May 7, 2011: Grigons In Addition To Orr Ii

With a trip to the markets lined up, Cindy too I met upward with Mike, Jo too Tracy for breakfast at Grigons too Orr. We'd enjoyed our first visit, although I'd inexplicably ordered something vaguely healthy. With a grouping of v nosotros were forced to sit down outside, which meant making purpose of the proffered articulatio genus rugs.

I'm non certain if nosotros were given preferential handling final fourth dimension or if things bring changed, but this fourth dimension to a greater extent than or less nosotros were forced to guild everything at the counter. It's non actually a big hassle, but having to duck within whenever yous desire some other java kills some of the relaxed breakfast vibe. Also: the card has changed a flake - at that spot are a few to a greater extent than veg/vegan options: a cous-cous based savoury dish too beans on toast, addition the cous-cous porridge too scrambled tofu (hidden inward the dejeuner department of the menu).

I went for the tofu, with sauteed spinach on sourdough toast ($12).

The scramble is scrambled into a pretty polish paste, with non a lot of tofu chunks. There was something sweetness inward with the herb too tomato-y flavours, which wasn't quite the flavor I was looking for - typically, I was hoping for something a flake spicier.

Cindy went sweet: French toast (home-made brioche, coated inward creme anglais too fried too served with pan-roasted apple tree too maple syrup.

The brioche made for an close cakey French toast which was drier than Cindy expected, but the fantabulous roasted apple tree too delicious maple syrup to a greater extent than than made upward for it.

Grigons too Orr didn't quite mensurate upward to my expectations this fourth dimension to a greater extent than or less - the outdoor seating is a flake crude oil inward wintertime (and the exhaust of the Queensberry St traffic is in all probability annoying all twelvemonth 'round), too the counter service didn't stone my world. Still, the nutrient was impressive plenty too the attain of vegan options is excellent.

Nobody else seems to bring reviewed Grigons too Orr since nosotros final checked it out.
