An OEB Breakfast Co. restaurant opened right near my home last year and I had still never visited it so on Saturday I invited my friend Esther to join me there for breakfast.
It’s a busy place so I was glad I’d made a reservation.
We were given the perfect table in a sunny window with a view out over the city.
Everything on the menu looked tempting and delicious. Esther and I decided we would share a Canadian Lobster and Shrimp Crepe served with Hollandaise sauce and truffle pearls. It did not disappoint. We each added an artfully arranged fruit plate as well.
The wait staff were ever so friendly and I thought the all-gender washrooms with their unique door labels were cool.
Esther and I talked about what the OE in the restaurant’s name stood for. Esther thought maybe ‘over-easy’ to allude to all the egg dishes on the menu.
Looking on the website later I found out OEB is an acronym.
O stands for outstanding people and refers to the great staff.
E stands for embracing evolution because the restaurant likes to try new things and push culinary boundaries.
B stands for bold food integrity. They use farm fresh local and seasonal ingredients.
The restaurant was busy and a buzz with conversation. That made it cheerful but also made it hard to carry on a conversation with your meal companion.
My husband Dave was just a little jealous that I’d tried the new restaurant in our neighbourhood without him so I have a feeling I might be going back again soon with him.
