Vendome Cafe

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

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. Speaking of, it was INCREDIBLE. I have a soft spot for duck and if you're in the mood to treat yo'self and treat yo'self right, get duck in some way, shape, or form. Preferably this form, because the crepes are the perfect compliment to the duck. Sweet, savory, satisfying: Duck confit crepes. 

The cafe itself is very toasty, and cosy, so hopefully you don't mind close quarters. It also tends to fill up pretty quickly, so get there around 9 am to avoid a big ol' lineup. The staff is great, the place is so warm and welcoming. This is definitely going on the Brunch List. 9/10

Portland Part I

If you're a bit lost, start  HERE Over the summer, I was supposed to do a lot of things. I was supposed to climb a mountain (yeah right), work on my writing (ditto), and go to a music festival. The music festival plan went 10 types of sideways, so instead I went to Portland for 4 days to eat my way through America's hipster capital. LET ME TELL YOU I did not want to come home. I may have cried a little upon liftoff. But before all the sadness and goodbyes, I managed to enjoy the city throughly. Rolling in on a balmy August Wednesday, the city welcomed me with open arms. The first thing I noticed about downtown Portland was that the transit system was way better than back home. (thanks Calgary) The second thing I noticed was the food carts.  In a handful of strategic spots downtown, Portland has given an entire city block over to various food carts. I'm talking tacos, shawarma, donair, kebobs, fried chicken, ramen, paleo BBQ, sushi, Cajun cuisine, donuts...

I have Instagram!

I FINALLY got a new account set up just for all of my food pics, dreams, aspi- and inspi-rations! Go follow me @tallblondehungryyyc ! Happy Eating!
