch at Mildred's Temple Kitchen @ 85 Hanna Avenue in the blossoming, yuppy-filled Liberty Village.

I had heard good things about this popular brunch spot, so I was pretty excited to eat there. We tried to call ahead and make a reservation for 12:45pm for three, but unfortunately we were told that tables are given on a first come, first served basis. When we arrived, we were informed it would be a half hour wait for a table, but to give the hostess our name. (The restaurant was completely cleared out by 2:00pm, so if you feel like getting a little extra sleep on a Sunday morning, it may be wise if you plan on eating brunch here!)

We decided to walk around for a bit and check out the cute little plaza that this restaurant is tucked away in. We killed some time in West Elm, which is essentially a more upscale Ikea for the condo dwellers in the area.

When we returned, we were seated at a small booth table in the back of the restaurant.
Upon looking at the menu, I soon realized that my brunch decision would be a VERY hard one. Literally everything on the menu looked absolutely divine. Eventually we settled for buttermilk biscuits with butter and black current jam for starters, which were indescribably amazing.

For the main course, I had "Veda's Choice", which was two poached eggs on croissant with smoked salmon, béarnaise & crispy oven roasted potatoes.
My mom had "Mrs. Beiderhofs pancakes", which were blueberry buttermilk pancakes doused in Lanark county maple syrup and whipped cream.
Needless to say, everything was amazing. I CANNOT wait to go back and try everything else on the menu because not only is the food fantastically delicious, it is incredibly reasonably priced at approximately twelve dollars a dish.

Cheers to Mildred!
