Special Billy K brunch at Cafe St Laurent

Here is the first of two recent tips delivered straight to my mailbox and now straight to you…

e-Von writes that Canadian Embassy Chef Billy Kawaja has launched a new weekend brunch at Cafe St. Laurent, better known to 80s music lovers as Alfa. (Note; my lone experience with Billy K’s cooking was at an excellent wine dinner last fall, which inspired my weirdest - and most terrifying - write-up ever.)

Billy’s menu has new takes on classic foods, writes e-Von. “If you like steak and eggs, you’ll love the wagyu beef with Parmesan flan and emmental potatoes, and fans of French toast will enjoy Billy’s version, made with bittersweet chocolate, brioche, and grilled banana, and of course accompanied with real maple syrup.” (And back bacon, that’s somewhere on that menu, right?) There’s also a selection of special cocktails, including  the Asian Mary and Cafe St. Laurent Shake.

Brunch runs from 10:30 AM to 3:30 PM; reservations are recommended (6415-0161).
