Headlining the new brunch menus is a larger-than-life beverage program including MAGNUM offerings of Sorella Bronca Prosecco + Schramsberg Brut Rose + Delamotte Brut Champagne(yes, 1.5 litres); a variety of refreshing spritzes; and creative takes on brunch classics like the loaded Cucina bloody mary + espressotini.
To satisfy diverse appetites during the 10 am – 2:30 pm offering, the food menu offers distinct signature categories for brunchers to enjoy:
Sweet: New takes on cinnamon rolls, pancakes, and French toast offer fresh citrus elements and creamy accoutrement.
Savory: The CUCINA burger and giant meatball headline this category, but do not out shadow salads and fall dishes rotating onto the menu based on seasonal availability.
Pizza: Those who can’t settle for a breakfast inspired smoked salmon pie, could opt for Calabrian sausage + egg, or the classic Margherita.
With Egg: Purists will love the thick-cut bacon and eggs, but the more adventurous are welcome to explore the crab frittata, or polenta “poutine”, bucatini amatriciana, and avocado toast each showcasing the versatility of eggs.
Kids: Younger appetites can indulge in pancakes, French toast, eggs, pasta, and more.
