The folks at Eggspectation liken a visit to their establishment as “le cirque des oeufs” and I have to agree. With locations in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Vaughan Hills, Maine, Maryland and New Delhi (!), they have quite the selection of breakfast goodies on their menu. I have to admit that I’ve only tried ONE item on their menu since discovering them 10 or so years ago while attending Concordia University in Montreal.. but it’s a masterpiece: The Yolk Around the Clock. In Montreal we call this a Bagelette and there are several variations of it. The Eggspectation version is (from their menu) “A bagel cut in half, toasted then put on the grill, two sunny eggs in the hole of the bagel, covered with bacon and melted cheese, served with grilled potatoes and chef’s fruit garnish.”

I had mine with Swiss cheese:

(yes, there are bagel halves with eggs and bacon under all of that..) SUPER YUMMY! I could go for another one right now. $9.99 coffee extra.

A side note: I’ve mentioned in my profile that I wouldn’t post entries about places that I didn’t like, but I’m going to have to make an exception here as a warning to the readers of BB. I tried the weekend brunch buffet at Hooley’s on Elgin yesterday and was quite disappointed. Expensive with just the basics to offer in their buffet and I had other issues that I don’t want to mention here. And coffee is extra. Don’t bother. For the same price you can have a MUCH better brunch buffet experience at Le Bop (Café Aubry) in Hull. Cheers!
