This afternoon I had brunch at Mildred’s Temple restaurant. The wait was over an hour but the food was pretty great. One plus is they use locally sourced material so their tea supplier was from the local company, Pluck. I have seen their teas at Chapters/Indigo but I haven’t ever tried any. In fact, when I ordered this, I actually thought it was the DAVIDs Movie Night tea. Oh well. This, unlike DAVIDs more elaborate tea, was essentially just a sencha based genmaicha. Nothing too special though it held up well to restaurant style brewing – a small pot of boiling water with one teabag that sits in their for god knows how long. It never got bitter and was just a nice taste of roastiness.
What did you EAT?
I went there for dinner during winter/summerlicious a couple of years ago. The food was good, but I didn’t like the long long row of side by side tables. I don’t know—I might give it another go.
I bought a Pluck rooibos at the AGO. Not particularly impressed. Sounded good, execution not so much.
I split the pancakes and the grilled cheese with a friend. Soo full! As for the tables, I’m sure I wouldn’t have liked it either but we got put at a nice, big round table that was isolated so no joining others for brunch. https://www.instagram.com/p/BBN4GUCvJSEPywROfGLWYjcQrwynwEcEldKIsY0/?taken-by=rachel12610
