Ottawa’s top-tier spots for delicious French toast

Ottawa’s top-tier spots for delicious French toast

Located in the former home of a carriage mechanic in a building that dates back to the 1870s, this ByWard Market spot has retained its historic charm. Make yourself comfortable on the patio, by the bar, or in the back room by the fireplace and enjoy some French toast made with cranberry focaccia that’s been coated in a spiced batter, crème anglaise, bacon or sausage and warm maple syrup.

Brunch on Eggs Benedict in Ottawa

Brunch on Eggs Benedict in Ottawa

The Black Thorn is the perfect spot for a weekend brunch in the ByWard Market. Their eggs Benedict, with poached eggs, a toasted English muffin, house-made hollandaise and fried baby potatoes, come in a few varieties. Their smoked salmon benny, with maple-glazed salmon (smoked in house) goes great with the healthy four-ounce smoothie that comes with every brunch.

The Black Thorn has something for everyone. You can’t go wrong with either their farmer’s breakfast (three eggs of any style, three strips of bacon, three sausages, fried baby potatoes and multigrain toast) or their Black Thorn pizza (tomato sauce, prosciutto, mozzarella, Grana Padano cheese and fresh basil). Plus, every item on their brunch menu is served with a healthy four-ounce smoothie.
