Sunday Brunch

About a month ago, Daan and I realized that although we are married and live together and even work together, we hardly ever really 'see' each other ( a la Avatar) or even communicate as much as we need too.

To remedy this traversty, he thought up a beautiful and brilliant idea: Why not try out the great brunch places in our sleepy little city of Ottawa and its surrounding towns/villages every Sunday!

Hubster usually makes a scrumptious breakfasts and lunches over the weekends and although I DID intially miss my super amazing Belgian Waffle Maker (ermigawd to wake up to fresh waffles, best.wedding.gift.ever!), so far its been so great.

We wake up and daisy-eyed seek out the places that have the best brunches in Ottawa....so great that we had to share it with you!

We don't limit ourselves to just Ottawa, but the quaint little villages and those 'hip' little towns and all those hole in the wall local sec

rets to find the best omelettes and hollandaise sauce around!

This past Sunday, we wanted to get our wandering on so we headed over to Ottawa's very chic Westboro area to grab brunch at Baker Street Cafe.

This little place was just so....quaint! It was like you walked into grandma's kitchen with fresh breads and the most mouthwatering, steaming, gooooooey, HUGE cinnamon buns you could imagine! Critics whine that its all run-down, the wait is long blah blah blah. Yea, be prepared for the wait, for a good breakfast, you're gonna have to wait. I'd recommend going for brunch as you can wander the shops for a bit then grab a relaxed bit to eat!

Anyways, back to the cinnamon buns! obviously, that's the first thing I got! And trust me, it was

as good as it sounds :) yum!

Daan gets what he always gets, my little eggs benedict connoisseur, he is super picky about it but now he swears by their smoked salmon benedict and has (thus far) named their hollandaise sauce "The Best". Personally, I think hollandaise is weird.

I got their swiss cheese and mushroom omelette, which was nothing wow-wow-wow....but still delicious....but I think nothing will top that cinnamon bun!

After that we spent the day perusing furniture, antiquing, people watching, having pulpatation attacks over the most gorgeous wallpaper I've ever seen and just strolling around and enjoying each others company.

If anything, grab your girls, grab your man and just down to

Westboro for a great morning out...you don't need to blow money but just check out all the art galleries and interesting and inspiring people...a great way to start off the week!
