Ottawa Foodies

We went to pick up our son from the skate park at 11:00 AM (they rented the place for their group for $200 for their cycling team for 2 hours). Since the indoor skate park is close to St. Laurent Street, we decided to have brunch at Perkins after we picked him up.

The place was packed as usual. Many people waited inside and outside already. So, the staff told us our wait time would be about 20 minutes. She gave us a wireless type coaster pager (www.pager.net). So, we picked up the menu and used the wait time to review the menu. We didn't wait for too long and we were alerted by the coaster (it flashed and vibrated) when our table was ready.

Overall, the food was fine. Please see the photo below for the food we ordered. Not too much excitment for egg and sauage type food.

The food is so so. But I like the atmosphere there. We took our friends there for a breakfast on a Sunday and the place was packed. We had to line up and waited for about 20 minutes. I remember that their special was a good deal.

I wasn't too hungry. So, I ordered the Classics egg favourites which includes 2 sunny side eggs, hash browns, 3 buttermilk pancakes and sausage (or bacon). I think it is a good deal for $6.89.

This is the Granny's Country Omelette ($9.29) my husband ordered. Wrapped inside are diced ham, onions, chedder cheese, celery and green peppers. Also served with 3 buttermilk pancakes and hash browns.

This is the BBQ Bacon Supreme Burger ($8.99) my son ordered. He told me it was good. I am sure that he was hungry after 2-hour non-stop exercise.
