Tall, Blonde, and Hungry

If you're a bit lost, start  HERE Brunch Month continues here on TBH, and this next one is definitely joining the Brunch List.  Vendome Café (Breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks) 940 2nd Ave NW Eat In $$*** Nestled into scenic Sunnyside and conveniently located 2 blocks from the train, Vendome Cafe has an extensive and delicious sounding menu. A part of the Teatro family of restaurants, it serves everything from French Toast Bread Pudding to paninis to the delight that I ingested, Duck Confit crepes.  Duck Confit crepes (Confit duck crepes with sauteéd leek and carrot, port cherry sauce. Minus the  rosemary whipped chevre) $15.50 Je t'aime  The cafe is SUPER friendly to lactose intolerant people, as they not only had several milk subs for my latte but also left out the rosemary chevre that usually adorns this dish.

Side of hash browns) $13.75 Oh Baby Have I mentioned I love the food here? T...

I will jump on any opportunity to go to brunch.  Now, I may have mentioned it before, but I am pretty lactose intolerant. This means that I've been deprived of my most favourite brunch dish for years. But I finally found a place in Calgary that can do DAIRY FREE EVERYTHING. I repeat: DAIRY FREE EVERYTHING. Including hollandaise sauce, a sauce that traditionally is made with a butt ton of butter.  Let's dig into this beaut The Coup (Vegetarian, vegan cuisine) 924 17th Ave SW Eat In, $$*** The Poacher ( miso braised eggplant & king oyster mushrooms with 2 poached eggs on a house-made “butter” biscuit, hollandaise sauce & micro leaf served with hash browns gluten-free option: served on a dehydrated cashew, herb, bell pepper kale leaf) (Whew) $17 OH MY GOD  Eggs benedict is by far one my fa...
