Ok, so the first time I ate at the Portage Bay Cafe was probably about 7 years ago when I was dating this guy named Jacob. He and I would go there on Sunday mornings and I would eat eggs with smoked salmon and he would have this egg dish that has beans and tortillas and is incredibly good.

After Jacob and I stopped seeing each other I forgot about Portage Bay…but I recently started back up with Portage Bay and I have had no regrets.

1. How can you not love a place that has an opulent condiment bar (read: mixed fruit, bowls of butter, bowls of whipped cream, berries, maple syrup) dedicated to Pancakes and French Toast? If loving pancakes is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

2. Organic eggs and meat and veggies. Nuff’ said.

3. Their food is just plain good.

The only complaint I have about the place is that sometimes the wait can be long. Otherwise I say eat there. Or don’t if I need a table.
